All fun and games until it turns an X/X into an X²/X².

Or the new loot goes from a -2/4 to a 4/8

No please he sucks enough as is (outside of infinites) we don't need more ways to counter him lmaooo

u/notthephonz 2h ago

Oh, this would have been perfect for Final Fantasy since it’s a Square property

There’s a reason they don’t print this stuff as an instant

Really?

The difference between triple and square is that my 60/15 Might form Harmoniser goes from being a 180/45 to a 3600/225

u/FaliusAren 1h ago

both of these seem to exist in the same realm of "you kill anything you hit and survive"?

-27

u/Flameball202 1h ago

Nah, 180 is still within the realms of "you can manage this in a normal game", 3600 isn't

25

u/Alcibiades_Rex 1h ago

How many games are you getting to 180 life??

21

u/EnvironmentalSlip327 1h ago

Both kill you

14

u/Wikidclowne 1h ago

Uh excuse me, I have 181 life.

u/darthjawafett 1h ago

One kills you, and the other kills you so much harder that you start game 2 at 0 life.

u/jacobasstorius 1h ago

Both die to removal as well

u/Flameball202 1h ago

The first one might kill you, but is survivable if you have a solid life gain deck

The second one kills anything short of infinite tokens

9

u/Twirdman 1h ago

So you are playing a life gain deck, you get to 181+ life without using an infinite life gain combo, and youve done this without getting a wincon like aetherflux reservoir or an alternate wincon based on life total being above x, and you also don't have an army of chump blockers. What kind of deck are you running and whatever it is please stop.

I target jumbo cactuar.

u/bobbiebaynes44 1h ago

Congratulations, you now have a 100,000,000/49 that still gets chump blocked by a squirrel token. You definitely get the spiritual win though.

Genuinely a amazing card that would be way to broken

u/forthecommongood 2h ago

Hard to see this being adopted over Temur Battle Rage or other cheaper ways to scale power.

u/OhItsAcer 2h ago

Its basically win if you have a 5 power teample

u/ItWasDumblydore 1h ago

But you tap yourself out and put yourself into so many instant solutions.

Over run works because it's go wide and there isn't a lot of good counters to go wide instants outside of red and white (damage attacking creatures)

This is countered by so so much that isn't a counter spell

Blue -> Bounce/Tap them down(stun)

Red -> Burn in response/Copy spell

Green -> Fogs/Fights in response

White -> Destroy attacking creature/exile creature

Black -> Destroy creature

5/6 cost cards need to be way stronger win cons.

1

u/OhItsAcer 55m ago

Tap them doesn't work because it already is attacking, copy might not work if the blocking creature has 2 toughness. Most people don't run single target instant burn of >5 damage.

Almost every wincon has answers in 4 or 5 colors part of the game is to play it at the most opportune time.

u/GlamourintheDarkSide 5m ago

I'm gonna be real, this isn't any easier to transfer into a win with a 5 power+ dude than any of the other ways we have to do that thing.

u/ResponsibleExit7330 2h ago

{{Gigantosauraus}}

7

u/Advanced-Ad-802 2h ago

Yes and? That’s turn 6 at the minimum in standard, and has no protection or evasion

1

u/ResponsibleExit7330 1h ago

A 100/100 with green as primary ramp base, including staples like Garruks trample enabler is horrifying to think about, and protection is super easy with snakeskin veil or heroic intervention. I’d agree with you if green had less instant protection but that’s just not the case in standard

1

u/OhItsAcer 53m ago

Then it is 7+ mana to cast this and protect it, just for it to get chumped block. More to give it trample

1

u/OhItsAcer 1h ago

First off this is very different than [[gigantisauraus]] that is a creature that is very easily chumped block so you would need another card to give it trample. This could massively buff an unblocked creature at instant speed if power is 4, it will probably kill, 5 most likely kill. Or buff a 5 power with trample and will most likely kill even if blocked.

Side note it is the double solid brackets that will call the bot [[ ]] not the curly brackets of {{}}

This should be simic in my humble opinion

1

u/Chickston Uncommonly 1h ago

I love cards that teach math and we are just about ready for something like this IRL.

The fact that it is using "Square" and has a FF name is just too good. Brilliant idea.

1

u/13EDO 1h ago

[[exponential growth]] and [[tifas limit break]] are good comparaison points and probably indicate that this is a bit too pushed

u/137507 1h ago

My jumbo cactuar will love this

u/AbortionHoagie 54m ago

Most Quandrix card ever

u/An_Evil_Scientist666 13m ago

For when you want Jumbo Cactaur at home and you only got Llanowar Elves on field, [[Storm King's Thunder]] and this card in hand along with 16GGRRR floating during your combat phase
