At least from a fantasy perspective across many franchises creatures/people that are berserk or are a Berserker and enraged can’t be disabled/stopped…just an idea I thought I’d throw out there
In this game disable also acts as a temporary/reversible exile status (Hixis, cast out, etc) in addition to other disabling enchantment effects like suppression bonds, etc.
I don’t think being a berserker would render one immune to magical incapacitation or tossing into another dimension.
What I never got was why a berserker couldnt attack a disabled creature. Unless they are phased out they should be easy pickings…
Actually, in many fantasy like games, an enraged or berserk creature gets attack bonuses but is unable to do anything else except attacking… Sometimes it also gets immune to stun. The magic the gathering berserk has nothing to do with it… It’s a totally different feature and it’s originally designed to fit in a card game… It’s very different from a “classic” videogame
There’s a few game mechanics that had me scratching my head when I first started playing. Like, why can’t a creature like Westvale Abby or Mage-Ring responder (when given defender) able to block? Because it would be too easy then I guess lol
Rather than a video game I was more referring to Classic D&D for my example of Berserkers…would be kind of a fun counter for all those cough lovely people that run nothing but disable supports. But it would have to be some kind of one-time use ability / spell as not to be too crazy
@FindingHeart8 because “can’t” overrules “can” in MTG.
You can find anti disable creatures in white/blue(cycling one) and red (mythic 4/4 for 6 mana). I think it’s new, I never seen such an ability before amonkhet if I remember well. Maybe they will introduce some more with ixalan.
If memory serves, originally it did not say that Westvale Abbey could not block.
Because it’s a land in the paper version if I’m not dreaming
They could have made it a support instead of a creature but when it was released they didn’t had the “support looses 1 shield” mechanic. It’s just a lucky guess…
