Magic the Gathering Mafia - Game Over - Mafia has won!

[Nicol Bolas]

I'm going to be upfront with this because I have a role which will never be useful without claiming:

I have one ability which takes more Mana than I can produce, and it uses nothing but colorless. The fact I will do nothing without being given specific Mana, or sharing Mana to players, is why I want to figure this out

[Nicol Bolas]

others have no need to claim, though. I was explaining so town can generally be aware of how some roles work if theirs differ, and because outing the information doesn't particularly harm me

I, for one, would like to know what the ability is, and why I should spend my colorless mana on yours over others.


I'm assuming everyone got at least 1 colorless mana land?

I didn't ask for Mana. I was simply explaining something. I also will likely not be fully claiming at any point this day

We can't publicly give too much mana out:



The mafia has a way to punish us for that.

Well, maybe you're not directly asking, but you're like that friend when you go out to the bar, talking about how expensive drinks are, and money's tight, but you're having a great time! and it's been so long since we've hung out, and can you believe cover? wow, these drinks are pricey, awe man really? are you sure? thanks man, I love you, I miss you, we need to hang out more often

I'm unsure of what is meant by hotter? Not dodging, just want to be sure of the question I'm answering.

let the records show that falcon is avoiding the question even further

I will not be joining your town core

Guillotine for some reason mulled to 0 so no data.

[hollowkatt]

I’m gonna throw out more claim right now than I normally do in games because I think it might be strategically helpful.

I have essentially two powers. One can be cast by the mana I produce or less and it’s not great. The other can be cast by more mana than I can produce by myself in a turn and is pretty decent. It’s my understanding that I can’t save up mana turn to turn.

Without rereading the rules or my rolecard, we have 10 life and a mafia kill removes 10 life. Say I need 2 extra mana to use my better ability. If I can actually get that mana and if I get targeted by that dissolve the fool power every night, it’d take 5 nights of using a better power to die, which is probably totally worth it in a game this side. Arguably no downside, even.

So the real downside to anyone with an ability choice like mine is outting that I have “a decent power” and then either having to say “give me mana if you can spare it,” which risks the fool blast doing extra damage or just not getting anything, or we have to more publicly declare what we’re doing, making it easier to not get the mana you need and generally making the wolf’s job of disrupting town powerroles easier. Ie if I’m town and LC is town and the mafia has a rb, they can essentially block us both if we make it public that LC is giving me mana by blocking me. But if I just say “give me mana” I might get 5+ and get fool killed in 2 nights instead of 5.

So like...thoughts on the best way to strategerize with this setup?

The most I want to think about things like this is this: Some people are deserving of additional mana, some people are not. Lets use good judgement on where we send mana.

if anyone gets to a point of apprehending the rules i'd appreciate a flow chart of required actions
