Thank you, yes: I will make this into my new EDH deck. No, you're welcome.

In the article, it says detention sphere doesn't work on council, I think it does, when it exiles the ghost council, the council won't be able to use its your-end-phase blink ability, and it remains exile until the sphere is gone.

That's true, but you'd have to find a way to flash in the Sphere.  Obzedat won't be sticking around during your turn.

EDIT: I decided I was being too whiny. I should just be dad Ghost Dad's back.

Love Obzedat's art. While I still favor Ghost Council, that's not a mark against the new version; they portray the same subject (Scheming mafia heads) in two very different ways, and both approaches are cool.

I feel the writing is trying too hard to make the card look awesome. I mean, it IS very strong and will be played, but lines such as

For five mana, you get a 5/5. All right, that's already looking interesting.



are kind of too much because those stats on an easier to cast creature that costs 1 less and has a huge upside still do not make constructed playable creatures in these days of mad creature power creep. A 5/5 for 1AABB is actually downright terrible these days.

We get it that it's very powerful (I hope most do), but when you exaggerate it looks as if you're overhyping it.

Okay, here is the clincher. I've been waiting to say this.

The "cam girl" this was inspired by was just a girl from a social networking website, Stickam. Her name was TinyTerror and she was just a regular girl who was on her webcam, totally unrelated to any type of adult content.

I hope you all feel really smart now.

This is like someone coming into class with a bloody nose and everyone's like "Jeez what happened to you" and they're like "I ran into a wall" and everyone laughs at them for being an idiot but then at the end of the class they say "HAHA JUST KIDDING I PUNCHED MYSELF IN THE FACE!!!!!! TALK ABOUT OWNED HAHAHAHAHA"

I really enjoy imagining this from Kevin's perspective. Because in Kevin's world, Rosewater actually reads everything he types. Mark is sitting there right now, reading this, and thinking "The greatest trick the devil ever pulled. . ." Or some such. He chuckles low, then clicks on "The Best Of KEVINSET" and says "Yes, this'll do just fine. A busty lady with banding who deals direct damage to Zones!? Why this will be the star of my next set, and no one will ever believe you Kevin." Then he closes his Macbook, so his servant may move it out of the way, while another servant puts a Fetal Richard Garfield Clone lathered in Steak Sauce in front of him. Then Mark Feasts.


Sorin walked into the chamber where his newly wed bride, Vampy, awaited. A beam of moonlight illuminated his brilliant silver hair as he strode with confidence towards the bed. His shirtless body showcased his powerful abdominal muscles and he was wearing jeans with holes in the knees.

You just had to say something, didn't you? That'll make you the first to be sacrificed to the new Ghost Council.
