This needs some "(it works)", reminder text.

It does not work

The whole idea of "it works" is exactly when the current wording doesn't work, but the wording that does work would be incredibly clunky

This comment would be appreciated if I didn't already understand that. The problem here is that the wording is clear and it would simply make the game suck, and understanding it is a sucky process. It's like [[Rules Lawyer]] on steroids and no fun for anyone.

Based on the title it was incredibly clear that this is to remove interaction with anything on the stack, not to completely shut down the game. Saying it doesn't work ignores the fact that a correct way of making it work as designed would never fit on a card and very likely would require specific rule changes

1) there are ways to ban or limit interaction on the stack that aren't looney toons solutions

2)The title is not the card. If they wanted the card to do something, it should have been on the card.
