Since this hadn't been brought up, I'll just add that this is covered in the comprehensive rules as follows:

303.4j If an effect attempts to attach an Aura on the battlefield to an object or player it can’t legally enchant, the Aura doesn’t move.

And since Animate Dead can only enchant the creature it brought back to the field, that creature is the only permanent it can legally target, hence the gatherer ruling quoted previously.

Here are a few additions you might want to consider?
First off, is there a reason you're not including more Landfall? Some good and cheap options would include Lotus Cobra (a must, imo), Territorial Scythecat, Undergrowth Champion and even Avenger of Zendikar isn't all that expensive I think.

Scryb Ranger and Quirion Ranger are two additions you should definitely try to find: tap a forest to play either, use their ability to return themself to hand and untap the forest, and you can then tap that forest again to replay and repeat as often as you want. You get an infinite number of Landfall triggers and, if your forest has been enchanted with Gift of Paradise or Nature's Embrace, you can even make infinite mana (although I'm not sure what you could use that mana for). Tireless Provisioner could be of use here, since you could use those landfall triggers to generate clues and therefore draw all the cards you need...

Fest of Succession has just been added to the list of available mats in the current campaign, following a second round of backers voting for a piece to be added to the list. Third round of voting is just about to start, so anyone interested in getting in print or on a mat one of the remaining unused pieces of art should definitely back this project now...

Seb McKinnon Art
With the new kickstarter now up ( https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/help-seb-make-movie/seb-mckinnon-magic-the-gathering-playmats-limited-edition-4 ), I've added a new category to the list and will keep it up to date as older art gets added to the list of available mats.
Not sure which art I'd like to be made available as a mat, truth be told, as there are already too many I had to pass on just because I couldn't afford all the ones I wanted...

• a card that lets you use a creature’s toughness to perform an action normally using a creature’s power

I have to assume this is actually a way to use Toughness to crew vehicles (or a specific vehicle) rather than Power...

Well, looks like I wasn’t far off...

Giant Ox - {1}{W}
Creature - Ox
You may use Giant Ox’s Toughness to crew Vehicles rather than its power.
0/6

So 6 power to crew vehicles, for 2, could be decent I guess if you have appropriate vehicles to crew...

*Hope uploading pics taken off MTGGoldfish is alright?

Just an overall feels-bad from me.

I get the feeling it won’t be long before she gets banned in Commander. As you said, the fact that she can be commander and has such an overpowering, feel-bad impact on a game (especially if you have Mindslicer and a sac outlet already out) is bound to lead to sour play.

Unless the translation we’ve seen above is inaccurate...

This is either fighting with toughness, or just a Doran the Siege Tower effect.

About Deckstats / Re: New: Specify the set of your cards!

« on: October 07, 2020, 03:45:39 am »

Is there any way the Magic Premiere Shop sets could be added to the list of sets? For some reason, the Scryfall MPS set codes don't seem to work on here (for example PMPS11) and I'm unable to find any of the corresponding lands sifting through all the available sets...

+Edit: Or maybe someone knows why I can’t find them? Are they named differently here? Filtered out by Scyfall’s API or by Deckstats maybe? Is it because their text is in Japanese?

I wish they were to release two versions, not just Foil /Non-Foil, but rather a set with AMC’s TV series inspired art as previewed, and another with art from or inspired by the comics instead

General Magic / Re: WotC bans racist cards

« on: July 03, 2020, 02:17:36 pm »

I'm sincerely asking if the reference were to ku klux clan. Please, understand that the world doesn't end beyond USA borders.
In Italy we didn't have the ku klux clan, not everybody knows about it (and banning this card doesn't help explaining anything).

Seriously, one doesn’t have to be born in the US to know what the KKK looked like and what their modus operandi was. The intentions of the artist might not (apparently) have been to reference the racist organisation, but the combination of the name of the card and the art makes the link more than obvious.

As for the other cards, you’re entitled to disagree, but in some of those cases you seem to be purposefully ignoring why there are issues with the card or going out of your way to find excuses.

I don’t like making such extreme comparisons, but I’ll just make one warning: be careful, even when your intentions aren’t inherently racist, your actions or your words can be. The revisionist stance is racist* and antisemitic even though its adherents might not explicitly state anything else outrightly racist. Defending acts of bigotry is arguably just as bad as practicing them because it validates and encourages them.

* there is one human race. Racism refers to acts of bigotry targeting one or kore specific culture(s) and has no basis on so-called race...
