• 2011-02-14 12:44:03: Alex commented on Carrier Zeppelin

  Removed the "if there are 3 or less" restriction. It was flavour-driven, but it doesn't add enough to be worth it.

• 2011-02-14 12:43:42: Alex edited Carrier Zeppelin:

  Activate

• 2011-02-14 12:42:56: Alex edited Cerebrocharge Saddle:

  This plays very well. It's strong but not too strong. Activate it and give it a code.

• 2011-02-14 12:40:28: Alex edited Ornithopter:

  yep, this plays well in the set: activate it and give it a code

  equip cost down from 3 to 2, because it was often sitting unequipped as was

• 2011-02-13 02:03:43: Alex commented on Binding

  Hah. Yes, that was one of Shards's less powerful cards :) It's interesting the gradual increase in power of this effect that Wizards have given blue: from Dehydration in 10th Ed, to Glimmerdust Nap in Lorwyn, to Paralyzing Grasp in Zendikar. (Of course, they're all still not as good as Shackles from Invasion.)

• 2011-02-12 16:16:28: Shiny_Umbreon commented on Binding

  What Coma Veil should have been.

• 2011-02-10 18:24:30: Jack V commented on Gyromancer

  Wheel fitter. Torque: Target land becomes a ?/? green creature until end of turn ??

• 2011-02-10 18:03:19: Alex commented on Gyromancer

  Ah, I see! Absolutely. I'd really like to take this card's opportunity to get a non-blue effect for Torque, in fact. I could up the cost a little and go with +1/+1 counters (Dragon Blood), but I've already got Calistronic Galvaniser and Thornspreader Recluse. But some other options.

• 2011-02-10 17:18:18: Chris commented on Gyromancer

  Yeah, that's fine; I just mean I'm not sure you could shoehorn P/T switch onto this card.

• 2011-02-10 16:23:24: Alex commented on Gyromancer

  The power types do provide a little disconnection between colour and effect, though. I've got mill for [Torque] on Iron-Studded Grindstone, and granting flying on Pedal-Crank Wings; neither of those are at all green in flavour, but they are blue, and they have artifact precedent (Millstone etc, and Flying Carpet etc), which I think is enough. I could justify P/T switch in the same way; although I'm not sure that's got an artifact precedent, I don't think it'd break anything. But it'd be nice to find a green mechanic or two that could feel suited to Torque, just for balance.

• 2011-02-10 16:05:54: Chris commented on Gyromancer

  I also thought of P/T switch, but that's sadly a Red/Blue mechanic, and the only "Blue" Torque Untapper (I think) is Heat-Compression Centrifuge, which rather wants to remain untap for the connector stuff. Fitting it in Green could be tricky.

• 2011-02-10 15:25:52: Alex edited Clockwork Crankgun:

  mark active - still need to rearrange skeleton to find a slot

• 2011-02-10 14:48:41: Alex commented on Autocorrecting Tilt-Rotor

  Isn't it awesome? I found that piece of art by Alex Jenyon when searching for steampunk ships, and thought it was one of the coolest things I'd seen :) It's from this page.

• 2011-02-10 14:32:20: Jack V commented on Gyromancer

  Oops, sorry, ok, I agree that is a lot. Also, I agree Pedal-Crank Wings and Crankgun are pretty good flavour.

• 2011-02-10 14:19:38: Alex commented on Gyromancer

  Jack: Currently you can spend [Torque] on this to untap creatures, Irrigation Spraywheel to untap land, and Heat-Compression Centrifuge to untap artifacts (which may also be creatures or land). And then there's another artifact or two which can untap stuff unrelated to Torque. I think that's too much. I certainly agree that Torque is better flavour for untap than any of the other powers, but I think two would be enough.

  I think the only mill artifacts at the moment are Iron-Studded Grindstone which is already [Torque]-powered, and Psychofocus Disruptor.

  Since I've listed most of the current Torque uses, the rest are Pedal-Crank Wings which is about as good flavour for a combat equipment as [Torque] is going to get, Clockwork Crankgun which is currently inactive but I'm considering finding a slot for, and Flywheel Relic which is just like all the other relics.

  Camruth: Nice thought! I'll see if I can do something with that.

• 2011-02-10 14:14:24: Camruth commented on Gyromancer

  I can see P/T switching as being a Torque ability.

• 2011-02-10 13:59:10: Jack V commented on Gyromancer

  You don't have that much untap so this may well be fine, it's especially flavourful for torque. Other possibilities would be recurring a card from graveyard to hand or library, or milling.

  (Although I like the steam-mill artifact, so don't really want you to switch that to toque even if it would make sense.)

• 2011-02-10 13:53:12: Alex commented on Anrion Prodigy

  A tweak of Vedalken Engineer or Soldevi Machinist. May be too good. Compare Palladium Myr, which cost more and was still awesome acceleration.

• 2011-02-10 13:51:35: Alex edited Anrion Prodigy:

  add artifact restriction

• 2011-02-10 13:42:10: Alex edited Blazebeam Manticore:

  didn't have a creature type. add one.

• 2011-02-10 13:33:08: Camruth commented on Autocorrecting Tilt-Rotor

  like the artwork - very cool
