Needs some kind of anti recursion clause, otherwise this goes infinite, and play becomes.

Cast this, end turn, your draw phase; You're decked matey.

Yeah, this seems somewhat reasonable now.

I can dig the change. I think it might still be too good against Mono-Red Beats, since that deck is all about tempo... but at least now you can play the game.

Yeah, this is at least as strong as The Tabernacle At Pendrell Vale, which was crazily overpowered.

So... play this on round one? I win, since I'm playing a creatureless deck full of counterspells?

Reminscent, weirdly, of Bushi Tenderfoot.

I was considering giving this deathtouch and maybe dropping it to a 1/1. You would have to protect it during its first kill, but it would potentially grow faster.

Yeah, I only realised when I saw Alex link to it here. And yes, I think Alex is correct that anything that says "Sliver" probably refers only to permanents (and would be errata'd to say so if necessary?), and only things that say "spells" include Sliver instants and sorceries.

2012-05-02 10:53:03: Alex commented on Certainty

Homing Sliver / Sliver Overlord are probably the best Sliver cards to use with changeling instants. Prot-colour from Ward Sliver doesn't work, and I don't even think Ghostflame Sliver works - both of them want to only apply to permanents. Essence Sliver might work if there were any changeling burn spells, but there aren't... There aren't any "Whenever you cast a Sliver spell" triggers or even "Return target Sliver card from your graveyard" effects, so sadly it doesn't really have as much of an interaction as you'd like.

2012-05-02 03:21:16: jmgariepy commented on Certainty

Holy... I never realized changeling instants could work with Slivers. Hmm... you can also make the spells colorless and gain protection from a color. It's a pity none of them deal damage... otherwise we could play with lifelink and deathtouch. Also, none of them are sorceries, which would have been slick with Quick Sliver...

2012-05-01 14:00:08: Jack V commented on Certainty

Good point. I find it somewhat amusing that the oracle text for root sliver still says "Root Sliver can't be countered" but had to be updated to add the "by spells or abilities" clause to "Sliver spells can't be countered", presumably because at the time it was written, all Sliver spells were creatures which never targetted, but eventually Nameless Inversion et al were printed, as Sliver spells that did target :)

2012-05-01 12:09:02: Alex commented on Certainty

You don't RC. This works fine. (Cf Root Sliver and Vexing Shusher.)

2012-05-01 08:25:41: My Rules commented on Certainty

IIRC this type of thing, whilst very very tempting, has some weird drawbacks in the "Oh, and I don't have the mana because I spent it, spell fizzles - except it doesn't hahahaha!" department. (It's the floor above menswear)

Secret Mollusk's evaluation is based on Psychic Venom, but Pooling Venom is a more modern analogue, with a better ability. Personally, I think the idea of putting 2+/2+ rats into play is more powerful than 2 damage. It's incredibly good in a frenemy group game. "Gee, my opponent, it appears you have once again tapped that land of yours and put a rat into play! Guess all my rats are 6/6s now..." Personally, I'm not sure if the card should stay about where it is, or if the partial phrase "as long as it was tapped for mana" should be added, and the cost reduced. Guess that's your call.
