So not quite a puppet-master spell? Just takes the target creature out of commission?

Correct. White isn’t as much about directly controlling creatures. That’s more a Blue thing.

All seems like dirty pool to me. I hate magic like this. The succubus seducer does it in the one video game I sometimes play and it just makes me want to shut things down.

Very infrequently. I sometimes do a run-through of Heroes of Might and Magic. That’s the only one I play. And chess online.

Luckily most white deck cards are cheap. So if played against a white deck I am sure the person would be able to afgord it. A black or green deck though? I’d be fuming lol

It can really shut down an opponents deck if they don’t have lots of extra mana 🙂

Mana. so you would have to basically decide if attacking your opponent was worth not being able to get another creature out on the field. It makes balancing your resources that much harder.

ah right. What’s mana? 😀

hahahaa. Sorry. I knew I was going to run into stuff like this when I started posting these. Mana is land. you can put one land onto the field each turn and each land produces one mana of the appropropriate color. So a “plains” produces one white mana.
Here’s a picture of a plains:

The quotes are fun! This one doesn’t necessarily refer to anyone in particular it seems. Are there cards where the monster/human says things and are now quoted by fans? 😀

There was a kind of fan, now known as a vorthos, who only cares about the lore of the game. These quotes were bread n butter to them 🙂
Most fans aren’t vorthos, thankfully!
