This card:
Is about to cause a lot of judge calls, since people don't understand how priority and active/non-active situations work.
-sigh- This will be annoying next weekend.
An Uncommon?? I hope I pull 2-3. THAT will cause trouble. lol Honestly though, it's not a big deal.

I guess I don't see the confusion of priority. the text of each player reveals their card at the same time should aliviate most but the most obtuse of shenanigans. I do see people not undstanding what exactly a "card type" is, but as people said before, that's what judges are for!
Let us give one Huzzah for judges!
HUZZAH! :D

It's because people won't follow the rules that the card clearly emphasizes that both players move at once. Somebody will do it first not thinking and just ughhh...
I hope this card doesn't see Standard play.
Our Midnight Prerelease pulls out a lot of more casual players from all around the area. Players I never see otherwise.

I think it's a cool design to help combat the control decks for standard, and if you can get your opponent down to just a couple cards in hand and you're ahead already it will probably win you the game.
I think most experienced players will make sure that newer players understand how the cards works with simultaneous flipping. Otherwise, yes, judges are there for a reason.

The simple way to explain this to your opponent is you both discard a card facedown. Then, when both of you have discarded a card, flip them face up. That way, neither player can change their card

Very strong idea Denial048. I like it. I'll be sure to suggest that to our players at the Pre-Release.

That is some seriously awesome artwork, and I really hope that WotC provides it as a wallpaper on their website. The name of that card is only several letters different from "creeping death," so it is possible that there may eventually be a card with that name, or will WotC not wish to use the name of a Metallica song for a card?

Honestly, I think the card that is going to garner the most judge calls is Prized Amalgam when people misunderstand how Madness works.

@Named_Tawyny, you are probably right, but that is why they have printed reminder text on most Madness cards. Just the Wind for reference.

That's what the judges are there for, though, and any situation that results in players having a greater knowledge of the game and how it works is never a bad thing.
So I guess I'm trying to say... Why is this a problem?
