Players can't play spells or activated abilities during the end of turn phase.

amazing. I love how such a simple card can be so amazing. However players can just play spells at the end of the main phase. You could make it so you could if it was your turn, although then you would need it to cost a lot more since you would have a time of your turn were your opponent wouldn't be able to respond.

[clustro]

eh
they'll just play it at the end of main phase 2.
it doesnt really change anything.

or after the end of turn phase, need to make it so it can hose High Tide.dec ^_^

[Harmas]

I like your flavourtext in the secret place more though

with this comment, i meant to say that the rest of the card is perfect... xcept for the end of turn step... not phase.. is it?

I thought Solidarity went off in the opponent's upkeep because of Reset.

[wildfire393]

No mate, reset can only be played AFTER the opponent's upkeep. So drawstep generally. Or in response to them casting persecute.

[Pigmy wurm]

Solidarity goes off whenever Solidarity feals like it, usualy in responce to almost loosing the game. Man that deck will hate suspend (well if there are actualy suspend cards that would effect it).

Yeah I know. I do too. But I usually alter some flavortext to make them smooth - not everybody has an open mind. Anyway, you could always go to the "secret place" to see the cards in all their original form. :)

I thought so too, but I checked the official rules and it said "End Phase" so I went ahead with it.

The main idea behind this card is to force your opponent to actually play spells during their main phase - something blue mages won't be quite willing to do. At the very least, you won't hear the "end of your turn, I do something bad for you..." line from your opponents.

Huh. I guess I can't read Legends cards because no one cares about 85% of them, and the other 15% I don't care much about anyways.

[who is the pilot]

the name reminds me of a great tom waits album. . .anything that reminds me of tom waits is ok in my book. . .

but as clustro said, the idea is elegant, but it seems like it's too easy to play around. . .

i had a blue kind-of counterpart to this:

alpha waves :u:
enchantment
spells you play at the end of turns cost you :1: less to play.

not to plug my own card, just saying it's cool to see someone else using the end of turn phase to come up with new ideas. . .

[Silverdawn Banisher]

I actually got the name from a song of the band Semisonic. And it's very fitting too.

[Risky]

Spells and activated abilities please. Not allowing triggered abilities to be played will complicate matters far too much.

Thanks for pointing that out. It has been corrected.
