  Really bad idea for an alternative text:

  "Counter target spell unless its controller pays , , , or ."

  B-p

  I'm not sure if there's a cleaner way of saying that... but assuming people understand what I'm talking about, I may have come up with something will pop up on a few other cards.

  Also, I'm a bit proud of myself for figuring out how to get "≠" in the flavor text. Good old copy/paste... you win again.

  Oh, weird... the word 'Southerly' can be used as a noun to mean "Southern Front"? Okay, sure, I'll fly that up the flagpole. It's not like I expect people to know what 'xeric' means, anyway.

  Man, there's a lot of words for wind... I'm kind of surprised how few Magic has used so far, but I assume the flavor team has the same problem I did. For South Winds alone we have Sirrocco, which comes from North Africa. Khamsin is Egypt. Notus is tied to Greek Mythos. Gibli is a Lybian wind, Friagem blows over Brazil and Kona applies to Hawaii. Of all of them, Auster sounds fine... it's tied to Roman Mythology, but isn't as heavy handed as Notus... but Xeric Auster sounded a bit too much like a Captain America villain for my ears...

  Heh. That's quite a step up from Defensive Stance :P I.e. this is actually playable.

  I'm slowly filling in the evergreen mechanics. Originally, the second white salvage card was on Detention Mark, but it didn't make much sense on a card that would rarely leave play. I thought to make this a Raise the Alarm variant + salvage... but... it seemed too useful? I want the salvage cards to be used early and late for good effect, but I want a few to make people scratch their heads and think about how they will do it. Finding a way to get this to be cast on round 2 was a bit tough... but sorcery speed works well. I would have just made Glorious Charge cost more, but I didn't want to remind people of Warrior's Honor.

  Removed salvage so I can put it on a more appropriate card.

• 2012-11-06 04:42:29: jmgariepy commented on Arms to Arms

  Heh. It's funny, because I never changed the flavor text, which was originally just talking about tools. Now that I'm talking about taking metal out of Mirrans, though, it sounds like cannibalism. Maybe it is? Even if you aren't eating your dead, is using someone's hip bone for your plow any better?

• 2012-11-05 11:25:04: Vitenka commented on Arms to Arms

  Ew at the flavourtext. The Tel Jilad have become Eater of the Dead.

• 2012-11-05 11:20:23: jmgariepy commented on Arms to Arms

  Whenever. Thank you.

  No no, you're right. Sorcery it is.

• 2012-11-05 10:28:41: Vitenka commented on Maddening Orbit

  Or if you really do want it to work the way it seems like it ought to; you need a lot more words and a higher CMC (and rarity, to compensate for the words)

• 2012-11-05 10:28:00: Alex commented on Arms to Arms

  "Instead", or "Whenever"? You can't have both.

• 2012-11-05 10:25:38: Alex commented on Maddening Orbit

  Isn't this one better as a sorcery, like Redactive Orbit? Granting evasion abilities at instant speed has potential for confusion.
