Upping unearth cost to power it down a bit
Simon O'Keeffe · 2012-05-27 14:57:10
I like it mimicking Geistflame
Simon O'Keeffe · 2012-05-28 11:55:14
Zombie Spirit?

There is precedent: Graveborn Muse, currently the only Zombie Spirit in Magic!

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.

I added the note "V. Good. Too good at B?" Someone added during the draft, "Yes!"

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.

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!

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?

Trying it at six might be good.
Kieran Symington · 2012-06-04 12:38:41
Liked him, think we could shave a mana from the unearth cost and it would be better
