­Fleetfoot Panther + Future Diary

Upgrade a creature into a cheap cat, at instant speed, meet... Mad casting spree, of zero-cost stuff but lose if it gets countered.

So very very tempted to say "The correct thing to do in this mash is take all of the panther and ignore all of the very silly diary"

Ok, ok. Casting cost zero is certainly involved here. Some element of risk is involved here.

Ugh; my first attempt was: "As an additional cost to cast a cat creature, you may sacrifice any number of other creatures you control. If you do, that spell has flash, and its casting cost is reduced by 1 for each creature sacrificed in this way."

... words words words words words. Blarg.

Ok, how about future-sight for cats? That's kinda quirky. Something like? "0: Reveal the top card of your library. If it's a cat, you may cast it."

Ah, got it. Still too many words, though. Blue for the future and the pretty background; probably should have stayed pure green, green does get critter accel of this sort.

Hmm. Perhaps you should always keep the top card of library revealed? Then you can pay for the cat by returning Future Cat to your hand? This way seems good, too, though. It's just... well, it will be used more as a way to return etb creatures to your hand than to get free cats off the library. After all, even in a cat tribal deck, revealing a cat will be hard. Have a deck that has only 8 cats in it, and you'll be whiffing all day.

Umph. True. Probably needs at least a tap cost in there to stop it just sweeping your side of the table before you throw a wrath, too. Though that does lose the whole "Hey, I set up a combo, arranged my deck, and now; Cat, cat to hand, cat, cat to hand, cat, cat to hand, cat ...., cat, swing, win" silliness.

Hee, yes, this would be fun with Conspiracy or Artificial Evolution.

remove the entire trigger - now you have to find some other way to reveal cats. But hey, when you do, awesome!

Ok, has lost the "return a creature" part now. More interesting? Certainly harder to get going. Fun for punishing "Reveal target player's hand, do something evil to a card in it" too.

­Guided Passage, consider yourself useful for once.

And then your opponent has to pick from the non-Cat cards to give you.

Heh; comments on that card include "It's a win condition. Play it, opponent looks at our deck and concedes"

But yeah; I suspected there'd be a way to reveal a lot of cards, didn't think it's be quite THAT many though.

Anyone for a 100-card Elder-cat-highlander deck?
