Card Person Change
Sanctified Cloister SOK renaming to match printed version (12 years ago.)
Sanctified Cloister SOK Name changed from Sanctified Field to Sanctified Cloister (12 years ago.)
Cyclopean Commander KS I figure he can also be slightly cheaper as a rare considering you also need Foresight to get the boost. Can always be changed on the day if too good. (12 years ago.)
Cyclopean Commander KS Cost changed from 4GGG to 3GGG (12 years ago.)
Cyclopean Commander KS Slight templating fix. (12 years ago.)
Cyclopean Commander KS Type changed from Creature - Cyclops to Creature - Cyclops Warrior; Text changed from When ~ enters the battlefield, put two 2/2 green Cyclops creature tokens onto the battlefield. If the top card of your library is face up and a creature card, Cyclops creatures you control get +1/+1. to When ~ enters the battlefield, put two 2/2 green Cyclops creature tokens onto the battlefield. If the top card of your library is a face up creature card, Cyclops creatures you control get +1/+1. (12 years ago.)
Cyclopean Commander KS The new Cyclops Commander! Let's see if he works out! (12 years ago.)
Cyclopean Commander KS Cost changed from 1GGG to 4GGG; Text changed from Foresight (Play with the top card of your library revealed) If the top card of your library is a creature card, creatures you control get +2/+2. to When ~ enters the battlefield, put two 2/2 green Cyclops creature tokens onto the battlefield. If the top card of your library is face up and a creature card, Cyclops creatures you control get +1/+1.; Power changed from 3 to 2; Toughness changed from 3 to 2 (12 years ago.)
Fanatical Mage KS Appeasing Baker! (12 years ago.)
Fanatical Mage KS Name changed from Mage Fanatic to Fanatical Mage (12 years ago.)
Simple Offering SOK Text changed from Destroy target artifact or enchantment. You gain 1 life. Flashback 2W to You may discard a Plains card rather than pay ~'s mana cost. Destroy target artifact or enchantment. You gain 1 life. (12 years ago.)
Staff of the Towers TB Disliked this. (12 years ago.)
Signal Stone SOK Changing name to better match art (12 years ago.)
Signal Stone SOK Name changed from Signal Solitaire to Signal Stone (12 years ago.)
Heroic End SOK Swapping with Might of Eons (12 years ago.)
Heroic End SOK Rarity changed from C to U (12 years ago.)
Might of Eons SOK Swapping with heroic end (12 years ago.)
Might of Eons SOK Rarity changed from U to C (12 years ago.)
Ambassadorial Garb SOK "Whenever equipped creature becomes the target of a spell or ability an opponent controls, counter that spell or ability unless its controller pays 2." (12 years ago.)
Ambassadorial Garb PH maybe have it give frost titan's protection ability? not sure how that would template though (12 years ago.)
Ambassadorial Garb KS Protection from Wizards isn't really that good any more - basically all the remaining ones are too small to worry about. Would protection from Humans work? Considered protection from cards with Portent, but I think that would be a bit good. (12 years ago.)
Anaran Squire PH Yeah just checked, thought there was an ajani's mantra type enchantment but that's been cut (12 years ago.)
Anaran Squire KS Blessed Pilgrim is the only proper repeatable enabler (he's the set's Goblin Fireslinger!). Otherwise it's mostly lifelink creatures so you still have to attack (and possibly lose the creature) to get the Soulsong bonus in your turn. (12 years ago.)
Anaran Squire PH The thing with soulsong is that once you have an enabler down, you can rely on having it active every turn. Bloodthirst in M12 got around that by only having a couple of repeatable enablers (staff of ages, goblin fireslinger) and then relying on attacking or burn. (12 years ago.)
Amorphous Mass KS Instead of exiling the card, I'm making him mill it because it makes him way more synergistic with Black and Red effects. Should be easy enough to see which card in the graveyard he's copying. (12 years ago.)
Amorphous Mass KS Text changed from 1U: Reveal the top card of your library. If a permanent is revealed this way, ~ becomes a copy of that permanent and gains this ability. to 1U: Reveal the top card of your library. If a permanent is revealed this way, put it into your graveyard. If you do, ~ becomes a copy of that card and gains this ability. (12 years ago.)
Peripatetic Bibliomancer SOK Trying to smooth reds curve out a little, plus there are so many 4 drops at uncommon (12 years ago.)
Peripatetic Bibliomancer SOK Cost changed from 3R to 2R; Power changed from 2 to 1; Toughness changed from 2 to 1 (12 years ago.)
Amorphous Mass AC So, should this be until EOT, or exile (so ppl will rmb what he is)? And is 2 mana too cheap to 'copy' stuff? (12 years ago.)
Zealous Protector KS Going for Allan's suggestion here - should be quite interesting I think. (12 years ago.)
Zealous Protector KS Text changed from First strike, Lifelink to Double Strike, Lifelink; Power changed from 2 to 1 (12 years ago.)
Anaran Squire KS I keep thinking of Soulsong as a proper bonus, when in reality it isn't too likely to trigger. Pumped him up to a 2/1 for 2, which probably doesn't break anything. (12 years ago.)
Anaran Squire KS Cost changed from W to 1W; Power changed from 1 to 2 (12 years ago.)
Anaran Squire TB Now he just seems unplayable? (12 years ago.)
Tower Warden TB Agreed with Allan's suggestion. (12 years ago.)
Tower Warden TB Text changed from Defender T: Remove target attacking creature from combat. to Defender W, T: Remove target attacking creature from combat. (12 years ago.)
Peripatetic Bibliomancer TB Name changed from Ritualistic Bibliomancer to Peripatetic Bibliomancer (12 years ago.)
Simple Offering KS Since White has no access to looting or milling effects, this is probably only going to end up in a base green deck anyway. Would be good to make it available to white, but without having to make it hybrid, but that's not easy. (12 years ago.)
Ritualistic Bibliomancer SOK Name changed from Pyretic Bibliomancer to Ritualistic Bibliomancer (12 years ago.)
Simple Offering SOK Since this is substantially worse than Natural End in Avacyn, how about we tack on an enemy colour flashback to allow white some access to artifact and enchantment removal? (12 years ago.)
Simple Offering SOK Type changed from Sorcery to Instant; Text changed from Destroy target artifact or enchantment. You gain 1 life. to Destroy target artifact or enchantment. You gain 1 life. Flashback 2W (12 years ago.)
Peripatetic Bibliomancer KS I don't, but I'm not sure I like this one! The Pyretic part seems a bit off since creatures with that name are usually pingers or firebreathers. (12 years ago.)
Dalgath Thug PH Done! (12 years ago.)
Dalgath Thug PH Name changed from Dalgath Thug1 to Dalgath Thug (12 years ago.)
Dalgath Prowler PH Name changed from Dalgath Thug to Dalgath Prowler (12 years ago.)
Dalgath Thug1 PH Name changed from Dalgath Prowler to Dalgath Thug1 (12 years ago.)
Peripatetic Bibliomancer SOK I hated the original name, if you have a better one than this let me know. (12 years ago.)
Pyretic Bibliomancer SOK Name changed from Looter Elder to Pyretic Bibliomancer (12 years ago.)
Dalgath Thug SOK I think the names on Thug/Prowler should switch, makes more sense to me for the Prowler to be hard to block and the Thug to hurt things (12 years ago.)
Staff of the Towers PH changed to scry for U ability, made it play better with portent as well (12 years ago.)
Staff of the Towers PH Text changed from 1W, T : Target player gains 2 life. 1U, T : Reveal the top card of your library until end of turn. Until end of turn, you may play the revealed card as though it was in your hand. 1B, T : Target player puts the top 2 cards of their library into their graveyard. 1R, T : Discard a card, then draw a card. 1G, T : Target creature gets +2/+2 until end of turn. to 1W, T : Target player gains 2 life. 1U, T : Scry 2, then reveal the top card of your library until end of turn. 1B, T : Target player puts the top 2 cards of their library into their graveyard. 1R, T : Discard a card, then draw a card. 1G, T : Target creature gets +2/+2 until end of turn. (12 years ago.)
Staff of the Towers PH Scry 2 is probably a good fix, I'll change it (12 years ago.)
Staff of the Towers AC Blue ability seems pretty strong, maybe make it scry 2 instead, and it fits nicely with the number 2. (12 years ago.)
Battlefield Oracle SOK He is actually really strong, better than he looks on paper. Fixes your next draw, gets big, sets up other top of the library tricks. I like him a lot, although he kept dying before I could actually attack with him most of the time in testing! (12 years ago.)
Heroic End SOK I've seen it played twice, both times it was cast on a small guy to trade with a big guy and gain some life. Card disadvantaqge, but flavourful removal in green. (12 years ago.)
Caliph of Tyrosh SOK It is a triggered ability so it will go on the stack, and you would resolve it once your looting is complete. So if you discard a card, then draw a card, you complete your looting by drawing a card, and then each player would discard their hand and draw 4. (12 years ago.)
Zealous Protector KS This would be an interesting change. He'd be weaker normally (since he's trade with a 2/2) but be way better with things that increased his power. Got to be worth a try, if only because it stops it being a reprint! (12 years ago.)
Vine Bonder KS The original ability was a bit good. This seems a bit more reasonable even if the Portent isn't as good any more. (12 years ago.)
Vine Bonder KS Text changed from When ~ enters the battlefield, put a +1/+1 counter on target creature. If ~ was played for its Portent cost, instead put two +1/+1 counters on that creature. Portent 1G (If this is face up and on top of your library, you may play it for its portent cost.) to When ~ enters the battlefield, target creature gets +1/+1 until end of turn. If ~ was played for its Portent cost, instead that creature gets +2/+2 until end of turn. Portent 1G (If this is face up and on top of your library, you may play it for its portent cost.); Power changed from 1 to 2; Toughness changed from 1 to 2 (12 years ago.)
Astral Magus AC Out of all the white rares, I would cut this guy (12 years ago.)
Might of Eons AC This seems like it can even be common, as you might be missing your next draw step. (12 years ago.)
Battlefield Oracle AC Out of the 5 green rares, I would cut this guy. Seems just decent. (12 years ago.)
Tower Warden AC Maybe it needs a W activation cost as well? Seems like facing two of these is quite sad especially as its common. (12 years ago.)
Anaran Squire KS Just had a way more interesting idea for this guy. Super cheap but pretty useless without Soulsong. (12 years ago.)
Anaran Squire KS Name changed from Fanatical Devotee to Anaran Squire; Cost changed from 1W to W; Text changed from Soulsong - ~ enters the battlefield with a +1/+1 counter on it if you gained life this turn. to Soulsong - When ~ enters the battlefield, if you gained life this turn put a +1/+1 counter on target creature.; Power changed from 2 to 1; Toughness changed from 2 to 1 (12 years ago.)
Impossible Horror KS Actually, maybe it would work better to go the other way that Paul suggested and put this on a smaller guy like a 2/3 flier for 1U? Then the common reach creature can at least block him. Plus being cheaper will let him set up Portent more effectively. (12 years ago.)
Zealous Protector AC Maybe 1/2 then? (12 years ago.)
Heroic End KS Very possibly, though we haven't really seen it in action yet. I'd assume this will mostly be cast on a little guy, so you'll at least lose a creature yourself and the lifegain is likely to be minimal. (12 years ago.)
Spellslinging Augur KS In context he's probably fine as an uncommon, though in a 'normal' set he'd be pretty busted. There are a lot less spells than creatures, and a lot of them already have Portent. This guy is kind of important because he gives White and Red decks more reason to want to combine with Blue as they have no Portent spells naturally. (12 years ago.)
Zealous Protector KS Double Strike with Lifelink is a pretty cool combiantion, but on a 1/1 it's going to be a bit awkward since if you can't pump him he trades with a Sanctuary Cat! (12 years ago.)
Spellslinging Augur PH yeah he's a bit like oracle of mul daya isn't he? (12 years ago.)
Impossible Horror KS Isn't a 4/4 flier for 3 even more of an issue on turn 3 than a 3/4? Also we already have a 4/4 uncommon blue flier. What about an unblockable guy? Something like Phantom Warrior or Latch Seeker so it attacks pretty well but dies to pretty much anything and is nowhere near as good on defense? (12 years ago.)
Caliph of Tyrosh AC how does it stack with the looters? (12 years ago.)
Heroic End AC Is just G too cheap? (12 years ago.)
Dalgath Thug AC Agree, deathtouch on a 4/2 seems odd. a 4/2 with unearth seems pretty decent for a black common (12 years ago.)
Spellslinging Augur AC i'm sure this has been mentioned, but this guy feels rare (12 years ago.)
Graveshade AC dont know why, but this feels uncommon to me (12 years ago.)
Zealous Protector AC Maybe make this a 1/1 but double strike, lifelink? (12 years ago.)
Impossible Horror SOK A big non-flier does not really feel very blue though. We could go with Paul's idea, something like: Impossible Horror - 1UU - Flying. At the beginning of your upkeep put a card from your hand on top of your library, if you don't sacrifice ~. 4/4 (12 years ago.)
Impossible Horror KS The big difference between this guy and Stitched Drake/Fettergeist is that if they get killed it doesn't really matter, whilst this actually costs you a card if you play it early and it dies. However, if they don't have an answer it seems pretty dominant on turn 3. Maybe this should be more a big non-flier instead since that would make it easier to stop and we already have Portentious Shrike as a potentially undercosted flier. (12 years ago.)
Impossible Horror PH I'm not so sure the drawback is that bad tbh, you're essentially giving up your T4 draw step (in an ideal scenario). On the play he's a huge "deal with me or die" type threat, and the answers to him may not be online for a while. Stitched drake is a genuine T5/6 type of threat, and can be played around to a certain degree by not trading with their early drops (for example) and needs an enabler to hit T3. Fettergeist dissuades you from dumping your hand as a followup. Could go the other route, make him bigger (maybe 4/4 for 2UU?) and make the drawback an upkeep cost? Similar to living tsunami who ended up being a great landfall enabler. (12 years ago.)
Impossible Horror SOK All valid points Paul. The drawback on this guy is way worse than Stitched Drake, unless you have foresight, and a portent card, and even then you probably can't make use of it if you drop him on turn 3. I had the chance to cast him on turn 3 a few times, but ended up not doing it, he was much cooler as a cheap mid game drop that also gave you a chance at portent'ing something. I probably should have just tried throwing him down turn 3 to see how much of a beating he might be. Also compare to Fettergeist, I grant you he might be a little stronger than that, but he is basically a 3/4 flyer for 1UU and discarding a card. We can always try him as a 3/3 if people are really worried. (12 years ago.)
Impossible Horror PH bit concerned over this guy as a 3/4 evasion dude with a negligible drawback is very very good. Stitched Drake can't be cast on T3 without help, this can be cast T3 every time, Emancipation Angel tends to set you back a turn and wouldn't even trade with this. If he's an enabler, recommend making him smaller (2/2 at most) and upping the cost. If he's a large flying threat then make him a 4/4 and up the cost. You could also template as: "As an additional cost to cast this put a card from your hand face up on top of your library. ~ enters the battlefield with X +1/+1 counters where X is the CMC of that card" (12 years ago.)
Might of Eons SOK Well Impossible Horror is kind of the blue one already... (12 years ago.)
Might of Eons PH Nice, this could be part of a cycle ;) (12 years ago.)
Might of Eons PH Liked this. (12 years ago.)
Might of Eons SOK I want more green spells too, so this is good. (12 years ago.)
Might of Eons SOK Liked this. (12 years ago.)
Deferred Pleasure KS You're probably right. (12 years ago.)
Deferred Pleasure KS Text changed from Skip your draw step. At the beginning of your upkeep, search your library for a card, then shuffle your library and put that card face up on top of it. to Foresight (Play with the top card of your library revealed). Skip your draw step. At the beginning of your upkeep, search your library for a card, then shuffle your library and put that card on top of it. (12 years ago.)
Might of Eons KS I know I shouldn't be making anything else now (especially at green uncommon!) but while picking my green uncommons I realized there weren't enough spells! And the cards that let you chose what goes on top of your library have led to some of the best plays in the games so far. Happy to just immediately retire it if nobody thinks it's worth having! (12 years ago.)
Might of Eons KS New card: G Instant U As an additional cost to play Might of Eons, put a card from your hand face up on top of your library. Target creature gets +X/+X until end of turn, where X is that card's converted mana cost. (12 years ago.)
Deferred Pleasure SOK Would just giving it Foresight not be a bit cleaner? (12 years ago.)
Raid the Library KS Liked this. (12 years ago.)
Deferred Pleasure KS Liked this. (12 years ago.)
Deferred Pleasure KS Templating changed a bit and let it put the card face up on top so you don't have to have Foresight. Might help it make the cut... (12 years ago.)
Deferred Pleasure KS Text changed from Skip your draw step - instead search your library for a card and put that card on top of your library. to Skip your draw step. At the beginning of your upkeep, search your library for a card, then shuffle your library and put that card face up on top of it. (12 years ago.)
Natural Instinct KS Putting this up to actually cost the same as Divination! At least one player will have Foresight most of the time, so this will usually be an instant-speed draw 2 that either ruins opposing Portent or filters a useless card out of your deck! (12 years ago.)
Natural Instinct KS Cost changed from G to 2G (12 years ago.)
Natural Instinct KS That's a good point! We have so much Portent that this is really easy to set up - and when you cast this on yourself with a land you don't need on top, it's basically a green Ancestral Recall! (12 years ago.)
Natural Instinct AC Potentially drawing two cards for a single mana seems really powerful, given so many foresight cards. Maybe make 1G instead? (12 years ago.)
Empty the Libraries KS Liked this. (12 years ago.)

Ghastlord of the Black Tower SOK Liked this. (12 years ago.)
Staff of the Towers SOK Further templating fixes, moving to WUBRG order (12 years ago.)
Staff of the Towers SOK Text changed from 1R, T : Discard a card, then draw a card 1G, T : Target creature gets +2/+2 until end of turn 1W, T : Target player gains 2 life 1U, T : Reveal the top card of your library until end of turn. Until end of turn, you may play the revealed card as though it was in your hand. 1B, T : Target player puts the top 2 cards of their library into their graveyard to 1W, T : Target player gains 2 life. 1U, T : Reveal the top card of your library until end of turn. Until end of turn, you may play the revealed card as though it was in your hand. 1B, T : Target player puts the top 2 cards of their library into their graveyard. 1R, T : Discard a card, then draw a card. 1G, T : Target creature gets +2/+2 until end of turn. (12 years ago.)

Lostsight Counsel PH making it instant means it's actually playable - no way you want to be tapping 6 to be +1 card. It's a terrible divination as a sorcery :) (12 years ago.)
Lostsight Counsel KS I don't think making it an Instant breaks anything and it might help me remember to cast it. (12 years ago.)
Lostsight Counsel KS Type changed from Sorcery to Instant (12 years ago.)
Centaur Preceptor PH yeah I always played it like that - hence the comment about exile camp! (12 years ago.)
Lostsight Counsel SOK Would it be too much to make this an instant? (12 years ago.)
Mind's Eye Bowman SOK I know. I have a cool image of a blind elf archer which I'm using for the moment. (12 years ago.)
Mind's Eye Bowman KS This could be some sort of Spider, though it wouldn't be as awesome! (12 years ago.)
Centaur Preceptor KS I always thought it was 3 or below! (12 years ago.)
Looting Charm KS Added a missing 'or'! (12 years ago.)
Looting Charm KS Text changed from Choose one - Destroy target noncreature artifact; ~ deals 1 damage to target creature; or discard up to two cards then draw that many cards. to Choose one - Destroy target noncreature artifact; or ~ deals 1 damage to target creature; or discard up to two cards then draw that many cards. (12 years ago.)
Peripatetic Bibliomancer KS This could work as a 3-drop, though the ability seems like it could be busted on a 2/2 for 3. If it moves to 3, maybe make it so you have to double loot instead of getting the choice? (12 years ago.)
Peripatetic Bibliomancer SOK Wow, this has survived with not a single comment. Needs a better name I think. Also slightly irritating that both reds 4 drop uncommons are 2/2 creatures. Can we make one a 3 drop, or maybe Mindbroke Mage a 5 drop? (12 years ago.)
Hot Under the Collar SOK I think being able to hit four toughness creatures is important, so lets just bump up the madness cost and see how that changes it. (12 years ago.)
Hot Under the Collar SOK Text changed from ~ deals 4 damage to target creature or player. Madness 1R to ~ deals 4 damage to target creature or player. Madness 2R (12 years ago.)
Hot Under the Collar KS Fiery Temper would probably be just as good if not actually better! Since our red has so much looting, this is basically 1R - destroy target creature, draw a card. Fiery Temper would be a cantrip lightning bolt, which is also pretty nuts. Whilst they do need other cards to be that good, those other cards are looters and therefore amazing anyway. Madness was originally in a set full of Dueling Mage style creatures whose abilities weren't quite as good. Maybe we could swap this and a red uncommon if there's one that would make sense. (12 years ago.)
Zealous Protector KS I guess it didn't really make sense the other way. It's just kind of annoying that it's the only reprint. (12 years ago.)
Zealous Protector KS Text changed from First strike Whenever ~ attacks or blocks, you gain 2 life. to First strike, Lifelink (12 years ago.)
Zealous Protector TB Why is this better? (12 years ago.)
Hot Under the Collar TB You're the one that won't let us have Fiery Temper! (12 years ago.)
Signal Stone KS With the uncommon Relic, do we need this as well? If not, we could bring back an uncommon artifact at common to replace it. (12 years ago.)
Tower Relic KS Retired all the colourless uncommons bar this so we can have extra coloured ones. (12 years ago.)
Staff of the Towers KS Text changed from 1R, T : Discard a card, then draw a card 1G, T : Target creature gets +2/+2 until end of turn 1W, T : Target player gains 2 life 1U, T : Reveal the top card of your library until end of turn. You may play the revealed card as though it was in your hand until end of turn. 1B, T : Target player puts the top 2 cards of their library into their graveyard to 1R, T : Discard a card, then draw a card 1G, T : Target creature gets +2/+2 until end of turn 1W, T : Target player gains 2 life 1U, T : Reveal the top card of your library until end of turn. Until end of turn, you may play the revealed card as though it was in your hand. 1B, T : Target player puts the top 2 cards of their library into their graveyard (12 years ago.)
Staff of the Towers KS Tidying the templating up a little (12 years ago.)
Staff of the Towers KS Text changed from 1R, T : discard a card, then draw a card 1G, T : target creature gets +2/+2 until end of turn 1W, T : target player gains 2 life 1U, T : reveal the top card of your library until the end of turn, you may play that card as if it was in your hand 1B, T : target player puts the top 2 cards of their library into their graveyard to 1R, T : Discard a card, then draw a card 1G, T : Target creature gets +2/+2 until end of turn 1W, T : Target player gains 2 life 1U, T : Reveal the top card of your library until end of turn. You may play the revealed card as though it was in your hand until end of turn. 1B, T : Target player puts the top 2 cards of their library into their graveyard (12 years ago.)
Anaran Squire KS Increasing his toughness seems totally reasonable. Unlikely to get Soulsong on turn 2 anyway and it makes him better late-game. (12 years ago.)
Fanatical Devotee KS Toughness changed from 1 to 2 (12 years ago.)
Mind's Eye Bowman SOK This guy might have to change creature type, if only because finding art for a Cylope Archer is proving very difficult! (12 years ago.)
Centaur Preceptor SOK I think we might have been playing this wrong. It can only fetch three drops, not 3 or above. (12 years ago.)
Centaur Preceptor SOK Text changed from When ~ enters the battlefield, search your library for a creature card with converted mana cost 3 and reveal that card. Shuffle your library, then put that card on top of it face up. to When ~ enters the battlefield, search your library for a creature card with converted mana cost of 3 and reveal that card. Shuffle your library, then put that card on top of it face up. (12 years ago.)
Graveshade SOK Text changed from 2BB: Graveshade gets +1/+1 until end of turn for each creature card in your graveyard. to 2BB: ~ gets +1/+1 until end of turn for each creature card in your graveyard. (12 years ago.)
Diviner's Familiar SOK Text changed from Flying When Diviner's Familiar enters the battlefield name a card then reveal the top card of your library. If the named card is revealed, draw a card. to Flying When ~ enters the battlefield name a card then reveal the top card of your library. If the named card is revealed, draw a card. (12 years ago.)
Exaltation of Larks SOK Text changed from Flying Soulsong - Exaltation of Larks enters the battlefield with a +1/+1 counter on it if you gained life this turn. to Flying Soulsong - ~ enters the battlefield with a +1/+1 counter on it if you gained life this turn. (12 years ago.)
Soulbrethren SOK Text changed from Soulsong - Soulbrethren enters the battlefield with a +1/+1 counter on it if you gained life this turn. to Soulsong - ~ enters the battlefield with a +1/+1 counter on it if you gained life this turn. (12 years ago.)
Anara Falconer SOK Type changed from Creature - Human to Creature - Human Soldier; Text changed from When ~ enters the battlefield, put a 1/1 white Bird creature token with flying onto the battlefield to When ~ enters the battlefield, put a 1/1 white Bird creature token with flying onto the battlefield. (12 years ago.)
Anaran Squire SOK Thought this guy had been retired already. Maybe make him a 2/2 with the ability. Doesn't seem broken at all, as Soulsong can be hard to trigger sometimes (12 years ago.)
Dreamriver Boa KS I'm not convinced this should be in. It's quite annoying to deal with and it punishes you for playing with our biggest set mechanic. Plus it doesn't fit any of green's themes at all. It is the only regenerating green creature, though! (12 years ago.)
Centaur Nullifier KS We really need more 2-drops in green and less 3-drops. Maybe of he cost 1G but sacrificed for the effect? He'd even be good as an early beater that way. (12 years ago.)
Bearback Rider KS Trying him with Portent (12 years ago.)
Bearback Rider KS Text changed from Flash When ~ enters the battlefield, put a 2/2 green Bear creature token onto the battlefield to Flash When ~ enters the battlefield, put a 2/2 green Bear creature token onto the battlefield Portent 1GG (If this is face up and on top of your library, you may play it for its portent cost.) (12 years ago.)
Carromantic Candle KS Bumped to rare and made even cheaper! (12 years ago.)
Carromantic Candle KS Cost changed from 2 to 1; Rarity changed from U to R; Text changed from Foresight (Play with the top card of your library revealed). 2, Sacrifice ~: Draw a card. to Foresight (Play with the top card of your library revealed). 1, Sacrifice ~: Draw a card. (12 years ago.)
Scroll Burner SOK I like this guy! You can go all in on him in the aggro deck, or try and use him as a bad looter for the looting deck. (12 years ago.)
Centaur Nullifier SOK As this is almost our only artifact/enchanment removal, might want to make this more available for other colours. Maybe 2G casting cost for a 2/1? (12 years ago.)
Scroll Burner PH Surely he's a Scroll Beast? (12 years ago.)
Scroll Burner KS Making him slightly easier to deal with since the drawback is often a bonus! (12 years ago.)
Scroll Burner KS Toughness changed from 4 to 3 (12 years ago.)
Scroll Burner KS An option to replace Charm-Clad Brute as the red aggro guy. The drawback is quite brutal, but imagine discarding Rage Harness and Mage Fanatic to him, then casting Pageflame! (12 years ago.)
Scroll Burner KS New card: 1RR Creature - Beast U When Scroll Burner enters the battlefield, sacrifice it unless you discard two cards. 5/4 (12 years ago.)
Staff of the Towers PH Text changed from 1R, T : discard a card, then draw a card 1G, T : target creature gets +2/+2 until end of turn 1W, T : target player gains 2 life 1U, T : reveal the top card of your library until the end of turn, you may play that card as if it was in your hand 1B, T : target player puts the top 2 cards of their library into their graveyard 4 : untap ~ to 1R, T : discard a card, then draw a card 1G, T : target creature gets +2/+2 until end of turn 1W, T : target player gains 2 life 1U, T : reveal the top card of your library until the end of turn, you may play that card as if it was in your hand 1B, T : target player puts the top 2 cards of their library into their graveyard (12 years ago.)
Ransack the Shelves KS This is my favorite red drawing uncommon. The looting ones are all a bit similar and all cost a bit much to combine with Mindstorm effectively. This can get you a double discard from the madness for free. Plus it's fun to do the splitting! (12 years ago.)
Hot Under the Collar KS This is pretty crazy when you can cast it for 2. It kills nearly any creature or is basically Lava Axe. The normal cost is really high, though. If it couldn't hit players it might be okay. (12 years ago.)
Staff of the Towers PH Yeah true, I wanted something to represent breaking the staff and making everything go kaboom, I'll have a think... (12 years ago.)
Hot Under the Collar SOK Potentially might need to bump madness cost to 2R to lower red power level a bit (12 years ago.)
Staff of the Towers KS I don't think more than five abilities would actually fit on the card! Obelisk of Alara was barely readable. This has some really good abilities as it is, and it's going to be pretty hard to play all five colours in this format anyway. (12 years ago.)
Staff of the Towers PH was thinking about having a WUBRG ability as well WUBRG, exile ~ : for each permanent type on the battlefield exile up to one target permanent of that type (12 years ago.)
Staff of the Towers KS I don't think it needs the untap ability at all. Obelisk of Alara could only do one and it was still pretty nuts! You'd need 8 mana to do two in a turn anyway. (12 years ago.)
Rambunctious Cyclops KS I think we need a Cyclops at uncommon and this seems to be the only one left. The ability helps you win and he's a great blocker until you get it. Has my vote for an uncommon slot. (12 years ago.)
Natural Instinct KS I quite like this as a spell option for green at uncommon since it removes your lands when you don't want them on top or ruins opposing foresight. This might even be better as a common, possibly as a straight swap with Heroic End. (12 years ago.)
Bearback Rider KS I like this guy, but with the only two uncommon Portent creatures also at three mana he's probably not going to make it. (12 years ago.)
Arena Champion KS This guy is pretty awesome. Gets my vote for green uncommon. (12 years ago.)
Centaur Nullifier KS Pretty much an automatic inclusion in green uncommon I think. (12 years ago.)
Carromantic Candle SOK We need to cut a common artifact, and gain some uncommons so lets move this. (12 years ago.)
Carromantic Candle SOK Rarity changed from C to U (12 years ago.)
Staff of the Towers PH First stab at an Obelisk of Alara analogue (12 years ago.)
Staff of the Towers PH New card: 4 Artifact R 1R, T : discard a card, then draw a card 1G, T : target creature gets +2/+2 until end of turn 1W, T : target player gains 2 life 1U, T : reveal the top card of your library until the end of turn, you may play that card as if it was in your hand 1B, T : target player puts the top 2 cards of their library into their graveyard 4 : untap Staff of the Towers (12 years ago.)
Carromantic Candle PH How about making it a 1/1 dude instead? (12 years ago.)
Carromantic Candle KS This might actually be too good! It's the best Foresight enabler since it has such a low cost, fits in any deck, is really hard to destroy, and cycles so it's never a dead draw. Should probably actually be an uncommon! (12 years ago.)
Loam Lurker PH seems like a fine dude (12 years ago.)
Loam Lurker PH Liked this. (12 years ago.)
Loam Lurker KS One last space for a common Green Portent creature. Not too exciting but he gets the job done! (12 years ago.)
Loam Lurker KS New card: 4G Creature - Plant C Portent 4G (If this is face up and on top of your library, you may play it for its portent cost.) 4/5 (12 years ago.)
Zealous Protector KS Whilst Baker said to keep the abilities I think this still qualifies. He doesn't gain more life if you increase his power, but he does if you give him lifelink. (12 years ago.)
Zealous Protector KS Text changed from First strike, Lifelink to First strike Whenever ~ attacks or blocks, you gain 2 life. (12 years ago.)
Warden of Arges KS Taking Simon's suggestion to help green be more aggro. (12 years ago.)
Warden of Arges KS Power changed from 2 to 3; Toughness changed from 4 to 3 (12 years ago.)
Warden of Arges SOK I see no problem with Foresight and Portent on the same card considering the can't interact. I'd like to make this guy a 3/3 rather than 2/4 as green is going to be our aggro colour. (12 years ago.)
Warden of Arges KS Though Foresight and Portent seem kind of redundant together, this is either giving you Foresight when you don't have it or being cast off the top when you do. (12 years ago.)
Warden of Arges KS New card: 3G Creature - Cyclops C Foresight (Play with the top card of your library revealed) Portent 3G (If this is face up and on top of your library, you may play it for its portent cost.) 2/4 (12 years ago.)
Evervine SOK Oh crap your right, forgot it was supposed to be Lurking with no keyword! (12 years ago.)
Evervine SOK Text changed from Haste When ~ is put into a graveyard from anywhere, shuffle it into its owner's library While you're searching your library, you may cast ~ from your library. to Haste When ~ is put into a graveyard from anywhere, shuffle it into its owner's library While you're searching your library, you may cast ~ from your library for GGG. (12 years ago.)
Evervine KS True, though that does make it a bit expensive to play out of the library as you have to pay for the search effect as well as this. I wonder if it would be too good with a 1 mana cost reduction... (12 years ago.)
Evervine SOK I think the Panglacial Wurm templating is easier. Means it is played, and can be countered too.So Baker won't be too mad it is unstoppable (12 years ago.)
Evervine SOK Text changed from Haste When ~ is put into a graveyard from anywhere, shuffle it into its owner's library While you're searching your library, if ~ is in your library you may pay GGG. If you do, put ~ onto the battlefield. to Haste When ~ is put into a graveyard from anywhere, shuffle it into its owner's library While you're searching your library, you may cast ~ from your library. (12 years ago.)
Evervine KS Removing Lurking as a keyword. (12 years ago.)
Evervine KS Text changed from Haste When ~ is put into a graveyard from anywhere, shuffle it into its owner's library Lurking - GGG (While you're searching your library, you may cast ~ from your library for its Lurking cost.) to Haste When ~ is put into a graveyard from anywhere, shuffle it into its owner's library While you're searching your library, if ~ is in your library you may pay GGG. If you do, put ~ onto the battlefield. (12 years ago.)
Vine Bonder KS First stab at a new common to add some extra Portent to green. (12 years ago.)
Vine Bonder KS New card: 1G Creature - Human Druid C When Vine Bonder enters the battlefield, put a +1/+1 counter on target creature. If Vine Bonder was played for its Portent cost, instead put two +1/+1 counters on that creature. Portent 1G (If this is face up and on top of your library, you may play it for its portent cost.) 1/1 (12 years ago.)
Bearback Rider KS This could be a Portent creature, though that would make him pretty wordy. He'll probably end up being replaced with a common Flash & Portent creature anyway. (12 years ago.)
Graven Servitor KS This has actually turned out to be really good - mostly because he's a big guy in a world of small ones. (12 years ago.)
Mass Conscription SOK So I think I managed to portent this 3 times last night. Was pretty good, but twice it cost the same as the actual creature I fetched, but was at least a free card while setting up my library. You have to be real careful how you stack your library as it is easy to forget you won't be able to portent the guy you leave on top unless you have loads of mana. Didn't seem broken, but then we have no Titans or 8/9 drops in our set so hard to break. (12 years ago.)
Careful Cultivation SOK Liked this. (12 years ago.)
Ghastlord of the Black Tower SOK Slimming a little to appease Baker (12 years ago.)
Ghastlord of the Black Tower SOK Cost changed from 4BB to 3BB; Power changed from 5 to 4; Toughness changed from 5 to 4 (12 years ago.)
Amorphous Mass PH how about swapping the the mass and the revealed card until EoT if it's a permanent (& give haste if a creature) - that way you get the sweet ETB effects (12 years ago.)
Amorphous Mass KS Might make sense to exile since it's not copying things that are in play. Would be a bit awkward to exile a sweet ETB effect, though! Copying multiple things at once would cause way too many rules headaches and is definitely out! (12 years ago.)
Amorphous Mass PH if it exiles can it be a copy of all permanents that it is exiling or is that far too insane? (12 years ago.)
Amorphous Mass AC If the ability is not EOT, may I suggest exiling the card so players can remember what he is at all times? (12 years ago.)
Blind the Eye KS Changed back to the original one card so we can keep the awesome name. The best use is ruining Portent anyway! (12 years ago.)
Blind the Eye KS Text changed from Target player puts the top card of their library into their graveyard. Target player puts the top card of their library into their graveyard. Draw a card. to Target player puts the top card of their library into their graveyard. Draw a card. (12 years ago.)
Amorphous Mass KS Pretty sure I didn't intend for it to hit lands originally - and not sure how useful it is to do so - but I guess for now we can let it do that and see how it works. (12 years ago.)
Amorphous Mass KS Text changed from 1U: Reveal the top card of your library. If a non-land permanent is revealed this way, ~ becomes a copy of that permanent and gains this ability. to 1U: Reveal the top card of your library. If a permanent is revealed this way, ~ becomes a copy of that permanent and gains this ability. (12 years ago.)
Amorphous Mass TB I kind of like him turning into a land EOT and then accelerating out your bomb, then next turn becoming a creature or something. Might be OP but the weirdness is actually goodness IMHO. (12 years ago.)
Mirror Ghoul TB I think losing all abilities is unnecessary as it is basically always going to die? (12 years ago.)
Radical Mage TB Text changed from When ~ enters the battlefield you may discard up to two cards then draw that many cards. to When ~ enters the battlefield you may discard a card. If you do, draw a card. (12 years ago.)
Blind the Eye TB Maybe just make it one mill? (12 years ago.)
Blind the Eye SOK Also "Blind the Eye" flavour is kind of weird now it can blind two eyes... (12 years ago.)
Radical Mage SOK I was thinking about this guy last night too. He is definitely the sleeper best common in red, way better than looting charm most of the time. I agree he would be fine either as a 2/2 with single loot, or maybe a 1/1 with double loot. I think single loot and 2/2 is best as then he is viable for red aggro too. (12 years ago.)
Mirror Ghoul AC How about making it lose all abilities as well? Or is that too strong? (12 years ago.)
Amorphous Mass KS Good point - him turning into a land does seem a bit weird! (12 years ago.)
Amorphous Mass KS Text changed from 1U: Reveal the top card of your library. If a permanent is revealed this way, Amorphous Mass becomes a copy of that permanent and gains this ability. to 1U: Reveal the top card of your library. If a non-land permanent is revealed this way, ~ becomes a copy of that permanent and gains this ability. (12 years ago.)
Seerlord of the Blue Tower KS Perhaps he could have the Portent cost reduction ability? Then he'd do something even for cards that already have Portent. (12 years ago.)
Amorphous Mass AC Maybe make it non-land permanent to prevent weird shenanigans. I think the rules manager will commit suicide once this becomes a land-enchantment-artifact-planeswalker-creature. (12 years ago.)
Ghastlord of the Black Tower TB If he was a 4/3 he could only trade with a Soulsong-ed Exaltation of Larks or an active Mindleech Avian. Yet he still blocks all fliers in the format and gets in for four and has a highly relevant ability (can draw you four cards in the right deck!) (12 years ago.)
Prophet of Doom TB I think this guy is nailed on for inclusion. Less annoying than your average wrath effect, and with drama. (12 years ago.)
Amorphous Mass TB This card is kind of ridiculous but fun. And very powerful once you have foresight going. (12 years ago.)
Seerlord of the Blue Tower TB I wonder if this guy suffers from the same problem as Spellslinging Augur. The themes of the set push you to make his ability worse in deckbuilding (because you max out on cards that have Portent anyway). (12 years ago.)
Blind the Eye KS I ended up using this to ruin Portent set-ups so many times. Even if it was for the original one card it would still be great. This effect can't really be said to be overpowered, though! (12 years ago.)
Cyclopean Commander KS Could always remove the Foresight so you have to work for the ability. (12 years ago.)
Ruin Forager KS Let's try him this way, then, so he helps by accelerating and enabling Foresight but never in combat. (12 years ago.)
Ruin Forager KS Text changed from T: Add G to your mana pool. If the top card of your library is a face up creature card, ~ has Deathtouch. to Foresight (Play with the top card of your library revealed) T: Add G to your mana pool.; Power changed from 1 to 0 (12 years ago.)
Radical Mage KS This is really good despite not looking like much. The double looters are ridiculous with Mindstorm and graveyard interactions. Looting Charm is probably fine because it costs a card, but this comes with a 2/2 for only one more mana! I think he should be reduced to only loot once since increasing the cost makes him pretty useless at getting madness and/or mindstorm. That or cut him completely... (12 years ago.)
Unravelling Thoughts SOK making it less likely to be splashed (12 years ago.)
Unravelling Thoughts SOK Cost changed from 3U to 2UU (12 years ago.)
Horrifying Vision SOK The thinking that it is an enabler for B & R opponents isn't quite right in my opinion, but I do agree that it is fairly unexciting and will probably get cut from maindecks. Perhaps we can shift one of our popular uncommons back down to C to fill its slot? (12 years ago.)
Ruin Forager SOK Costing 1G would make him a crappy accelerator though. I kind of preferred the Foresight version, as it gave you a really cheap enabler. Then you could make it a 0/1 for G and it would probably be fine. (12 years ago.)
Cyclopean Commander SOK we can always tinker with the numbers a little if we are worried. Make him a 4/4 that gives +1/+1? (12 years ago.)
Ransack the Shelves SOK upping cost, since it is way better than Divination (12 years ago.)
Ransack the Shelves SOK Cost changed from 2R to 3R; Text changed from Look at the top 4 cards of your library. Separate them into two piles. Randomly choose one pile and put it in your hand, put the other in your graveyard. Madness— Discard a Card to Look at the top 4 cards of your library. Separate them into two piles. Randomly choose one pile and put it in your hand, put the other in your graveyard. Madness— Discard a Card (12 years ago.)
Dalgath Raider SOK toning down to 3 cards (12 years ago.)
Dalgath Raider SOK Text changed from When ~ is put into a graveyard from anywhere, target player puts the top 4 cards of their library into their graveyard. to When ~ is put into a graveyard from anywhere, target player puts the top 3 cards of their library into their graveyard. (12 years ago.)
Spellslinging Augur SOK The cost reduction might be a really cool effect, makes him better in the UG deck but slightly worse in the other colour combinations. (12 years ago.)
Pageflame KS This was really awesome against multiple 1-toughness guys, but really terrible when one sat in my hand against Simon's board of 4-toughness monsters. This mostly seems to do 1-3 damage, which is totally fine. (12 years ago.)
Ruin Forager TB I find this guy somewhat off the charts. Accelerate you early, trade for their big guy late. Should cost 1G? (12 years ago.)
Cyclopean Commander TB Could definitely be toned down and still be good. He is both the enabler AND his pay off is super super good. On my watchlist! (12 years ago.)
Pageflame TB This is very good but it's a key card and we like it. I think? I didn't enjoy "kill your guy, kill your guy, oh and I have one spare to your face" last night but it was probably fun on the other side of the table! (12 years ago.)
Ransack the Shelves TB I actually think the way this plays out it is quite a lot better than Divination. It's more consistently "pretty good" than Divination and if you do truly need a miracle you can play that game too. I'd consider putting it to 3R where it is still very playable I think. (12 years ago.)
Deepwater Teachings TB Liked this. (12 years ago.)
Careful Cultivation TB Liked this. (12 years ago.)
Careful Cultivation TB Accelerates, color fixes, enables lurking, a reward for setting up foresight, and not completely busted. Awesome. (12 years ago.)
Deranged Librarian TB Pretty sure this guy is dangerously good. He's the same as the 0/1 only he has 2 power, you can't choose *not* to loot, and he draws you cards when you are hellbent. He is a rare, though, so maybe that is ok. I do *like* him a lot. (12 years ago.)
Goblin Archer TB The tricks Kieran got up to with this guy last night ("block with Flayed Sentry, regenerate him, before damage ping a Mitecrafting token and Flayed Sentry") was awesome. Great card. (12 years ago.)
Blind the Eye TB Simon mentioned that this is strictly better than Thought Scour which is itself strictly better than Mental Note. Maybe that is OK. Could bump to 1B? (12 years ago.)
Mitecrafting TB De-keywording Auspice as this is the only Auspice card now. Goblin Archer hates this guy! (12 years ago.)
Mitecrafting TB Text changed from Put a 0/1 colourless Homunculus Artifact Creature token onto the battlefield. Portent U (If this is face up and on top of your library, you may play it for its portent cost) Auspice (When you cast a spell from your library, if ~ is in your graveyard, you may put it on top of your library) to Put a 0/1 colourless Homunculus Artifact Creature token onto the battlefield. Portent U (If this is face up and on top of your library, you may play it for its portent cost) When you cast a spell from your library, if ~ is in your graveyard, you may put it on top of your library. (12 years ago.)
Horrifying Vision TB Maybe cut it as it is something of an enabler for B and R opponents? We can skip one traditional B thing at common without breaking Magic I think. Didn't play either from my Sealed pool in my B deck last night. (12 years ago.)
Horrifying Vision TB Disliked this. (12 years ago.)
Soulstoke Engine TB Type changed from Enchantment to Artifact (12 years ago.)
Ghastlord of the Black Tower TB I'd like him so much more without flying or if he were a little smaller. (12 years ago.)
Zealous Protector TB Feel free to change him as long as he retains First Strike and Lifelink! (12 years ago.)
Ancestral Odyssey TB I definitely think this is potentially OP. Maybe it's ok if some of our rares are like that? (12 years ago.)
Spellslinging Augur TB Foresight is a Portent enabler. The ability is better with non-Portent cards than with Portent cards. Is that enough of a reason to cut or change him? Ability could be "The Portent costs of cards you own is {1} less." instead? (12 years ago.)
Ransack the Shelves KS Played this today. Seems pretty good since it's mostly a divination that always gets something useful either way and you can gamble if you really need to. (12 years ago.)
Goblin Archer KS This guy is pretty awesome (12 years ago.)
Goblin Archer KS Liked this. (12 years ago.)
Dalgath Raider KS Four cards turned out to be a bit much in practice since it can target your opponent as well. Three would probably be fine. (12 years ago.)
Carromantic Candle SOK Really good as a cheap Enabler, that it was hard to kill was really good (12 years ago.)
Deepwater Teachings SOK Was a pretty cool tutor, you basically break even as it costs you are card but you get it back with the portent card you fetch. (12 years ago.)
Spellslinging Augur SOK Never used this guys ability at all. Almost all my spells had portent anyway. Seems like he should be good but I wished he was Tower Sentinels everytime (12 years ago.)
Think Fast SOK Probably the best U portent enabler, cheap and instant speed. Sets up creatures for green cyclops too. (12 years ago.)
Ancestral Odyssey SOK From averageness to stupendous all thanks to portent. Infinite combo with Mind Welder (12 years ago.)
Impossible Horror SOK This guy is a pretty cool enabler, liked it a lot! (12 years ago.)
Centaur Nullifier KS I really think this should have Portent - especially as it's a great Preceptor target. (12 years ago.)
Centaur Nullifier KS Text changed from When ~ enters the battlefield destroy target artifact or enchantment. to When ~ enters the battlefield destroy target artifact or enchantment. Portent 1GG (If this is face up and on top of your library, you may play it for its portent cost.) (12 years ago.)
Zealous Protector KS Just realized this guy is now just an exact reprint of that Knight of Meadowgrain. Boo! (12 years ago.)
Ruin Forager KS Retired the other two for now - we can always bring them back again! (12 years ago.)
Rambunctious Cyclops KS This guy is certainly more exciting than the regenerate one. (12 years ago.)
Embryo Thief KS Foetal Immolater is even more creepy than the original name! (12 years ago.)
Rambunctious Cyclops SOK I think we can only fit in one of these medium/big Cyclops. So either this or the regenerator make it. I prefer this guy. (12 years ago.)
Embryo Thief SOK Other potential names: Primogeniture Harvester, Scourge of the Unborn, Foetal Immolater (12 years ago.)
Embryo Thief SOK Name changed from Cyclopean Nihilator to Embryo Thief (12 years ago.)
Dalgath Ghastcaller SOK Black is the tertiary Portent colour, yet only has 2 at common and 1 at rare. Adding it to this for now. (12 years ago.)
Dalgath Ghastcaller SOK Text changed from When ~ enters the battlefield, target creature gets -X/-X until end of turn, where X is the number of creature cards in your graveyard. to When ~ enters the battlefield, target creature gets -X/-X until end of turn, where X is the number of creature cards in your graveyard. Portent 3BB (12 years ago.)
Ghastlord of the Black Tower SOK Text changed from Flying When ~ enters the battlefield, you may search your library for a card, then shuffle your library and put that card on top of it. If ~ was played for its portent cost, put the card in your hand instead. Portent 2BB (If this is face up and on top of your library, you may play it for its portent cost.) to Flying When ~ enters the battlefield, search your library for a card and put it into your graveyard, then shuffle your library. If ~ was played for its portent cost, also search your library for a card and put it on top of your library. Portent 2BB (12 years ago.)
Soulstoke Engine SOK Yeah I realised that we basically just snuck a white card into the artifact section.Now a pretty good card for black too. (12 years ago.)
Soulstoke Engine SOK Text changed from Whenever you gain life you may pay 2. If you do, ~ deals 2 damage to target creature or player. to Whenever you gain life you may pay 2. If you do, ~ deals 2 damage to target creature or player. T, Sacrifice a Creature: Gain 1 life (12 years ago.)
Soulstoke Engine KS Main issue with moving it to Artifact is that only the White deck will really want it since it does nothing for the other decks. Maybe it should also have "T, Sacrifice a Creature: Gain 1 life" as well so it becomes playable in pretty much any deck but amazing in the White deck? (12 years ago.)
Soulstoke Engine SOK Moving out of red, as we have a ton of red rares, and very few artifact rares to choose from. (12 years ago.)
Soulstoke Engine SOK Name changed from Soulstoking to Soulstoke Engine; Cost changed from 2R to 5 (12 years ago.)
Ruin Forager KS Here's the guy with the combined abilities. Might even be too good! (12 years ago.)
Ruin Forager KS New card: G Creature - Cyclops C T: Add G to your mana pool. If the top card of your library is a face up creature card, Ruin Forager has Deathtouch. 1/1 (12 years ago.)
Mass Conscription KS The extra Portent ability is pretty crazy! Interested to see how this plays out. (12 years ago.)
Ancestral Odyssey KS That Portent ability is pretty awesome. If only it wouldn't be totally busted if you could have both... (12 years ago.)
Dalgath Thug KS Not sure how I never noticed the P/T change here, but his new stats seem a bit odd on a Deathtouch guy since it's mostly good on little guys who trade up or high-toughness guys who survive combat. A 4/2 can trade with most things in the set anyway! (12 years ago.)
Transubstantiate TB Disliked this. (12 years ago.)
Forgotten Ritual TB Liked this. (12 years ago.)
Forgotten Ritual TB This is actually pretty sweet. (12 years ago.)
Deferred Pleasure TB Probably either broken or unplayable depending on where it sits and how it is costed. It does radically alter pick orders, though, and anything that radically alters pick orders tends to be a good thing (Spider Spawning, Dampen Thought, Burning Vengeance, Bloodthirst in M12). (12 years ago.)
Ghastlord of the Black Tower TB It's my role to fight against all large evasive creatures at any rarity but I don't mind you sticking up for them :) (12 years ago.)
Ancestral Odyssey TB Definitely worth trying. (12 years ago.)
Ancestral Odyssey SOK More interesting? (Rules templating nightmare aside) (12 years ago.)
Ancestral Odyssey SOK Text changed from An opponent chooses one — You draw 3 cards; or you take an additional turn after this one. to An opponent chooses one — You draw 3 cards; or you take an additional turn after this one. If ~ was played for its portent cost, instead you choose. Portent UUU (12 years ago.)
Ghastlord of the Black Tower SOK While I agree with some of your views on this Tom (tapping out to put a Portent card on top is pretty crappy), I'm not so sure that a 5/5 flier for 6 at rare is really breaking limited too hard. We need to have some top end creatures in our set, so that green has something to ramp too, and control decks have something to finish with. Everything we have so far is pretty much weenie or midrange, while not being all that aggressive. This guy does need some fixes though (12 years ago.)
Mass Conscription SOK Text changed from Search your library for any number of creature cards, shuffle your library and then put those cards on top in any order. If ~ was played for its portent cost, instead put one into play an the rest on top of your library in any order. Portent 3GG to Search your library for any number of creature cards, shuffle your library and then put those cards on top in any order. If ~ was played for its portent cost, instead put one into play and the rest on top of your library in any order. Portent 3GG (12 years ago.)
Mass Conscription SOK I feel that each colour should get a big splashy portent card at rare. Not sure this is it, but modifying an existing card rather than making a new one. Kind of half a Tooth and Nail. (12 years ago.)
Mass Conscription SOK Text changed from Search your library for any number of creature cards, shuffle your library and then put those cards on top in any order. to Search your library for any number of creature cards, shuffle your library and then put those cards on top in any order. If ~ was played for its portent cost, instead put one into play an the rest on top of your library in any order. Portent 3GG (12 years ago.)
Deferred Pleasure SOK This card seems great..in Green or Blue. Having it cost double black is going to make it pretty much unplayable I think. (12 years ago.)
Forgotten Ritual SOK Liked this. (12 years ago.)
Forgotten Ritual SOK Hah of course, forgot about the R from going to graveyard even on normal cast! I like it even more now. (12 years ago.)
Forgotten Ritual KS It is still a Pyretic Ritual when you cast it, so it might have some narrow applications outside of getting a free red mana when discarded! (12 years ago.)
Forgotten Ritual SOK I think this might be better than it looks, certainly helps with casting Call the Titans. Obviously a total blank if cast from hand, which galls me a little. (12 years ago.)
Forgotten Ritual PH (although it's pretty terrible in practise, without a storm deck around) (12 years ago.)
Forgotten Ritual PH Liked this. (12 years ago.)
Forgotten Ritual PH Me likey (12 years ago.)
Forgotten Ritual KS There's a spare red slot. Makes looters into one-shot mana accelerators. Not so great if you have to cast it though! (12 years ago.)
Forgotten Ritual KS New card: 1R Instant C Add RR to your mana pool. When Forgotten Ritual is put into your graveyard from anywhere, add R to your mana pool. (12 years ago.)
Mitecrafting KS Moved to common to fill a hole there (13 years ago.)
Mitecrafting KS Rarity changed from U to C (13 years ago.)
Soulstair Guide KS This should probably be how this works else two make an infinite life combo with the Soul Warden guy! (13 years ago.)
Soulstair Guide KS Text changed from When ~ enters the battlefield, you may exile another target creature, then return it to the battlefield under its owner's control. to When ~ enters the battlefield, you may exile another target creature. Return it to the battlefield at the beginning of the next end step. (13 years ago.)
Transubstantiate SOK Liked this. (13 years ago.)
Transubstantiate SOK Oblation mk II (13 years ago.)
Transubstantiate PH A white beast within, cool (13 years ago.)
Transubstantiate PH Liked this. (13 years ago.)
Transubstantiate KS My attempt at a 'fixed' Censure. Kills any permanent but gives them some flying guys in exchange. Or just use it on your own stuff... (13 years ago.)
Transubstantiate KS New card: 2W Instant U Destroy target nonland permanent. That permanent's controller puts two 1/1 white Bird creature tokens with Flying onto the battlefield. (13 years ago.)
Stalking Boar KS Given him shroud and changed the name since he's unlikely to be doing much crashing now! (13 years ago.)
Stalking Boar KS Name changed from Crashing Boar to Stalking Boar; Text changed from If the top card of your library is revealed, and a creature card, ~ gets +1/+1 Portent 2GG (If this is face up and on top of your library, you may play it for its portent cost.) to If the top card of your library is revealed, and a creature card, ~ has Shroud Portent 2GG (If this is face up and on top of your library, you may play it for its portent cost.) (13 years ago.)
Stalking Boar SOK Yeah certainly, I vote shroud. Down with hexproof! (13 years ago.)
Stalking Boar KS Like this guy as a combined Portent/Top Card guy since you get something useful no matter when you get Foresight. Would prefer him to have a more minor ability on the reveal since getting a 5/4 without it costing a card seems pretty strong. Possibly a good place for Shroud/Hexproof? (13 years ago.)
Crashing Boar SOK Text changed from If the top card of your library is revealed, and a creature card, ~ gets +1/+1 (If this is face up and on top of your library, you may play it for its portent cost.) to If the top card of your library is revealed, and a creature card, ~ gets +1/+1 Portent 2GG (If this is face up and on top of your library, you may play it for its portent cost.) (13 years ago.)
Stalking Boar SOK Realised Blundering Cyclops already has the conditional trample. Maybe just make this a power booster (13 years ago.)
Crashing Boar SOK Cost changed from 3G to 2GG; Text changed from If the top card of your library is revealed, and a creature card, ~ gets trample Portent 3G to If the top card of your library is revealed, and a creature card, ~ gets +1/+1 (If this is face up and on top of your library, you may play it for its portent cost.) (13 years ago.)
Stalking Boar SOK Potentially filling last green creature slot (13 years ago.)
Crashing Boar SOK New card: 3G Creature - Boar C If the top card of your library is revealed, and a creature card, Crashing Boar gets trample Portent 3G 4/3 (13 years ago.)
Evervine GG Liked this. (13 years ago.)
Centaur Nullifier KS Green could do with some more Portent and this gets my vote to have it. (13 years ago.)
Arena Champion KS Buffed to a 2/3 so he can actually survive a few fights and increased his cost, but removed his own foresight ability so you actually have to work for it. (13 years ago.)
Arena Champion KS Cost changed from 1G to 2G; Text changed from Foresight (Play with the top card of your library revealed) If the top card of your library is a creature card, ~ has "T: ~ fights target creature" to If the top card of your library is a face up creature card, ~ has "T: ~ fights target creature"; Toughness changed from 2 to 3 (13 years ago.)
Ambassadorial Garb KS I know Wizards isn't a theme any more, but this Protection is really relevant in this format and the +1/+1 is the good part of this anyway. Upped the equip cost slightly because the ability is a bit better. (13 years ago.)
Ambassadorial Garb KS Name changed from Wizarding Staff to Ambassadorial Garb; Text changed from Equipped Creature gets +1/+1 If Equipped Creature has Foresight it has Shroud Equip 1 to Equipped Creature gets +1/+1 and has Protection from Wizards Equip 2 (13 years ago.)
Mindleech Avian PH yeah that could be good, or have it always fly and just get bigger for simplicity? (13 years ago.)
Mindleech Avian KS Can we change the ability on this so it gets +1/+1 and Flying whenever you cast the top spell? Would be worse generally but really good when you chain Auspices. (13 years ago.)
Mitecrafting KS Adding Reminder Text (13 years ago.)
Mitecrafting KS Text changed from Put a 0/1 colourless Homunculus Artifact Creature token onto the battlefield. Portent U Auspice (When you cast a spell from your library, if ~ is in your graveyard, you may put it on top of your library) to Put a 0/1 colourless Homunculus Artifact Creature token onto the battlefield. Portent U (If this is face up and on top of your library, you may play it for its portent cost) Auspice (When you cast a spell from your library, if ~ is in your graveyard, you may put it on top of your library) (13 years ago.)
Embryo Thief TB I hate this name, btw. If we actually cut Corrupt Seer we could steal that. Otherwise how about Body Collector or Grave Filler (too literal!) or Corpse Reader. (13 years ago.)
Embryo Thief TB I'm not sure that this guy and Corrupt Seer are all that similar. Yes, they both have Foresight. But this guy makes your draw *worse* to drain and Corrupt Seer costs you life to make it better. Corrupt Seer at Rare and 1B might work, though :) (13 years ago.)
Mind Broken Mage TB Rarity changed from R to U (13 years ago.)
Soulstoking TB Rarity changed from U to R (13 years ago.)
Mitecrafting KS If Auspice ends up being too good, it could be reworded as "When you cast a spell from your library, if ~ is in your graveyard, you may cast it from your graveyard". That's probably a better way of doing it, but I just thought it would be pretty good to put a bunch of cards back on your library then chain them back out again! (13 years ago.)
Embryo Thief SOK the joke wore thin pretty quickly (13 years ago.)
Cyclopean Nihilator SOK Name changed from Nihilator Cyclopean Undertaker Unnatural Selector to Cyclopean Nihilator (13 years ago.)
Mitecrafting SOK Ah I think I misunderstood your comment. I see what you are saying about only able to do it in the one turn cycle. Once you draw the one on top of your library you need any portent card to start the cycle again for that turn. Yes maybe they are okay. Instant speed ones are still potentially dangerous :-) (13 years ago.)
Mitecrafting SOK Let me walk through it so I understand how Auspice works. Setup: you have 1 Mitecrafting on top of your library and 1 in the graveyard, you have 4 untapped Islands and a Foresight card 1. Play Mitecrafting from top of library, Auspice from one in the yard triggers 2. Put Mitecrafting from yard on top of library 3. Resolve original Mitecrafting 4. Repeat process three more times (13 years ago.)
Mitecrafting KS be a bit good if you can set it up - but are loads of 0/1s really worth never having another draw? As long as they're not crazy effects we're probably okay. Playtesting will reveal all! (13 years ago.)
Mitecrafting KS I think they'd suck a bit if you only had Auspice and you couldn't cast them from the top. Also you seem to think that you can infinitely chain Auspice spells if you have two but that can never happen provided they're all sorceries as even if you chain two into each other only one ends up on top of your library and you end up drawing it. If you had three you could set up a chain that way but then you'd never draw another card again so it may (13 years ago.)
Embryo Thief SOK Like the new name! (13 years ago.)
Nihilator Cyclopean Undertaker Unnatural Selector SOK Name changed from Abortionist to Nihilator Cyclopean Undertaker Unnatural Selector (13 years ago.)
Mitecrafting SOK These 1 mana Portent+Auspice spells all look pretty scary to me as with two copies you can repeat them for as long as you have mana and Foresight, each turn. While this one doesn't look as oppressive as the tap one, it still seems pretty strong. Is it worth experimenting with cards that only have Auspice and not Portent or are they rubbish? (13 years ago.)
Mitecrafting PH Liked this. (13 years ago.)
Mitecrafting KS Considering bringing back Auspice to help Blue focus on spells over creatures. This makes loads of chump-blockers. Woo-hoo! (Pretty sweet with Vault Prophet, though!) (13 years ago.)
Mitecrafting KS New card: U Sorcery U Put a 0/1 colourless Homunculus Artifact Creature token onto the battlefield. Portent U Auspice (When you cast a spell from your library, if Mitecrafting is in your graveyard, you may put it on top of your library) (13 years ago.)
Dalgath Ghastcaller PH Been thinking about this, maybe this actually needs to be another enters the GY trigger. I'll make another card to illustrate. (13 years ago.)
Portentious Shrike PH Yeah I think this is the Errant Ephemeron of the set, definitely what Blue needs. (13 years ago.)
Embryo Thief PH Name suggestions : Nihilator Cyclopean Undertaker Unnatural Selector (13 years ago.)
Mind Broken Mage SOK Do we want to move him to uncommon then, so there is a good chance of always seeing at least 1 in a draft? (13 years ago.)
Portentious Shrike KS I can't understand why this isn't an absolute certain inclusion. He's the signature Portent creature, he makes Portent a viable archetype by himself, and he gives blue some actual board presence that none of its other cards can match. (13 years ago.)
Embryo Thief KS Absolutely fits in everything. The name is still kind of disgusting, though. (13 years ago.)
Soulstoke Engine SOK I still think we should make this an artifact since we have holes in the skeleton there, and this does nothing for red at all. (13 years ago.)
Corrupt Seer SOK I think Abortionist over this guy. Could always move Corrupt Seer to rare for now to see if there is room there? (13 years ago.)
Embryo Thief SOK I'm not sure we can fit both Abortionist and Corrupt Seer into B uncommons. They are filling very similar roles of foresight enabling and top of deck manipulation. Only Abortionist helps with B self mill and creatures in graveyard theme, so he would get my vote over Corrupt Seer. (13 years ago.)
Soulstoke Engine KS Surely this can move to rare? We don't want multiples showing up in drafts because it only works in one specific archetype but it makes a great build-around card for that archetype so it's pretty much exactly what we want in rare. (13 years ago.)
Simple Offering TB Cost changed from 2(G/W) to 2G (13 years ago.)
Great Tower Bat TB OK that just reads terribly! Trying it with 1 life. (13 years ago.)
Great Tower Bat TB Text changed from Flying Pay 2 life, discard a card: Regenerate ~. to Flying Pay 1 life, discard a card: Regenerate ~. (13 years ago.)
Soulstoke Engine TB OK after review I am wondering if we could lose this and go for a looting spell, Echo of the Phoenix and Empty the Libraries as the three R uncommons. Definitely not what I had planned but might actually make more sense. (13 years ago.)
Great Tower Bat TB Try it like this? (13 years ago.)
Great Tower Bat TB Text changed from Flying Discard a card: Regenerate ~. to Flying Pay 2 life, discard a card: Regenerate ~. (13 years ago.)
Ransack the Shelves TB This is battling with Disdainful Research, Raid the Library, Burn the Library and Echo of the Phoenix after Soulstoking and Empty the Libraries take 2 of 3 slots. (13 years ago.)
Empty the Libraries TB 100% in as one of the three noncreature R uncommons. (13 years ago.)
Soulstoke Engine TB Nailed on as one of the three R uncommon non-creatures for me. (13 years ago.)
Goblin Archer TB This guy is in for me as one of the three R uncommon creatures. (13 years ago.)
Dalgath Ghastcaller TB Not in my top 5 B uncommon creatures and we only have room for 3. (13 years ago.)
Embryo Thief TB Probably the third B uncommon creatures for me. (13 years ago.)
Corrupt Seer TB One of the three B uncommon creatures for me. (13 years ago.)
Mirror Ghoul TB This guy makes my 3 B uncommon creatures. (13 years ago.)
Great Tower Bat TB In my limited experience 2 life is the least amount you can use because 1 life is basically negligible. But this is in addition to another real cost so maybe. (13 years ago.)
Looting Charm TB I don't think we have room. It's cutting we want, not adding! (13 years ago.)
Looting Charm PH Do we need charms in the other colours? (13 years ago.)
Great Tower Bat PH I think adding a life cost would be best. The AVR one is 4 life, so maybe 1 life and a card? (13 years ago.)
Great Tower Bat KS If you discard a land take 3 damage? (13 years ago.)
Great Tower Bat TB Discard a card, pay 1 life or pay 2 life? (13 years ago.)
Deepwater Teachings TB Vampiric Tutor is restricted in Legacy! (13 years ago.)
Looting Charm TB Text changed from Choose one - Target creature gains haste until end of turn; ~ deals 1 damage to target creature; or discard up to two cards then draw that many cards. to Choose one - Destroy target noncreature artifact; ~ deals 1 damage to target creature; or discard up to two cards then draw that many cards. (13 years ago.)
Tomb Whispers SOK changing mana cost to make it Bakerproof (13 years ago.)
Tomb Whispers SOK Cost changed from 2B to 1BB (13 years ago.)
Looting Charm SOK I like Kieran's suggestion of changing the haste mode to destroy non-creature artifact. Keeps all the modes useful and will maybe make you hesitate from looting if you know your opponent has an equipment. (13 years ago.)
Great Tower Bat SOK So we have a few options to fix this: 1. add a mana cost to the regen 2. make the cost discard 2 cards 3. change the p/t 4. introduce more answers through other cards (13 years ago.)
Lostsight Counsel SOK some reminder text as I'm sure Mills won't be the only person wanting to try it. (13 years ago.)
Lostsight Counsel SOK Text changed from Draw a card You may cast ~ from outside the game. to Draw a card You may cast ~ from outside the game. (You must own ~ to play this ability) (13 years ago.)
Deepwater Teachings KS Cutting the cost since it's basically just a worse Vamp Tutor! (13 years ago.)
Deepwater Teachings KS Cost changed from 3U to 1U (13 years ago.)
Deepwater Teachings SOK Mills and I played with this card last night, while okay it wasn't that exciting. Maybe if we have some busted uncommon or rare with portent this will spike in value (13 years ago.)
Bound to Serve SOK I too like it in principle, but have a feeling this is on the 'cut' shortlist (13 years ago.)
Reverent Captain SOK I had to work pretty hard to set this up. Without Sunsoul Lark, actually setting up Soulsong was pretty tricky. I had to wait until I had two creatures I could cast in a turn so I could get the trigger from the Soul Warden guy to allow for the Soulsong on this. He only becomes really good when combined with the Astral Slide guy. Could still move to rare if we kind find space for him at uncommon. (13 years ago.)
Evervine SOK Liked this. (13 years ago.)
Great Tower Bat TB We could also make him a 2/1, or add a mana cost, or both. We can't make him a rare because the possibility of bat versus bat battle has to exist! (13 years ago.)
Radical Mage TB I think random discard is just awful. If you are holding Empty the Libraries you can't cast this guy even though he's an awesome enabler for it. I prefer reducing stats over any other change but let's keep him as is for now? (13 years ago.)
Impatient Mage TB Should we buff him from 0/1? (13 years ago.)
Evervine KS A Rare Lurking creature. (13 years ago.)
Evervine KS New card: 3GG Creature - Plant R Haste When Evervine is put into a graveyard from anywhere, shuffle it into its owner's library Lurking - GGG (While you're searching your library, you may cast Evervine from your library for its Lurking cost.) 4/3 (13 years ago.)
Prescience Wand SOK Wasn't that great in my 7 creature deck, but still did good work once my 2/2's and 2/1's couldn't attack profitably. Still a cheap crystal ball once equipped. (13 years ago.)
Prophet of Doom TB Text changed from Play with the top card of your library revealed. All creatures get -X/-X where X is the converted mana cost of top card of your library. to Foresight (Play with the top card of your library revealed.) All creatures get -X/-X where X is the converted mana cost of top card of your library. (13 years ago.)
Seerlord of the Blue Tower TB Text changed from Play with the top card of your library revealed. Nonland cards you own that aren't on the battlefield have Portent. The Portent cost is equal to its mana cost. to Foresight (Play with the top card of your library revealed.) Nonland cards you own that aren't on the battlefield have Portent. The Portent cost is equal to its mana cost. (13 years ago.)
Tower Sentinels TB Text changed from You play with the top card of your library revealed to Foresight (You play with the top card of your library revealed.) (13 years ago.)
Bloodseer TB Would look at cutting this guy as off-theme and off-color Cyclops given that we possibly have an excess of Foresight now. (13 years ago.)
Mind's Eye Bowman TB Name changed from Cyclops Archer to Mind's Eye Bowman; Type changed from Creature - Cyclops to Creature - Cyclops Archer (13 years ago.)
Mind's Eye Bowman TB The flavor is that when his seeing-the-future is working well he is able to shoot down fliers but when it isn't his eyesight isn't good enough to do it. Strongest argument for adding a Flavor Text box to Multiverse so far ... (13 years ago.)
Prescience Wand TB How did this play last night? I saw Simon had it out at one point. (13 years ago.)
Pageflame TB No really interested in weakening this from the as-printed version. It's a key card! (13 years ago.)
Pageflame TB That's how Louis wanted to play it, too. I wonder if it should be "spells you cast and cards you discard" or if that just makes it more broken than Storm and kind of ridiculous. (13 years ago.)
Pageflame KS It should only count discards, not spells you cast. Aside from your rampant cheating I still wonder if this is a bit good. Maybe restrict to creatures only? (13 years ago.)
Arena Champion KS Was considering putting this up to a 2/3. There are loads of little guys he can then pick off and he's awesome with the aura or some equipment. (13 years ago.)
Pageflame SOK Just realised I might have slightly misplayed Mindstorm last night. In a turn where I cast Looting Charm, discarding 2 cards, and then Raid the Library discarding another 2, I Pageflamed for 7. (4 discards, 2 spells in gy, and 1 from Pageflame). On second read I shouldn't have counted the spells that went to the graveyard from the stack? (13 years ago.)
Dreamriver Boa SOK Well I think he basically has Islandwalk and Forestwalk, but not 100% of the time. I think he is fine. He's certainly not as irritating as invisible stalker (13 years ago.)
Wizarding Staff TB Text changed from Equipped Creature gets +1/+1 If Equipped Creature is a Wizard it has Shroud Equip 1 to Equipped Creature gets +1/+1 If Equipped Creature has Foresight it has Shroud Equip 1 (13 years ago.)
Banish TB Cost changed from 2U to 1U; Text changed from Return target nonland permanent to its owner's hand. If you control a Wizard, draw a card. to Return target nonland permanent to its owner's hand. Portent 1U (13 years ago.)
Bearback Rider TB I like him as a 1/1. (13 years ago.)
Dreamriver Boa TB Still not keen on hosers although this guy is plenty playable in any scenario. I spent a LOT of time with the top card of my library revealed last night. Maybe too good? (13 years ago.)
Arena Champion TB Is Fight on a 2/2 interesting? We could make him rare and have Ulvenwald Tracker's ability when a creature is revealed. That would be fairly bomby though. (13 years ago.)
Impatient Mage KS I prefer this straight-up looter to Researcher because he doesn't do random discard. Red isn't really trying to be Hellbent in this set - if anything you want to hold multiple cards in hand so you can discard them all in one go for a giant Mindstorm effect or Wastrel's Wrath. (13 years ago.)
Radical Mage PH Make the discard random? (13 years ago.)
Great Tower Bat PH It was a bit obnoxious, as late game you can hold back lands and essentially trade a land for their dude. Maybe lose flying? (13 years ago.)
Deepwater Grasper PH still think this should be a Jellyfish Wizard (13 years ago.)
Empty the Libraries TB We discussed making this a common. Possibly as a switch with Pageflame. (13 years ago.)
Impatient Mage SOK We already have a common red looter: Manic Researcher (13 years ago.)
Radical Mage SOK There is an argument that he should cost 2R, but you really need your looting spells to be low cost so that you can then cast your Empty the Libraries and pay for your Wastrel's Wrath triggers. I think he is okay as is, if we are really worried, can always make him a 2/1 or a 1/1. (13 years ago.)
Vital Librarian TB Could potentially bring the cost down now. (13 years ago.)
Bound to Serve TB I have still yet to see this played although I agree with the three likers in principle! (13 years ago.)
Reverent Captain TB Is this too bomby? Could go to rare? (13 years ago.)
Zealous Protector TB Making splashier for uncommon. (13 years ago.)
Zealous Protector TB Cost changed from 2W to WW; Toughness changed from 1 to 2 (13 years ago.)
Looting Charm TB If this "only has one mode" should we change it to a straight looting spell? I'm worried about Great Tower Bat but this is not a great answer anyway. (13 years ago.)
Radical Mage TB Does that mean he is too good? (13 years ago.)
Soulstoke Engine TB Searing Meditation is gone. This needs to be splashable. (13 years ago.)
Mind Broken Mage TB I've retired Wastrel's Wrath and Hissing Conspirator in favor of this guy. (13 years ago.)
Soulstoking TB Cost changed from 2RR to 2R; Text changed from Whenever you gain life, ~ deals 2 damage to target creature or player. to Whenever you gain life you may pay 2. If you do, ~ deals 2 damage to target creature or player. (13 years ago.)
Great Tower Bat TB But was it too good? Pretty sure Jim described this as, "obnoxious". (13 years ago.)
Ambassadorial Garb TB Needs to be cut or changed if we are dropping Wizards as a minor theme. (13 years ago.)
Banish TB Needs to be changed if we are dropping Wizards as a minor theme. (13 years ago.)
Mind Broken Mage SOK I only really transitioned into the red looting deck at the end of 2nd booster, so probably just missed him. Also there was a pack that had 4 red cards for the deck in it, so he may have been a casualty of that. I think he is probably the fairest version of the effect. (13 years ago.)
Impatient Mage TB Moving to common for now so the debate can be had: common/uncommon/cut. (13 years ago.)
Impatient Mage TB Rarity changed from U to C (13 years ago.)
Ancestral Odyssey TB I've had it cast against me three times and all three times it was the turn not even close so agree with the above analysis. (13 years ago.)
Lostsight Counsel TB Best thing about this card is Kieran forgetting to play it. It's clearly awesome and although it is kind of a gimmick I really do think it deserves a slot. Less points for Mills trying to rules lawyer that he was allowed to cast it from Kieran's sideboard ... :S (13 years ago.)
Ghastlord of the Black Tower TB First of all this guy is a 5/5 flier for 6. So he's a bomb right off the bat and I don't like bombs. He's also exceedingly wordy. Plus with all the Portent in the set it feels like he is doing Portent setup with his ETB effect but because you just tapped out/tapped low for a 5/5 flier it's really actually Vampiric Tutor. So you make a 5/5 flier and Vampiric Tutor but you feel cheated. And I'm pretty sure your opponent feels cheated, too! So that's my vote against or vote for changes at least. I must admit that this is exactly the kind of card that Wizards DOES print, but part of their reasoning for bombs like this in limited is that they give bad players wins against good players. For our intended audience that sounds like a bug not a feature. Note: this card was in my deck not my opponents' when I formed these opinions :) (13 years ago.)
Tomb Whispers SOK Shifting up to uncommon for now (13 years ago.)
Tomb Whispers SOK Rarity changed from C to U (13 years ago.)
Ancestral Odyssey SOK As much as I like the design of this card, I think that you almost always give them the turn. Maybe we'll see after another playtest. I also like how we almost have a cycle of triple of the same mana rares. (13 years ago.)
Spellslinging Augur SOK I like him too, especially as he provides the opposite effect of the green guy (creatures & lands), it is really nice to have the symmetry, in fact I think I'd like to make them both uncommon or both rare. (13 years ago.)
Tomb Whispers TB I think we're definitely concerned this is too good. I also got it confused with the 2B discard spell three times last night. Will be easier with art but if we change this it would be nice to change it off 2B for idiots like me! (13 years ago.)
Scrypulse TB Strong card, I think. It's hard to directly measure it's impact on the game but dropping three lands to the bottom and drawing Graveshade (fourth card) with eight creatures in the bin last night was pretty cool. (13 years ago.)
Ruminate TB Fills the slot. Solid. (13 years ago.)
Corrupt Seer TB I'm sad to say it but using this guy's ability is probably usually a bad idea! It really wants to be 1.5 life! Any chance we could make it "to graveyard" instead of "to bottom" or does that break him? I don't *think* we want to test 1 life ... just too strong then. I wonder if he shines in WB where you can gain some of the life you are burning? Still 100% definitely an inclusion for me but currently I don't see him as first pickable at all. (13 years ago.)
Deepwater Grasper TB Never sad to see this, yet he's not as good as Mist Raven or even Aether Adept, really. Definite inclusion. (13 years ago.)
Deepwater Grasper TB Liked this. (13 years ago.)
Time's Bondage TB Only got this out once last night and already had a Foresight effect in play so hard to say but certainly works in the available slot for U. Hinted to me that we should reduce the amount of Foresight and possibly up the amount of Portent in the set. (13 years ago.)
Withering Decay TB This card is just as cool as we hoped. Definite inclusion. (13 years ago.)
Noxious Fen TB This was very playable in last night's draft. Like it. (13 years ago.)
Coffin Breaker TB Just all kinds of good. Nailed on. (13 years ago.)
Spellslinging Augur TB Liked this. (13 years ago.)
Spellslinging Augur TB I really enjoyed this guy last night. He especially loves instants because you can wait until you untap before you draw to cast them. Fun. I want to keep him in if we can. (13 years ago.)
Dissonance TB No one is going to accuse this card of being crazy powerful but I think it's nailed on for inclusion. (13 years ago.)
Impatient Mage KS I thought this was moving to common to give red a common looter? Makes a lot more sense when it's red's major looting creature. (13 years ago.)
Blind the Eye TB Liked this. (13 years ago.)
Blind the Eye TB Certainly playable, usually interesting. (13 years ago.)
Graveshade TB A guy who can do 17 damage in a turn but who never feels OP or completely useless. A suitable level of variance. I have come to love him having been unimpressed on initial reading. (13 years ago.)
Mirror Ghoul TB I really like this guy. Awesome combo with toughness-bumping equipment and +1/+1 counters (both of which we have, but not to excess) and just an interesting effect to think about and play around. Has been interesting/dramatic/not OP in both the games I've seen it in. (13 years ago.)
Horrifying Vision TB This card is not super-strong. I figure in a full draft it might often end up in sideboards. But I played it last night from my pool of 36 cards. I actually held on to it against Simon's mono R discard combo but it was otherwise fine. (13 years ago.)
Impatient Mage TB In my sideboard last night (not R). Surprised Simon's mono R didn't pick it up. Possibly the worst of the looters? (13 years ago.)
Rise Up TB I don't know if this card IS powerful or not but it obviously doesn't LOOK powerful. Last pick in draft. Needs testing but no one wants to test it! (13 years ago.)
Soulstair Guide TB Flicker was amazing last night for mono W commons + uncommons. So I guess this guy has more of a chance than I thought for inclusion? (13 years ago.)
Mind Broken Mage TB Ended up in my sideboard in the draft last night. Surprised Simon's mono-R combo didn't want it? Probably keep this in and ditch Hissing Conspirator and Wastrel's Wrath? (13 years ago.)
Vital Librarian TB Removing lifelink which makes this card "must build around" instead of super-strong + can be broken in the right deck. I think that's right. I've retired Vigorous Study in favor of this as it is more answerable. (13 years ago.)
Vital Librarian TB Text changed from Whenever you gain life you may pay 1. If you do, draw a card. Lifelink. to Whenever you gain life you may pay 1. If you do, draw a card. (13 years ago.)
Prophet of Doom TB This played really well last night. Introduced drama around when my board was going to be wiped and how much damage I could do by then and was part of a combo later. And I actually won the game against it quite handily. I like it. (13 years ago.)
Raid the Vaults TB I've seen this played three times and two of those times were good stories. Nailed on inclusion for me. (13 years ago.)
Vile Mimic TB Kieran noted that he can't ever attack else the copied thing just blocks (even if it is smaller!) which is slightly awkward? So much fairer and more fun than Mind Control or Evil Twin, though. I like this card. (13 years ago.)
Dalgath Ghastcaller TB Skinrender variant was not immediately intuitive to me - I thought X was creatures you control or something. But I do like it. (13 years ago.)
Embryo Thief TB This card scares people but hasn't actually done anything broken yet. It's on the watchlist but so far I like it. (13 years ago.)
Prophet of Doom KS This is a pretty good Infest variant. Plus as he's a creature you can bring him back for another wrath! (13 years ago.)
Vile Mimic KS This is great. Pretty much always kills it and you get to use the abilities in the meantime! (13 years ago.)
Vile Mimic KS Liked this. (13 years ago.)
Raid the Vaults KS This is always really good. Return Prophet of Doom putting Graven Servitor on top. Sweet. (13 years ago.)
Rampart Ravens PH yeah this is great! (13 years ago.)
Coffin Breaker KS This guy is one of black's key commons (13 years ago.)
Flayed Sentry KS Did good work last night. (13 years ago.)
Flayed Sentry KS Liked this. (13 years ago.)
Tomb Whispers PH yeah I'd agree tbh (13 years ago.)
Dalgath Ghastcaller KS This is quite good, though there's a lot of competition at uncommon. (13 years ago.)
Tomb Whispers KS A bit too good I think. (13 years ago.)
Dalgath Prowler KS This guy is the right fit for this spot. Black needs a 3-drop and the abiltiy is relevant. (13 years ago.)
Dalgath Thug KS Text changed from Intimidate When ~ is put into a graveyard from anywhere target creature gains intimidate until the end of turn. to Intimidate When ~ is put into a graveyard from anywhere target creature gains intimidate until the end of turn. (13 years ago.)
Ancestral Odyssey KS This is pretty much just a Time Walk for UUU. Which is totally fine in limited. (13 years ago.)
Tower Sentinels KS This guy is perfect (13 years ago.)
Tower Sentinels KS Liked this. (13 years ago.)
Spellslinging Augur KS This is really good, though it probably gets cut since the rare Seerlord has a similar but better ability and we're really cramped at Uncommon. (13 years ago.)
Deepwater Grasper KS This is still amazing. (13 years ago.)
Lostsight Counsel KS This is the sort of skill tester we should have. Bad players always forget to cast it out of the sideboard when doing so might actually win them the game... (13 years ago.)
Dreamriver Boa PH punishes foresight pretty well (13 years ago.)
Rambunctious Cyclops PH lure dude was good, and better than prized unicorn for sure! 5 toughness is hard to beat (13 years ago.)
Bearback Rider PH being a 1/1 seemed a bit off, but has flash so that's fine. if we drop flash then I think this could be a 2/2 but not sure (13 years ago.)
Engorged Murlodont PH lifegain never came up, was fine as a trampling craw wurm (13 years ago.)
Centaur Preceptor PH this guy is super awesome, although can be annoying if you have him in your opener and only 2 lands (unless you have exile camp obviously :D) (13 years ago.)
Tower Relic PH this is awesome (13 years ago.)
Ambassadorial Garb PH fine as an equipment, wizard never relevant though (13 years ago.)
Foaling Grounds PH this was really good, especially with cyclopes and the manaplasm guy (put 5cc man on top, reveal, make 6/6 :D) (13 years ago.)
Dalgath Thug PH decent man, never felt bad getting him down (13 years ago.)
Great Tower Bat PH this was totally sweet (13 years ago.)
Grave Geist PH Liked him, think we could shave a mana from the unearth cost and it would be better (13 years ago.)
Undervault Horde PH Was fine, mandatory trigger meant I had to mill myself (and hit futurist) when Mills was foresighting a land on top (13 years ago.)
Life-Stealer PH Decent guy, the high cost is offset by the 4 point life swing, and he gets better once you get to attack (13 years ago.)
Dalgath Prowler PH this guy was good, intimidate is a valid evasion ability, and he combo'd with the sac/scry/grow guy. (13 years ago.)
Banish PH make it UU? boomerang hits lands so should be ok (13 years ago.)
Ransack the Shelves SOK I'm not sure we have a copy of this printed as I didn't see it at all in the playtest! (13 years ago.)
Raid the Library SOK Yeah, this was almost the best of the looting cards I had. The combination of the fairly low cost, ability to choose how many to discard, and the extra draw are all great. For an uncommon though it is probably okay, not totally busted. (13 years ago.)
Hot Under the Collar SOK templating fix (13 years ago.)
Hot Under the Collar SOK Text changed from Madness 1R. ~ deals 4 damage to target creature or player. to ~ deals 4 damage to target creature or player. Madness 1R (13 years ago.)
Bloodseer SOK This guy doesn't really fit with the red discard/looting combo deck, but that is okay don't think we need to push the looting deck too hard, it is already good. (13 years ago.)
Radical Mage SOK Liked this. (13 years ago.)
Radical Mage SOK This guy was great. Basically a Looting Charm where you also get a 2/2 for 1 ! (13 years ago.)
Dueling Mage SOK Back from retirement. This guy was pretty good, can get in some early damage, is a discard outlet, and can then chump mid/late game. (13 years ago.)
Banish SOK I found this to be a little clunky. Three mana was a lot to hold up for a bounce effect, also so few wizards in blue at common that I never triggered the conditional draw. I'd be tempted to make it cost 2 and give it portent instead of the draw a card. (13 years ago.)
Ruminate SOK This is now Ruminate (13 years ago.)
Ruminate SOK Name changed from Cogitate to Ruminate (13 years ago.)
Ghastlord of the Black Tower TB Disliked this. (13 years ago.)
Noxious Fen TB Liked this. (13 years ago.)
Deepwater Teachings SOK Maybe give it flashback as well, or instead of Portent? I guess if you get to portent this to get a portent card you've almost netted as much card advantage as Mystical Teachings (13 years ago.)
Deepwater Teachings KS A Portent Tutor. Puts the card in second so you don't draw it instead of Portenting it! (13 years ago.)
Deepwater Teachings KS New card: 3U Instant U Search your library for a card with Portent and reveal it. Shuffle your library, then put the revealed card into your library second from top. Portent 1U (13 years ago.)
Mass Conscription GG Disliked this. (13 years ago.)
Deferred Pleasure GG Liked this. (13 years ago.)
Lostsight Counsel GG Liked this. (13 years ago.)
Embryo Thief KS This probably fulfils a similar role to Dalgath Castellan, so I'm retiring him in preference to this. (13 years ago.)
Abortionist SOK Text changed from Play with the top card of your library revealed. Put target creature card from the top of your library into your graveyard: target opponent loses 1 life and you gain 1 life. to Foresight (Play with the top card of your library revealed.) Put target creature card from the top of your library into your graveyard: target opponent loses 1 life and you gain 1 life. (13 years ago.)
Corrupt Seer SOK Text changed from Play with the top card of your library revealed. Pay 2 life: put the top card of your library on the bottom of your library. to Foresight (Play with the top card of your library revealed.) Pay 2 life: put the top card of your library on the bottom of your library. (13 years ago.)
Gibbet Confinement SOK correcting templating (13 years ago.)
Gibbet Confinement SOK Text changed from Enchanted Creature can't attack or block Soulsong - When ~ enters the battlefield, if you gained life this turn put a 1/1 white Bird creature token with Flying onto the battlefield. to Enchant creature Enchanted creature can't attack or block Soulsong - When ~ enters the battlefield, if you gained life this turn put a 1/1 white Bird creature token with Flying onto the battlefield. (13 years ago.)
Gibbet Confinement SOK Liked this. (13 years ago.)
Tomb Whispers SOK Yeah I'm not so sure about this one. Originally I had it at 1 card for 1 life at lower cost, but felt a bit too much like a crappy Think Twice (13 years ago.)
Tomb Whispers PH that's a lot of CA at common for B (13 years ago.)
Ridgeside Cache SOK Okay fixed it. What was irritating me from changing it was the annoying way it broke the templating across the cycle. I have handled that now. (13 years ago.)
Ridgeside Cache SOK Text changed from ~ enters the battlefield tapped. T: Add R to your mana pool. R, T, Sacrifice ~: Discard a card, then draw a card. to ~ enters the battlefield tapped. T: Add R to your mana pool. R, T, Sacrifice ~: Discard a card, if you do draw a card. (13 years ago.)
Tomb Whispers SOK Potentially filling hole at common (13 years ago.)
Tomb Whispers SOK New card: 2B Sorcery C You draw two cards and you lose 2 life. Flashback 4BB (13 years ago.)
Ridgeside Cache KS This is actually better than the Blue one in this set since it usually just reads 'draw a card' when you either have hellbent or a useless card to discard and sometimes reads 'draw a card and get an advantage from the discard!" (13 years ago.)
Dalgath Prowler PH think this fills a hole, not sure of in GY ability though as it doesn't really affect the board, but could be useful if you pitch it or mill it (13 years ago.)
Dalgath Thug PH New card: 1BB Creature - Zombie Rogue C Intimidate When Dalgath Thug is put into a graveyard from anywhere target creature gains intimidate until the end of turn. 2/2 (13 years ago.)
Tranquil Pool KS Now I like it. (13 years ago.)
Tranquil Pool KS Liked this. (13 years ago.)
Ridgeside Cache SOK I think that might be okay to sometimes be draw a card. You have to be hellbent, and you are sacrificing a card to do it. (13 years ago.)
Tranquil Pool SOK simpler the better? (13 years ago.)
Tranquil Pool SOK Text changed from ~ enters the battlefield tapped. T: Add U to your mana pool. U, T, Sacrifice ~: Scry 1, then reveal the top card of your library until end of turn. to ~ enters the battlefield tapped. T: Add U to your mana pool. U, T, Sacrifice ~: Scry 3 (13 years ago.)
Tranquil Pool KS Now it seems a bit strange since you only want the reveal to use Portent but you need to have Foresight already or you won't know when sacrificing it would be useful. (13 years ago.)
Tranquil Pool SOK How about that, temporary Foresight and minor library manipulation. (13 years ago.)
Tranquil Pool SOK Text changed from ~ enters the battlefield tapped. T: Add U to your mana pool. U, T, Sacrifice ~: Draw a card to ~ enters the battlefield tapped. T: Add U to your mana pool. U, T, Sacrifice ~: Scry 1, then reveal the top card of your library until end of turn. (13 years ago.)
Noxious Fen KS This is pretty decent. (13 years ago.)
Noxious Fen KS Liked this. (13 years ago.)
Ridgeside Cache KS Should probably make the discard part of the cost or draw then discard else it's still almost always just 'draw a card' like the Blue one. (13 years ago.)
Tranquil Pool SOK Yeah now I have done the others I need to change this. (13 years ago.)
Noxious Fen SOK New card: Land C Noxious Fen enters the battlefield tapped. T: Add B to your mana pool. B, T, Sacrifice Noxious Fen: Each player puts the top 3 cards of their library into their graveyard. (13 years ago.)
Tranquil Pool KS This is way better than the other two and probably too good for a common land! (13 years ago.)
Ridgeside Cache SOK Kind of looks rubbish compared to the blue one, but in red you actually want the discard. I think change the blue one is the answer (13 years ago.)
Ridgeside Cache SOK New card: Land C Ridgeside Cache enters the battlefield tapped. T: Add R to your mana pool. R, T, Sacrifice Ridgeside Cache: Discard a card, then draw a card. (13 years ago.)
Tranquil Pool SOK Lots of options for blue version (scry X, reveal top card of your library until end of turn), but I went with simplest first (13 years ago.)
Tranquil Pool SOK New card: Land C Tranquil Pool enters the battlefield tapped. T: Add U to your mana pool. U, T, Sacrifice Tranquil Pool: Draw a card (13 years ago.)
Bearback Rider KS Back to a bear card - though I've changed the name from Raider to Rider since people ended up calling him that anway! (13 years ago.)
Bearback Rider KS Name changed from Foalyard Attendant to Bearback Rider; Text changed from Flash When ~ enters the battlefield, put a 2/2 green Centaur creature token onto the battlefield to Flash When ~ enters the battlefield, put a 2/2 green Bear creature token onto the battlefield (13 years ago.)
Foaling Grounds KS Liked this. (13 years ago.)
Sanctified Cloister KS Liked this. (13 years ago.)
Foaling Grounds KS Now you just need to make the rest of the cycle... (13 years ago.)
Sanctified Field SOK New card: Land C Sanctified Field enters the battlefield tapped. T: Add W to your mana pool. W, T, Sacrifice Sanctified Field: Gain 3 life (13 years ago.)
Foaling Grounds SOK A one shot ability feels fairer on a common, also probably easier to build a cycle this way too. (13 years ago.)
Foaling Grounds SOK Text changed from ~ enters the battlefield tapped. T: add G to your mana pool 2GG, T: Put target creature card from your graveyard on top of your library. to ~ enters the battlefield tapped. T: add G to your mana pool G, T, Sacrifice ~: Put target creature card from your graveyard on top of your library. (13 years ago.)
Caliph of Tyrosh SOK I like it. I'm guessing this will almost never be cast as a creature, but as a free draw 4, so we may have to watch it for power level or make the creature half more appealing. (13 years ago.)
Caliph of Tyrosh KS Wanted something impressive for the rare version of this ability, and this seems pretty decent if possibly too good. (13 years ago.)
Caliph of Tyrosh KS New card: 5RR Creature - Efreet R Trample When Caliph of Tyrosh is put into a graveyard from anywhere, each player discards their hand then draws four cards. 5/5 (13 years ago.)
Ghastlord of the Black Tower KS Liking the alternate abilities here. (13 years ago.)
Graven Servitor SOK Text changed from Portent 6 to Portent 6 (If this is face up and on top of your library, you may play it for its portent cost.) (13 years ago.)
Portal Thopter SOK Text changed from Flying Portent 4 to Flying Portent 4 (If this is face up and on top of your library, you may play it for its portent cost.) (13 years ago.)
Prudent Adaptation SOK Text changed from Enchant Creature Enchanted creature gets +2/+2 and has trample. Portent 2G to Enchant Creature Enchanted creature gets +2/+2 and has trample. Portent 2G (If this is face up and on top of your library, you may play it for its portent cost.) (13 years ago.)
Dreadglade Howler SOK Text changed from Intimidate Portent 2G to Intimidate Portent 2G (If this is face up and on top of your library, you may play it for its portent cost.) (13 years ago.)
Careful Cultivation SOK Text changed from Search your library for a basic land card and put that card onto the battlefield tapped. Then shuffle your library. Portent 1G to Search your library for a basic land card and put that card onto the battlefield tapped. Then shuffle your library. Portent 1G (If this is face up and on top of your library, you may play it for its portent cost.) (13 years ago.)
Heroic End SOK Text changed from Target creature gains Lifelink and Deathtouch until end of turn Portent G to Target creature gains Lifelink and Deathtouch until end of turn Portent G (If this is face up and on top of your library, you may play it for its portent cost.) (13 years ago.)
Ghastlord of the Black Tower SOK updating templating and giving alternate ability if portented. (13 years ago.)
Ghastlord of the Black Tower SOK Text changed from If ~ enters the battlefield from anywhere other than your hand, you may search your library for a card, then shuffle your library and put that card on top of it. Portent 2BB (If this is revealed and on top of your library, you may play it for its portent cost.) to Flying When ~ enters the battlefield, you may search your library for a card, then shuffle your library and put that card on top of it. If ~ was played for its portent cost, put the card in your hand instead. Portent 2BB (If this is face up and on top of your library, you may play it for its portent cost.) (13 years ago.)
Throw from the Tower SOK Text changed from Destroy target creature without flying. Portent 3B to Destroy target creature without flying. Portent 3B (If this is face up and on top of your library, you may play it for its portent cost.) (13 years ago.)
Horrifying Vision SOK Text changed from Target player discards two cards. Portent 2B to Target player discards two cards. Portent 2B (If this is face up and on top of your library, you may play it for its portent cost.) (13 years ago.)
Portentious Shrike SOK Text changed from Flying Portent 2U (If this is revealed and on top of your library, you may play it for its portent cost.) to Flying Portent 2U (If this is face up and on top of your library, you may play it for its portent cost.) (13 years ago.)
Deepwater Grasper SOK Text changed from When ~ enters the battlefield, return target creature to its owners hand. If this was played for its portent cost, then put target creature on top of its owners library instead. Portent 3U to When ~ enters the battlefield, return target creature to its owners hand. If this was played for its portent cost, then put target creature on top of its owners library instead. Portent 3U (If this is face up and on top of your library, you may play it for its portent cost.) (13 years ago.)
Cogitate SOK Text changed from Draw three cards, then discard a card. Portent 3U to Draw three cards, then discard a card. Portent 3U (If this is face up and on top of your library, you may play it for its portent cost.) (13 years ago.)
Shimmersprite SOK Text changed from Flying U: Put ~ face up on top of its owner's library. Portent 1U to Flying U: Put ~ face up on top of its owner's library. Portent 1U (If this is face up and on top of your library, you may play it for its portent cost.) (13 years ago.)
Call the Titans SOK Text changed from Put a 4/4 red Giant creature token onto the battlefield Mindstorm to Put a 4/4 red Giant creature token onto the battlefield Mindstorm (When you cast this spell, put a copy of it onto the stack for each card put into your graveyard from your hand this turn) (13 years ago.)
Empty the Libraries SOK Text changed from Put two 1/1 red Human Wizard creature tokens onto the battlefield Mindstorm (When you cast this spell, copy it for each card you have discarded before it this turn.) to Put two 1/1 red Human Wizard creature tokens onto the battlefield Mindstorm (When you cast this spell, put a copy of it onto the stack for each card put into your graveyard from your hand this turn) (13 years ago.)
Pageflame SOK Text changed from ~ deals 1 damage to target creature or player Mindstorm - When you cast this spell, put a copy of it onto the stack for each card put into your graveyard from your hand this turn to ~ deals 1 damage to target creature or player Mindstorm (When you cast this spell, put a copy of it onto the stack for each card put into your graveyard from your hand this turn) (13 years ago.)
Soulstair Guide KS flicker effects are always useful and in White it lets you play your Soulsong guys early then get the bonus later once you've set up. (13 years ago.)
Soulstair Guide PH do we really want a flicker effect? (13 years ago.)
Soulstair Guide KS Fixed so he can't infinitely combo with the new Soul Warden. Also I've retired the White Portent guy since White has no Portent interactions and am really hoping this guy can replace him. (13 years ago.)
Soulstair Guide KS Text changed from When ~ enters the battlefield, you may exile target creature, then return it to the battlefield under its owner's control. to When ~ enters the battlefield, you may exile another target creature, then return it to the battlefield under its owner's control. (13 years ago.)
Vituperation of Flesh SOK I kind of like it at uncommon. As it seems unlikely we'll actually play this set with a full 8 people that often, we'll want these kind of cards that draw you into an archetype to appear at uncommon so that you are more likely to see them in a draft, but there will be a max of 2 (13 years ago.)
Great Tower Bat SOK aaand done (13 years ago.)
Great Tower Bat SOK Text changed from Flying 1, Discard a card: Regenerate ~. to Flying Discard a card: Regenerate ~. (13 years ago.)
Great Tower Bat KS Since the mana cost is so pitiful and you're unlikely to be casting much if you want to regenerate him anyway it seems a bit pointless. It will look much better without it, and it even lets you build up Mindstorm for free! (13 years ago.)
Vituperation of Flesh KS I wanted this to be similar but play differently to Spider Spawning, so instead of getting a bunch of little guys you just get one giant one. Maybe I should just bump it up to rare so that only one will ever appear in a draft and it makes a good reason to play the mill-yourself deck. (13 years ago.)
Great Tower Bat PH I'd be tempted to lose the mana cost on regen, a card is pretty expensive already (13 years ago.)
Dalgath Ghastcaller PH as this is U you could give this unearth as well? should be a zombie wizard too :D (13 years ago.)
Vituperation of Flesh PH may be cleaner to make X 2/2 tokens instead? It's busted in multiples, maybe have it exile the cards on resolution as well? (13 years ago.)
Vituperation of Flesh KS Something else for the graveyard decks. (13 years ago.)
Vituperation of Flesh KS New card: 3BB Sorcery U Put an X/X black Zombie creature token onto the battlefield, where X is the number of creature cards in your graveyard. Flashback 6B (13 years ago.)
Centaur Nullifier PH I think you probably want to keep this at double G as it hits both types (13 years ago.)
Centaur Nullifier KS This just seems solid and we don't want all the green creatures to be Cyclopes so it gets my vote to be in as well. Might want to be 2G just so you can more easily splash the ability in decks? (13 years ago.)
Foaling Grounds KS Probably a bit too good for a common, though you could make it a sacrifice to put the creature on top. Thought then it would probably go back to being colourless! (13 years ago.)
Zealous Protector KS I don't think lifelink should be prevalent at common because it makes things too easy. Sunsoul Lark is okay because he looks really awful but is actually awesome! (13 years ago.)
Zealous Protector TB I don't care where he lives but I want a first-striking lifelinker for shenanigans with Overpowering Light and others. (13 years ago.)
Dalgath Ghastcaller SOK Liked this. (13 years ago.)
Dalgath Ghastcaller KS A guy to help out the graveyard deck. (13 years ago.)
Dalgath Ghastcaller KS New card: 3BB Creature - Human Wizard U When Dalgath Ghastcaller enters the battlefield, target creature gets -X/-X until end of turn, where X is the number of creature cards in your graveyard. 3/3 (13 years ago.)
Gluttonous Lark PH hmm, could this kill something when it lands rather than gains vigilance? something amusing about something being crushed by a bird that's now too fat to fly... (13 years ago.)
Empty the Libraries SOK adding reminder text (13 years ago.)
Empty the Libraries SOK Text changed from Put two 1/1 red Human Wizard creature tokens onto the battlefield Mindstorm to Put two 1/1 red Human Wizard creature tokens onto the battlefield Mindstorm (When you cast this spell, copy it for each card you have discarded before it this turn.) (13 years ago.)
Empty the Libraries SOK Liked this. (13 years ago.)
Centaur Nullifier SOK Liked this. (13 years ago.)
Centaur Nullifier SOK I think this is just cleaner and simpler than the recanter, so gets my vote for inclusion (13 years ago.)
Foaling Grounds SOK Potential green land in a cycle. As long as you have Foresight this will turn on your Centaurs/Cyclops, play Portent guys, give some long game. Might be too good for common even with high activation cost. Volraths Stronghold was pretty good but cost half as much (13 years ago.)
Foaling Grounds SOK New card: Land C Foaling Grounds enters the battlefield tapped. T: add G to your mana pool 2GG, T: Put target creature card from your graveyard on top of your library. (13 years ago.)
Battlefield Oracle SOK How come this guy got retired? Was it in the mass centaur cull? Bringing him back for now as I think he is cool. I just came across Bioplasm which is almsot the same card, just without the scry. (13 years ago.)
Embryo Thief SOK Something about the templating of this rankles me, but I haven't got better wording yet. (13 years ago.)
Great Tower Bat SOK Do we still need the additional cost now this is at uncommon? I guess leave it for now and we will playtest it. (13 years ago.)
Zealous Protector SOK Maybe we bump this guy back down to common? I'm not sure he is splashy enough for uncommon (13 years ago.)
Reverent Captain SOK Liked this. (13 years ago.)
Gluttonous Lark SOK slight templating fix (13 years ago.)
Gluttonous Lark SOK Text changed from Flying Whenever you gain a life, put a +1/+1 counter on ~. If ~ has 3 or more +1/+1 counters on it, it loses Flying and gains Vigilance. to Flying Whenever you gain life, put a +1/+1 counter on ~. If ~ has 3 or more +1/+1 counters on it, it loses flying and gains vigilance. (13 years ago.)
Tower Warden TB Misremembered our intended changes from playtesting. (13 years ago.)
Tower Warden TB Cost changed from 2W to 3W (13 years ago.)
Life-Stealer TB Simon doesn't like the name although I have been thinking of this creature being called that since 1986 so I'm not sure I can judge. Feel free to change! (13 years ago.)
Great Tower Bat TB Text changed from Flying Discard a card: Regenerate ~. to Flying 1, Discard a card: Regenerate ~. (13 years ago.)
Looting Charm TB I haven't seen the grant haste ability used yet, although adding another super useful mode might push this over the top! (13 years ago.)
Looting Charm KS Could we make one of the modes 'destroy target non-creature artifact?' Red so far doesn't have common artifact destruction and this seems like a good place for it. (13 years ago.)
Portentious Shrike SOK I thought the Portent = mana cost was only a rule at common? Costs X less from your library is pretty clunky when we can just adjust Portent costs (13 years ago.)
Deepwater Grasper PH Thought it was an homage to Veldaken Dismisser :P (13 years ago.)
Portentious Shrike KS The reason this guy rules is because you get such a massive discount. If you do want to make Portent costs the same as mana costs (and remove the cost from the card) you could always give this guy ~ costs 3 less to cast from your library so as not to ruin Portent templating. (13 years ago.)
Portentious Shrike TB One of only three cards (one of which probably isn't making the cut) whose Portent cost is not the same as its mana cost. I'm not saying we should make Portent mean "same as mana cost" but it is a distinct possibility at this point. Then we could use some of the Deepwater Grasper-style "if you paid portent" to give extra benefits on some cards. (13 years ago.)
Impossible Horror TB I was looking for potential Portent uncommons but agree that enablers should not also have Portent. (13 years ago.)
Impossible Horror TB Text changed from Flying When ~ enters the battlefield, sacrifice it unless you put a card from your hand face up on top of your library. Portent 1UU to Flying When ~ enters the battlefield, sacrifice it unless you put a card from your hand face up on top of your library. (13 years ago.)
Ambassadorial Garb KS Changed to Shroud since Wizards aren't likely to be mixing it up in combat much and there are a lot of amazing but vulnerable ones this will protect. (13 years ago.)
Wizarding Staff KS Text changed from Equipped Creature gets +1/+1 If Equipped Creature is a Wizard it has First Strike Equip 1 to Equipped Creature gets +1/+1 If Equipped Creature is a Wizard it has Shroud Equip 1 (13 years ago.)
Deepwater Grasper KS I think we have to respect the designer's wishes on this one... (13 years ago.)
Impossible Horror KS This having Portent seems a bit odd given his status as a Portent enabler himself. I do like that when you pay the portent something else replaces him on top of the library, though! (13 years ago.)
Deepwater Grasper SOK No! No jellyfish wizards, only pure Cnidaria! This is clearly an homage to Man O War (13 years ago.)
Carromantic Candle TB Text changed from Foreshadow (Play with the top card of your library revealed). 2, Sacrifice ~: Draw a card. to Foresight (Play with the top card of your library revealed). 2, Sacrifice ~: Draw a card. (13 years ago.)
Bloodseer TB Text changed from Foreshadow (Play with the top card of your library revealed) If the top card of your library is a creature card, ~ has First Strike to Foresight (Play with the top card of your library revealed) If the top card of your library is a creature card, ~ has First Strike (13 years ago.)
Flayed Sentry TB Text changed from Foreshadow (Play with the top card of your library revealed.) B : Regenerate ~. to Foresight (Play with the top card of your library revealed.) B : Regenerate ~. (13 years ago.)
Spellslinging Augur TB Text changed from Play with the top card of your library revealed. You may play the top card of your library if it is a Sorcery or Instant. to Foresight (Play with the top card of your library revealed.) You may play the top card of your library if it is a Sorcery or Instant. (13 years ago.)
Impossible Horror TB Text changed from Flying When Impossible Horror enters the battlefield, sacrifice it unless you put a card from your hand face up on top of your library to Flying When ~ enters the battlefield, sacrifice it unless you put a card from your hand face up on top of your library. Portent 1UU (13 years ago.)
Engorged Murlodont TB The hate for the lifegain deck on this card is incidental. He's playable without it. For that reason I don't mind it although I'd probably like it just as much without the ability, or more. (13 years ago.)
Deepwater Grasper PH the art should just be a jellyfish with a pointy hat on (13 years ago.)
Inspirationist TB I quite like that he is vulnerable. I don't think we want him flashing in, eating an attacker, scrying 2 and then coming in for an unexpected 2 flying damage. He does quite a lot of things already. (13 years ago.)
Deepwater Grasper PH done! (13 years ago.)
Deepwater Grasper TB Making him a Wizard makes him awfully close to Aether Adept. But it would be nice. (13 years ago.)
Deepwater Grasper KS Jellyfish Wizard would be sweet... (13 years ago.)
Inspirationist PH should get a toughness bump at uncommon no? (13 years ago.)
Deepwater Grasper PH Shouldn't this be a wizard if there's a wizard deck? (13 years ago.)
Engorged Murlodont PH Maybe make it B, or have a smaller version in B? (13 years ago.)
Ambassadorial Garb KS Something for the mythical Wizard deck I keep hearing about. (13 years ago.)
Wizarding Staff KS New card: 2 Artifact - Equipment C Equipped Creature gets +1/+1 If Equipped Creature is a Wizard it has First Strike Equip 1 (13 years ago.)
Prudent Adaptation SOK Back to original enchantment version (13 years ago.)
Prudent Adaptation SOK Cost changed from 3G to 2G; Text changed from Enchant Creature Flash Enchanted creature gets +2/+2 and has trample. Portent 3G to Enchant Creature Enchanted creature gets +2/+2 and has trample. Portent 2G (13 years ago.)
Vital Librarian TB Liked this. (13 years ago.)
Bloodvine's Thorns TB Could be a sorcery. (13 years ago.)
Dreadglade Howler TB Ross and I lean the other way so definitely looking forward to testing the new G on Wednesday! (13 years ago.)
Dreadglade Howler KS I love all the Cyclopes and them having both abilities is good - it would suck to have a bunch of boosts but no active Foresight! I just think there's room for a couple of guys who aren't Cyclopes. (13 years ago.)
Prudent Adaptation KS I like this more than the pump spell. Could possibly get away with reducing the cost by 1 and losing the trample? (13 years ago.)
Mindleech Avian TB Let's wait until we have more reason to make more wizards - it may never happen. (13 years ago.)
Dreadglade Howler TB Alternate to changing the Cyclopes is to make some enablers and some boosters rather than combining the two in a card. (13 years ago.)
Prudent Adaptation TB Happy to scrap it in favor of the simpler pump, I thought you guys liked it better. Auras with Flash always seem a bit janky to me. (13 years ago.)
Ghastlord of the Black Tower TB Text changed from Portent 2BB (If this is revealed and on top of your library, you may play it for its portent cost.) If ~ enters the battlefield from anywhere other than your hand, you may search your library for a card, then shuffle your library and put that card on top of it. to If ~ enters the battlefield from anywhere other than your hand, you may search your library for a card, then shuffle your library and put that card on top of it. Portent 2BB (If this is revealed and on top of your library, you may play it for its portent cost.) (13 years ago.)
Portentious Shrike TB Text changed from Portent 2U (If this is revealed and on top of your library, you may play it for its portent cost.) Flying to Flying Portent 2U (If this is revealed and on top of your library, you may play it for its portent cost.) (13 years ago.)
Dreadglade Howler KS Removing a Cyclops and adding a Portent guy. (13 years ago.)
Dreadglade Howler KS Name changed from Bellowing Cyclops to Dreadglade Howler; Type changed from Creature - Cyclops Warrior to Creature - Wolf; Text changed from Foresight (Play with the top card of your library revealed) If the top card of your library is a creature card, ~ has intimidate to Intimidate Portent 2G; Power changed from 3 to 2 (13 years ago.)
Throw from the Tower TB Text changed from Portent 3B Destroy target creature without flying. to Destroy target creature without flying. Portent 3B (13 years ago.)
Deepwater Grasper TB Text changed from Portent 3U When ~ enters the battlefield, return target creature to its owners hand. If this was played for its portent cost, then put target creature on top of its owners library instead. to When ~ enters the battlefield, return target creature to its owners hand. If this was played for its portent cost, then put target creature on top of its owners library instead. Portent 3U (13 years ago.)
Cogitate TB Text changed from Portent 3U Draw three cards, then discard a card. to Draw three cards, then discard a card. Portent 3U (13 years ago.)
Centaur Preceptor KS I want to change a guy anyway so giving him portent too could work... (13 years ago.)
Ruminate TB I've renamed Ruminate (an instant that draws 2 for U) to Think Fast. So Ruminate is free for this if we prefer it to Cogitate. (13 years ago.)
Think Fast TB Name changed from Ruminate to Think Fast (13 years ago.)
Engorged Murlodont SOK It is to stop that pesky white lifegain deck. Maybe the ability should be on a lower mana cost creature so you can get it out before they gain a ton of life (13 years ago.)
Engorged Murlodont KS I'm not sure why this has the second ability. Doesn't Green normally love lifegain rather than hate on it? Agree a 5/5 or even 5/6 trampler might be pretty decent here. (13 years ago.)
Centaur Preceptor SOK We really need a 3 drop portent creature this can search up late game. Currently none. (13 years ago.)
Engorged Murlodont SOK Maybe make this a 5/5 to differentiate from Slave Hellion? (13 years ago.)
Thought Shards SOK Oops commented in the wrong box, changing back to 1U (13 years ago.)
Thought Shards SOK Cost changed from U to 1U (13 years ago.)
Thought Shards SOK Was thinking of trying it a just U, but "draw card, discard a card, draw card" for one U actually seems to good. (13 years ago.)
Thought Shards SOK Cost changed from 1U to U; Text changed from Draw a card Flashback—Discard a Card to Draw a card Flashback—Discard a Card (13 years ago.)
Ruminate SOK Trying it like this, also new name. (13 years ago.)
Cogitate SOK Name changed from Think Fast to Cogitate; Cost changed from 2U to 3U; Type changed from Instant to Sorcery; Text changed from Portent 2U Draw two cards then discard a card. to Portent 3U Draw three cards, then discard a card. (13 years ago.)
Ruminate KS Agree with the above, and we all know Thought Shards is secretly a Red card anyway. (13 years ago.)
Prudent Adaptation SOK True, and now that we are working with permanent reveals, this probably doesn't need the flash anymore. (13 years ago.)
Heroic End SOK Liked this. (13 years ago.)
Ruminate SOK I think Ruminate (draw 2, put one back on top) needs to stay at U as a cheap portent enabler. Thought Shards and Think Fast are filling similar roles, but I think if we up Think Fast to 3U and lower Thought Shards to U then that will give us 3 draw spells that each help something different. Ruminate = Portent Enabler, Thought Shards = Looting Enabler, Think Fast = Card Advantage. We can mix the names up as need be. (13 years ago.)
Cyclopean Commander KS Power changed from 2 to 3; Toughness changed from 2 to 3 (13 years ago.)
Dreadglade Howler KS I think we should actually change a few Cyclopes back into regular creatures so that every green creature isn't a Portent enabler. This guy would be perfect as just a 2/2 for 2G with Intimidate, since green usually gets something like that at common. (13 years ago.)
Heroic End KS Possible replacement for Roar. This should maybe cost 1G? (13 years ago.)
Heroic End KS New card: G Instant C Target creature gains Lifelink and Deathtouch until end of turn Portent G (13 years ago.)
Prudent Adaptation KS Right now this seems too similar to the pump spell for both to be taking common slots. (13 years ago.)
Mindleech Avian SOK Ah I see. In my head it was a non-intelligent bird, but we can easily change that if we need to cram in more wizards. (13 years ago.)
Soulstair Guide KS Determined to get second coming in somehow! (13 years ago.)
Soulstair Guide KS New card: 2W Creature - Human Cleric C When Soulstair Guide enters the battlefield, you may exile target creature, then return it to the battlefield under its owner's control. 2/1 (13 years ago.)
Time's Bondage TB I can't wait til someone casts this on their own Vigilance creature just for the Foresight. That day will smell like ... victory! (13 years ago.)
Anara Falconer TB Don't count on it ... lots of name changes to come I reckon! (13 years ago.)
Ruminate TB Hmm yes we still have to work on the U common draw spells. Perhaps we rename Ruminate to Think Fast then make this a Sorcery draw 3 discard 1 and call it Ruminate? Is old-Ruminate new-Think Fast different enough to Thought Shards? Should we Sorcery-ify Ruminate and give that Portent, keep Thought Shards, cut this and add something else in its place? Perhaps Scrypulse should come back on the basis that it is sufficiently different? (13 years ago.)
Mindleech Avian TB Sorry, yes I understood the name. What I mean was, could a Mindleech Avian be a Wizard? Or does it have to be a non-intelligent bird. I like him how he is rather than with shroud or unblockable. (13 years ago.)
Soulbrethren SOK Do we want to give this vigilance. Might need to make it a 2/5 if we do. (13 years ago.)
Anara Falconer SOK Hah, this is the only Anara card to survive! (13 years ago.)
Mindleech Avian SOK Well Avian = bird, ergo flying, and the Mindleech was indicating he was using the library for benefit. Could always make this the blue shroud creature, and lose the flying, or make it unblockable? (13 years ago.)
Thought Shards SOK I imagine we could make this cost just U? Now that we don't have to mirror Mania Shards anymore. (13 years ago.)
Bellowing Cyclops TB Type changed from Creature - Cyclops to Creature - Cyclops Warrior (13 years ago.)
Ruminate SOK Can we turn this into a draw 3 discard 1 for 3U maybe? We have no actual hard card advantage spell at common. I guess portent'ing this is card advantage since you are +1 in hand. (13 years ago.)
Dalgath Prowler TB Type changed from Creature - Zombie to Creature - Zombie Warrior (13 years ago.)
Dalgath Raider TB Type changed from Creature - Zombie to Creature - Zombie Warrior (13 years ago.)
Careful Cultivation KS Can't really go wrong with this sort of effect. (13 years ago.)
Careful Cultivation KS Liked this. (13 years ago.)
Rage Harness KS This is pretty cool. I'm definitely retiring my common equipment that does a similar thing since this just seems better! (13 years ago.)
Mindleech Avian TB Could this guy be a Wizard? What is a Mindleech Avian?? (13 years ago.)
Careful Cultivation SOK Maybe filling last green spell slot? (13 years ago.)
Careful Cultivation SOK New card: 1G Sorcery C Search your library for a basic land card and put that card onto the battlefield tapped. Then shuffle your library. Portent 1G (13 years ago.)
Coffin Breaker TB Type changed from Creature - Zombie to Creature - Zombie Wizard; Text changed from When Coffin Breaker is put into a graveyard from anywhere, return another target creature card from your graveyard to your hand. to When ~ is put into a graveyard from anywhere, return another target creature card from your graveyard to your hand. (13 years ago.)
Shimmersprite TB Type changed from Creature - Faerie to Creature - Faerie Wizard (13 years ago.)
Rage Harness SOK Filling another whole, while actually providing some protection from your guy getting killed in response. Also helps looting deck if it is the aggro madness version (13 years ago.)
Rage Harness SOK New card: R Enchantment - Aura C Enchant Creature Enchanted creature gets +2/+0 and has haste When Rage Harness is put into a graveyard from anywhere, target creature gets +2/+0 and haste until end of turn (13 years ago.)
Angry Giant TB Ha. I just came on here to ask if giving it Trample pushed it too hard! Done! (13 years ago.)
Angry Giant TB Text changed from Madness 1R to Trample Madness 1R (13 years ago.)
Mage Fanatic TB Text changed from When Mage Fanatic is put into a graveyard from anywhere, it deals 1 damage to target creature or player to Haste When ~ is put into a graveyard from anywhere, it deals 1 damage to target creature or player (13 years ago.)
Slave Hellion SOK Text changed from When Slave Hellion is put into a graveyard from anywhere, put a 1/1 red Human Wizard creature token onto the battlefield to When ~ is put into a graveyard from anywhere, put a 1/1 red Human Wizard creature token onto the battlefield (13 years ago.)
Bloodseer SOK Type changed from Creature - Cyclops to Creature - Cyclops Wizard (13 years ago.)
Anxiety Attack SOK Filling the panic and sorcery hole. Has not been a Madness panic spell before. (13 years ago.)
Anxiety Attack SOK New card: 1R Sorcery C Up to two target creatures can't block this turn. Madness R (13 years ago.)
Angry Giant SOK Could give this trample? Becomes a baby Arrogant Wurm then. (13 years ago.)
Dalgath Thug SOK Upgrading to fill the slot Capricious Demon is vacating. Not sure on P/T, could be a 3/3? (13 years ago.)
Dalgath Prowler SOK Cost changed from 2B to 3B; Power changed from 3 to 4; Toughness changed from 1 to 2 (13 years ago.)
Scrypulse TB Rarity changed from C to U; Text changed from Scry 4 Draw a card to Scry 4 Draw a card (13 years ago.)
Throw from the Tower TB Text changed from Destroy target creature without flying. to Portent 3B Destroy target creature without flying. (13 years ago.)
Graven Servitor TB Liked this. (13 years ago.)
Portal Thopter TB Liked this. (13 years ago.)
Time's Bondage KS Reduced cost massively since you need to have a target to get the Foresight. Also changed to Foresight. (13 years ago.)
Time's Bondage KS Cost changed from 3U to 1U; Text changed from Enchant Creature Foreshadow (Play with the top card of your library revealed) Enchanted creature doesn't untap during its controller's untap step. to Enchant Creature Foresight (Play with the top card of your library revealed) Enchanted creature doesn't untap during its controller's untap step. (13 years ago.)
Slave Hellion TB Liked this. (13 years ago.)
Radical Mage TB Liked this. (13 years ago.)
Pageflame TB Liked this. (13 years ago.)
Throw from the Tower TB Liked this. (13 years ago.)
Throw from the Tower TB Name changed from Throw From the Tower to Throw from the Tower (13 years ago.)
Flayed Sentry TB I finally like this guy! (13 years ago.)
Flayed Sentry TB Liked this. (13 years ago.)
Time's Bondage TB Could reduce to 2U or even less to get Portent going. Narcolepsy is better at 1U for example. (13 years ago.)
Time's Bondage TB Definitely my vote for the second common Foresight enabler in U. Fills a gap we already had at the same time. Awesome. (13 years ago.)
Time's Bondage TB Liked this. (13 years ago.)
Inspirationist TB Moving to uncommon came up again on another pass through the skeleton so shifting him. (13 years ago.)
Inspirationist TB Rarity changed from C to U; Text changed from Flying. Flash. When ~ enters the battlefield, Scry 2. to Flying. Flash. When ~ enters the battlefield, Scry 2. (13 years ago.)
Tower Warden TB Cost changed from 3W to 2W; Toughness changed from 3 to 2 (13 years ago.)
Cyclopean Commander KS Wanted to keep the rare one (not the overrun ability, though!). Made him cost a bit more green since the ability is so good. (13 years ago.)
Cyclopean Commander KS New card: 1GGG Creature - Cyclops R Foresight (Play with the top card of your library revealed) If the top card of your library is a creature card, creatures you control get +2/+2. 2/2 (13 years ago.)
Mind's Eye Bowman KS That's why he only hits half the time! (13 years ago.)
Mind's Eye Bowman TB I don't think you can have a Cyclops Archer - they don't have the appropriate depth of vision for archery. (13 years ago.)
Arena Champion SOK Name changed from Cyclope Brawler to Arena Champion (13 years ago.)
Bellowing Cyclops SOK Name changed from Cyclope Ranger to Bellowing Cyclops; Text changed from Foresight (Play with the top card of your library revealed) If the top card of your library is a creature card, ~ has Intimidate to Foresight (Play with the top card of your library revealed) If the top card of your library is a creature card, ~ has intimidate; Power changed from 2 to 3 (13 years ago.)
Rambunctious Cyclops SOK Name changed from Cyclope Crier to Rambunctious Cyclops (13 years ago.)
Cyclops Archer SOK Name changed from Cyclope Archer to Cyclops Archer; Text changed from Foresight (Play with the top card of your library revealed) If the top card of your library is a creature card, ~ has Reach to Foresight (Play with the top card of your library revealed) If the top card of your library is a creature card, ~ has reach (13 years ago.)
Leader of the Lost KS New card: 2WW Creature - Spirit R Flying Soulsong - When Leader of the Lost enters the battlefield, if you gained life this turn, return target creature from a graveyard to the battlefield under your control. 2/2 (13 years ago.)
Horrifying Vision KS Nothing wrong with this. I kind of like Portent here because sometimes Mind Rot is going to be useless so getting rid of it from the top seems good. Also I hate that uncommon version with cycling & flashback! (13 years ago.)
Portal Thopter TB I think making it the same throughout might actually be best and then have Uncommons and Rares have "if you cast this for its Portent cost ... " (13 years ago.)
Horrifying Vision TB Agreed, otherwise I think this just never gets played. Can't wait til we find out Portent is now totally broken with all the new enablers ... (13 years ago.)
Horrifying Vision TB Cost changed from 3B to 2B; Text changed from Target player discards two cards. Portent 3B to Target player discards two cards. Portent 2B (13 years ago.)
Cyclope Crier KS New card: 4GG Creature - Cyclops U Foresight (Play with the top card of your library revealed) If the top card of your library is a creature card, Cyclope Crier has "All creatures able to block Cyclope Crier must do so" 2/5 (13 years ago.)
Arena Champion KS Not likely to win many fights! (13 years ago.)
Cyclope Brawler KS New card: 1G Creature - Cyclops U Foresight (Play with the top card of your library revealed) If the top card of your library is a creature card, Cyclope Brawler has "T: Cyclope Brawler fights target creature" 2/2 (13 years ago.)
Cyclope Ranger KS New card: 2G Creature - Cyclops C Foresight (Play with the top card of your library revealed) If the top card of your library is a creature card, Cyclope Ranger has Intimidate 2/2 (13 years ago.)
Cyclope Archer KS New card: 2G Creature - Cyclops C Foresight (Play with the top card of your library revealed) If the top card of your library is a creature card, Cyclope Archer has Reach 2/3 (13 years ago.)
Time's Bondage SOK Liked this. (13 years ago.)
Time's Bondage SOK This is really cool! (13 years ago.)
Time's Bondage KS Another possibility for a hard to kill blue foreshadow card. Plus blue pretty much always gets something like this! (13 years ago.)
Time's Bondage KS New card: 3U Enchantment - Aura C Enchant Creature Foreshadow (Play with the top card of your library revealed) Enchanted creature doesn't untap during its controller's untap step. (13 years ago.)
Dalgath Raider SOK We moved this guy to common as an enabler last night (13 years ago.)
Dalgath Raider SOK Rarity changed from U to C; Text changed from When Dalgath Raider is put into a graveyard from anywhere, target player puts the top 4 cards of their library into their graveyard. to When ~ is put into a graveyard from anywhere, target player puts the top 4 cards of their library into their graveyard. (13 years ago.)
Horrifying Vision SOK Maybe we can just make this cost 2B. A Mind Rot with upside is breaking nothing right? (13 years ago.)
Ruminate SOK Text changed from Draw 2 cards. Put a card from your hand on top of your library. to Draw 2 cards. Put a card from your hand on top of your library face up. (13 years ago.)
Hot Under the Collar SOK How about that for cost increase to compemsate for 4 damage. Slim chance you could keep the madness at R. Other option is to make it damage creatures only, and do 5 damage. (13 years ago.)
Hot Under the Collar SOK Cost changed from 3R to 3RR; Text changed from Madness R. ~ deals 3 damage to target creature or player. to Madness 1R. ~ deals 4 damage to target creature or player. (13 years ago.)
Portal Thopter KS For some reason I thought all the Portent costs were going to be the same as the mana costs - now I realise it's just the commons! (13 years ago.)
Prudent Adaptation SOK Upping portent cost to match mana cost (13 years ago.)
Prudent Adaptation SOK Text changed from Enchant Creature Flash Target creature gets +2/+2 and has trample. Portent 2G to Enchant Creature Flash Enchanted creature gets +2/+2 and has trample. Portent 3G (13 years ago.)
Blind the Eye SOK Liked this. (13 years ago.)
Portal Thopter SOK adding the Portent cost, unless it was meant to be 0! (13 years ago.)
Portal Thopter SOK Text changed from Flying Portent to Flying Portent 4 (13 years ago.)
Undervault Horde SOK Liked this. (13 years ago.)
Undervault Horde KS Gone for the lowest possible mill effect, but as an ETB trigger. Unlikely to mill yourself for anything good, but can screw up Cyclopes and generally annoy your opponent. (13 years ago.)
Undervault Horde KS Text changed from Undervault Horde enters the battlefield tapped Unearth B to When ~ enters the battlefield, target player puts the top card of their library into their graveyard. (13 years ago.)
Blind the Eye KS I think this may be the answer to the above. You can 2x your opponent if you want to mill, 2x yourself for triggers or do 1 to each player to disrupt Portent and maybe get an ability. (13 years ago.)
Blind the Eye KS Text changed from Target player puts the top card of their library into their graveyard. Draw a card. to Target player puts the top card of their library into their graveyard. Target player puts the top card of their library into their graveyard. Draw a card. (13 years ago.)
Blind the Eye KS I was originally doing that, but was worried the card might end up helping your opponent if they need specific cards for Portent! (13 years ago.)
Undervault Horde KS A creature with the ability sounds quite good, but probably not for this guy. Some sort of milling ability would be good, though! (13 years ago.)
Blind the Eye SOK Maybe change it to Each player rather than target? Disruption and self milling? (13 years ago.)
Undervault Horde SOK How about some self milling? "Whenever ~ deals combat damage, each player puts that many cards from the top of his or her library into his or her graveyard." I was thinking of making a new card with this, but perhaps it fits here? Maybe wrong on a 5 drop if it is supposed to be an enabling ability? (13 years ago.)
Undervault Horde KS I guess he could stand to lose the CIP tapped and Unearth. But what to replace them with... (13 years ago.)
Portal Thopter KS Possibly a mana too expensive, but it does kill pretty much every other flier! (13 years ago.)
Portal Thopter KS New card: 4 Artifact Creature - Construct C Flying Portent 2/1 (13 years ago.)
Undervault Horde SOK But the 3 toughness is the important bit! (13 years ago.)
Mindcoil Serpent KS Templating change now the temporary reveals are being removed. (13 years ago.)
Mindcoil Serpent KS Text changed from Defender Whenever the top card of your library is revealed, Mindcoil Serpent loses Defender until end of turn to Defender If the top card of your library is revealed, ~ may attack and block as though it doesn't have Defender. (13 years ago.)
Undervault Horde KS Probably should just be Bone Beast now that his abilities are more of a drawback than a bonus. Plus we get to keep Bone Beast that way! (13 years ago.)
Gibbet Confinement KS I thought White might want a Pacifism effect. The bird from Soulsong is more for flavour than anything else. (13 years ago.)
Gibbet Confinement KS New card: 2W Enchantment - Aura C Enchanted Creature can't attack or block Soulsong - When Gibbet Confinement enters the battlefield, if you gained life this turn put a 1/1 white Bird creature token with Flying onto the battlefield. (13 years ago.)
Blind the Eye KS Yes it's a powered-down, colour-shifted Thought Scour, but the ability to interfere with the top of someone's library at instant speed is going to be quite useful I think. (13 years ago.)
Blind the Eye KS New card: B Instant C Target player puts the top card of their library into their graveyard. Draw a card. (13 years ago.)
Bloodseer KS Name changed from Cyclopean Slasher to Bloodseer (13 years ago.)
Tower Warden SOK doesn't look like he has changed, did you not save them? (13 years ago.)
Bloodseer KS Totally breaking my own rules about having these guys be survivable! (13 years ago.)
Cyclopean Slasher KS New card: 2R Creature - Cyclops C Foreshadow (Play with the top card of your library revealed) If the top card of your library is a creature card, Cyclopean Slasher has First Strike 3/1 (13 years ago.)
Soul Guardian TB I thought it was Tower Warden we were going to make a 3 drop (I already did that) so he couldn't block (much) and tap. (13 years ago.)
Think Fast SOK We discussed making this the sorcery "card advantage" spell but that interacts badly with its portent enabling. upping its cost to 3 or 4 and making it draw 3 cards and put one back on top leaves you no mana to cast your Portent card. (13 years ago.)
Hot Under the Collar SOK We mentioned shifting this to 4 damage. Will need increase in cost and/or increase in madness cost (13 years ago.)
Undervault Horde SOK No ways to abuse this at common so far, how bad is it that I kind of want Mass of Ghouls for this slot instead? (13 years ago.)
Soul Guardian SOK We suggested making him a 3 drop as white had none at common (13 years ago.)
Soul Guardian SOK Cost changed from 3W to 2W; Toughness changed from 4 to 2 (13 years ago.)
Life-Stealer TB Liked this. (13 years ago.)
Coffin Breaker TB This guy was great last night and is central to B's new graveyard theme. (13 years ago.)
Coffin Breaker TB Liked this. (13 years ago.)
Raid the Vaults TB Liked this. (13 years ago.)
Raid the Vaults TB Much better in playtesting last night. Simon managed to set it up so that if I attacked I would mill the raise dead-on-go-to-graveyard guy off the top of his library which was pretty cool. (13 years ago.)
Graveshade TB Great interaction with Abortionist and now that B is about graveyard/self-mill this guy seems nailed on for inclusion. (13 years ago.)
Graveshade TB Liked this. (13 years ago.)
Inspirationist TB Some suggestion this guy might need to be squeezed to uncommon as he is both really good and one of too many fliers in U common creatures. (13 years ago.)
Dissonance TB Liked this. (13 years ago.)
Deepwater Grasper TB Had another good run last night. (13 years ago.)
Tower Sentinels TB Does tremendous work. One of the cards I am happiest about in the whole set. (13 years ago.)
Ruminate TB Simplifying. All Portent costs are going to be the same as mana cost at common. (13 years ago.)
Think Fast TB Text changed from Portent U Draw two cards then discard a card. If ~ was cast for its Portent cost, instead draw a card. to Portent 2U Draw two cards then discard a card. (13 years ago.)
Scrypulse TB This or Think Fast need to be retired or moved to uncommon. I suspect this might end up being too strong when we move out of commons-only to a place where it can search out your bombish rare or combo piece so my vote goes to this. (13 years ago.)
Mindleech Avian TB I think giving it Portent and "I love Foreshadowing" is overkill? (13 years ago.)
Mindleech Avian TB Text changed from As long as the top card of your library is revealed, ~ has flying and +1/+1. Portent - 2U to As long as the top card of your library is revealed, ~ has flying and +1/+1. (13 years ago.)
Banish TB Liked this. (13 years ago.)
Thought Shards TB Another positive run out for this last night. I particularly like that you can play it off-color in R looting and it is awesome in that deck! (13 years ago.)
Shimmersprite TB All Portent cards are going to be the same as casting cost at common. Hopefully that doesn't nerf this guy too much. (13 years ago.)
Shimmersprite TB Text changed from Flying U: Put Shimmersprite face up on top of its owner's library. Portent U to Flying U: Put ~ face up on top of its owner's library. Portent 1U (13 years ago.)
Shimmersprite TB Liked this. (13 years ago.)
Exaltation of Larks TB Liked this. (13 years ago.)
Soul Guardian TB This guy is very good. He was pretty close to obnoxious last night but I can't remember if we agreed to reduce his stats or anything. If anyone else remembers please edit! (13 years ago.)
Tower Warden TB Nerfed him after testing him again last night so that he can't really block much. Also dropped cost as W has no 3-drop creature. (13 years ago.)
Overpowering Light TB Liked this. (13 years ago.)
Pageflame TB This worked well last night so we're leaving it as is for now. 2 damage definitely seems like it might be broken. (13 years ago.)
Flayed Sentry TB Text changed from B : Regenerate ~ Portent: Sacrifice a Creature to Foreshadow (Play with the top card of your library revealed.) B : Regenerate ~. (13 years ago.)
Carromantic Candle TB New card: 2 Artifact C Foreshadow (Play with the top card of your library revealed). 2, Sacrifice Carromantic Candle: Draw a card. (13 years ago.)
Great Tower Bat SOK Rarity changed from C to U (13 years ago.)
Withering Decay SOK Rarity changed from U to C (13 years ago.)
Mind Broken Mage SOK Bumping to rare for now. (13 years ago.)
Mind Broken Mage SOK Rarity changed from U to R; Text changed from Whenever you discard a card from your hand ~does 1 damage to target creature or player to Whenever you discard a card from your hand, ~ does 1 damage to target creature or player. (13 years ago.)
Battlefield Oracle PH Rarity changed from U to R (13 years ago.)
Battlefield Oracle PH yeah rare definitely (13 years ago.)
Battlefield Oracle KS I thought this was a rare! I really think it should be because its nuts with other Centaurs, fixes all your draws and acts like a Manaplasm! (13 years ago.)
Mind Broken Mage PH Something like this fits the R looting theme we're getting, might have to be rare though. Maybe make it damage itself as well to make it less bonkers? (13 years ago.)
Mind Broken Mage PH New card: 3R Creature - Human Wizard U Whenever you discard a card from your hand Mind Broken Magedoes 1 damage to target creature or player 2/2 (13 years ago.)
Anaran Squire KS Also basically had to remove the Fist Strike guy since they're now too similar. (13 years ago.)
Anaran Squire KS Changed to be a 2/1 to calm fears of being OP at common. (13 years ago.)
Fanatical Devotee KS Power changed from 3 to 2 (13 years ago.)
Battlefield Oracle TB I don't think we can/should do this at common. (13 years ago.)
Battlefield Oracle TB Rarity changed from C to U (13 years ago.)
Ancestral Odyssey TB I think I was still right to give him the turn even though he made a reasonable amount of hay with it. You may be right that it is basically Time Walk for UUU but it just happens that abusing Time Walk is not as simple as just casting it. (13 years ago.)
Mirror Ghoul TB Name changed from Fen Bear to Mirror Ghoul; Type changed from Creature - Zombie Bear to Creature - Zombie; Text changed from Whenever ~ blocks or becomes blocked by a creature, that creature becomes a 2/2 Bear. (This effect lasts indefinitely.) to Whenever ~ blocks or becomes blocked by a creature, that creature becomes a 2/2 Zombie. (This effect lasts indefinitely.) (13 years ago.)
Mirror Ghoul TB I think this strange effect can live at uncommon if we keep it. (13 years ago.)
Fen Bear TB Rarity changed from C to U (13 years ago.)
Raid the Vaults TB In playtesting this was found to be lackluster, probably because of the lack of support of Portent creatures. As we up the number of those this will get better. I like that it goes in GB and UB for different reasons. (13 years ago.)
Think Fast TB Chose this over Consider (draw 2, put 2) as that is actual card disadvantage and this is going in the U common card drawing slot. (13 years ago.)
Anaran Squire TB A 4/2 for 1W, even one you have worked for, seems OP to me at common. Compare Blade of the Sixth Pride. A 2/1 that becomes a 3/2 seems better? (13 years ago.)
Prescience Wand TB Oh man, now it is cool! (13 years ago.)
Mindleech Avian PH another portent candidate I reckon (13 years ago.)
Mindleech Avian PH Text changed from As long as the top card of your library is revealed, Mindleech Avian has flying and +1/+1. to As long as the top card of your library is revealed, ~ has flying and +1/+1. Portent - 2U (13 years ago.)
Ghastlord of the Black Tower TB Could we always give him Vampiric Tutor? Cards are in your opening hand as often as they are on top of your library and he's not much of a Lord if he is a 5/5 for 6 with no ability. Don't want to break anything, though! Rune-Scarred Demon is a 6/6 flier for 7 with Demonic Tutor. Not the kind of card I want in our set at all, though, so conflicted! (13 years ago.)
Mindcoil Serpent TB Liked this. (13 years ago.)
Unravelling Thoughts SOK Yeah, I agree. I'm just wary that we have taken out or disliked almost every answer/hoser to the lifegain deck. Will need to see how it plays out. (13 years ago.)
Ruminate SOK I think we have a glut of card maipulation cards in blue at common. Maybe lose either this or Ruminate? We could give Ruminate a Portent cost that might work out okay. Or move Scrypulse to Uncommon. (13 years ago.)
Ruminate TB Could simplify this by making it do the same thing and have the same cost for Portent. Still not sure if we can make Portent the same as the normal cost by default and have the exceptions call it out on the card? (13 years ago.)
Unravelling Thoughts TB Don't think we want super milling at common unless milling is a theme of the set. Prefer it to be occasionally viable rather than one of the main plans? (13 years ago.)
Unravelling Thoughts TB Rarity changed from C to U (13 years ago.)
Grave Geist TB Text changed from Sacrifice ~: Put a -1/-1 counter on target creature. Unearth 3B to Sacrifice ~: Put a -1/-1 counter on target creature. Unearth 5B (13 years ago.)
Grave Geist KS Trying it at six might be good. (13 years ago.)
Prescience Wand KS This seems better as it feels more like an equipment and you can't just use it repeatedly on your turn if you have nothing better to do. (13 years ago.)
Prescience Wand SOK trying it this way (13 years ago.)
Prescience Wand SOK Text changed from Equip 2 Whenever ~ becomes equipped, scry 2 to Equip 1 Equipped creature has "T: Scry 2" (13 years ago.)
Prescience Wand SOK Well the idea was that the creature is using the wand to glimpse the future, I see your point about it triggering on equip, should probably be a tap ability. (13 years ago.)
Ancestral Odyssey SOK Good to see, I was kind of worried that it would always be the right choice to give theme the turn rather than the cards. Maybe there is little difference in this set... (13 years ago.)
Grave Geist SOK Only issue with the making it a when it dies trigger is that we only have Flayed Sentry as a sac outlet at common currently. Would need more enablers. Maybe 6 mana unearth cost? (13 years ago.)
Rise Up TB Trying it at a lower cost to see if we can get it to "looks playable" to find out if it is secretly busted! (13 years ago.)
Rise Up TB Cost changed from 3W to 2W (13 years ago.)
Ransack the Shelves TB Haven't seen it played yet I'm afraid. (13 years ago.)
Rise Up KS Perhaps this is one of those effects that's impossible to cost correctly! At four it's turning out to be terrible, but at some cost it's definitely busted! (13 years ago.)
Tower Sentinels TB Yeah, it works great how it is. (13 years ago.)
Tower Sentinels KS Blue always needs a 1/4 and it seems like the best fit for the ability because it won't die often. (13 years ago.)
Grave Geist KS Maybe replace sacrificing it for the ability with a 'when it dies' ability? Then you'd have to work for it. Would help bring sacrifice back into black as well! (13 years ago.)
Grave Geist TB Options for nerfing slightly: up the original cost, up the Unearth cost. Which do we like? I think upping the Unearth cost to something high like a Forbidden Alchemy or Moan of the Unhallowed flashback cost is best? It no longer mimics Geistflame at that point but it can block & sac so it is better than Geistflame? Although it is on-board rather than an instant. (13 years ago.)
Foalyard Attendant TB Text changed from Flash When Bearback Raider enters the battlefield, put a 2/2 green Centaur creature token onto the battlefield to Flash When ~ enters the battlefield, put a 2/2 green Centaur creature token onto the battlefield (13 years ago.)
Flayed Sentry KS The Portent cost is awesome if black retains its minor sacrifice theme. Dalgath Apprentice, Dalgath Prowler, Undervault Horde and Coffin Breaker are all fine to sacrifice for a free creature but in the last common cull zero of them made it in. Undervault Horde should probably end up replacing Bone Beast at least - even though that guy is the best! (13 years ago.)
Flayed Sentry KS Dropped down to 1B since his Portent is mostly unplayable. (13 years ago.)
Flayed Sentry KS Cost changed from 2B to 1B (13 years ago.)
Tower Sentinels TB This guy is good in any U deck with portent and library manipulation. Could easily be a 1/3, or anything really, but having this effect at common is key. (13 years ago.)
Invalidate TB No one seems very impressed with this. It does combo with Foreshadow and I think it may be a card that might be better than it looks for that reason. Although knowing it will be Mana Leak is not much of a reward for setting up Foreshadow and running this card. It's a shame that one of our few cards with a shuffle effect doesn't let you shuffle at a time of your choosing. If we generally depower the cards this one won't need altering! :) (13 years ago.)
Great Tower Bat TB Text changed from Flying Discard a card: Regenerate to Flying Discard a card: Regenerate ~. (13 years ago.)
Vital Librarian TB Trying the most obvious fix for now to see if it works. (13 years ago.)
Vital Librarian TB Text changed from Whenever you gain life you may draw a card. Lifelink. to Whenever you gain life you may pay 1. If you do, draw a card. Lifelink.; Toughness changed from 4 to 3 (13 years ago.)
Freya's Blessing TB Thinking about making this target player as a hoser for Capricious Demon of which there is only one so far. A 4/4 for 3B should definitely have genuine risk attached, I think. (13 years ago.)
Vital Librarian TB No longer a turtle so lowering toughness to make him less ridiculous. (13 years ago.)
Vital Librarian TB Note that all infinite combos with Vigorous Study also happen with this guy so he will need to be nerfed in a similar way. (13 years ago.)
Forkcaster Mage TB One player tried to say this was better than Snapcaster Mage but most disagreed. (13 years ago.)
Grave Geist TB I added the note "V. Good. Too good at B?" Someone added during the draft, "Yes!" (13 years ago.)
Great Tower Bat TB Notes from testing: "AWESOME!" His vulnerability to one damage removal coupled with regen makes for great gameplay. (13 years ago.)
Hot Under the Collar TB Still good but similarity to Fiery Temper is still annoying! (13 years ago.)
Radical Mage TB Louis approved this in all-commons testing. (13 years ago.)
Embryo Thief TB Actually I"m not sure that any of the infinite combos involve this card exactly. I did drain Mills for about 10 while drawing my entire library at some point but that was incidental to the brokenness. Futurist is the guy with true infinite combo. (13 years ago.)
Prescience Wand TB I just don't like scrying because you equipped something. What's the meaning of that? Flagged in playtesting with "too good?" (13 years ago.)
Ancestral Odyssey TB Had this played against me once with opponent still with a bunch of mana open and Diviner's Familiar on top and a "reveal top card" guy out. Had to give him the turn in which he drew Familiar, made it, drew the next guy and made that. Pretty damn good for UUU and a card but seems within reason for a rare so far ... got my eye on this on though! (13 years ago.)
Battlefield Oracle TB Notes from testing: "Pretty nuts" and "Should give +X/+X on creature only?" (13 years ago.)
Prescience Wand SOK Aesthetic in which way? Can always bring it back down to Scry 1 (13 years ago.)
Call the Titans TB Signature rare for R in the set. 100% sold on this one. The mana is steep and it doesn't win you the game even if you combo off but worth going for it. (13 years ago.)
Thought Shards TB Positive response in all-Commons. (13 years ago.)
Bearback Rider TB Liked this. (13 years ago.)
Bearback Rider TB Also, this card is cool. Even if Mills did keep playing it at Sorcery speed. (13 years ago.)
Bearback Rider SOK Wow, I always assumed it was Bearbac Rider! (13 years ago.)
Foalyard Attendant SOK Name changed from Bearback Raider to Foalyard Attendant; Text changed from Flash When Bearback Raider enters the battlefield, put a 2/2 green Bear creature token onto the battlefield to Flash When Bearback Raider enters the battlefield, put a 2/2 green Centaur creature token onto the battlefield (13 years ago.)
Pageflame SOK Howabout we revisit the 1r 2 damage version? (13 years ago.)
Bearback Rider TB Cannot read this as anything other than Bearback Rider. Also, are we have Bear tokens or Centaur tokens? (13 years ago.)
Centaur Preceptor TB Text changed from When ~ enters the battlefield, search your library for a creature card with converted mana cost 3 and reveal that card. Shuffle your library, then put that card on top of it. to When ~ enters the battlefield, search your library for a creature card with converted mana cost 3 and reveal that card. Shuffle your library, then put that card on top of it face up. (13 years ago.)
Soulstoke Engine TB Provoked the question "why do you have the exact same card twice at different costs?" in draft. I guess we already know we have to pick this or Searing Meditation. Does it have to RR? I can see a WBr deck that splashes Searing/this and Chaplain-General being very good. (13 years ago.)
Graven Servitor TB I think this guy is a super cool common in a lower-powered set. When playing with proportionally more commons he may have more chance. (13 years ago.)
Pageflame TB This seemed to be "too much work/mana for the big reward". Can we push it anyhow? (13 years ago.)
Raid the Library TB Some possibility this is too good? (13 years ago.)
Graveshade TB This was windmill-slammed by the RB dredge/loot player in our draft. No idea how it played out but he seemed pleased about it. (13 years ago.)
Mindleech Avian TB Cool card. Plays well. Combo in Common with Tower Sentinels. (13 years ago.)
Mindleech Avian TB Liked this. (13 years ago.)
Ruminate TB Good in UR. (13 years ago.)
Soul Guardian TB If you aren't combo-ing with your lifegain no amount of incidental lifegain seems to change the fundamental winner once a player has a strong board advantage. When you put the pieces together it creates board (or card) advantage so that's different. So I don't think the format actually does end up being that slow. It's hard to get big chunks of life, only small amounts, anyway. This guys is pretty awesome. Plays well. Combo with Shimmersprite is fun but not broken. (13 years ago.)
Life-Stealer TB This guy is still surprisingly good at 4B. Evasion is really good in this format currently. (13 years ago.)
Impatient Mage TB Used to good effect in the looting deck. (13 years ago.)
Lostsight Counsel TB This is so fun. Louis used it to pull himself out of a hole in one of our games but could not be called broken. Cool stuff. (13 years ago.)
Overpowering Light TB It is quite easy to trigger this in W decks at which point it is awesome. Not broken, though. Good. (13 years ago.)
Looting Charm TB Louis found this very strong but I don't think it is broken. I like it. (13 years ago.)
Prescience Wand TB Used to great effect by Louis in all-commons. I don't like it on aesthetic grounds. It's actually very good, probably too good, as you can use it multiple times per turn as long as you have two creatures. (13 years ago.)
Goblin Archer TB Was called out by a drafter as a cool card. (13 years ago.)
Embryo Thief TB This guy is fairly broken in conjunction with Vital Librarian or Vigorous Study. There are infinite combos with this guy which we should remove or not down with an activation cost, possibly T. Can also jump start some of the other infinite combos by gaining the first life. (13 years ago.)
Horrifying Vision SOK Filling a hole. All our common black spells are removal. We can either use this or maybe turn Tom's 5B discard uncommon into a common? (13 years ago.)
Horrifying Vision SOK New card: 3B Sorcery C Target player discards two cards. Portent 3B (13 years ago.)
Freya's Blessing TB Does good work. Definitely not OP. Bit of a skilltester/thinker to know whether to pull the trigger when land-light, etc. or hold on to it and get more value. (13 years ago.)
Banish TB I had an Enchantment Banish'ed earlier today. That was quite cool. (13 years ago.)
Call the Titans TB Build-around-me rare. Louis made 4 giants against me, but lost :) (13 years ago.)
Diviner's Familiar TB Would probably still be good at 3U, though. (13 years ago.)
Diviner's Familiar TB Really good. Pays you off for playing with themes of the set but not OP. (13 years ago.)
Simple Offering TB The R and the W combo decks have very important enchantments. It might make sense to make this an instant. (13 years ago.)
Tower Warden TB This guy is very strong because he can block as well as "tap". Probably needs to be a 1/1 or something. We errattaed him to untap the creature as well as remove it but he was still awesome. Good card and interesting twist on tapping but will have to think about if he is too good. (13 years ago.)
Battlefield Oracle TB This guy is definitely a bit broken. Or at least is very good. Probably a bit complex/good for a common. (13 years ago.)
Exaltation of Larks TB Fine guy. (13 years ago.)
Prudent Adaptation TB Seemed pretty good without being busted. (13 years ago.)
Deepwater Grasper TB Seemed pretty good without being busted. (13 years ago.)
Shimmersprite TB Seemed pretty good in UW commons - gaining life like crazy off Soul Guardian in the late game and blocking but not dying, etc. Can also prevent you from decking if you are in a deck that wants that (the U decks and UR decks that draw a lot of cards probably do - it came up once). However went last pick in 5-man draft. UR, WB, mono G, RB, WR were the colors so I guess the UR player didn't want it and that was that so not necessarily a criticism. He may not actually need Flash. (13 years ago.)
Rise Up TB Pretty sure this is not broken as Kieran feared. Played it in WB today and it was not even good really. (13 years ago.)
Angry Giant TB Described as a key card in the R looting deck. (13 years ago.)
Flayed Sentry TB I still hate that we are wasting this amazing portent cost on this terrible card. What would sac to get this???! (13 years ago.)
Flayed Sentry SOK I think this guy can be 1B. Manor Skeleton is the same but has haste, this has a tough portent cost, especially as Portent is sorcery speed only. (13 years ago.)
Signal Stone SOK Common mana fixing artifact (13 years ago.)
Signal Solitaire SOK New card: 2 Artifact C Sacrifice Signal Solitaire: Search your library for a basic land card and put it into your hand Sacrifice Signal Solitaire: Scry 2 (13 years ago.)
Ransack the Shelves SOK Has anyone got to play with this yet? I wan to know if it is good/bad / not interesting. (13 years ago.)
Anaran Squire KS More Soulsong. Yay! (13 years ago.)
Fanatical Devotee KS New card: 1W Creature - Human Soldier C Soulsong - Fanatical Devotee enters the battlefield with a +1/+1 counter on it if you gained life this turn. 3/1 (13 years ago.)
Angry Giant TB Liked this. (13 years ago.)
Angry Giant TB Three times Louis did fun things with this with the looters in R. Not madly over powered but a surprise 3/3 is no joke. (13 years ago.)
Rise Up TB Louis deemed this unplayable in all-Commons limited and cut it from his W deck. Hmm. (13 years ago.)
Rise Up TB On the watchlist for potentially being too powerful. (13 years ago.)
Centaur Preceptor SOK Conscript sounds far too military, changing it. (13 years ago.)
Centaur Preceptor SOK Name changed from Centaur Conscriptor to Centaur Preceptor (13 years ago.)
Tower Relic SOK Name changed from Tower Signet to Tower Relic (13 years ago.)
Dalgath Thug SOK Not sure why this was Uncommon (13 years ago.)
Dalgath Prowler SOK Rarity changed from U to C (13 years ago.)
Dueling Mage KS New card: 1R Creature - Human Wizard C Discard a card: Dueling Mage gains First Strike until end of turn. 2/1 (13 years ago.)
Shimmersprite KS This guy might need to be uncommon if he gets flash as well. That would leave another opening for a common Portent guy, though! (13 years ago.)
Deepwater Grasper KS Love it (13 years ago.)
Prudent Adaptation SOK Adding flash so it can at least be a combat trick off a reveal. (13 years ago.)
Prudent Adaptation SOK Cost changed from 2G to 3G; Text changed from Enchant Creature Target creature gets +2/+2 and has trample. Portent 2G to Enchant Creature Flash Target creature gets +2/+2 and has trample. Portent 2G (13 years ago.)
Deepwater Grasper SOK With unite gone, I've reworked this guy. Now has some nice symmetry. If cast from hand he bounces to hand, if cast from top of library he bounces to top of library. (13 years ago.)
Deepwater Grasper SOK Cost changed from 2UU to 3U; Text changed from Unite 2 - When ~ enters the battlefield, return target creature to its owners hand. If you control at least 2 other permanents that share a colour with ~, then put target creature on top of its owners library instead. to Portent 3U When ~ enters the battlefield, return target creature to its owners hand. If this was played for its portent cost, then put target creature on top of its owners library instead. (13 years ago.)
Shimmersprite TB If we go with the non-Miracle version of Portent then this guy needs to have Flash. (13 years ago.)
Exaltation of Larks TB If we made this an ETB effect then you could stack it with Soul Guardian so that you get the bonus. (13 years ago.)
Soulbrethren TB If we made this an ETB effect then you could stack it with Soul Guardian so that you get the bonus. (13 years ago.)
Pageflame TB Cost changed from 1R to R; Text changed from ~ deals 2 damage to target creature or player Mindstorm - When you cast this spell, put a copy of it onto the stack for each card put into your graveyard from your hand this turn to ~ deals 1 damage to target creature or player Mindstorm - When you cast this spell, put a copy of it onto the stack for each card put into your graveyard from your hand this turn (13 years ago.)
Pageflame KS I think R for 1 damage would be fine and it makes it more playable with spells that loot as well as creatures. (13 years ago.)
Graven Servitor KS Moved to Common at Tom's suggestion (13 years ago.)
Graven Servitor KS Rarity changed from U to C (13 years ago.)
Pageflame TB Should it cost more and do 2, or cost R and do 1? 3 damage is about the top end if it does 1 so I'd say we can safely cost that at R. (13 years ago.)
Zealous Protector TB Need a new common for this guy's slot! (13 years ago.)
Zealous Protector TB Rarity changed from C to U (13 years ago.)
Battlefield Oracle TB Type changed from Creature - Human Druid to Creature - Centaur Druid (13 years ago.)
Tower Warden TB Type changed from Creature - Bear Cleric to Creature - Human Cleric (13 years ago.)
Battlefield Oracle KS Agree this should be a centaur - though still a Druid or possibly Shaman (13 years ago.)
Pageflame KS This might make it totally busted since you can spread it around multiple creatures and Mindstorming at least once should be pretty easy in a red deck. (13 years ago.)
Zealous Protector KS I still think this should be an uncommon. I love Determined Pilgrim because there's a choice on whether or not to kill him and thus enable soulsong and I think that's what the white commons should be like. (13 years ago.)
Pageflame TB Is this completely broken at 2 damage? It's hard to Mindstorm for more than a single additional copy so that would put it at 4 for 2, better than Incinerate but you had to work for it. It would combo with looting charm (also a common) for 6 damage for 3 mana. But given that that is the combo rather than the normal outcome it seems better than 3 damage for 3 mana (i.e. worse than Incinerate) being the unusual but doable outcome. Could up the cost to 2R? But I like it low. (13 years ago.)
Pageflame TB Text changed from Pageflame deals 1 damage to target creature or player Mindstorm - When you cast this spell, put a copy of it onto the stack for each card put into your graveyard from your hand this turn to ~ deals 2 damage to target creature or player Mindstorm - When you cast this spell, put a copy of it onto the stack for each card put into your graveyard from your hand this turn (13 years ago.)
Battlefield Oracle PH do we keyword the centaur ability? Call it Charger or something? (13 years ago.)
Battlefield Oracle SOK Yeah, maybe just standardize the centaurs and move the scry ability to one of them. It is a cool way of setting them up. (13 years ago.)
Simple Offering TB Liked this. (13 years ago.)
Zealous Protector TB Trying to tame him a little as Kieran thinks he is too good and I want to keep him at Common. (13 years ago.)
Zealous Protector TB Toughness changed from 2 to 1 (13 years ago.)
Graven Servitor TB Shouldn't he be our Common artifact? Spreading the theme and being generally playable but not exciting? (13 years ago.)
Battlefield Oracle TB Should be a Centaur? Too similar to Centaurs? (13 years ago.)
Centaur Preceptor TB Liked this. (13 years ago.)
Diviner's Familiar TB 2/2 flier for U that pays you off for setting up Foreshadow is good in my book. (13 years ago.)
Diviner's Familiar TB Liked this. (13 years ago.)
Tower Sentinels TB Bringing top-of-library to Common very handily. Might be better as a 1/3. (13 years ago.)
Tower Sentinels TB Liked this. (13 years ago.)
Bloodvine's Thorns TB Changed the name. What do you think? (13 years ago.)
Bloodvine's Thorns TB Name changed from Bloodvine's Claws to Bloodvine's Thorns (13 years ago.)
Tower Relic KS If we're continuing with retrace and landfall as themes a version of Khalni Gem would actually be pretty awesome in this format! (13 years ago.)
Tower Relic TB This is definitely above the curve for mana rocks. Not sure if that's a problem or not. Compare Altar of the Lost or Khalni Gem! (13 years ago.)
Tower Relic TB Yes I meant because of the name. Let's cut Signet from the name rather than making it more fiddly! "Lotus Cauldron"? :) (13 years ago.)
Tower Relic SOK Whats the reasoning behind forcing two different colours? Just to tie into the name? I think it is a little more awkward and we can just change the name! If we really wanted we could make it cost 2, and just be an uber signet which would be broken in real magic, but maybe okay in our set? (13 years ago.)
Great Tower Bat SOK Yes that was pretty cool! Some nice tension on whether to be aggressive, defend, discard or not. All moot if I had just remembered to unearth my Geistflame zombie! (13 years ago.)
Great Tower Bat SOK Liked this. (13 years ago.)
Vile Mimic TB This guy is pretty awesome. Not as first-pick-bomb as Evil Twin because of the leaves play clause and I like that a lot. Created an interesting game state with Spined Leaper where I got to sac my mimicked creature to make him fly because he was going to die anyway. (13 years ago.)
Vile Mimic TB Liked this. (13 years ago.)
Corrupt Seer TB I think we might have made this a real winner with pay 2 life. Used him to shift a land for Throw from the Tower to great effect but you can't just rifle through lands looking for action - you'll die! (13 years ago.)
Grave Geist TB This guy might actually be too good. Fun card for sure but pretty gamewinning for a 1-drop if he does something like take out two Great Tower Bats. (13 years ago.)
Grave Geist TB Liked this. (13 years ago.)
Tower Relic TB Should it be two different colors or is that just making it more awkward? (13 years ago.)
Tower Relic TB I find the Signet behavior a little fiddly compared to your average mana rock. (13 years ago.)
Hot Under the Collar TB It's still just Fiery Temper for R more, though, which is annoying. (13 years ago.)
Hot Under the Collar TB Twice in two games all I wanted to do was draw this card. Removal that kills things with more than 2 toughness! (13 years ago.)
Hot Under the Collar TB Liked this. (13 years ago.)
Inspirationist TB Never sad to see this little fella. What a boss. (13 years ago.)
Throw from the Tower TB Never sad to see this. Seems fair and good. Contributes to fliers being amazing in this set, though. We probably need to up the proportion of fliers. (13 years ago.)
Great Tower Bat TB Just had an epic Great Tower Bat fight with Simon with Great Tower Bats on both sides. I don't care what I'm drawing, I'm going to discard it in a bat-fight! (13 years ago.)
Mirror Ghoul TB This is actually quite a lot worse than deathtouch because it means that a 1/1 man can take him down. It also means getting a +1/+1 counter on him makes him unkillable by a single foe! Very fun card. (13 years ago.)
Mirror Ghoul TB Liked this. (13 years ago.)
Call the Titans TB I think Mindstorm in general as a few build-around-me cards for the looting deck is awesome despite having been skeptical when I first saw it. (13 years ago.)
Call the Titans TB Liked this. (13 years ago.)
Call the Titans TB I really like this card but by the time you get to six mana you don't have many cards in had to do some crazy looting. I haven't cast it for more than 1 yet despite crafting a deck whose entire plan was to do just that. The deck couldn't deal with creatures with 3 or more toughness, though, else it might have had time to do more. (13 years ago.)
Centaur Nullifier TB Removing Uktabi in favor of something from the set. (13 years ago.)
Centaur Nullifier TB Name changed from Uktabi Nullifier to Centaur Nullifier; Type changed from Creature to Creature - Centaur Druid (13 years ago.)
Corrupt Seer TB I declare this Corrupt Seer the winner and thus rename him. (13 years ago.)
Corrupt Seer TB Name changed from Corrupt Seer V2 to Corrupt Seer; Text changed from Play with the top card of your library revealed. Pay 2 life: put the top card of your library on the bottom of your library. to Play with the top card of your library revealed. Pay 2 life: put the top card of your library on the bottom of your library. (13 years ago.)
Bound to Serve RM Liked this. (13 years ago.)
Sue For Peace RM Liked this. (13 years ago.)
Tyroshi Raiders PH like it, nice and simple. (13 years ago.)
Tyroshi Raiders PH Liked this. (13 years ago.)
Empty the Libraries RM what is mind storm? (13 years ago.)
Deepwater Grasper SOK oops forgot about the P/T! Probably fairer here, since he is a common. (13 years ago.)
Deepwater Grasper SOK Power changed from 3 to 2 (13 years ago.)
Diviner's Familiar KS Simon hit an Island with this by being a complete lucksack! (Because naming the most common card in your deck is clearly being lucky rather than clever) (13 years ago.)
Diviner's Familiar KS Liked this. (13 years ago.)
Banish KS Liked this. (13 years ago.)
Deepwater Grasper TB Woah, this guy just got very strong! Mist Raven eat your heart out? Probably flying and one less power is better than the Unite dismisser but this guy is definitely good now. (13 years ago.)
Sunsoul Lark KS This is the first of my own guys I've liked but he does really good work for the lifegain deck and equipping him with a dagger against Tom was pretty cool. (13 years ago.)
Sunsoul Lark KS Liked this. (13 years ago.)
Determined Pilgrim TB There are 43 mono W creatures with dies triggers: http://magiccards.info/query?q=o%3Awhen+o%3Adies+c%3Aw+NOT+c%3Am+t%3Acreature+-o%3A%22another+creature%22&v=card&s=cname ... Academy Rector, Archon of Justice, Doomed Traveler, Mausoleum Guard are all notable examples and all really cool! :) I think we're good there. He's a pretty good guy to have when you have Break the Twin Grave and a single Human or Cleric in the bin. (13 years ago.)
Freya's Blessing KS Liked this. (13 years ago.)
Deepwater Grasper SOK Like it Kieran! I think I have to word it like this though (13 years ago.)
Deepwater Grasper SOK Cost changed from 4UU to 2UU; Text changed from Unite 1 - When ~ enters the battlefield, if you control at least 1 other permanents that share a colour with ~, then put target creature on top of its owners library to Unite 2 - When ~ enters the battlefield, return target creature to its owners hand. If you control at least 2 other permanents that share a colour with ~, then put target creature on top of its owners library instead. (13 years ago.)
Tyroshi Raiders KS Red needs some evasion to help break board stalls. (13 years ago.)
Tyroshi Raiders KS New card: 4R Creature - Human Warrior C Intimidate 3/3 (13 years ago.)
Determined Pilgrim KS I like this far more than the lifelink creatures because it creates combat-phase tension. Do you block it and enable Soulsong for your opponent or do you keep taking two damage? With (for example) the 2/1 lifelinker there is none of that tension. (13 years ago.)
Determined Pilgrim KS Liked this. (13 years ago.)
Deepwater Grasper KS Why not change the ability based on unite? Make him a 2/2 for 4, make the normal ability Aether Adept, then get the Dismisser ability for Unite 2? Then he's never useless and the unite ability is an awesome bonus. (13 years ago.)
Deepwater Grasper SOK Unite 2 can actually be hard to get, and this guy is miserable without it. (13 years ago.)
Deepwater Grasper SOK Text changed from Unite 2 - When ~ enters the battlefield, if you control at least 2 other permanents that share a colour with ~, then put target creature on top of its owners library to Unite 1 - When ~ enters the battlefield, if you control at least 1 other permanents that share a colour with ~, then put target creature on top of its owners library (13 years ago.)
Vital Librarian TB Type changed from Creature - Turtle Cleric to Creature - Human Cleric (13 years ago.)
Zealous Protector TB Important enough to the Lifelink deck to make Common, I think. Voiceless Spirit is just as good and Common. (13 years ago.)
Zealous Protector TB Rarity changed from U to C (13 years ago.)
Sunsoul Lark TB This little guy is pretty awesome. (13 years ago.)
Sunsoul Lark TB Liked this. (13 years ago.)
Protective Elder TB Type changed from Creature - Turtle Cleric to Creature - Human Cleric; Toughness changed from 4 to 3 (13 years ago.)
Shimmersprite TB He can also trigger "when another creature ETB" effects over and over for UU. Not sure if we have any way to do anything other than gain a few life with that but the triggers might be useful. (13 years ago.)
Shimmersprite SOK This guy is pretty cool. Vigilance for UU. Very similar to Lantern Spirit in Innistrad. Might want to make this guy an Uncommon too? (13 years ago.)
Embryo Thief TB I got the Abortionist + Graveshade combination again. Pretty awesome. (13 years ago.)
Blessed Pilgrim TB The problem with the lifegain deck unlike the looting deck is that it cannot reliably get multiple triggers out of one card to reward it for all the setup. This card tries to solve that. (13 years ago.)
Blessed Pilgrim TB New card: W Creature - Human Cleric C T: Target player gains 1 life 1/1 (13 years ago.)
Goblin Archer TB Liked this. (13 years ago.)
Anara Falconer TB This is so good. Really fun. Great topdeck facing down two (small) lethal guys! (13 years ago.)
Prescience Wand SOK The idea was that it would be a bit like Crystal Ball, which I have only just looked at. Didn't realize it is Scry 2! Bumped this. (13 years ago.)
Prescience Wand SOK Text changed from Equip 2 Whenever ~ becomes equipped, scry 1 to Equip 2 Whenever ~ becomes equipped, scry 2 (13 years ago.)
Unravelling Thoughts SOK Evidence from actual playtesting is so valuable! I guess in traditional cube there would be only 1 copy so the danger is lessened,but if it is playing about as good as Increasing Confusion, then it probably needs to increase in cost and rarity. Feel free to keep changing it. (13 years ago.)
Unravelling Thoughts TB Should almost certainly not be Common otherwise mill is going to be a ridiculously good drafting strategy. (13 years ago.)
Looting Charm TB This is awesome. Haven't used gain haste yet but the other modes are both great. Good enabler for the super looting deck. (13 years ago.)
Looting Charm TB Liked this. (13 years ago.)
Prescience Wand TB Does this do enough to want to put your mana into it? (13 years ago.)
Empty the Libraries TB Liked this. (13 years ago.)
Empty the Libraries TB Works well with Looting Charm and anything else that lets you loot twice in a turn. (13 years ago.)
Unravelling Thoughts TB Correction, it was X=15 on turn 7. (13 years ago.)
Unravelling Thoughts TB Reducing to X, which may still be too good. Just got it off for X=11 on turn 7. (13 years ago.)
Unravelling Thoughts TB Text changed from Target player puts the top X cards of his or her library into their graveyard, where X is equal to twice the number of cards in your graveyard. to Target player puts the top X cards of his or her library into their graveyard, where X is the number of cards in your graveyard. (13 years ago.)
Unravelling Thoughts TB This card can be quite instawin. I just played this (admittedly on turn 14 in the nuts UR looting deck) for 40 cards and passed the turn to win the game. Even at X not twice X it would have won me the game in my opponent's next draw step. (13 years ago.)
Sue For Peace KS Retired my wrath variant as this seems more popular (13 years ago.)
Sue For Peace SOK Text changed from The player who controls the most creatures gains X life where X is the number of creatures on the battlefield. Destroy all creatures. to Destroy all creatures. Each opponent gains 1 life for each creature destroyed this way. (13 years ago.)
Sue For Peace TB Text changed from The player who controls the most creatures gains X life where X is the number of creatures in play. Destroy all creatures. to The player who controls the most creatures gains X life where X is the number of creatures on the battlefield. Destroy all creatures. (13 years ago.)
Mass Conscription PH push harder? (13 years ago.)
Mass Conscription SOK Pushing it. Not even sure it is that great even at this cost. (13 years ago.)
Mass Conscription SOK Cost changed from 6GG to 3GG (13 years ago.)
Embryo Thief TB Liked this. (13 years ago.)
Sue For Peace TB I guess even cleaner is: Destroy all creatures. Each opponent gains 1 life for each creature destroyed this way. And 9 times out of 10 that is the same effect. Or Target opponent. (13 years ago.)
Engorged Murlodont SOK done (13 years ago.)
Engorged Murlodont SOK Name changed from Engorged Kavu to Engorged Murlodont; Type changed from Creature - Kavu to Creature - Beast (13 years ago.)
Sue For Peace SOK Yes yours is cleaner. (13 years ago.)
Sue For Peace SOK Text changed from Destroy all creatures. The player who had the most creatures destroyed this way gains 1 life for each creature destroyed this way. to The player who controls the most creatures gains X life where X is the number of creatures in play. Destroy all creatures. (13 years ago.)
Embryo Thief TB This guy *may* be too good but he is definitely fun. Getting him out with three or four creatures in a row on top of your library with Graveshade in play is awesome. Drain you for 4, make my 1/1 into a 5/5! (13 years ago.)
Mass Conscription TB Seems unplayable at this cost. (13 years ago.)
Mass Conscription TB Disliked this. (13 years ago.)
Inspirationist TB Liked this. (13 years ago.)
Freya's Blessing TB Liked this. (13 years ago.)
Zealous Protector TB Name changed from Protector of the White Tower to Zealous Protector (13 years ago.)
Zealous Protector TB Works great with Overpowering Light. (13 years ago.)
Protector of the White Tower TB New card: 2W Creature - Human Cleric Solider U First strike, Lifelink 2/2 (13 years ago.)
Overpowering Light TB Now all you need is a first-striking Lifelinker ... (13 years ago.)
Lostsight Counsel TB Liked this. (13 years ago.)
Lostsight Counsel TB Text changed from Draw a card You may cast Lostsight Counsel from your sideboard to Draw a card You may cast ~ from outside the game. (13 years ago.)
Graven Servitor KS Rarity changed from C to U (13 years ago.)
Sue For Peace TB Is this better? The player who controls the most creatures gains X life where X is the number of creatures in play. Destroy all creatures. (13 years ago.)
Sue For Peace TB Text changed from Destroy all creatures. The player who had the most creatures destroyed this way, gains 1 life for each creature destroyed this way. to Destroy all creatures. The player who had the most creatures destroyed this way gains 1 life for each creature destroyed this way. (13 years ago.)
Graven Servitor KS A big guy for everyone to play! (13 years ago.)
Graven Servitor KS New card: 6 Artifact Creature - Golem C Portent 6 5/4 (13 years ago.)
Engorged Murlodont TB I know it's a reference to other cards but can we make this a Beast not a Kavu as it is our only Kavu? (13 years ago.)
Vital Librarian TB Type changed from Creature - Turtle Wizard to Creature - Turtle Cleric (13 years ago.)
Protective Elder TB Type changed from Creature - Turtle Wizard to Creature - Turtle Cleric (13 years ago.)
Vital Librarian TB Type changed from Creature - Turtle to Creature - Turtle Wizard (13 years ago.)
Protective Elder TB Type changed from Creature - Turtle to Creature - Turtle Wizard (13 years ago.)
Sue For Peace GG Liked this. (13 years ago.)
Battlefield Oracle TB Type changed from Creature - Human Shaman to Creature - Human Druid (13 years ago.)
Radical Mage TB Name changed from Lootman to Radical Mage (13 years ago.)
Impatient Mage TB Name changed from Hasty Looter to Impatient Mage; Text changed from Haste T, Discard a card: Draw a card. to Haste T, Discard a card: Draw a card. (13 years ago.)
Protective Elder TB Name changed from Team Lifelinker to Protective Elder (13 years ago.)
Simple Offering TB New card: 2GW Sorcery C Destroy target artifact or enchantment. You gain 1 life. (13 years ago.)
Corrupt Seer TB Liked this. (13 years ago.)
Battlefield Oracle SOK Name changed from Future Beast #2 to Battlefield Oracle; Type changed from Creature - Beast to Creature - Human Shaman (13 years ago.)
Prescience Wand SOK Cost changed from 2 to 1 (13 years ago.)
Prudent Adaptation SOK Yes I think it has to be like Miracle, otherwise you can't cast anything off temporary reveal cards. If you have a permanent reveal card like Seerlord then I guess the Portent triggers in your draw step once you draw your card for the turn and flip over the new top card of your library. Potentially we could word Portent so it works in both ways? Triggered and Aperture style. (13 years ago.)
Prudent Adaptation TB Portent timing works like Miracle and not like Temporal Aperture, then? What if I have a Seerlord of the Blue Tower in play? The top card of my library has Flash? It probably is better that way if we are going to have these Bear/Centaur reveal-on-attack cards unless all the G ones are going to be Instants. (13 years ago.)
Seerlord of the Blue Tower TB He loves Corrupt Seer, though. But who doesn't? :) (13 years ago.)
Seerlord of the Blue Tower PH yeah forgot about lands, makes this less bonkers as you could stall out (13 years ago.)
Centaur Preceptor SOK Centaurs! (13 years ago.)
Centaur Conscriptor SOK Name changed from Ursir Conscriptor to Centaur Conscriptor; Type changed from Creature - Bear Soldier to Creature - Centaur Warrior (13 years ago.)
Forkcaster Mage SOK Rarity changed from M to R; Text changed from Flash When Forkcaster Mage enters the battlefield you may copy target instant or sorcery spell. You may choose new targets for the copy. to Flash When ~ enters the battlefield you may copy target instant or sorcery spell. You may choose new targets for the copy. (13 years ago.)
Ghastlord of the Black Tower SOK Rarity changed from M to R; Text changed from Portent 2BB (If this is revealed and on top of your library, you may play it for its portent cost.) If Ghastlord of the Black Tower enters the battlefield from anywhere other than your hand, you may search your library for a card, then shuffle your library and put that card on top of it. to Portent 2BB (If this is revealed and on top of your library, you may play it for its portent cost.) If ~ enters the battlefield from anywhere other than your hand, you may search your library for a card, then shuffle your library and put that card on top of it. (13 years ago.)
Seerlord of the Blue Tower SOK Type changed from Creature - Human Wizard to Legendary Creature - Human Wizard; Rarity changed from M to R (13 years ago.)
Ancestral Odyssey SOK Rarity changed from M to R (13 years ago.)
Prudent Adaptation SOK Text changed from Enchant Creature Target creature gets +2/+2 and trample until end of turn. Portent 2G to Enchant Creature Target creature gets +2/+2 and has trample. Portent 2G (13 years ago.)
Seerlord of the Blue Tower SOK Not as good as Magus of the Future, as almost the best bit is the free land, which you cant get with this. I'd warrant that Oracle of Mul Daya is stronger than Magus of the Future (ignoring ease of casting) due to allowing you to make an extra land drop. (13 years ago.)
Prudent Adaptation SOK Considering I just mentioned that there are very few enchantments it is actually cooler to make this an Enchant Creature that you can some times cast at instant speed off a reveal (13 years ago.)
Prudent Adaptation SOK Cost changed from 1G to 2G; Type changed from Instant to Enchantment - Aura; Text changed from Target creature gets +2/+2 and trample until end of turn. Portent 2G to Enchant Creature Target creature gets +2/+2 and trample until end of turn. Portent 2G (13 years ago.)
Seerlord of the Blue Tower TB Giving him portent at his own cost is awesome. Legendary also makes sense. (13 years ago.)
Prudent Adaptation SOK Switching to Portent to work better with the green reveal on attack theme (13 years ago.)
Prudent Adaptation SOK Name changed from Combat Trick to Prudent Adaptation; Cost changed from G to 1G; Text changed from Target creature gets +2/+2 until end of turn. Flashback 1G to Target creature gets +2/+2 and trample until end of turn. Portent 2G (13 years ago.)
Seerlord of the Blue Tower PH It's basically the same as magus of the future, as the only zone that cares about portent is the top of your library. I'd prefer to have some way to differentiate this - maybe give it portent itself? Should also be legendary. (13 years ago.)
Seerlord of the Blue Tower TB Very cool. Very close to Magus of the Future but I don't mind that at all. Probably all kinds of broken in limited. (13 years ago.)
Seerlord of the Blue Tower TB Liked this. (13 years ago.)
Banish PH Liked this. (13 years ago.)
Goblin Archer SOK Text changed from T: Goblin Archer deals 1 damage to target creature an opponent controls and 1 damage to target creature you control. to T: ~ deals 1 damage to target creature an opponent controls and 1 damage to target creature you control. (13 years ago.)
Reverent Captain SOK Actually white has a pretty high proportion of high mana costs, but this guy is a pretty awesome anthem effect, so keep him. (13 years ago.)
Reverent Captain KS Trying to help make up for all the small white creatures! Costing or P/T may need a change... (13 years ago.)
Reverent Captain KS New card: 2WW Creature - Spirit Soldier U Vigilance Soulsong - When Reverent Captain enters the battlefield, if you gained life this turn put a +1/+1 counter on each creature you control. 2/2 (13 years ago.)
Flayed Sentry TB OMG amazing Portent cost. I'm withholding my Like because the guy is a bit lackluster, though. Can we make him better? Or keep him crappy and move the amazing Portent cost somewhere else? (13 years ago.)
Grave Geist SOK There is precedent: Graveborn Muse, currently the only Zombie Spirit in Magic! (13 years ago.)
Flayed Sentry SOK Kieran hits another home run! (13 years ago.)
Flayed Sentry SOK Liked this. (13 years ago.)
Soulstoke Engine AC This has to be white somehow. If its black, it would be a bleeder mechanic. (13 years ago.)
Soulstoke Engine KS I think it would be too good if you could put it straight into a base-white deck. Being Red makes it fairer since red has no actual lifegain itself. (13 years ago.)
Ancestral Odyssey SOK Name changed from Ancestral Punisher to Ancestral Odyssey (13 years ago.)
Engorged Kavu SOK Text changed from Trample Whenever an opponent gains life, put that many +1/+1 counters on Gigantic Kavu Predator. to Trample Whenever an opponent gains life, put that many +1/+1 counters on ~. (13 years ago.)
Soulstoke Engine SOK Could always make it an artifact? Soulstoke Engine - 5 Artifact Whenever you gain life, ~ deals 2 damage to target creature or player. (13 years ago.)
Flayed Sentry KS Took the advice here and removed the ability. Gave him a flavour-based Portent cost! Might be more reasonable with an actual cost, though! (13 years ago.)
Flayed Sentry KS Name changed from Skeletal Librarian to Flayed Sentry; Type changed from Creature - Skeleton Wizard to Creature - Skeleton; Text changed from You draw from the bottom of your library B : Regenerate Skeletal Librarian to B : Regenerate ~ Portent: Sacrifice a Creature (13 years ago.)
Grave Geist AC Zombie Spirit? (13 years ago.)
Grave Geist TB Text changed from Sacrifice Grave Ghoul: Put a -1/-1 counter on target creature. Unearth 3B to Sacrifice ~: Put a -1/-1 counter on target creature. Unearth 3B (13 years ago.)
Flayed Sentry SOK We probably do want to keep a common regenerating creature in black though. The draw from bottom of library does not feel common, so maybe just swicth that to some expensive Portent cost? (13 years ago.)
Rampart Ravens SOK Liked this. (13 years ago.)
Flayed Sentry KS This is a kind of leftover guy from when I was trying to make the black abilities deal with the bottom of the library. He probably doesn't fit at all any more. Although in your mill deck this guy + mental collapse + revealt the top card = win! (13 years ago.)
Flayed Sentry TB This is a nombo with a lot of what B is trying to do an doesn't have power to make up for that. Could we make it so that your opponents draw from the bottom of their library or beef it up? Currently making a defensive UB mill deck and this guy doesn't make the cut I don't think. (13 years ago.)
Ancestral Odyssey AC Maybe call it Ancestral Walk. (13 years ago.)
Soulstoke Engine KS I want black and green to have access to this without having to play both red and white. Tom does not agree. Join the debate! (13 years ago.)
Soulstoking KS New card: 2RR Enchantment U Whenever you gain life, Soulstoking deals 2 damage to target creature or player. (13 years ago.)
Life-Stealer KS Damn it, I'm making a mono-red version of Searing Meditation! (13 years ago.)
Determined Pilgrim AC Do white cards normally have 'death' abilities? (13 years ago.)
Gluttonous Lark TB Liked this. (13 years ago.)
Gluttonous Lark SOK Templating fixes (13 years ago.)
Gluttonous Lark SOK Name changed from Greedy Bird to Gluttonous Lark; Text changed from Flying Whenever you gain a life but a +1/+1 token on ~, when ~ has 3 or more counters on it, it loses Flying and gains vigilance to Flying Whenever you gain a life, put a +1/+1 counter on ~. If ~ has 3 or more +1/+1 counters on it, it loses Flying and gains Vigilance. (13 years ago.)
Rageslaver SOK The idea was that it was half a Mindslaver, working only during the combat phase. I think just switching it to a Master Warcraft will be much simpler. (13 years ago.)
Rageslaver SOK Text changed from 2, T, Sacrifice Rageslaver: Gain control of target players next combat phase. (You make all decisions for their creatures for the duration of the combat phase.) to 2, T, Sacrifice ~: You choose which creatures attack this turn. You choose which creatures block this turn and how those creatures block. (13 years ago.)
Gluttonous Lark GG Name needs changing, ideas welcome (13 years ago.)
Greedy Bird GG New card: 3WW Creature - Bird U Flying Whenever you gain a life but a +1/+1 token on Greedy Bird, when Greedy Bird has 3 or more counters on it, it loses Flying and gains vigilance 2/2 (13 years ago.)
Rise Up TB Name changed from Team Chant to Rise Up (13 years ago.)
Forkcaster Mage PH is this really mythic? seems fine at rare tbh (13 years ago.)
Life-Stealer TB This guy was far too good at 2B in YmtD4. Trying him at a more relaxed cost. (13 years ago.)
Life-Stealer TB New card: 4B Creature - Zombie C Flying, lifelink. When Life-Stealer enters the battlefield, target opponent loses 2 life and you gain 2 life. 2/1 (13 years ago.)
Rageslaver CG Ambigouos wording - is this meant to be Master Warcraft or only work on deciding their attacks? (13 years ago.)
Soul Guardian PH also - if we're pushing lifegain really *really* hard (as seems to be happening) it will make for a slow format. We'll need finishers in all colours and possibly some viable alt win condition. If we don't have an infect/mill equivalent then limited games will be unfun. (13 years ago.)
Soul Guardian PH made him 2/4 in order to justify the increased cost, and allow you to get blown out by combat tricks as you'll probably attack and block with him. the 1/1 guys generally have a non-relevant body. 2/2 probably fine, but would shave a mana off I think. (13 years ago.)
Soul Guardian PH do we want to make it too easy to trigger soulsong though? keeping it as an etb effect makes people work a little bit harder (13 years ago.)
Soul Guardian SOK Further thoughts - Soul Warden style creatures are pretty unfun to play against, that is why they are all 1 toughness, this guy being an amazing Soulsong enabler and 4 toughness at common would be way too good. If we do make him trigger off casts I'd move him to rare, else make him a 2/2? (13 years ago.)
Soul Guardian SOK Don't think it works with Soulsong, could retemplate it to trigger off casting (playing) creature spells, then it would work. (13 years ago.)
Soul Guardian SOK Templating fix (13 years ago.)
Soul Guardian SOK Text changed from Whenever a creature etb gain 1 life to Whenever another creature enters the battlefield, you gain 1 life. (13 years ago.)
Prescience Wand SOK Name already exists (13 years ago.)
Prescience Wand SOK Name changed from Scying Glass to Prescience Wand (13 years ago.)
Scying Glass SOK New card: 2 Artifact - Equipment C Equip 2 Whenever Scying Glass becomes equipped, scry 1 (13 years ago.)
Sunsoul Lark SOK Liked this. (13 years ago.)
Astral Magus SOK I agree with Paul (13 years ago.)
Astral Magus SOK Rarity changed from U to R (13 years ago.)
Lostsight Counsel SOK I don't think cards can specifically mention the sideboard, but you could reword it to be similar to the Wishes. "You may cast ~ from outside the game" For our purposes though I think you can leave it as is, it is really cool! (13 years ago.)
Lostsight Counsel SOK Liked this. (13 years ago.)
Lostsight Counsel KS I just have to know if this will work! This maybe shouldn't be rare, though it is definitely weird enough. (13 years ago.)
Lostsight Counsel KS New card: 4UU Sorcery R Draw a card You may cast Lostsight Counsel from your sideboard (13 years ago.)
Protective Elder TB I prefer the simplicity of the current wording although he is pretty bomby. (13 years ago.)
Dreamriver Boa KS New card: 1G Creature - Snake U Dreamriver Boa is unblockable as long as the top card of defending player's library is face up. G: Regenerate Dreamriver Boa 2/1 (13 years ago.)
Soul Guardian KS I like it but maybe it should be an uncommon. Also I have no idea how this works with Soulsong! (13 years ago.)
Soul Guardian KS Liked this. (13 years ago.)
Soul Guardian PH bigger soul warden (13 years ago.)
Soul Guardian PH New card: 3W Creature - Human Cleric C Whenever a creature etb gain 1 life 2/4 (13 years ago.)
Protective Elder PH if we're pushing colour matters shouldn't this either be a unite ability or just affect your W creatures? (13 years ago.)
Exaltation of Larks PH Liked this. (13 years ago.)
Astral Magus PH this is too powerful at uncommon, especially with etb soulsong creatures (13 years ago.)
Sunsoul Lark KS Name changed from Sonsoul Lark to Sunsoul Lark (13 years ago.)
Sunsoul Lark KS Completely changed this card. (13 years ago.)
Sonsoul Lark KS Name changed from Anara Charger to Sonsoul Lark; Type changed from Creature - Human Knight to Creature - Bird; Text changed from Flying When Anara Charger is put into a graveyard from anywhere, gain 1 life to Flying Lifelink; Power changed from 2 to 1 (13 years ago.)
Impossible Horror KS Going to try this as a flyer because there don't seem to be that many around! (13 years ago.)
Impossible Horror KS Text changed from When Impossible Horror enters the battlefield, sacrifice it unless you put a card from your hand face up on top of your library to Flying When Impossible Horror enters the battlefield, sacrifice it unless you put a card from your hand face up on top of your library (13 years ago.)
Seerlord of the Blue Tower SOK Trying this version for now (13 years ago.)
Seerlord of the Blue Tower SOK Text changed from Each player plays with the top card of their library revealed Your opponents can't cast spells except from their hands. You can cast spells from the top of your opponents' libraries as though they were on top of your library. You can cast spells from your opponents' graveyards as though they were in your graveyard. to Play with the top card of your library revealed. Nonland cards you own that aren't on the battlefield have Portent. The Portent cost is equal to its mana cost. (13 years ago.)
Seerlord of the Blue Tower KS That seems far more awesome. Feel free to completely overwrite this guy! (13 years ago.)
Bloodvine's Thorns KS I suppose since there are no massive flyers this can get a cost reduction. The lower cost also helps with Soulsong etc. (13 years ago.)
Bloodvine's Claws KS Cost changed from 3GG to 2G (13 years ago.)
Portentious Shrike SOK all the blue six drops seem to be double blue, shifting this to 5U (13 years ago.)
Portentious Shrike SOK Cost changed from 4UU to 5U (13 years ago.)
Seerlord of the Blue Tower SOK The thought I had for this was to have all cards in your deck have Portent with cost equal to cards mana cost (13 years ago.)
Scrypulse SOK Liked this. (13 years ago.)
Freya's Blessing SOK Liked this. (13 years ago.)
Bloodvine's Thorns PH need to have this effect at common, just not sure I like the cost. Unless the set has a lot of big flyers (like AVR) then it's just too expensive. Most non-rare flyers are small, and cost 3-5, so in general you're losing mana to play this, and you don't get much upside as they're going to have 3 toughness or so. tl/dr - this will never get played as it's too expensive I think this can live at 2G (13 years ago.)
Undervault Horde PH nice - good with a devour/sac guy subtheme in B oooh, zombies with devour & unearth? (13 years ago.)
Sue For Peace PH Liked this. (13 years ago.)
Sue For Peace PH Yeah really like this new version (13 years ago.)
Undervault Horde SOK Like it! Almost as uncomfortable as Tension Turtle (13 years ago.)
Sue For Peace SOK I like Ross' suggestion to keep the flavour, although it is a little cumbersome in the wording. (13 years ago.)
Sue For Peace SOK Text changed from Destroy all creatures. Gain 1 life for each creature destroyed this way. to Destroy all creatures. The player who had the most creatures destroyed this way, gains 1 life for each creature destroyed this way. (13 years ago.)
Bloodvine's Thorns SOK Liked this. (13 years ago.)
Bloodvine's Thorns SOK Yeah I think common is right for this. Plenty of these affects have been common before: Crushing Vines, Elvish Skysweeper, Gloomwidow's Feast, Pistus Strike (13 years ago.)
Bloodvine's Claws SOK Rarity changed from U to C (13 years ago.)
Exaltation of Larks RM Liked this. (13 years ago.)
Sue For Peace RM i like the flavour of this card what about destroy all creatures each player gains 1 life for each creature destroyed this way that they owned/controlled or the player with the most creatures gains 1 life for each creature destroyed (13 years ago.)
Sue For Peace PH Thinking about it a bit more, this is now a lot more B in flavour. Maybe have "for each creature destroyed this way, it's controller gains 1 life" to make it more W? (13 years ago.)
Overpowering Light RM Liked this. (13 years ago.)
Bloodvine's Thorns KS Maybe this should be a common? (13 years ago.)
Bloodvine's Claws KS New card: 3GG Instant U Destroy target creature with flying. You gain life equal to that creature's power. (13 years ago.)
Ruminate KS Liked this. (13 years ago.)
Undervault Horde KS Check out the super-cheap unearth cost! (13 years ago.)
Undervault Horde KS New card: 3BB Creature - Zombie C Undervault Horde enters the battlefield tapped Unearth B 5/3 (13 years ago.)
Ruminate SOK Liked this. (13 years ago.)
Think Fast TB New card: 2U Instant C Portent U Draw two cards then discard a card. If Think Fast was cast for its Portent cost, instead draw a card. (13 years ago.)
Bearback Raider TB Text changed from Flash When Bearback Raider enters the battlefield, put a 2/2 green bear creature token onto the battlefield to Flash When Bearback Raider enters the battlefield, put a 2/2 green Bear creature token onto the battlefield (13 years ago.)
Slave Hellion TB Text changed from When Slave Hellion is put into a graveyard from anywhere, put a 1/1 Red Human Wizard creature token onto the battlefield to When Slave Hellion is put into a graveyard from anywhere, put a 1/1 red Human Wizard creature token onto the battlefield (13 years ago.)
Sue For Peace TB This is now better than Day of Judgment! (13 years ago.)
Thought Shards TB Liked this. (13 years ago.)
Freya's Blessing DB Liked this. (13 years ago.)
Portentious Shrike SOK Fair points. I still think it is super unlikely you'll ever Portent him on turn 2, but i can understand that might be a pain to play against. Upped both costs (13 years ago.)
Portentious Shrike SOK Cost changed from 3UU to 4UU; Text changed from Portent 1U (If this is revealed and on top of your library, you may play it for its portent cost.) Flying to Portent 2U (If this is revealed and on top of your library, you may play it for its portent cost.) Flying (13 years ago.)
Anara Falconer TB Liked this. (13 years ago.)
Portentious Shrike KS Perhaps his actual casting cost should be increased to a ludicrously high amount (like 6UU) while his Portent cost stays the same so he's great to portent but not so great when he's in your hand. As a comparison, Errant Ephemeron's cost is 6U. (13 years ago.)
Portentious Shrike TB You don't get Errant Ephemeron on Turn 2, though! (13 years ago.)
Sue For Peace SOK Bugger it, lets go with Paul's version for now. Might need a new name though. (13 years ago.)
Sue For Peace SOK Text changed from If another player controls more creatures than you, destroy all creatures and that player gains 1 life for each creature destroyed this way. to Destroy all creatures. Gain 1 life for each creature destroyed this way. (13 years ago.)
Sue For Peace SOK All good points. I started designing this card from just the name so that is why it ended up the way it did. I'll have a think about tweaking it as nothing is coming to mind right now (13 years ago.)
Seerlord of the Blue Tower KS A stab at making a mythic tower leader. Probably not powerful enough. (13 years ago.)
Seerlord of the Blue Tower KS New card: 3UU Creature - Human Wizard M Each player plays with the top card of their library revealed Your opponents can't cast spells except from their hands. You can cast spells from the top of your opponents' libraries as though they were on top of your library. You can cast spells from your opponents' graveyards as though they were in your graveyard. 2/4 (13 years ago.)
Natural Instinct KS Changed from dislike to like (13 years ago.)
Natural Instinct SOK Colourshifting from U to G (13 years ago.)
Natural Instinct SOK Name changed from Predict to Natural Instinct; Cost changed from U to G (13 years ago.)
Natural Instinct TB Could force them to predict a Creature card and make it G? (13 years ago.)
Tower Relic KS Liked this. (13 years ago.)
Centaur Preceptor KS Liked this. (13 years ago.)
Natural Instinct SOK Well we kind of mentioned green or red, but I'm having a hard time seeing it there now I reread it. I guess green does do some minor library manipulation. (13 years ago.)
Impossible Horror SOK turn 3 drop even! (13 years ago.)
Impossible Horror SOK I'm kind of comparing it to Stitched Drake, a 3/4 flyer for 1UU with on on theme drawback. I think putting a card in you hand on your library is worse than exiling from your graveyard. I guess this is way more consistent as a turn 2 drop though. (13 years ago.)
Bound to Serve SOK Liked this. (13 years ago.)

Sue For Peace PH Typically you're not going to wrath a board where you have more creatures than an opponent, so not sure the conditional clause is worth the extra complexity. For the WWW cost I'd probably have the caster gain all the life as well, although that may actually be more a B effect than W (13 years ago.)
Bound to Serve PH White removal, wonder if you should also lose access to activated abilities as well but not sure. (13 years ago.)

Flashback—1W, Pay 3 life (You may cast this card from your graveyard for its flashback cost. Then exile it.) (13 years ago.)
Anara Falconer SOK Maybe adding a new token type is a bad idea. Could be Anara Falconer and make a 1/1 Bird? (13 years ago.)

Deranged Librarian SOK Name changed from Red Confidant to Deranged Librarian; Type changed from Creature to Creature - Human Wizard (13 years ago.)
Tower Warden SOK Yes I think the whole issue of bears being prevalent in every colour probably needs to be addressed. I'd almost say get rid of bear creature type altogether (save it for the all bear set). I imagine Ross just made them all bears to tie them together rather than as a creative decision. (13 years ago.)
Tower Warden KS I now really like this guy as a pseudo-tapper who can save your own guys from combat tricks. Still not sure about things like this being Bears, though! (13 years ago.)

At the beginning of your upkeep, put a -1/-1 counter on the copied creature. If the copied creature leaves play sacrifice ~. (13 years ago.)
Tower Warden PH Maybe make it a 1/4, 3W cost? Seems really expensive for a 2/2 tapper equivalent, and a pacifist doesn't want to be attacking - could add defender? (13 years ago.)
Vile Mimic SOK I think the new wording is better, not sure if the rules support "copied creature" but we will all grok it. Also made it a shapeshifter as almost all these kinds of cards are (13 years ago.)
Vile Mimic SOK Name changed from Very Evil Twin to Vile Mimic; Type changed from Creature - Human Wizard to Creature - Shapeshifter; Text changed from When Very Evil Twin enters the battlefield he becomes a copy of target creature. At the beginning of your upkeep put a -1/-1 counter on the original creature, when the original creature leaves play destry Very Evil Twin. to You may have ~ enter the battlefield as a copy of any creature on the battlefield.

Zombear TB Text changed from Whenever a creature blocks Zombie that creature becomes a 2/2 Bear to Whenever a creature blocks ~ that creature becomes a 2/2 Bear (13 years ago.)
Prophet of Doom TB Reworded and upped the cost. He's a kind of unreliable wrath rather than anything abusable, I think, but it is a powerful effect - he may yet prove to be broken! (13 years ago.)
Prophet of Doom TB Cost changed from 2B to 2BB; Text changed from Play with the top card of your library revealed.

Amorphous Mass SOK Is the intent to become a permanent copy, or until eot? (13 years ago.)
Spellslinging Augur SOK Half a future sight on a man for only 2U. I think we could up the casting cost of this guy. Also feels a bit like a rare. Maybe just do that and make it a 3/3 flyer for 3UU or something? (13 years ago.)

Bear Pacifist SOK Name changed from Bear Pacifist to Bear Pacifist; Text changed from tap remove target attacking creature from combat to T: Remove target attacking creature from combat (13 years ago.)

Abortionist KS Text changed from Play with the top card of your library revealed. Put target creature card from the top of your library into your graveyard: target opponent loses 1 life and you gain 1 life. to Play with the top card of your library revealed.

Bearback Rider KS Instant Unite enabler or just a surprise blocker (13 years ago.)

Forkcaster Mage TB Loonies (13 years ago.)
Forkcaster Mage SOK Done (13 years ago.)

Embryo Thief RM love it - who wants to do the art? (13 years ago.)
Embryo Thief KS A card designed by the man who finds Triumph of Ferocity too offensive! (13 years ago.)
Embryo Thief TB Flavor of the name is great but it's probably too icky. (13 years ago.)
Deferred Pleasure KS This is amazing. By itself it shuts down your draw step but with Portent and revealing your top card it suddenly becomes a free tutor every turn for only 2 mana. This may well be my favourite card so far. (13 years ago.)
Prophet of Doom SOK also 2B seems pretty cheap for a Mutilate effect, maybe 2BB? (13 years ago.)
Prophet of Doom SOK Additionally could change it to be a enters the battlefield trigger? (13 years ago.)
Prophet of Doom SOK You'll need to tidy up the wording a little to get it to work. I'm assuming the intent is a ongoing effect? If so (13 years ago.)

Ghastlord of the Black Tower PH Is this intended to be part of a cycle, as seems like it should be. (13 years ago.)
Ghastlord of the Black Tower KS Tutor to the top of your library? Kill stuff? Draw and lose life? (13 years ago.)
Ghastlord of the Black Tower SOK Flavour needs some work, and the ability needs deciding on too (13 years ago.)
Withering Decay KS I love the restrictions on what this can kill. (13 years ago.)
Great Tower Bat KS Perhaps put the card on top of your library? Then it works as a free Portent enabler of sorts (13 years ago.)
Grave Geist SOK Powered up fume spitter, probably too good (13 years ago.)
Deepwater Grasper SOK More thematic than Aether Adept version (13 years ago.)
Inspirationist KS This seems pretty decent (13 years ago.)

Impossible Horror RM clever cards from kieran again (13 years ago.)
Shimmersprite RM like it (13 years ago.)
Tower Sentinels RM massive difference between toughness 3 and 4 - we will have to balance carefully how many 3/4 toughness guys we make who are essentially walls (13 years ago.)
Tower Sentinels SOK Megaturtle disagrees (13 years ago.)
Tower Sentinels KS Best River Kaijin Ever! (13 years ago.)
Natural Instinct SOK Interesting, I guess Green makes more sense than Red (13 years ago.)
Natural Instinct KS I think this should be colour-shifted to Red or Green as a hate card against the blue abilities (13 years ago.)
Portentious Shrike RM imagine revealing this with a green bear in play - 4/4 flyer and power boost my team - i like it (13 years ago.)
Ancestral Odyssey KS I love punisher cards since you always get the worst option even though they always look totally busted. (13 years ago.)
Scrypulse RM all these go really well with the green cards that care about what is on your library (13 years ago.)
Dissonance KS This seems perfectly balanced (13 years ago.)
Protective Elder RM we need to have some agro stuff in other colours that can sometimes win before these come out otherwise its board stall city - which is ok sometimes but agro needs to be viable (13 years ago.)
Freya's Blessing RM could be gain 1 life and tap a creature (13 years ago.)
Freya's Blessing GG Think this needs to be more expensive (13 years ago.)
Exaltation of Larks RM almost as good as talon trooper - i like it (13 years ago.)
Rampart Ravens SOK Lingering Souls at a more sensible cost. (13 years ago.)
