  Let's fix Aether Vial!

• 2012-02-14 02:46:11: M_Houlding commented on Heratian Dreadnought

  Continuing with the theme of Spike/Johnny throwback cards to represent Heratian artifacts. (For background, Ruins of Herat -- Stereotypical ancient ruins of future technology being harvested by the antagonist Evil Empire, the Vastal.)

  I'm pretty sure this is harder to abuse than Phyrexian Dreadnought, as you actually need the trigger to happen, but what do I know.

  Too complex for common, moved to uncommon.

  Moved to rare, opened the ability up, added to casting cost.

  Added a and ditched the sorcery-speed timing clause.

  That's entirely for flavor purposes. Struck me as an odd idea for it to be able to reflect an entire landmass.

• 2012-02-07 12:33:14: Alex commented on Ahriman's Mirrorpool

  I do like this a lot. I think "nonland" isn't necessary, since the becoming-a-copy is optional.

• 2012-02-07 00:48:58: M_Houlding commented on NEEDS NAME

  Thanks, Sorrow!

  I was pretty bummed the Innistrad duals just mirrored the M10 cycle, but oh well.

• 2012-02-06 21:54:46: Sorrow commented on NEEDS NAME

  I agree, this cycle seems fantastic.

  @dude - You know, that's a good question. I'm not sure if it really needs it for balance, and somehow it seems more flavorful if it doesn't. And I think I'd have to go full on Sakashima and add a bunch of text if I did, because if I were just make it remain a Legendary Artifact, I'm pretty sure there would be all sorts of screwy rules issues.

• 2012-01-19 05:17:46: M_Houlding commented on Heratian Synthesizer

  Decided that it was alright to dial back the drawback, as it's basically a glorified Overabundance and the current drawback now allows for both more "solutions" and more casual-friendly general value.

  Thumbs up for a good blue/black mechanic!

• 2012-01-18 20:42:15: dude1818 commented on Ahriman's Mirrorpool

  This starts out legendary, but it loses the supertype when it becomes something else. Is it supposed to be more like Sakashima the Impostor?

• 2012-01-18 19:56:29: M_Houlding commented on Heratian Synthesizer

  Hopefully the deck list above demonstrates that the current incarnation of the Synthesizer doesn't "only [work] with a small handful of ritual effects".

  Cost-reduction keywords (Affinity, Convoke, Delve, Prowl, Offering, Phyrexian Mana) each offer a degree of synergy (or rather, a solution), as well as spell-doubling effects like Cascade, Rebound, Storm, and Ripple. Then you have all the alternate cost spells that can be cast for free, most of which are better than the goofy Terms of Engagement in my list.

  If the drawback were instead "spells you cast cost an additional 1 life to cast for each spell you've cast this turn", suddenly there is no benefit to any of those effects. Now, maybe something like a self-inflicted Manabarbs is the proper way to go, to open it up to Creature and Artifact-based mana sources. I dunno.

  Possibly also needs "becomes a copy of that card", like Scion of the Ur-Dragon
