So, I enter A, C and D in the competition, and have B not an entry?

i think she's saying you can enter A, B, and C, or A, B, and D.

i seriously love this card. it's quite powerful, but you have to sit back and take a beating to use it so i don't really think it's OP. i think people thinking up ways where you can actually stall long enough to use it are just showing ways of using it effectively, and not showing how OP it is. i do have one small criticism. i think that the upped version might need a slight cost increase. if it were to be added to the game, the added effect of a card per turn would almost certainly be the biggest jump in power from unupped to upped in the game.

It still doesn't give you the right to rip them off.

i've never seen the set that this card came from. i stopped playing magic when i got to college five years ago. i didn't rip them off, and i'm not going to cross reference every one of my ideas against every mtg card just to make sure i'm being original.

have you seen the "the simpsons already did it" south park episode?

5 cost for 9 damage? Either up the cost or lower the attack.

you have to sac a creature to have it enter play. the cost of two physical cards, and the cost to put the previous card into play is included in the cost. 5 for 9 is completely reasonable in this scenario. i'm not going to nerf this card out of existence.

mtg has made over 10,000 cards. you can most likely find a magic analog for every card ever posted on this board.

THE CARD HAS BEEN UPDATED IN OP
ability cost has been increased, and HP reduced.

discussion up to this point has been over this version:

It would be more balanced if you took out the ability part (devour)?

btw did you give her a boob job?   

i reduced the HP so as to make the synergy with devour less scary.

and yes, i moved them to her stomach. much better i think.

Use it on a oty/scarab, and you get a 9 HP devourer that can devour for free. FFQ is pretty OP as well. But the worst would be a buffed leaf dragon... infinite  for free? Pretty OP if you ask me.

hm, didn't think about leaf dragon. you really can't do too much damage with a lot of life quanta, but i'm not fan of infinite combos. i'll increase the cost to 1 .

Maybe I'm just used to the basic/special thing 'cause I play Pokemon, but I thought it was rather obvious that this was special and thus bound by normal card limit.

it's obvious because he said it. the card does not imply it. if you can include more than six quantum pillars, there is no reason one wouldn't think the same for this card.
