Raging River

{R}{R}

Enchantment

Limited Edition Alpha

Read rules for Raging River
Whenever one or more creatures you control attack, each defending player divides all creatures without flying they control into a "left" pile and a "right" pile. Then, for each attacking creature you control, choose "left" or "right." That creature can't be blocked this combat except by creatures with flying and creatures in a pile with the chosen label.

one raging river is complicated enough... but what happens when you have 2 out?

and thats the reason for the complicated title

          While
the text is daunting at first, the overall concept is quite elegant and
simple: A large, powerful river cuts through the middle of the
Battlefield! As such, a creature on the right bank cant block an attack
on the left and vice-versa because they cant fly over it. Really quite
a powerful card if you can find a way to use it correctly cause you
effectively get to decide which set of creatures they have can block
your attackers. And if they only have one blocker...

          perhaps you have to divide your creatures into three or four groups?

Both in play at same time makes no difference, they still put non flyers on left or right, and you still choose to attack left or right.

or maybe there are 4 inlets and 2 outlets?

Wouldn't 2 of them help the opponent? I might be reading it wrong though.

Or would the first one seperate your creatures then the other one ruins your first one and makes a new formation for your creatures?

Maybe it's as boring as that Brad Pitt movie. (For all you youngsters, it's "A River Runs Through It")
