I wanted this to have a flavour that he's giving creatures pheromone-imbued harnesses or hats or something, so I want a different name. At the moment the name sounds like he just gives people drugs...

But with a more flavourful type given the set has several such.

2011-01-26 11:48:48: Alex commented on Brass Crow

A natural reference to Brass Gnat (which was itself a reference to Brass Man). If this turns out to be too good, it could turn into a reprint of Brass Gnat.

2011-01-26 11:44:17: Alex commented on Daredevil Pilot

On the one hand, this is just a minor tweak on Wild Griffin or Ronom Unicorn. On the other hand, this would go straight into several casual decks I have as an evasive maindeckable Disenchant. Is it too good? Compare with Cloudchaser Eagle and Kor Sanctifiers.

2011-01-26 11:42:42: Alex commented on Sadistic Duke

Some nobles have lower-CMC effects that aren't actually Hierarchy but work with the same kind of feel.

2011-01-26 11:41:28: Alex commented on Baron von Striechfiss

A powerful effect that's not been printed before; vaguely reminiscent of Last Laugh or Kaervek the Merciless. (Actually, probably closest to Goblin Sharpshooter.) Also works well with Deathtrap on the Baron's troops like Baron's Grunt.

2011-01-26 11:39:37: Alex commented on Binding

Trying to give each colour a common answer to artifacts, without actually including the word "artifact" in too many rules texts. This is a natural tweak on Paralyzing Grasp for a set like this.

2011-01-26 11:38:02: Alex commented on Imbue with Arsenic

Trying to give each colour a common answer to annoying artifacts. Black is obviously hardest, but this is simple and vaguely works. This is a tweak on Nettling Curse or Curse Artifact.

2011-01-26 10:19:54: Alex commented on Refractive Cagemail

For the moment I'm going with Camruth's idea but upgraded to a Harm's Way / Carom effect: the equipment turns the creature into a Zealous Inquisitor. This is an effect white has got several times (see also Shining Shoal, Kor Chant, Refraction Trap) but I don't think has ever been on an Aura or Equipment. Perfect!

I've tweaked the flavour slightly to make it feel more like an artifact and less like an aura.

That's quite a nice idea. I could definitely go with something like that. Thank you!
