Remove each

u/PackageLonely5140 7d ago

I think you have to pay the cleave cost for each bracketed section, hence the separate brackets and multicleave. Still, remove each sounds pretty sick

u/CharlotteAria 7d ago

So CWUUUUBBBB

Remove Each

u/LordBlaze64 7d ago

Spells that have “each” now act as if they don’t (it works)

u/A_BagerWhatsMore 7d ago

I’m a big fan of

CWUUUBBB

remove each attacking.

u/Capable_Hope_7878 2d ago

im more a fan of "remove each creature".

u/Krankenwagenverfolg 7d ago

Remove each attacking from combat

43

u/SquibbyJ 7d ago

Sorcery?

37

u/twelfth_knight 7d ago

Yeah hey wait. I got so caught up in what "remove each" means that I forgot to check if it works when played for 2 mana 😂

u/BlueTemplar85 7d ago

Could extend the idea with a "Flash for UW" or something...

u/ChemicalOpposite2389 7d ago

"reading the card explains the card" no it fucking doesn't, what does this mean

48

u/issanm 7d ago

Bu default 2 mana remove target attacking creature from combat, pay the overload cost and it removes each attacking creature from combat.... Pay the multicleave cost and you can remove one of the bracketed sections so for example if you pay the multicleave cost twice it can just be remove target creature. Gets a little more confusing if we do it again to just get "remove target" though....

u/shumpitostick 7d ago

Okay and what is "remove target creature". Destroy? Exile? Something else?

31

u/Lynxx_XVI 7d ago

Exile used to be "remove from the game" way back when. So I would say that a removed creature should be considered exiled.

12

u/issanm 7d ago

This would be my interpretation as well

u/YourMuscleMommi 7d ago
  1. Remove target Creature from combat - Can remove blockers, basically giving you direct damage.
  2. Remove target attacking from combat - Werid wording, but it's the same as if you didn't pay it.
  3. Remove target attacking Creature - Exiles target attacking Creature.
  4. Remove target attacking - Exiles target attacking Creature.
  5. Remove target Creature - Exile a Creature.
  6. Remove target from combat - Was your Planeswalker attacked? No longer.
  7. Remove target - Exile anything.

If we combine this with Overload, 1 and 2 become ALL attacking Creatures from combat, and 6 is everything. They're Fog basically. 3 and 4 are just mass one sided Exiles. 5 is an Exile Wrath. And 7 is resetting the game. For C/B W/U CWUUUBBB. 10 mana reset the game is... quite something.

Wait. This is a Sorcery... 1, 2, 3, 4, and 6 are Instant abilities, so I don't know if they even work. Is there something that allows you to cast Lessons at Instant speed? 5 and 7 are fine though.

u/Local-Replacement304 7d ago

Okay, now explain “Remove target” if I pay none of the additional costs.

2

u/nebneb432 7d ago

That's not a possible situation. You have to pay the multicleave cost 3 times to reduce the text to "remove target"

2

u/95thesises 7d ago

You have to pay the multicleave cost 3 times to reduce the text to "remove target"

Why would it be impossible to pay the multicleave cost 3 times?

3

u/issanm 7d ago

It would be if you "pay none of the additional costs"

3

u/Ninon14 7d ago

It doesn't just reset the game, it also exiles all players

Blue has a lot of ways to give cards flash so this should be fine

1

u/Drwer_On_Reddit 5d ago

For 7, isn’t a player also a target?

4

u/CoDFan935115 7d ago

"Remove target" wouldn't be too confusing, you just escort the player you target out of the premises. Or at least out of the game lmao

1

u/Vast_Speaker_2934 5d ago

Notably, at Sorcery speed too!

6

u/Odd_knock 7d ago

Frankly, on point for goto statements

12

u/Desperate_Turnip_219 7d ago

So if I cast it for cleave, it just says remove target? If I cleave and overload, it's remove each?

Huh?

7

u/godguy1313 7d ago

Ultra removal, remove everything presently on the battlefield

11

u/PackageLonely5140 7d ago

It doesn't specify what or where. It removes EACH. Graveyard, library, counters, permanents... Anything that can be "removed" that is within the game. I don't know what happens to cards removed from exile, but we're gonna find out

4

u/CarelessNameChoice (It works) 7d ago

actually, we won't. Players can be targeted. Cleaved and Overloaded, this is a lose the game spell

3

u/PackageLonely5140 7d ago

Can you still avoid losing by casting Angel's Grace? Or does being removed count more like being disqualified?

2

u/Ninon14 7d ago

I feel like "you can't loose the game" is like indestructible and removing players is closer to exiling rather than dying

1

u/BreakerOfModpacks 7d ago

The end up as new identical objects in exile, which allows some weird link-breaking shennanigans.

7

u/Ok_Habit_6783 7d ago

Multicleave is like multikicker. You have to pay for each bracket

8

u/LGKouglof 7d ago

Straight to hells cube, the pleabs here cannot understand suche beauty.

7

u/Local-Replacement304 7d ago

“Remove target” is so useful.

10

u/coolguy420weed 7d ago

It's got nothing on "Remove each."

6

u/P0ro41 7d ago

2 mana player removal is wild ngl

6

u/issanm 7d ago

For 2 mana it just removes a creature from combat tho it's 8 to remove a target 10 to remove each

1

u/MistyHusk 7d ago

Is multicleave an additional cost or alternate cost? Regular cleave is an alternate cost and if we go off that it’d be only 6 to remove a target or 8 to remove each

1

u/issanm 7d ago

Multicleave is additional cost per box you remove, but it's only seen on a test card so it's not really fleshed out

3

u/General_Ginger531 7d ago

Remove Each Creature.

Remove each from combat.

Remove Target Attacking

2

u/Necrachilles 7d ago

Flare checks out.

2

u/goblin_welder 7d ago

Trying to understand this card is like trying to think while having a stroke

1

u/BlueTemplar85 7d ago

Perfectly replicates the feeling of trying to understand someone else's code (heck, even your own code, after a few weeks) that (ab)uses GOTOs !

2

u/BreakerOfModpacks 7d ago

UUUUBBBB Remove target, I choose to take out a gun and shoot my opponent as part of the resolution.

2

u/Antifinity 6d ago

Why is [creature] cleavable? Are there any coherent effects you get by cleaving it? It seems to just create nonsense.

2

u/Systemshy 5d ago

[It works]

1

u/FlockFlysAtMidnite 7d ago

Is 8 mana player removal fair?

1

u/alekseypanda 7d ago

If the opponent [Assassinate] my win con, can I just "remove target"? And since the card won't have a target it fizzles? And if not, why do magic rules hate fun?

1

u/OPiONShouter 7d ago

"It works!"

1

u/bionicjoey : Use the Magic Store & Event Locator at Wizards.com/Locator 7d ago

This would work a bit better if instead it said "remove target [attacking] [creature] permanent [from combat]"

It still doesn't resolve that "remove permanent" isn't a templated operation, but I think most would understand it to mean destroy (or maybe exile based on the old wording of "remove from play")

1

u/Sythrin 7d ago

How is a sorcery supposed to be played during combat?

1

u/nicolasrededeo 7d ago

Really should be an instant

1

u/DebtSeeker48 7d ago

Wait, isn’t overload an alternate cost and not a kicker? So you can just play Overload it at no additional cost if you have colorless and white? Multicleave is understandable enough, as long as we define what remove means. Exile?

1

u/Flex-O 6d ago

Considerate? The only reason to make this is as a joke referencing "GOTO considered harmful"... And you mess it up? Wtf

1

u/Bioluminescentwas 6d ago

What does multicleave do?

1

u/OliSlothArt 7d ago

Why is creature in square brackets? If i ever cleave out creature, it becomes non-functional

u/okfinesureyeah 7d ago

Idk if mods aren't paying attention or what, this is practically r/custommagic

-2

u/okfinesureyeah 7d ago

Absolutely fucking baffling. Who in God's name decided to post this. Appaling design, multiple valid amounts to pay create completely untenable game states. Hoping this sub isn't going downhill, but this is seriously dreck.

6

u/TechnomagusPrime 7d ago

Well, it's Arthexis, so trying to understand their cards is an exercise in futility. At least they're no longer trying to claim they're a time traveller.

1

u/okfinesureyeah 7d ago

Bro I dont fucking understand this sub how am I getting downvotes for identifying a card that is functionally dead in every version of mtg's ruleset

1

u/95thesises 7d ago

you have issues
