Yeah imo they needed a consistent system, eg. "For each ability on the card, replace one word in its ability text with its antonym -- choosing the word that would make the new ability most interesting, when considered in a vacuum." That's still not airtight of course, but I'd have liked it better than the arbitrary swapping they used.

[@Berehoth]

Think they were just affecting cards, but Chains of Methotophlies could lose either player the game as a state based action this way. Needing to draw your entire library because you weren't playing enough Magic.

[@VestigeX3]

chains of mephistopheles opposite’d roughly translates to “if a player would discard (except for the first card they discard in their cleanup phase) instead they draw then discard.” then the next line references “if they Don’t draw,” which could never happen

[@liorramati265]

There are all sorts of effects that can prevent the draw. Mostly by replacing it with something else, like Notion Thief

[@ilsignoredellaluce2234]

I think they didn't want to make things too complicated for the viewers, but just make that funny moment with the card. And given the vibe of this video i'm totally ok with that

[@bignickenergy3525]

Reverse lotus field should have been "return two lands from graveyard to battlefield" as thats the opposite of sacrificing

[@Tzizenorec]

I'd also want to remove its mana ability (or change it to something useless like "lose mana"), as gaining 2 lands is plenty good enough without getting the card's huge upside _as well._ Opposite-day cards should be good at the opposite thing from what they're usually good for; but Lotus Field simply had its downside turned into an upside.

[@franslair2199]

​@@Tzizenorecin that case every land would lose you mana, no?

[@Tzizenorec]

@@franslair2199 In principle, but since that breaks the game completely, we would need to think a bit and find a creative solution, or just leave basic lands alone.

[@Voidoath]

As always, the editing makes this an amazing watch. "Jamin CAN play creature spells" got a hearty cackle from me.

[@Kazutoification]

Chains of Mephistopheles seems to be straightforward. After a player's draw step, if they were to draw a card, they discard instead. After discarding by this effect, they are then allowed to draw a card. However, if they can't discard by this effect, then they mill one instead. So, opposite day Chains should be: "If a player were to discard a card, they draw a card instead. If a player draws a card by this effect, they must are then allowed to discard a card. However, if they cannot discard by this effect, they must return one card from their graveyard to the top of their library."

[@2LettersSho]

Simple, "they must are then allowed", thank you for clarifying :P

[@RealityMasterRogue]

exactly!

[@Welverin]

Seth doesn't understand how Chains works, so you can't expect him to figure out what the opposite of it is.

[@violet_broregarde]

Y'all could totally do an AI-moderated opposite day. Here's what Bing says about opposite-day Panharmonicon: "That sounds like a fun game! 😄 The opposite of “If an artifact or creature entering the battlefield causes a triggered ability of a permanent you control to trigger, that ability triggers an additional time.” could be something like: “If an artifact or creature leaving the battlefield causes a triggered ability of a permanent you don’t control to trigger, that ability doesn’t trigger at all.” This would mean that any effects that happen when an artifact or creature dies, is exiled, or is returned to hand would be negated for your opponents, while your own effects would still work normally. This could be very powerful in a game of Magic, especially if you have ways to sacrifice or bounce your own permanents for value."

Although this is really fun, there is no reason to use an AI when we have a perfectly functioning Seth-Bot :)
