We've been acting fairly Blue so far so may as well go for that as our primary color. That being said all the colors have awesome perks so there's no real wrong choice here.
 
I'd be nice if we could dual-color or tri-color or prismatic. I mean, then we'd be the first Prismatic Planeswalker in MtG, right? (Correct me if I'm mistaken..)

to clarify (again), we're not a plainswalker. not yet, and quite possibly not for a very long time.
 
Prismatic is... kind of a big deal. Like, 15 total in the game I think? Most of which are legendary.

Although admittedly the four color combos are even rarer, and that doesn't make a ton of sense, so it's probably viable as a long term goal.

4-color is rare for OOC reasons - They're hard to design for. Having drafted up 4-color cards, I can attest to that. It's not totally impossible, just hard.
 
Surprisingly, five color may be easier, since they have a balance of all of the colors. Although I've never tried so don't listen to me. And the only 5 color card I know of is that Legendary 10 headed giant serpent. 2 mana of each color to summon I think. So, I'm probably wrong.

SV ALWAYS nominally goes for blue or white personalities, while voting to poke any mystery box and pick up any shiny penny that presents itself. I'd rather see someone who's as impulsive IC as the players will make her act.
 
I'm going to be shocked if she isn't secretly a bunnycat.

She's totally a golem, controlled remotely by an incubator. Or she's been indoctrinated by one. Or everything she said was a knowing lie. Or she's not actually a magical girl or an incubator, and is someone from the MtG side of things who can convincingly fake it. Or she's just a really competent actress and has no real powers (lying on the internet is a thing).

All too often, they can be found near the corpses of girls who could have become magical girls prior to their death."
"Prior" and "Could" are relative terms. For example I am an adult. prior to my death I could have become an adult. Just because I became an adult doesn't change that. Therefore prior to their death the girls could have become Magical Girls. Even once they became Magical Girls that statement was still true.
 
Interlude: Sigil of Light
Emilia waited impatiently for the stupid witch to finally die. Its familiars had been systematically hunted down and exterminated. It was surrounded by her wards. Its attacks were useless. It could barely move. And yet, for some idiotic reason, it was just sitting and staring blankly ahead. Most witches would be trying to rush ahead and eat her.

Emilia's wards were defensive and she didn't really have enough practice with a quarterstaff to feel comfortable using it for anything but the elimination of familiars. If the stupid witch wouldn't attack, her wards couldn't damage it. If they couldn't damage it, Emilia was going to be stuck here pretty much indefinitely.

Emilia was supposed to have backup, but everyone else had left to deal with a serious witch infestation in Tokyo. Some idiot had neglected to kill the familiars of each witch they killed, thus letting the familiars multiply exponentially without any interference. The city had almost needed to be evacuated.

That was two weeks ago. The denizens of MGN had mostly managed to deal with the problem in the time since, but Emilia still didn't expect her team to return for another few days. It was always best to tend toward overkill when dealing with witches.

Emilia returned her attention to the outside world as the annoying lightbulb-witch decided to get on with it and lunge for her throat. By the time it had went across half her wards, it had been blasted with fire, shocked with electricity, drenched in acid, and frozen. Emilia was pretty sure it had been dead long before it reached the final set and had the force of its own charge reflected back at it. Still, better too much power than too little.

Tapping her foot impatiently, Emilia ignored reality unraveling around her in favor of catching the witch's grief seed. As soon as the real world reestablished itself, she bolted out of the factory where the witch's barrier had been located. That had taken far, far too long.

One of her normal friends, Haru, had been approached by Kyubey a few days ago. Haru wasn't exactly the sharpest knife in the drawer, but she meant well and Emilia was always glad when new magical girls decided to join up. There were never enough to go around. Unfortunately, it really wouldn't surprise Emilia if Haru left the safety of her home in order to grab a snack or something else equally stupid. Until she contracted, Emilia really didn't like letting her out of sight. Unfortunately, patrols were necessary to prevent witches from slaughtering unsuspecting norms.


Several minutes later, Emilia unlocked the door of Haru's home and headed inside. Cars were vastly overrated; when you're a magical girl, all you need are stable rooftops.

"Haru?" she called. "I'm back. Did you decide on what to wish for yet?"

No response was forthcoming.

...She did it, didn't she? She went out for a snack. God damn it, Haru!

...No, that wasn't quite fair. For all Emilia knew, Haru could just be napping. It wasn't like she bothered to keep a normal day/night schedule. Just to be certain, Emilia headed over to Haru's room and opened the door. As (somewhat) expected, Haru was, in fact, lying in bed.

Her condition, on the other hand, was completely unanticipated. Haru was staring blankly ahead, her face a mask of despair stained with tears: the sign of a potential magical girl who had been targeted by a witch. She was already dead.

Emilia stood in a state of horrified disbelief for several seconds before sending out a magical ping to ensure that her wards were still intact. The unmistakable signature of a witch was reflected back at her from further inside Haru's apartment.

Not only that, but Emilia's wards were untouched, unharmed. The witch had ghosted right through them like they weren't even there. They weren't enough. They should have been enough. Her wards were absolute when used on somebody's home. Even teleporters couldn't get inside if they weren't welcome. Haru should have been safe. Why wasn't she safe? Why wasn't she safe?

Yep, made a wish too far outside of her Potential and insta-witched. Or witched after the fact if she somehow discovered one of the Bombs.

If she made a wish outside her potential and insta-witched, wouldn't she be dead, not marked? I assumed QB simply went FUCK YOUR WARDS I'M AN ALIEN and ported a witch in to get veteran magical girl entropybucks.

Or:

Incubator walks into the house, because the wards keep out those who aren't wanted and Kyubey is supposed to be going into the house to talk Haru into contracting.

Contracts her, and then insta witches her like in Rebellion or by dropping bombs on her and needling her.

Free witch!

This sounds less like someone who got ganked and more like someone who got lichbombed and witchbombed in short succession, personally.

Edit: The takeaway is that holding out against contracting probably has some severe downsides, regardless of who or what is targeting potentials. Ignorance stopped being safe for us when the masquerade broke.

QB gains free energy.
Girls are more likely to contract if they think they are in danger
They are more likely to despair if they think that witches can get at them anywhere.

That's why I was saying, just above the newest QM post, that I think that when QB said "potential before they died" that he was saying "at some point in their life, even if they became a Magical Girl some time before they died, they had the potential to become a Magical Girl." He never said that the one's who died weren't Magical Girls when they died.
 
Huh? I don't see anything about being marked.
Thi...

Huh. I read that as her not being dead for some reason.

Okay, why isn't there a Soul Gem? Or gem dust? Does it just disappear when someone witches?
