Possibility Storm: Between Season Special #3


Hello Puzzlers! This week we have a treat for you in deed. A little behind the scenes look at making Puzzles. One of the bigger patreon perks is that $10 patrons have the ability to make there very own puzzle! Nick Ptack has done just that.

There also exist a weird position in this puzzle where we can't explain why the cats didn't attack last turn. While not every puzzle is exactly reality, we do strive for realism. Take a look at what nick and i came to after several reviews.

Feel free to run over to the possibility storm and listen to the PS editor trying to solve this live.

These puzzles are free to play, but if you like to challenge yourself or others then you can get early access over here. Each puzzle has a unique solution but if you find a better one that our crack staff of puzzle analyst missed you can reach us here or on twitter @mtgpuzzles.
