Old Fogey
Help!
That's not a question. This isn't a Frequently Stated Comments.
Can you help me?
That's better. What do you need to know?
How do these abilities interact?
Let's just stick to the four that interact -- phasing, cumulative upkeep
, echo, and fading 3.
Turn #1 -- You play Old Fogey.
Turn #2 -- During your untap step before you untap, Old Fogey phases out.
Turn #3 -- During your untap step before you untap, Old Fogey phases in. Cumulative upkeep says, "Hey, pay
." (This assumes your abilities have the ability to speak -- mine do). Echo says, "Pay
or sacrifice Old Fogey." And finally fading says "Take off one of my three fading counters."
Turn #4 -- During your untap step before you untap, Old Fogey phases out.
Turn #5 -- During your untap step before you untap, Old Fogey phases in. Cumulative upkeep says, "Hey, pay
." Echo says, "I'm good." And fading says "Take off another fading counter. I'm down to one."
Turn #6 -- During your untap step before you untap, Old Fogey phases out.
Turn #7 -- During your untap step before you untap, Old Fogey phases in. Cumulative upkeep says, "Hey, pay
." Echo says, "I'm still good." And fading says "Take off my last fading counter."
Turn #8 -- During your untap step before you untap, Old Fogey phases out.
Turn #9 -- During your untap step before you untap, Old Fogey phases in. Cumulative upkeep says, "Hey, pay
." Fading then chimes in and says, "You know, I'm going to make you sacrifice Old Fogey. Do you really want to pay
?" Then cumulative upkeep says, "Maybe I will. What are you going to do about it?" And then echo says, "Guys, can't we just all get along? Can't we all just get along? Get along? Along?" A fight then ensues which ends with Old Fogey's death.
