• 2012-12-20 16:58:18: Link commented on Accelerator

  This card by itself makes things like Ichor Wellspring and even Bone Saw quite useful.

• 2012-12-20 11:25:05: Alex commented on Accelerator

  Heh. Indeed, but probably not broken given Unbender Tine and Fatestitcher exist.

• 2012-12-20 03:02:09: Link commented on Accelerator

  Oops, made it in the wrong set.
  I'm sure there's a fun combo with this and Waking Weald.

• 2012-12-20 03:01:43: Link moved the card Accelerator from Anydria into Link's Unplaced Cards

  Bottom of library would probably work just as well. I don't think it opens up any combos that shuffling doesn't.

  What Wizards really doesn't like is making your opponent shuffle, which is why Myr Mindservant only effects you. If you want to keep shuffling your library, Wizards tolerates that.

• 2012-12-19 22:14:40: Jack V commented on Memory Shifter

  Maybe "on the bottom of your library" would work equally well?

• 2012-12-19 20:30:09: Chris commented on Memory Shifter

  Wizards wouldn't print it, because they're trying to cut down on shuffling (because it's time-consuming busywork), but from a theoretical or MTGO point of view, I can't see any problems.

• 2012-12-19 18:14:05: Link commented on Memory Shifter

  I don't think so, but I'm often pretty bad at spotting that.

• 2012-12-19 17:26:50: Jack V commented on Memory Shifter

  Oh, that's cool. It's an effect you want sometimes. eg. if you have a combo deck that relies on searching out a key piece, if you have excess land and want to shuffle your library, if you want to keep a card in library and not graveyard if opponent has a discard spell. And is a defence against decking yourself.

  And yet, most of the time, there's no particular reason for it so there's no danger in letting you do it multiple times. (Or is it broken in some way I haven't spotted?)

  Or just symmetrical effects like Exhume. It's narrow, but powerful within its niche.

• 2012-12-19 07:54:34: Link commented on Warding Druid

  I would have lots of fun running this with Meddling Mage, Surgical Extraction, and Nevermore. Toss in something to look at my opponent's library and maybe mill some cards and we're set.

• 2012-12-19 07:44:52: Link commented on Mist Mimic

  I couldn't decide whether this should be , , or . I also can't decide whether the ability is really strong or really crappy. It looks like it depends entirely on your opponent's deck, but not if you're playing Sphinx Ambassador, Eternal Dominion, or any of the various cards that can resurrect your opponent's creatures.

  I wonder how viable this is in Legacy/Vintage. I know it can really screw up one land belcher. Call Taiga and watch your opponent slump, sliding his two Land Grants back and forth in his hand. For being a card that hoses Cranial Extraction, it can kind of fill the same roll sometimes. ;)

  This is meant to protect against Cranial Extraction-type cards, but it also hoses land-searching, now that I think about it.

  I gave Jon a bunch of my custom cards and asked him to make a deck out of them. He made a self-mill deck with this and Kiora Atua. Immé was quite effective.

  Yeah, I'm going to up her cost to .

• 2012-12-18 11:46:55: Alex commented on Spell Extortion

  Hmm...

  • When the opponent has 3+ mana spare: neither achieves anything.
  • When the opponent has 2 mana spare: Mana Leak counters the spell, this does nothing.
  • When the opponent has 1 mana spare: Mana Leak counters the spell. This either counters the spell or goes back to your hand, but the opponent chooses which.
  • When the opponent has no mana spare: Mana Leak counters the spell. This counters the spell and goes back to hand for free.

  So Mana Leak is significantly better when they have or available, but this is much, much better when they're completely tapped out. Interesting.

  In a weird way I think this would actually play like Disruptive Pitmage. It'll counter one spell out of nowhere by surprise, and from then on it'll force the opponent to have 1 extra mana available before they even try to cast something.

  I can see an argument that overall it's better than Mana Leak, but it's far from clear-cut, and overall I think it's printable at the same cost.
