To mkae: In my experience, the problem with using "may" on TCG cards is that non-native English speakers read may as "might" and not "is able to." So you tell someone a card "may lick a toad," their first, however brief inclination is to wonder how you will now "when it may not."
I believe WotC now uses "can" instead of "may" on all Magic cards, too.

Also, cute little killer kittens may also exist. Watch yourself!
That sign is priceless.
Didn't we decide in card design that we should never use the word "may" but instead "can"?

Caution Sign:
since they used the word "may" it's not a required action. the person who played the sign can choose to have the Ice exist or not.

Is it referring to Vanilla Ice?
I love that sign. It's kinda up there with my favorite speed limit sign ever which is in Colorado Springs. Speed Limit: 12 1/2 MPH.
I wish I was kidding.
I think it must be an expression of the Heisenberg Uncertainty Principle.
I may have laughed at that sign.

I may be mistaken.
If I don't believe in your ice, does that make me an atheiced?
If I don't care if ice exists, does that make me an agnostice?
