Agh, how do you make Copy Artifact anything other than what it already is...? I guess, an artifact that copies, not something that copies artifacts...

I know it would be funny, but gaining double strike twice doesn't make triple or quadruple strike, there's only one extra combat damage step, and each creature either has it or doesn't :)

seems like numbers make more sense for "do the Xth"?

LOL. I would maybe just say "non-basic" if you allow "two or more", I think people would still get what it meant :)

What I thought Glare of Subdual_ was going to be :)

Huh. I knew "subdual" from DnD, but I'd thought it was something like "subdural" not "subdue". Oops. Oh, well.

2015-11-29 11:40:15: Jack V created and commented on the card Flowstone Hellion

Why did "Flowstone" come to mean "+1/-1"? AFAIK Flowstone is a sort of rock that's fast by rock standards, by which I mean after thousands of years there's visible movement. OK, well, I guess I'll stick with that.

And in magic, hellions are some sort of lava-wurms.

I did genuinely consider that, but I decided to be merciful to people's understanding :)

Dance of the Dead

Alternatively, it could just be a confusing pile of math. "~ gains -0/-2 for each +1/+1 counter on it." Admittedly, that reads kind of wrong...

2015-11-27 16:08:42: Jack V commented on Inner-Flame Acolyte

Oh, good point. Originally it was "return it to the battlefield", but that annoyingly needed to respecify the number of counters. Yeah, maybe "if this would be destroyed" is better.

2015-11-27 15:58:29: dude1818 commented on Inner-Flame Acolyte

That also interacts with sacrifice oddly. What if instead it was "If ~ would be destroyed, instead remove all damage and put a +1/+1 counter on it"?

2015-11-27 14:13:41: Jack V commented on Inner-Flame Acolyte

Yeah, I decided it's hopefully a plus if there's some unusual interactions, even though "extra vulnarabilities" are not usually interesting drawbacks. I did consider making it only these counters which acted differently, but obv that would be confusing.

And it's obviously nice if you have a way of moving the counters off this.

2015-11-27 13:58:14: jmgariepy commented on Inner-Flame Acolyte

So if I Reinforce your Acolyte with Hunting Triad, I kill it? Odd interaction. Not a dealbreaker, though.

2015-11-27 11:45:41: Jack V created and commented on the card Inner-Flame Acolyte

A more modern way of doing +1/-1 counters.

It does have precedence in Uktabi Kong.

2015-11-26 10:02:28: Jack V commented on Rukh Egg_

Oops, yes, egg should be sacrificed. Oh, good idea. I like the flavour of tapping two birds, but I'm not sure.

2015-11-26 10:01:39: Jack V edited Rukh Egg_:

Add "sacrifice ~"

2015-11-26 00:20:32: dude1818 commented on Rukh Egg_

I assume you meant this to be sacrificed? And should this require tapping a second bird as well?

2015-11-25 23:05:07: Jack V created and commented on the card Rukh Egg_

Based on Rukh Egg

Another variant on the same concept. The second "roc" card with Skymark Roc_ and the first card to use "card named ~". I'm going to assume the original card doesn't exist for this purpose, although it's not really a problem if the ability worked of that too :)

I wasn't sure how to get the concept of a trail, I decided to try something like this...
