how graphic can/should any images be? Would images of aborted fetuses or phalluses be pushing things too far?

Obama isn’t underpowered, he’s a frigging powerhouse! If you counter a spell you basically get the mana back, and unless your opponent can do 10 damage to you with every 5 spells he casts (and he really, really can’t), you’re going to gain life quicker than he can take it away. I dunno, the most I’d have done with him was given him an activated ability to plow that two mana into so that he doesn’t cause you mana burn by accident.

He can’t cause you mana burn by accident. You have the OPTION of gaining two blue mana.

Woohoo, MGK is doing what I want him to! How shall I abuse this power? I know, I’ll turn the site green.

Shit, it didn’t work.

Anyways: I like making my own, MGK, so what template do you use? I’ll just put URLs to them in the Email.

I don’t know enough about magic to really flesh out a card, but I have a few concepts:

Nuclear Power: High mana cost, gives mana a few turns after you play it (like drill for oil) and has an ability that blocks (or somehow mitigates) renewable energy.

Manliness: Enchantment with republican and bullshit traits, boosts red legendary creatures.

Bitch Slap Theory: media and bullshit traits, if you deal damage to the other player and they fail to damage you next turn, BST weakens all blue creatures. Alternately: Can only be played if you deal damage to other player etc., and gives all red creatures trample.

White and black overlap heavily.

Yeah, but you’ve got no way of knowing if your opponent is going to play another spell or not unless he’s tapped out or has an empty hand, so taking that blue mana or not becomes a game of chicken between you and the other guy, where you risk self-harm in order to prevent him from doing something that would hurt you worse. That’s not Obama’s style.

And we are now arguing the metagame of a fictional magic: the gathering expansion based on the elections. I’d feel shame if I was a better person.

Hey, that mana doesn’t have to go towards playing another counter. It could, for instance, go to playing cards with Flash or cards with activated abilities. For instance, if you had Hillary Clinton flipped to “Obama Supporter”, you could counter a spell and use the spare mana to draw cards. Or you could use the mana to cast a Rachael Maddow or a pair of Kossacks. Assuming you play outside Type 2, you could throw in some millstones or something and put Obama’s mana income to work. I can think of plenty of good uses for Obama’s two mana.

It’s funny, cause I was literally saying on Monday that the claim that Palin was a “gamechanger” because her crazy ass story knocked Obama, Hurrricaine Gustav, and John McCain out of the news, meant that Palin was basically playing “Wrath of God”.

I also noted you only play Wrath of God when you are losing!

Sarah Palin, Legendary Red Creature

Primary ability: Induce Panic

Opponent must discard entire hand, and restock it entirely with Bullshit cards from their deck. Until Sarah Palin is removed from the field, opponent must play nothing but Bullshit cards, and must play as many as possible in each round.
