T1, Forest, Birds, T2, Mountain, lotus, T3, Forest, Ultimatum? :)
I think they tried to make the ultimatums not too broken if you cast then early. What's the best 7-cost target here? :) But you might not be casting much else this game
To be honest, I think blowing round three to cast a perfect 7-cost on round four with relative consistency to be a potentially powerful choice on it's own merit. But it is, admittedly, difficult to be excited about the whole idea.
Yeah, I don't quite know about the balance. I suspect that it may be in the "overpowered-underpowered" overlap where paying 3 mana and a card to get something expensive out next turn is just not that exciting, but that if you can do something clever with recurring it, it supports all the same combos as black lotus.
It COULD be called anything, but I do feel inexorably drawn to lotuses. What I want to do is have a reason why this isn't cheap, that feels interesting rather than nerfed, somehow. Let's try:
Contraband Lotus
Granite Lotus
That's the one :)
Being more serious - if wizards actually made this, they'd probably use "Diamond" in the name, since that's their name for the no-longer-power-nine; Lion's Eye Diamond, Sky Diamond et al.
Annoyingly; there doesn't seem to be a name "Lotus Diamond" other than... exactly that. Which is a crap name. But searching famous diamonds finds me sun drops (which magic already used)... and the "Black Orlov"... So sure. Volro Diamond
I believe you mean this?
Appropriate, but hard to use name: Sad clown 'wah wah waaaah' sound.
Oh, also, on rarity. I'm a believer that Mythics should be splashy end cards, not utility cards that move us to the end. But if any card should be Mythic despite that rule, it's a Black Lotus variation.
Welcome back! Just in case it didn't immediately occur to you, yes, this is a 'fixed' Black Lotus. And no, I don't know why Wizards hasn't printed it yet. My best guess is that it's possibly unsafe at
, but terrible at 
, and Wizards didn't want to print a bad Lotus.
Your card name doesn't need to have the word 'Black' or 'Lotus' in the title. In fact, there's a good shot the vote won't go your way for being unoriginal. But... you know... people also like things that 'feel right'. And this does look like a variation on the Lotus...
I'll leave the naming up to you. ;)
Sometimes the poll chooses a clear winner, and sometimes is just eliminates a few options. I chose Jack's 'Smell of the Sea', but really I could have chosen any of these entries.
I'll see you all again in (((NTC #058)))!
Polling is up! Click here to choose your favorite name!
Wisdom of The Insane
Lunatic Predictions
For silver bordered land, Ballmer Peak :)
I was going to say something like "Dementia of the Deep", but hm, that's the same flavour everyone else has gone for. There are plenty of other aspects to blue. This could be an maniacal wizard's overfocus, or an icy fever dream, or the obsessed response to a sphinx's riddle... so many options. I'll try to restrict myself to two submissions:
Diver's Narcosis
or just the straight-up
Fever Dream
Smell of the Sea
Whispers from the Depths
Ocean Madness
Welcome back to name that card! I've been playing some Slay the Spire lately, and admittedly, this card is an adaptation from a card there. It's rather powerful in the right deck, letting you trade a discard for a draw and a loot. But you can't cast this spell. You can only Madness it.
What's this card's name?
Alex does what shouldn't be done and wins the run off vote. ;)
I'll see everybody in (((NTC #057)))!
My favorite entry is either Squire of Gaea or Friendly Willow...
but since Alex's is the most appropriate, it wins my +2 (play on words, i didn't vote twice pls don't call csis)
I am accepting Froggy's +1 vote for Budding Thallid after the fact. That means that every entry now has precisely one vote. So here's a run-off vote with all four entries.
Oh of course! That does feel correct! Although "budding" feels like it could describe any thallid, I wonder if there's an adjective more relevant to the ability?
Disqualified!
Unfortunately, too. I would've voted for this suggestion :(
If JM decides to pardon your late proposal, than you have my +1
...Oops, was looking at an old version of the page :)
Mm, ability counters sound cool. But if this isn't an ability counter, and nor is it a oneoff counter, then it must be a familiar counter type... that goes on green creatures... so this is obviously a:
Budding Thallid
Creature - Fungus
With a spore counter!
