Proposal: Greed is Too Good

Reached Quorum, 5-0. Enacted by JonathanDark.

In the subrule “Greed” replace the word “cast” with “selected”.

On the wiki page “Wizard Duel Spell List 7” in the Effect for Greed, replace the word “cast” with “selected”.

The original intention of Greed was to set up a guessing game where if a Wizard risks selecting to cast Greed and is the only Wizard to do so, they would be rewarded with 5 Stars. With the latest rules, even though the wording of Greed is ” If no other Wizard cast the Greed spell this Duel”, since spells of the same Speed are cast in order of the Ring lowest to highest, the first Wizard to cast Greed meets the criteria since technically no other Wizard has “yet” cast the Greed spell this Duel. This makes Greed a much easier guessing game for Wizards at the front of the Ring.

The simplest fix to get it back to the intended use is to change “cast” to “selected”.

Do we want to fix this for the round 7 spells as well or leave them be?

And can we give magical armor a speed while we’re at it? Your defense against Raven nearly didn’t work

I adjusted the Proposal to change the wiki page for Duel 7 as well for Greed.

I’ll leave the Magical Armor change for another Proposal.

Unlikely this will pass in time for duel 7, unless Clucky deliberately waits. Might be better to do it as a cfj?

Clucky did say that he had limited time to process duels in the next few days, so I was planning on this one being enacted without much trouble in the next 12 hours or so after it becomes Popular. I would be surprised if there was much objection to it.

If it doesn’t pass and people really want this to happen again in Duel 7, then *shrug* I guess it will.

Also, any one of us could hold their spell selection until it passes.
