If youve got a compelling argument for something I omitted, let me know in the comments below or over in the Draftsim Discord
When you play a Solemn Simulacrum and the game is not a race against time, your opponent winces for he knows how much harder his job just became
Once the flip permanent in the in-play zone has been flipped, the normal name, text box, type line, power, and toughness of the flip permanent don't apply and the alternative versions of those characteristics apply instead
You put the Sol Ring on the stack and go to pay for costs
The fandom has cooled down since then
Second, while the Kraken fittingly prevents artifacts and creatures from untapping (ie, it "freezes" them), it doesn't actually tap down those permanents which leaves it to be more situational
