I'd have liked this more as one-drop, given that i'd preferably play this with tokens and creatures with a converted cost of 2, therefore chosing even.

Ma.ss hysteria but only on cmc creatures? I don't really see why this would be good.

Kismet on evens, haste on odds. or viceversa. Very handy.

This is such a kind of card which is so unique that I can't give it a low rating.

Does this really have reminder text saying zero is even?

Having two of these out, one that you chose even for and one that you chose odd for, and having an amulet of vigor out at the same time is pretty fun.

so, wrex, you'd spend 5 mana and 3 cards just to give all your creatures haste....

Crabotage: Absolutely. Try asking some people. About half will be sure. The other would either guess or be wrong.

@catowner Actually it's much more interesting than just giving your guys haste. You keep your opponent from having a ready blocker, since all his creatures will come into play tapped, and you untap one of your creatures with haste as it comes into play. With more than one amulet, you can tap the creature again before the second trigger, to use an ability more than once in the turn you play the creature, or even attack with it after you've used the ability. You can also skip the Amulet, and play with some untappers.
Sometime I'll have to build a deck around it. Seems choosing odds would best fit the curve. with 2 and four mana spells to assist you. I've always been curious how much it might affect,as it seems a bit luck based. EG. Oh man, baneslayer.

@ Crabotage & Shiny_Umbreon. I'm a Mathematician and, yes, that clarification is needed. Zero technically has no value. It serves only as a placeholder, and seeing as how many of the mentally elite play MTG, I can understand the room for confusion.

Oh god, the artwork, the flavor, it all pieces together perfectly for me, and it's damn funny.

No one ever saying "I'm a mathematician" on the Gatherer should be trusted.
Beekhead...not sure if legit.
This whole debate kind of depends on how we define even. If we use the concept of congruence to zero modulo two as the basis for "evenness", then zero is obviously (with "obviously" being a relative term) even.
Really, only in the most pure sense is Zero's evenness questionable, in practice, it is fairly consistently the case that it is.
That said, I am a fan of this card. I like the word "Prerogative". And it has some wonky effects when used agains a normally curved deck, so that's a plus.

@Cat- Don't forget he also bought his opp's creatures coming into play tapped as part of the deal. It's not bad thinking, really.
Cool card and an obvious dream come true for the Royal Assassin!

@mynameis832: 0.5 is neither odd nor even, so your Little Girl won't come into play tapped or have haste.
