Thanks!
fascinating, original and probably playable
dang, that's awesome
Thanks!
Is it wrong that the first thing I thought when I saw the ultimate was "Celestial Dawn and Death of a Thousand Stings!" I get a bit too excited by DoaTS. I love that card, and am rather happy that it's not good, since that just means I'm the only one who plays it. :)
But, yes, that ultimate is begging to be played with a solid buyback-style card (though most real cards with buyback wouldn't be appropriate, since I don't think this cuts into the additional cost. Evangelize makes a nice exception). Celestial Dawn may be a damn strong idea, anyway. Casting a free blue draw spell every turn would be nuts. Not unbalanced nuts... just nuts.
Huh. For some reason, I though that wasn't the case.
With the +1 you should be able to just say "cost
less to cast" as in the rules a coloured cost reduction will reduce the colourless component of a cost if it can't reduce the colour component.
No problem.
Would it be presumptuous to ask if you could rename this cardset to something like "link's cards" or "spillover from [other set name]"? I feel really silly, but every time I look for the community cards with no home set I get it muddled up with this one blush.
Oh, and yes, 1 CMC is probably a good idea -- I didn't think of it before, but the best 0 mana creature is probably Wildblood Pack, where X=4 gives five 20/5 trample creatures.
But if you restrict to 1 CMC it's probably ok -- it's pretty strong with Hada Freeblade, but as long as you avoid having any 1 CMC "when another enters the battlefield" creatures in Standard, this+Freeblade is probably not too good for Modern.
Fascinating card. I like it.
X-cost creatures are another tempting avenue, but don't really work because they all want +1/+1 counters (Ivy Elemental etc). Mikaeus, the Lunarch would be good if you had a Mirror Gallery and a Veteran Armorer out. Lightning Serpent is the best, but you'd usually be better off just hitting Spark Elemental.
Oh, right. Tokens could be dangerous with this. I'll make it CMC 1 exactly, though Hada Freeblade and Champion of the Parish would still be scary.
Is it weird that I made this while trying to think of a blue spell that would go well in a ramp deck?
If you can get a Vexing Devil to stick, making lots of copies of that would be pretty funny.
Ooh, yeah... you probably want to say non-token creature. Or "with a casting cost of 1" would clear that up while hiding the problem. I also find this card fascinating. I'm trying to figure out a creature than can break this, but the best I can come up with is Virulent Sliver. Maybe Spore Frog. Hada Freeblade is probably the winner, though.
Flash back a Roar of the Wurm and follow it up with 3-4 6/6 Wurm tokens?
Oh, cool design. The fun bit of "X copies" while possibly not being too good :)
Best combos I could see are Hada Freeblade for X X/X creatures, or Soul Warden for X squared life.
Hmmm. You can charge him up, I doubt I'd very often want to. It doesn't look to me like he's gaining extra spears, more he's holding one very large spear that gets larger.
Seems a valid card. Evil black stealy ability, but only for small creatures, or at risk, or in combo with other removal.
Is the flavor of him having to hold the spear before he throws it and the ability to built up extra spears when there's nothing to target not worth putting the counter on him first?
Jack is right about the odd costs of player burn: Lava Spike, Flames of the Blood Hand, Lava Axe.
Although recently Vexing Devil has brought us a card that's very similar to this: 4 damage to a player, costs
, has a drawback, rare.
I think this design is spot on.
Oh. Ha.
In your edit-note, you've written "upped coat".
Huh? Is there a typo I'm not seeing in my just-took-an-accidental-nap grogginess?
I preferred its down-jacket. Much warmer.
upped coat.
