EOT I'll remove a charge counter from the Jitte to kill the Prodigal Sorcerer.

Untap, draw, and then assuming you haven't done anything that saves the Sorcerer, I'll attack with the Pony. Responses?

other than I hate that bauble (now I'm calling it a bauble.... what will I call it next... other than the death of me....) that thing had to be the bomb in limited...
 

Oversoul

I could REALLY have you on the ropes if I'd drawn some white mana. But yeah, this Jitte thing is clearly ridiculous.

Done after the attack.

Yeah... I haven't counted creatures in this deck, but I have a feeling there aren't nearly enough to deal with that thing... if it only added 1 counter it wouldn't be "as" broken... but 2 counters every turn is sick - and it's whether it damages a creature or a player.... Then, you can use it after it's just equipment laying around to gain life or kill stuff... that's just nuts...

Untap, Draw, Play Island, Play Tradewind Rider (fodder - like everything else in here now....) and to think I really liked this deck.... one disk and one bauble send it home crying to mama...

whoops, updating the board...

I posted a play yesterday and reposted it again just now when I saw that it hadn't shown up, but it still refused to show up. I don't know what happened.

Bow down before the mighty fork!

(this is why we banned Jitte in our playgroup; even in sealed and draft :) )

You've had this problem before, right Oversoul? It sounds like you don't have a good connection to the site; the data you're transmitting isn't reaching it. Beats me why though...

Um............. you guys want any pretzels?

No.... a disenchant would be nice though...

Oh, the No was to the pretzels... I'll waste my rider as a chump blocker to the stupid toy...

Spidey: I'm not really sure. Both times I pushed the "quote" button on one of the posts and after seeing that it failed to turn up the second time, I posted a test quick reply to see if it was working, then went back and pasted the text I wanted into an edit post. But I think I was able to quote another post in a different thread this morning without a problem...

Ransac: I'll make YOU a pretzel if you touch my connection!

BigBlue: I'll pull two counters from the Jitte to pump up the Pony and kill the Tradewind Rider (of course). Done after that.

Before this game, I'd always assumed that Jitte only got more counters if the combat damage was to a player. I read the card, but I just assumed it would be that way because adding counters whenever an equipped creature did any combat damage would be too good. Now I'm really wondering what they were thinking, since all the other cards I've seen from Betrayers of Kamigawa have been underpowered or balanced and you don't even need to playtest to see how ridiculous this card is. It's no Skullclamp, but still...
