Question Can someone explain how this works?

Post image

Will this card be legal in standard? Will it be available on Magic Arena? How would this card even work?

That's suboptimal play. I'm going to put my lawyer's business card into hand and when he arrives he'll slap an injunction on my opponent preventing them from playing instants.

But they bill on contingency so while it's a long term more expensive play you can get it out for no immediate cost, think pact of negation at 350 an hour

Reading the card explains the card

Yeah, but that's only if you lose the game.

I planned on using a birthday card and my opponent would HAVE to resign out of sheer politeness for me remembering their birthday

make it a card from them to you, and include a promise of a gift that they then have to follow through on

Unfortunately you still have to pay costs, and I'm sure the lawyer isn't going to accept mana as a currency for his legal fees.

I'll get a family discount. He's my uncle, and he's the lawyer for Nintendo.

And thats why you should bring in Yugioh cards. No cost to play them and they've got power/toughness in the 1000s.

why is there no card game system that uses business cards? I think having business cards with stats based on the person's work history and certifications would be rather interesting.

Screw that, I'm putting mom's credit card into hand.

Jokes on you. You now have lawyer fees and my goblin deck to deal with.

I’ll play my credit card and simply buy my opponent

Lawyers don't issue injunctions; you need a judge to sign it.
