[[Divine Visitation]] + [[Orphiomancer]] is basically that skit from the Good Place where Janet keeps making cactuses...

"Is it a snake this time?"
"Yep!"
"And not an angel?"
"It is absolutely not an angel."
"Are you sure it's a snake and not an angel?"
"I am positive it's a snake and not an angel."
"OK, give me the snake."

*4/4 Angel token with flying*

OK, #mtg Arena is just confusing me. I don't know why [[Feast of the Victorious Dead]] doesn't see triggers from the tokens created by Mobilize getting sacrificed at the beginning of the end step. Both Feast and Mobilize go on the stack at the beginning of the end step, and my understanding was that when two things go on at the same time, you get to pick the order that's most favorable to you?

I’m currently reminded that there is no game I am happier to no longer play than #MtG. The game I played yonks ago just isn’t present in a world where winning decks can be disseminated as easily as they can now.

Insider trading is illegal, is corrupt, is what they said about Washigton DC... right.
So deport MTG to El Salvador !

@jonathankoren @Talen_Lee @maywecomein That misses my point. What I was saying is, there is some precedent for an effect looking at whether something else in the game uses X, and that suggests a possible avenue for treating "+1/+1 for each" different from "+X/+X". This argument does not care whether X is a mana cost or something else.

It is true that as far as I know, X has never been referenced this way when it was anything other than a mana cost - but that doesn't mean it couldn't be.
