Title: I think Krark's Other Thumb/Sword of Dungeons and Dragons should be turn legal.
Post by: Jesterskull on December 26, 2023, 01:50:35 am
Number 1 Reason = Mr. House, President and CEO (https://cards.deckstats.net/magiccard.php?utf8=1&lng=en&card=Mr.+House%2C+President+and+CEO) decks

Krark's Other Thumb (https://cards.deckstats.net/magiccard.php?utf8=1&lng=en&card=Krark%27s+Other+Thumb) and Sword of Dungeons and Dragons (https://cards.deckstats.net/magiccard.php?utf8=1&lng=en&card=Dragons) help that the Mardu dice roll mechanics.

I don't see why they shouldn't.

Already see some playgroups just accept them in Mr. House decks already.

Feels like this is an easy fix for the "rest".

The problem with Sword of Dungeons & Dragons (https://cards.deckstats.net/magiccard.php?utf8=1&lng=en&card=Dragons) is that it creates a gold Dragon token, as in its color is actually "gold" not shorthand for multicolored. Gold, like pink and “That dreamy shade of blue found only in the sky on a perfect afternoon… and in your eyes”, is not an actual color in Magic outside of Unset games.

Krark's Other Thumb (https://cards.deckstats.net/magiccard.php?utf8=1&lng=en&card=Krark%27s+Other+Thumb), on the other hand, is pretty reasonable to rule 0 in. My group lets me use it in my Delina, Wild Mage (https://cards.deckstats.net/magiccard.php?utf8=1&lng=en&card=Delina%2C+Wild+Mage) deck.

I am sure they could make a new ruling about the term of Gold Cards.

It would likely make it easier for future "Multicolored" cards.

Then again..... maybe they make a new legal D20 "Sword of" for Fallout. Like Sword of "Dragonborns" and "Dwellers"

They are legal, as long as the people you play with don't mind.  This is, first and foremost, a game.  If everyone is having fun and enjoying themselves, you can play any card you want.  If you can figure out how to make a Pikachu or a Red Eyes Black Dragon (https://cards.deckstats.net/magiccard.php?utf8=1&lng=en&card=Black+Dragon) work, and the people you play with don't mind, by all means play them.  I'd be down for the other thumb and the D&D Sword at my table, and so would most people I've played against.
