"researches" -> "researched"

on 09 Feb 2016 by CasualR:

So, when Launch Thopter was on file, the default cast of {u} was mostly a concession to needing to be deciphered. I think it's real bad at the base cost. Though I don't know how well this effect would go over to be honest.

on 09 Feb 2016 by Doombringer:

Think of an instant speed Triplicate Spirit that can also be a flash 1/1 flier.

on 09 Feb 2016 by Inanimate:

Do note we already have Aerial Surveillance which has gone over very well.

on 09 Feb 2016 by CasualR:

Ah, it's an instant. Not a sorcery. K

added to skeleton

on 12 Feb 2016 by CasualR:

Would this not be considered a creature for skeleton purposes? We need to make room for a common level Counterspell of some kind.

on 12 Feb 2016 by Doombringer:

Yes it counts as a creature. Put in your counterspell somewhere as I'll do detailed passovers of the common skeletons at a later date.

Shifting skeleton position

on 27 Feb 2016 by Inanimate:

I don't think we want this in blue at common. White needs Thopter Army more, I feel.

on 29 Feb 2016 by Doombringer:

But we can only have a single white token maker at common and (((House Arrest))) is a far better design.

on 29 Feb 2016 by Doombringer:

We could move this to uncommon and increase the power level. Then move to white or blue as needed.

on 29 Feb 2016 by Inanimate:

This is a good point, Doombringer. And my point is moot - I just realized the effect I thought we had, we don't. See Rallying Propaganda

on 27 Mar 2016 by Inanimate:

Our goal is for our Thopter cards at common to be strong - so they show up more often, and make Thopters feel like more of a presence despite their lack of numbers in the set - but I don't think this card is meeting that goal.

Additionally, it is EXTREMELY texty, far too much so for common, in my opinion. This is a problem for all of blue's current Research effects, so I'm looking into simpler ones.

Possibility for CU05.
