Title: Magic Books
Post by: stefferweffer on October 18, 2010, 03:58:06 PM
Artifact
Upon activation, choose an evil brigade. Your magicians may use cards of that brigade for one turn.

"Also, many of those who had practiced magic brought their books together and burned them in the sight of all. And they counted up the value of them, and it totaled fifty thousand pieces of silver."  Acts 19:19

Thanks, I changed it, but does this language inherently imply that they can do this on their opponent's next turn?  I've always been confused on if "one turn" means just my turn, or one of mine + one of opponent's.

In this sense, it'd be one round.

Until your next upkeep would knock out any "timing" problems.

I don't see why you need the "for one turn" part, but other than that I love it.

because otherwise you could essentially make your magicians play every color. After 7 turns..

Would the effect really be cumulative? I would expect the artifact to reactivate during the art phase...
