continuumg has a good point. Why not just use mugging? (Remove "or player" and add "or attack", and Flashbang warrants itself.)

+1 power for splashyness and added flavor text

color shifted Willbreaker, also amazing with canisters.

This could be a fun rare.

uncommon anti-flier spider

nonland permanent seems a decent change. Maybe also just making it a mono blue card.

2016-09-04 02:46:40: Jackal created and commented on the card Capture and Coerce

Glimmerdust Nap + Fractured Loyalty for the canister deck. I wanted to make the cost splashable in case some Sac deck wants it, but that isn't important. This idea started closer to Control Magic + Claustrophobia but I was afraid it would be too good on passive abilities without needing support.

2016-09-04 02:19:27: Jackal commented on Aethermaw Prowler

If I do manage to play a Pioneer Researcher or Delivery Automaton on turn 2, that is what I want to return to my hand, not the canister it made. (Unless one of the decks is very aggressive) It just seems so tempting to return a land, which isn't what this set is about.

2016-09-04 02:10:28: Jackal commented on Flashbang

I think that not being able to hit the player (like mugging) will make the "can't block" feel more relevant because you will use it even if it is just getting your one more little guy through for the kill. I'm not sure how I feel about "can't block" in the set when BR is trying to do an "Act of Treason" thing. On the one hand it is a cheap spell that you can play in the same turn as an Act to have a fun explosive turn, but on the other hand, it fills a similar role in a deck without going in the combo we are trying to do.

2016-09-04 01:29:43: continuumg commented on Flashbang

This isn't really comparable to the BW example you give. If preventing a creature form blocking will get you the kill this turn, then it's basically the same as killing that creature regardless of its size. And that doesn't really feel bad.

My first impression is positive.

2016-09-04 01:23:38: continuumg commented on Flashbang

Mugging?

2016-09-03 23:59:07: Jay Treat commented on Flashbang

Hemorrhage was colorless, which mattered to the format.

Panic Attack prevents 3 blockers and was too weak to play.

Consider this card: 2BW/sorcery/Destroy target creature or gain 8 life. Sometimes it'll be correct to gain 8 life, but you'll usually feel bad doing it, and first impressions will always be bad.

2016-09-03 23:55:00: Jay Treat commented on Personal Revolution

Fair.

2016-09-03 22:56:24: Doombringer commented on Flashbang

Think of the "can't block" clause as lategame "I win" while the damage is for early game.

Also Reality Hemorrhage was a premium red common and this is nearly strictly better.

2016-09-03 22:51:57: Doombringer commented on Personal Revolution

Because of the way revolt flips everything I don't think this effect is wanted in the set. Currently there is no way to get both revolted and unrevolted permanents at the same time outside of niche cases like Mind Control.

2016-09-03 18:06:27: Inanimate commented on Ore Hauler

Fair enough. I figured it was like a transformer.

2016-09-03 18:05:59: Inanimate commented on Aethermaw Prowler

Canisters. You bounce the inconsequential token

2016-09-03 15:36:04: Jay Treat created and commented on the card Personal Revolution

See Vital Moment. Possibly terrible for the format. Possibly great. Could even remove "If it has revolt," to make it work with DFCs everywhere.

2016-09-03 15:11:54: Jay Treat commented on Moment of Glory

I dig this, but it feels more GW.

2016-09-03 15:11:24: Jay Treat commented on Covetous Dragon

This pair of sides don't want revolution, they want to be tied to someone not being able to sack an artifact. Imagine drawing this the turn after you revolt and your opponent has one artifact; You feel so cheated.

2016-09-03 15:10:17: Jay Treat commented on Heroic Valor

Cool.

2016-09-03 15:09:52: Jay Treat commented on Flashbang

Feels terrible to use removal as "one creature can't block this turn." How about "~ deals 2 divided between one or two target creatures. Those creatures can't block this turn?" Or "~ deals 2 damage to target player. [Up to two target] creatures that player controls can't block this turn."

2016-09-03 15:08:20: Jay Treat commented on Aethermaw Prowler

What archetype does this support?

2016-09-03 15:08:07: Jay Treat commented on Aethermaw Prowler

This seems really dangerous. More comfortable at 2GU, or at 4/4, or 5/3.

2016-09-03 15:05:01: Jay Treat commented on Consulate Spy

Because of the activation cost?

2016-09-03 15:04:05: Jay Treat commented on Ore Hauler

I hate that this can transform itself back to original state. Hurts identity of back-face, and makes the revert mechanic look bad.

2016-09-03 14:16:30: Jackal commented on Disarming Rogue

We made Honor of the Vanara and Channeler of the Untamed being repeatable. I think the problem is that the GW archetype relies on +1/+1 counters. I am afraid of making this card too good in that one matchup. I would rather have a strong body and a weak ability that is extra good against a specific archetype, than a weak body and a strong ability that is extra good against a specific archetype.

Alternative text: Up to two target creatures each get +1/+1 and gain first strike until end of turn. Untap them
