Jace: Mill 20! and then mill 20 again next turn!
Elsbeth: Everything is indestructable!
Or what about the ones with a -X ability?

Tezzeret: +5 million counters, and I'll put a scourglass into play... or perhaps akroma's memorial...

Along with Niv-Mizzet, we have currently two Magic Cards with some sort of Leet Speak in total.
I'm not an adept leetspeaker, but i could eventually figure out what it reads:
<SPOILER*** "If you can read this, you are a monster geek"<SPOILER END***

Regarding playability, i agree with the precedant comments. This is a hell of a card with Planeswalkers.
Who needs Doubling Season or Gilder Bairn if he can have this?

The tricky part is arguing with your friends whether or not the costs on the arrows of a planeswalker cards are considered part of the spell's text or not. I might even rule no merely so this card isn't utterly broken. It doesn't even have tap in its cost!

But really, it shouldn't be able to attack or use abilities if your opponent has a Wall of Fire in play. ;)

If you can read this, you are a monster geek :)

Tanaka, agreed, totally. Also, Elspeth can go be a kill spell after she's done making your board indestructible XD
Anyway, it's totally, stupidly versatile, and quite probably stupidly broken, too :)

@Tanaka: Planeswalkers' Oracle texts have the + and - values (and the symbols themselves) in the textbox, so I guess rules as written this guy can effect them. Guess it comes down to houserules on this guy.

With this guy, I'd prefer to use Sorin Markov over and over, it's already a guaranteed win if you can cast him,unlike all the other planeswalkers with whom your enemy still has a chance of beating you

"If you can read this you are a monster geek."
Isn't everyone who plays this game a geek?

Holy freaking DAMN......this....actually makes Jace the Mind Sculptor EVEN MORE BROKEN!

DID NOT KNOW THAT WAS POSSIBLE! WHAT KIND OF DEMONIC SOULLESS EVIL DESIGNED THIS CARD?

If you use this with Jace and start exiling decks to gain 12 loyalty apiece....you WILL be murdered in your bed the next time you go to sleep. Jace is the most direct win. More efficient than Nicol Bolas, more savage than Karn, even more powerful than Sarkhan Vol because it's on color, and you need to keep paying U to keep the effect.

Even Sorin Markov could fall prey to a booby trap deck that uses some mad thing that doesn't require the opponent to keep control of their own will to work--some of kind of suicidal 'automatically destroy everyone including myself' deck. Jace just throws your whole deck in the garbage and doesn't allow for a single threat to slip by. Counter target deck. Counter target hand. You win.

@Twigster: If you're doing that, you may as well drop a Gleemax into play.

A better combo is with Devoted Druid, which gives you infinite mana and infinite power and toughness.

SARKHAN THE MAD HOLY SHIT

@CuriousThing: I don't think that works since the text box of the Colossus just says "infect" with no reminder text of any kind.

I would love for the next unset to refer to this with a V mask.

Any planeswalker. Death shadow not so much, as it still cannot hit the field unless your at 12 or less life.

"If you can read this, you are a monster geek."

I'm pretty sure this wasn't referring to the flavor text specifically, but simply that you are looking up Unglued Magic cards online.
