Sure, I'll get back on these soon and think up some new and cool ideas for the hybrid cycles :)

2012-05-30 12:55:23: Jack V commented on Boros Battle Cry

Yeah, there should probably be a common hybrid version of Skillful Lunge and Thunder Strike -- they're the exact same card. In fact, that's almost TOO obvious to be interesting.

Possibly a variant could be a sorcery speed version, red seems to get those nore often.

I'd have to agree. Rally the Peasants shows the first half is okay for either colour, but lifelink is most definitely not good on a mono-red spell. This could make a great common with first strike instead of lifelink, so why waste a rare slot when hybrid commons are so hard to make?

2012-05-28 03:36:14: Rudyard commented on Boros Battle Cry

ew, no, i hate it when hybrid spells bleed like this. red shouldn't get life gain at all

nice.

2012-05-27 23:32:44: Cymerdown commented on Thundersong Drumbeater

Yeah, maybe. :) Well, I'll make it 2/1 for now and then whenever I get around finishing the set, I'd like to do some drafts with it to see how it all plays out. But yes, you're probably right that making it 2/1 works better overall.

2012-05-27 23:17:43: Alex commented on Spirit Channeler

Indeed, that's the problem. It's kinda fiddly because I need to apply background colours to the text div on gold/hybrid cards, and because I don't want the main card text div to be absolute positioned because that breaks the auto-resize Javascript. But I can probably find some way to make it work.

Wacky Captain's Maneuver take on Brightflame.

2012-05-27 23:09:18: dude1818 commented on Spirit Channeler

Shouldn't the text be applied in a layer above the watermark?

2012-05-27 23:06:58: Alex commented on Jace, Master of Illusions

Hee, he does go well with Niv-Mizzet, doesn't he? Nice. Good call on making him able to protect himself, too.

2012-05-27 23:01:19: Alex commented on Spirit Channeler

Ah, yes, I like this new version a lot. Reminds me of Journeyman Falconwright, but as a kicker spell is a nice update.

Hmm, I should have another go at making the watermarks work better since Ravnica is just around the corner.

2012-05-27 22:59:09: Alex commented on Thundersong Drumbeater

I think it's fine to add mana as a tweak, but I think this could be 2/1 or even 2/2 to make up for that. (Assuming you're still planning on having Boros be aggro.)

2012-05-27 22:56:49: Cymerdown commented on Jace, Master of Illusions

Thanks! The idea was to make a 4-mana Jace that protects himself a bit without being super-broken like JTMS, and also works well with the Niv-Mizzet that I made that's currently in that Cards With No Home set, since the spoiler for RTR shows Jace and Niv-Mizzet standing next to each other in a cooperational kind of pose. (I would put Niv-Mizzet as the chase rare in my 2nd set to go well with Jace from the first one.)

2012-05-27 22:35:35: Alex commented on Jace, Master of Illusions

I like the -1 as a standalone spell effect. It's a little bit like Foresee, a little bit like Brainstorm, and a good -1.

The other two are amusing :)

2012-05-27 22:13:01: Cymerdown commented on Elves of Deep Shadow

Green is typically the color of fixing, and EoDS was very good for Golgari or just splashing black. Green classically has a common 1-drop accelerant in most sets in order to compete with other colors. If I took it out, I'd want to replace it with another good 1-drop accelerant that fixes.

2012-05-27 22:09:57: Cymerdown commented on Thundersong Drumbeater

In general, I'm not looking to make RW overall worse in this set (I don't think it was made good enough in the original), but I'm looking to make the commons overall closer in relative power level to each other.

2012-05-27 22:06:50: Cymerdown commented on Thundersong Drumbeater

I was thinking about keeping it 2/1... no, it wasn't the -best- boros common, but Trumpeter was still an extremely good tapper in common and I'm not a huge fan of when there are commons that are complete head and shoulders above the other ones. I'm also kind of a fan of making a tapper that has two different activated abilities since it makes you plan your turn out and tap your mana correctly.

2012-05-27 22:01:25: Cymerdown commented on Spirit Channeler

@Alex: Yeah, there's a couple of different ways to play off of Transluminant. Here's another version. :)

Curious choice for a reprint. Birds of Paradise I'll give you by the same logic that Mindslaver was reprinted in Scars of Mirrodin, but EoDS?

2012-05-27 21:59:24: Alex commented on Thundersong Drumbeater

Wow, did Thundersong Trumpeter really need such a nerf? Add mana, and make it a much less aggressive size? I mean, he was alright, but he wasn't a powerhouse of the Boros deck (that would probably be Skyknight Legionnaire and Rally the Righteous).

2012-05-27 21:58:40: Cymerdown commented on Dimir Spy

@Alex: You might be right that this could be too good, I changed it slightly to be a bit less powerful. :)
