Many years ago... I remember a couple Delphi tests (I and II) --
created by various people (Mike Kastberg, Ingo Warnke, Laurie
Cheers?). Has there been a Delphi test (or similar test) posted in
the last 4 or so years? Or is there any plans to create such a test?
I enjoyed those questions (I remember a Land Grant question that
caused several people headaches).
Just for fun, I've tried to create a sample Delphi-like question
below.
Ken
------------------------------
Ingo has a Zephid, 2 islands, and 3 mountains (all untapped) in play
and a Mogg Infestation in his hand. Laurie has a Phantom Monster, 2
islands, and 2 plains (all untapped) in play and an Oblation in his
hand. Each player has 1 card left in his library.
Ingo plays Mogg Infestation on Laurie's Phantom Monster (resolves,
producing 2 goblin tokens), then declares an attack with Zephid.
Laurie plays Oblation on one of his Goblin tokens. Both players pass.
What happens?
a) Goblin token is removed from the game, Laurie shuffles his deck
and tries to draw 2, losing the game.
b) Laurie shuffles the Goblin token into his deck and draws the
token and his last card. The Goblin token is then removed from the
game and the game continues.
c) Laurie shuffles the Goblin token into his deck and tries to draw
2, losing the game.
d) Goblin token is removed from the game, Ingo shuffles his deck
and tries to draw 2, losing the game.
e) Ingo shuffles the Goblin token into his deck and draws the token
and his last card. The Goblin token is then removed from the game and
the game continues.
f) Ingo shuffles the Goblin token into his deck and tries to draw
2, losing the game.
