    Should have called it "Redact" and saved cleave for trample but to non-blocking creatures.

    • @Kahadi

      "Trample but to non-blocking creatures"
      So... "if this creature's power is greater than the combined toughness of all creatures not blocking it, deal the difference in combat damage"? I'm not sure at all how that would work...
      I do agree that Cleave doesn't feel like the best keyword, but I don't see Redacted as being better, feeling more like an "Un" set keyword. Maybe... "Simplify"? Or "Conjuncture", with the idea being that you decided on a different spell at the last moment?

      @@Kahadi 'If this creature deals damage greater than all blocking creatures' toughness, deal damage equal to the difference to target non-blocking creature." Pretty much every other game uses cleave to mean either splash damage or armor piercing, so it seems weird to use it the way MTG is using it.
      And I do like simplify better, redacted would be a great Orzhov keyword though. For Innistrad flavour, maybe instead of cleave you could lean into like an amnesia flavour for it, and go with something like "Rend," "Tear," "Obliviate," "Obscure," "Remove," or maybe "Entropy," with the Eldrazi/Praetor stuff? The point being, cleave feels like a misnomer.

      @@Kahadi Imagine a cleave creature as we described, but with deathtouch. Force the opponent to block all of it, none of it, or you can bolt their best creature and instagib it with deathtouch damage. Seems like a rich design space, especially when you add in existing effects like those which trigger on creatures that have been dealt damage this turn or equipment abilities which trigger when a creature deals damage to an opponent. @goodmorningmagic

      In Mark Rosewater's famous 20 lessons in 20 years he talks about how flying is a perfect keyword because everyone gets it right away due to prior knowledge. I think cleave goes against this philosophy. I felt the same about day/nightbound, that it was counter intuitive, because when I think Xbound I'm not imagining they are bound/trapped in X, but heading toward X (homeward bound).

    • @Oopsall
      @Oopsall 3 ปีที่แล้ว +4

      That just means whether or not you can target stuff. It'd be worded really weirdly if they tried to make it with cleave.

    • @Kahadi
      @Kahadi 3 ปีที่แล้ว +7

      That wouldn't work. Technically the main effect would be "return all target non-land permanents to their owner's hand", and "all target" isn't how they word things for a single target (even multiple target effects tend to have different wording).
      Maybe if the guess of cleave sometimes being the cheaper option is right, there might be "Return all permanents [you don't control] to their owner's hand". Higher main cost to not include your stuff, lower cleave cost because your stuff is returned as well.

    • @chezpizza3869

    Introducing the BORKle mechanic!
    BORKle: you may cast this card for the BORKle cost by sacrificing a card with a prime card number in addition to its cost. Then, remove any text in brackets but choose an effect from parenthesis, then roll a dice and if you roll even, add an ampersand somewhere in the text. If odd, add a period to make a complete sentence on the card. Then, on any vowel, add a tilde to it and pronounce it with gusto or else counter this card!

  • @shapooopiefour7173
    @shapooopiefour7173 3 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    Cleave is just Kicker with fancy brackets. For example:
    Wash Up {U}
    Kicker {1}{U}
    Counter target spell that wasn’t cast from it’s owner’s hand. If this spell was kicked, counter target spell instead.
    This only changes if the mana cost is not in the cleave cost, which I haven’t seen an example

    Cleave (1): Split or sever (something), especially along a natural line or grain.
    Cleave (2): Stick fast to.
    Magic has a habit of making mechanics meet the definition of the word they are named after, but it's not immediately obvious to me the connection between "Cleave (1)" and "Remove certain text" (there's no way Cleave (2) is what they had in mind) I guess Cleave (1) does remove material, but it splits the material, not eliminate it. maybe I'm missing something, but I don't think it should be called "Cleave." Could someone help me out here?
    The mechanic itself looks pretty neat, though, I'll give it that.

    I wish that Wizards would put out more cards of mechanics introduced in the past each set instead of constantly making 2-4 new mechanics each set then never touch those mechanics again on later sets! So many mechanics ie Companion, mutate, splice, morph, and others never see another set after their debut set so to speak! They just make so many new mechanics each set then they collect dust never making new cards with the same mechanic again! However this mechanic in general sounds like a good one, but like others say I think it could use a different name.

    I think this card is definitely useful, but I don't see why it wouldn't be budget friendly. Yeah the cards could be played a lot, but they are also incredibly cheap. Combining these two cards into one is cool, but this effect isnt ground shattering amazing to where its gonna be a 10 dollar card or something.

    they should just call it Kicker, and say if you pay the kicker cost the brackets dont get used since Kicker is a completely open mechanic.....

    Seems like they could have picked a better use case for cleave. This is basically diabolic tutor with basic landcycling.

    I'd be shocked if this card was more than $5... It's a bad tutor in black or an okay ramp spell in green...

    Love this mechanic to a stupid degree. Guessing this card settles at $3-7 after people realize that it's a modal tutor, but 4 mana is 4 mana.

    This just feels like Kicker with extra steps but less text, and the name feels weird
    Not the biggest fan, but nontheless, new mechanic
