Parallel Universe + Reverse Time

[Bloodshadow]

When Parallel Universe is used, it BECOMES the target creature. It's not a special status like poison or freeze. That's why when RT'd, it will still be a creature.

Bob is right. This is intentional, and is actually a decent strategy that some people employ with Fallen Elves and Eternity.

On a completely irrevelant note, his name is not Bob. He is a Polish person and his name is Minnakht. Refer to Kongregate.

...er, no. I mean, you made a Devonian Dragon and the time was reversed on Your Devonian Dragon so it's only natural you draw a Devonian Dragon.

Feature, not a bug. NEXT!

Let's say I cast Parallel Universe to copy my opponent's Devonian Dragon.  Then my opponent casts Reverse Time on my copy, sending it to the top of my deck.  The next turn, I will draw... a Devonian Dragon.

I'm not sure if this is intentional, but it seems like it shouldn't be.  If a Reverse-Time'd creature loses any bonuses and skills it received while in play, then shouldn't it also revert to its original card type when it goes back into my deck?

[elbruce]

Well I mean, when it leaves play, it loses any extra stuff that was done to it - infection, freeze, blessing and so forth.  But it doesn't revert to the "card" that it actually is.  That seems inconsistent.  It's not like it's still a Devonian Dragon when the game is over.

Although now that I think about it, PU is a badazz card, possibly too much so.  There should probably be something of a downside to copying your opponent's critters if you don't have the quanta to play them again should you need to.

Really don't care what his name is. On here, it's bobcamal, so I will call him Bob, period.

More accurately, TU puts a copy of the targeted creature in play. This copy has all status effects and buffs as the original, and since you get a copy of the creature, when it is Rewound, it'll go back to the top of the deck just like any other creature.

Can someone please explain the problem to me? I see none whatsoever.

[Celidion]

Oh okay, I though it was fairly obvious because it's a spell, ( or an instant ) thus can only be used once.

OP was wondering why a creature that was TUed and then RTed didn't turn back into a TU when you redrew it because, to him/her, the spell TU was something that when put into play would become a copy of the creature it targeted, and that since it was still technically a TU that was transformed, it would revert back upon being RTed.

I think another valid point to bring up is that mutants don't revert to their original creatures either when RTed, they stay the creature they were turned into, but without the badass mutant ability.
