The Line of Life and Death

[God Of Gore]

When The Line of Life and Death come into play,both players pay X and put X shatter counters on it.

When the Line of Life and Death is broken,both players return creatures from thier graveyards to play with total converted mana costs equal to or less than X.



Don't you love the concept of this one? It comes out then the effect basically, it tears a rift in another dimension and the dead live again!

I don't think many players want to break a card

Everytime I open a God Of Gore create-a-card, it's like opening a present at Christmas.

What exactly is "broken" in this context? If we're looking at a "put into a graveyard from play"-esque effect, then this is drastically overcosted.

[WingedNightmare]

Drak, re-read, I think he made a mistake and put "Broken" as part of the cardtext instead of "destroyed" or "removed from play".

Harmas was picking on him about that LOL

[Drakonis Mage]

I realize that, but it's entirely possible that he was intending it to be part of another mechanic. Or perhaps that's too much credit.

Regardless, X needs to be set to the number of whatever counters in the triggered ability.

Do you guys realize that this is basically an enchantment variant of Protean Hulk? Though, its graveyard effect is not limited to total converted mana costs of 6, and it affects both players, but it does open up more possibilities of combos.

And yes, I seriously hope that the word broken on the cardtext above is destroyed or put into a graveyard from play or else it is impossible to play this card(if it is actually printed).

Regardless, X needs to be set to the number of whatever counters in the triggered ability.

I think that from the way it is worded X is the number of shatter counters on it though its wording for its 2nd ability could be made clearer that X is actually the number of shatter counters on it when the card is umph *broken* though.

[Drakonis Mage]

Actually it isn't. X has two separate iterations on the card, and the two aren't related because X isn't set until an ability/spell is put onto the stack, so the first X has nothing to do with the second X.
