I didn't think so, but something about it seemed familiar. Probably I was thinking of Dissipation Field. I'm glad you made the comparison to Niv-Mizzet, because it's quite right. He's missing the flying, allowing him to be a 5/5, so hopefully I've costed him appropriately. I purposefully didn't give the creature haste or untap it, which makes the ability slightly less good. Slightly.
No, I don't think so. Dissipation Field (the blue version of No Mercy/Dread/Aurification) is the closest that's happened, and this is a lot more powerful.
He reminds me rather of Niv-Mizzet, the Firemind. A legendary creature with cost 2UURR, a triggered ability, and an activated ability that can trigger that ability.
Very interesting combination of effects, anyway. Good card.
I like it. The meaning is very clear, like many flip cards that are fiddly within the rules. The only rules problem is that they don't currently define what happens to a flip card on the stack, but it wouldn't be hard to enhance them so they do.
Probably works more simply "If this would be countered, instead deal 2 damage to that creature" but a flip is kinda cool.
Pretty sure this doesn't work under the current rules, but I think it's a cool concept.
Does this ability exist already?
Green cards in a cycle so often end up with trample...
Changed when the ability triggers and falls off.
Yes, I think the effect is powerful and splashy enough to be suitable for mythic.
Do you think it deserves to be Mythic?
Hmm... He can only slow down one creature at a time. The irritating thing is the land-bounce, and the way that once he's got at least one thing of mine being juggled, I'm never increasing my land count beyond its current level. If I cast one creature a turn, all-but-one of them will get there with on average only one turn's delay. It's the land balance that might get too annoying. But then, if I'd be too hamstrung by the land bounce, I don't have to cast any creatures...
It's fairly strong, and undeniably a griefer card, but I think it's probably not too evil to print.
Changed name.
This card may be too evil.
Not actively, but that's a cute combo. I started by wondering what white would do while enchanting something in exile.
Looking for ways to make Serum Powder viable at last?
Do you think it could be cheaper?
Of course, Erayo's Essence would more more annoying to cast consistently, though at
or suspended at least it's not gamebreaking. I guess.
Wow. That's a funky and weird card.
Hmm... good point. I was raising concerns that aren't really appropriate here. I think when designers submit this idea inside WotC (as I'm sure they do), the Rules Team probably do push back at them with this kind of concern; but it's a pretty minimal concern, and you're completely right that it's not the designer's job to worry about it.
Multiverse is somewhat agnostic between whether it's a site for just design, or for design-and-development. Rules problems are the kind of thing that developers need to worry about. However, I'd agree it was out of place for me to raise these concerns as soon as such a card was proposed.
I think I mentioned the Jhoira / Fist interactions because I'm a Johnny/Melvin, and I find it interesting that this is what the consequences of this rules change would be.
To answer the Evermind question: Originally Fist of the Suns and Isochron Scepter didn't let you cast Evermind. But in order to make Suspend work, Time Spiral changed the rules about nonexistent mana costs, which meant that it became possible to cast Evermind in these ways. It was an irrelevant enough change that they didn't care. Nor should you when proposing this similar change. It's not going to break extended if someone can pay
for Dokai, Weaver of Life.
Obviously, this was inspired while I was thinking about Spellweaver Volute.
Still on a quest to design a general for my boyfriend. He said he likes this one. :)
I think his wording needs to be cleaned up.
