So what does this card *do*?

It’s a creature card so it can attack your opponent and reduce their life points.

I see.
Well, not really. But sort of. When you play the card do you start singing John Mellencamp’s “Crumbling Down” just to get on your opponent’s nerves?

That’s ok, Magic is a complex game that only gets more complex as time goes on so I wouldn’t expect anyone not already familiar with it or some other collectable trading card game to understand.
You could do that song thing, but you might lose a friend if you did!

Tap Target wall😂. What a legend card this is🙂. Who’s wall do you tap though, yours or opponents?

So a creature, like Ali baba, can attack an opponents life points (you start with 20). the person he is attacking can choose to block with one of their own creatures. But you can only block with untapped creatures. So if Ali Baba taps an opponents wall (which is a creature), that wall can’t block Ali Baba and Ali smacks the opponent for 1 damage.

Can opponent still use a different card to counter the smack after the wall is tapped?

Yes. If they have another creature on the field, they can use that to block.

Appreciate all the r and d, the sheer effort that must go into creating a post like this. It might just look like a scanned in card, but those who know you will appreciate the huge amount of work here…

I’m glad that someone appreciates the artistic side of this blog 😀
plus, converting from one format to another, that’s like 4 clicks of the mouse, so I do feel like I put in a day’s work…

A wall is a creature?? Bonkers!

This is what confused me. I think maybe Ali Baba is the creature and it has the power to knock down walls (the other player’s defences). But it seems pretty obscure. We need a group play of Magik.

Sorry, everyone has their own deck and deals their own cards. No dealer needed. You could always watch and make smart remarks though, players always love that!

Next time post the wall creature card please!
LikeLiked by 1 person
Oh, you’ll be getting some of those, no worries.
if you look in the middle of the card, on the left, this one says “Summon Ali Baba”. When the creature is a wall it will say “Summon Wall”. Most of the walls are named something like “Wall of X” so you won’t be getting those for quite some time…

Do you have an order that you follow for these cards? Based on the art designs you like most? Absolutely random? 😀

I am showing them alphabetically right now. There is a number to each card, but it made trying to figure out which ones I had already done a complete chore, (the number is only in the online database, not on the actual card), so I chose to go alphabetically. Plus, that way the colors get all mixed up.
