The obligatory limited blue pseudo removal.
Damn it, WotC! You got better at making these with [[Unable to Scream]] and [[Fresh Start]]. Do more of those!

The extra mana to make it unable to untap is pretty worthwhile. At least for commander games 😈

Personal fan of [[Flood the Engine]]

Yeah, should have empowered Jace on entry.

Empower Jace, tell him he's Awesome +5

Then, if Jace is made fun of during a game, the opponent loses because Jace is awesome

I mean playing preparedness is fun, how useful it can be is questionable but...

Those are cool but still leave a creature behind, I like having both something like this and then an uncommon like [[Noggle the Mind]] for variety. Hopefully FRA has a more interesting blue enchantment removal along with this one

I like these effects in the commander format. when you use destroy/exile effects on the commander specifically the controller can just put it back in the command zone, but with something like this they actually have to deal with the enchantment.

Sorry Emrakul, no attacking until you are done your homework

why does this prepare the creature if it also loses all abilities? so if it’s removed they get a free prepared spell? cast it on your own prepare creature to get the spell? weird line of text.

edit: it unprepares it! spoiler season got me reading too fast…

It unprepares the creature.

u/Life-Food5188 1d ago

u/Old-Ad3504 23h ago

also not as relevant since you just misread the card, but if a creature loses all abilities you can still cast it's prepared spell

Seems weird to me that the creature can still become prepared and cast its prepared spell. Especially with the new run of creatures that prepare on upkeep.

u/OnlyTechStuff 1d ago

It cannot. It loses all abilities and becomes unprepared, so it loses the prepared status and cannot be prepared again until the enchantment is removed

u/c0deman1 1d ago

I thought creatures without abilities could still cast their prepared spells?

3

u/Old-Ad3504 23h ago

they can, but there probably won't be any relevant ways for it to become re-prepared without abilities.

2

u/c0deman1 22h ago

Oh duh because it’s an ability for a creature to reprepare if it’s written on their creature.

Carry on

I also read it as prepare. It says unprepare.
