  V, I think you've missed the "from a library" words on here. Which to be fair so did I on first reading.

  Goes instantly infinite with any of the rituals. Probably wants an "If you do, exile it" clause or something to prevent that.

  Otherwise a very interesting idea; though clearly very powerful.

  ..assuming you can only cast it at the speed that card could normally be cast. If it lets you cast your opponents sorceries during their turn could be even nastier.

• 2012-06-01 07:56:02: Alex commented on Brainsift

  Hee. Turns Glimpse the Unthinkable into "draw 10 cards"... sortof. Clearly very powerful, and yet maybe not broken. Might be a bit good in Dredge, I don't know.

  Removed "nonland." Let's go big, huh?

  Also... is this Spikey at all?

• 2012-06-01 01:21:23: Link commented on Flowers After Rain

  It also triggers off of your own spells. Does that make it too strong?

• 2012-06-01 00:33:17: Alex commented on Flowers After Rain

  Reminds me of Eyes of the Wisent. Of course, this works against any blue mage, not just those playing stuff on your turn...

  I was posting the link to The Law more in response to Jack's proposal of "may is must". Abolish works fine under The Law... it has a mana cost, you just don't have the option of paying it.

  Oh no! I'm unoriginal! :(

• 2012-05-31 22:55:42: Link commented on Choices, Choices

  Ha. The first page already presents a small problem in Abolish, which, if it said "must" instead of "may," would just be weird.

• 2012-05-31 22:54:54: Alex commented on Choices, Choices

  ­The Law :)

• 2012-05-31 22:54:44: Link commented on Choices, Choices

  I feel like I would have to meticulously comb the Gatherer to make sure that didn't really break something.

• 2012-05-31 22:46:42: Jack V commented on Choices, Choices

  Hm. The problem seems to be that must isn't usually used with mandatory effects (they just say "do this") and also, "may" generally justn turns them off, it's only ones that you want on for you and off for the opponent or similar.

  But how about the reverse, a card that says "when you may do something, you must if able"? You'd have to be careful to avoid infinite loops, but I hope it would make at least some cards interesting...

• 2012-05-31 21:10:42: Link commented on Choices, Choices

  Is this too "un-set" feeling? It makes a lot of text boxes silly or pointless, like Goblin Fire Fiend, but they still make sense.

  Well, on reviewing the Gatherer further for cards containing "must," this doesn't actually do that much except hose Deadly Allure and flagbearers. I wish Gideon Jura and Alluring Siren used "must," suddenly.

• 2012-05-31 17:00:56: Alex commented on Mage Tutelage

  Yep, this is certainly going to be weaker than Snapcaster Mage. The loss of the 2/1 body is huge. I imagine this would turn up rather occasionally in the unusual tournament decks.

• 2012-05-31 16:44:20: Link commented on Information Trade

  Oh. So it does. Fudge.

• 2012-05-31 16:37:48: Link commented on Mage Tutelage

  Well, they made Dark Confidant into Dark Tutelage... not that Dark Tutelage saw much play, right?

• 2012-05-31 16:37:23: Link created the card Mage Tutelage
• 2012-05-31 16:31:29: Link commented on Astral Gyre

  I love those decks. I'm such a Johnny. I mean, Gilder Bairn is my favorite card, so that's probably obvious.

• 2012-05-31 16:28:03: Link commented on Flesh to Flame

  Why does this always happen when I DON'T search the Gatherer? lol

• 2012-05-31 16:22:15: Alex commented on Flesh to Flame

  Heh. Spontaneous Combustion is already a card, somewhat similar to this, although Rupture is even closer.

• 2012-05-31 16:21:12: Alex commented on Astral Gyre

  Yup :P

  Bypassing the mana cost is a very Johnny/Spike thing to do. Avoiding randomness also: see the tournament decks that cascade into Living End / Hypergenesis, which was a great Johnnyish thing to do until Spike realised "Hey, this wins games".

• 2012-05-31 15:23:54: Link edited Thought Extraction:

  Cut cost by .

• 2012-05-31 15:19:05: Link commented on Thought Extraction

  Clearly, my problem is that when I try to design Spike cards, I end up with Johnny cards.
