It's like the opposite of Benthic Explorers :P

Yeah, I could see the flavour of this working. It's interesting that it can /either/ play mana acceleration, /or/ mana denial, but not really both unless you want to play flash creatures in your opponent's upkeep.

Trying to find a reasonable mana source in blue. Tapping down opponents lands seems blueish. Actually, this would probably need to be a bit more costly.

shroud isn't evergreen enough, spell it out.

Pfah! Ok, P/T added. WTB: Copy card to another set.

Only this time it has no power and toughness?

2012-06-12 15:52:11: Vitenka commented on Gemb, Wolfcaller

I'd just like to point at this one, again, and giggle.

:)

2012-06-12 15:02:36: Vitenka commented on Fyndhorn Elves

So I needed a replacement for Llanowar Elves and, what luck, one already exists. Fyndhorn Elves reprint, obviously.

2012-06-12 15:02:14: Vitenka created the card Fyndhorn Elves

2012-06-12 14:48:45: Vitenka commented on Fire elf

And that would be where I came in, with the flavourtext :)

To fit Nomadic Elf I do kinda want the cycle to have {1} {?} : abilities But maybe I should just stop wanting that.

2012-06-12 14:43:52: Alex commented on Fire elf

Heh. One general rule for anyone on Multiverse: if your intuition is that something's too complex for common, it's usually worth listening to that intuition :)

2012-06-12 14:37:59: Alex commented on Llanowar Regrets

A notable step up on Covert Operative. But that was never a good card, and was in a set where blue was particularly hosed. Latch Seeker is the modern version of the other half, and suggests this might be okay.

2012-06-12 14:09:11: Vitenka commented on Fire elf

Ump. Ok. Maybe I will go with the damage redirection then. Seems to complex for a common, really, though.

2012-06-12 14:06:52: Alex commented on Fire elf

Goblin Guide is most emphatically not a precedent for anything. It ostensibly has a drawback, although blatantly not enough. It's an absurd rule-breaking card, and it's also rare.

We only brought it up on Alexander's set because he's designing off-the-charts power cards, and comparing against the most OTT printed cards is the only sane way to discuss his ones.

2012-06-12 14:06:19: Vitenka commented on Sneaky Mammoth

Mmmmm...yeah.

Maybe I'll just have something stompy sized with reach.

2012-06-12 14:04:32: Alex commented on Sneaky Mammoth

Curious. Probably reasonable. Not going to be very different to just "First strike" very often. Also not really very in-colour for green.

2012-06-12 14:02:56: Vitenka commented on Mishra's Anth Menet

Referencing Ankh of Mishra obviously. But I really want this to be named 'Anthacite' to fit the rest of the cycle.

2012-06-12 14:01:58: Vitenka commented on Anthracite Monolith

Well; this is a vertical cycle mainly intended for "You killed my lands, but, ok, I'm cool with that"

The design intent of the set is "Pretty much everything is 'normal' power level" (Where normal is a couple of sets ago, now)

References Anthracite Mechanism and Doorway to Anthra

2012-06-12 13:50:20: Vitenka commented on Doorway to Anthra

This vertical is mainly to let players recover after their lands get blown up. Not sure how well this (admittedly fun) card does in that role.

Also references Anthracite Monolith and Anthracite Mechanism in badwrongpun ways.

2012-06-12 13:49:24: Vitenka commented on Fire elf

Oh, so it get's 2/2 haste for {r} , but isn't allowed it for {1} {r} ? Insanity!

This slot probably needs to be fairly vanilla. I might make it {1} {r} : Firebreathing (on a 1/1 body)

Guh, that was dumb of me. 3/2. Fixed.

2012-06-12 13:44:21: Alex commented on Llanowar Regrets

Hmmmm. Well, I guess it fixes the worst bit of Invisible Stalker, which was that it could still pick up equipment. What's the P/T?

Was Mana Dingus

2012-06-12 13:43:34: Vitenka created the card Dingus

2012-06-12 13:42:56: Alex commented on Appropriate Cost

Unless you add "nonblack" or similar, yeah, this needs to be more expensive, sadly.

2012-06-12 13:42:33: Alex commented on Fire elf

Hmm? Nomads en-Kor was common back in the day, and I'm not sure that ability's much different to the en-Kor.

BTW, red doesn't get Grizzly Bears, let alone with upside.
