The only thing the game rules use it for is to determine whether a creature dies (i.e. has more damage on it than its toughness) and in your case you don't want that to happen anyway. I prefer your original template, plus maybe some reminder text to make clear that it includes lethal damage and 0 or less toughness.lpaulsenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07772860908442278112noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5479847193762153273.post-88545832738096090682015-04-13T01:00:37.261-04:002015-04-13T01:00:37.261-04:00I don't understand the confusion.

I'm suggesting the line "Green mana can't be used to cast creature spells," since it avoids tracking the source of the mana (which is incredibly tedious and confusing, especially on MTGO, and MTGO has bugs related to this they have not fixed for years). <br /><br />I would gamble more beginners interpret this correctly than what "mana produced by forests" means.
