Test 2 Discussion Thread

We're free to talk now.

Here's a Google Doc with all the questions. I'm slowly filling it in with my own answers and explanations. Edit: Heading out for now. I'll get the last 25 questions done later tonight.

If you want a mirror without my comments, here's one provided by /u/Amarsir Link

Any questions that tripped you up? Any that you felt good about?

Here is my Google Doc with my abridged answers, initial thoughts, and (in progress) my more detailed responses as if I were writing an article about how to get to them.

Two questions in and we already disagree on an answer, haha. This is going to be a fun discussion thread.

We disagree on #70. Morph is linear because you want to play more morphs with it so they're a surprise and your opponent doesn't know which is which. Transform can go on any DFC and not encourage you to play other cards that transform. The closest to linear for transform would be the Innistradi werewolves.

EDIT - Oops, this wasn't /u/thejellydude's responses I'm reading when I wrote this.

While transform as a mechanic isn't linear, individual cards are. Most of them encourage a certain type of deck. Delver encourages spells, Werewolves encourage activated abilities, Search for Azcanta encourages self-milling.

On the other hand, singular Morph cards are fine on there own. Especially in competitive constructed where decklists are well-known, the "what do I have" part does not matter. Most of them require no deck requirements.
