whats wrong with this card? (new create a card game)

[Warrior]

Haunted Reefs
Land
T, Pay 1 life, Sacrifice Haunted Reefs: Search your deck for a Swamp or Island card and put it onto the battlefield. Then shuffle your library.

Should be "Library" not "Deck"

How is that a problem, that's basically a different name for the library. Same exact thing.

How is that a problem, that's basically a different name for the library. Same exact thing.

Its not really the same, here are the definitions from the rules:

Deck
The collection of cards a player starts the game with; it becomes that player’s library.

Library
1. A zone. A player’s library is where that player draws cards from.
2. All the cards in a player’s library.

So Library is the correct term to use. If a card such as Haunted Reefs did exist, I guess "searching your deck" would mean to search all the cards you started with whichever zone they are in, even the battlefield

Okay, I guess you are right ^_^ I have never heard of it that way. I looked it up and every card that mentions the word "deck" has something to do with the beginning of the game. Thank you, that is something I have learned.

A couple more (these might be a bit harder)

Lunatic Warrior 1RB
Creature - Human Soldier
When lunatic warrior enters the battlefield, target player discards 3 cards and you lose 3 life
T: The next sorcery spell you cast this turn can't be countered
1/3

whats the answer to this one?

[Chodie]

I THOUGHT that it had something to do with the sorcery being countered... Like...

The ability activated to trigger
Then the sorcery is played
It is countered
The counter is canceled due to triggered ability

I don't think you can counter something with a trigger.

That's not even close to right.

Okay, it's kinda close - it does have something to do with that ability, but the way you wrote it out there has nothing to do with it and isn't how the rules work.

[Chodie]

I SURRENDER!!! I have no clue... care to tell me? I like this thread because it teaches me things about magic lingo.

[Arix]

Should be "The next sorcery spell you cast this turn can't be countered by spells or abilities".

[Chodie]

I thought that was implied... what else could counter it?

[Arix]

The game rules. If it has a target, and that target becomes illegal before the spell resolves, the rules counter the spell. Compare the wording of Obliterate to that of Combust.

[Chodie]

I kind of get it...
