how can you be beat when every card you own could be a 99/99 creature with everything?

@SgtSwaggr: Richarld Garfeild wasn't even on the Worldwake design team. Innistrad will be the first block he's had a direct influence on card-wise since Ravnica. And I'm pretty tired of Jace, the Mind Sculptor getting such a horrid wrap among players. It kinda make you sound like the Indie Hipster to talking down to a guy because his music is "too mainstream". He's a great utility card, and crucial to many decks strategies being optimized and executed. No, I don't think this warrants a 75-90 dollar price tag, but thats supply versus demand.

As for the Card in question, -now that the rant has been exhausted out of me- it is simply amazing. Mental Magic was always a fun thing at school. And the EDH possibilites makes my Johnny-bells jingle.
10/5

Ultimate casual Godhand and first turn...
Me (turn 1, on the play): Swamp, Dark Ritual, Black Lotus, sac for blue...
Opponent: *GASP!*
Me: Richard Garfield, Ph.D., then cast Black Lotus #2, #3, and #4 as an Ornithopter, a Phyrexian Walker, and a Memnite!
Opponent: WTF just happened?

It just says cards . . . does that mean I can turn my one from Uno or Skip-Bo into a Black Lotus? I can even do it with Pikachu!
EDIT: It says other magic cards. Oh well.

If you've got a singleton Richard Garfield in your deck, can you play Force of Will AS that Richard?

Tough Play Decision: What should you cast 4-cost blue cards as? Cryptic Command, or Jace the Mind Sculptor? And if 'color' also means color DENSITY...well, I think that dropping the density requirement probly doesn't break the format much more than it already is, and would make all the uniquely costed cards more fun...

And anyway it's Un-Set, so the rules are what you want them to be, and Jace probably should have cost Bluer anyway.

So, forgetting all the other details- say they cost exactly the same- which is better to name? Jace or CC?

I still don't get how to play duel masters with this guy. They either have no power or toughness.
