2016-04-17 12:31:09: jameschanlee commented on Void Ray

Before:

Void Ray {2} {u}
Creature - Protoss [u]
Flying Whenever ~ deals combat damage to a player, put a psi counter on it.
~ gets +1/+1 for each psi counter on it.
1/1

Weaker and more complicated, but uses shield ability properly now.
Also solves mechanics question for old version. "Why bother with psi counters? why not just put +1/+1 counters directly?"

2016-04-17 12:28:26: jameschanlee commented on Wraith

Before:

Wraith {2} {w}
Artifact Creature - Terran [u]
Flying
Morph {w}
When ~ is turned face up, you may return it to its owner's hand.
2/1

Removed additional text baggage to be simpler. Now practically a generic switch creature.
Not a lot of incentive to flip it down though, except for probably the additional point of toughness.

2016-04-17 12:26:02: jameschanlee commented on Reaver

Before:

Reaver {2} {w}
Artifact Creature - Protoss [u]
{t} : Put a psi counter on ~.
{1} , Remove a psi counter from ~: ~ gets +2/+0 and gains first strike until end of turn.
0/3

Now a shield user.
solves the non-color pie issue of having +2/+0.

2016-04-17 12:22:58: jameschanlee commented on Psionic Storm

Before:

Psionic Storm {3} {w} {w}
Sorcery [r]
Each player chooses a number of creatures he or she controls equal to the number of creatures controlled by the player with the fewest, then sacrifices the rest.

Changed from white balance to sacrificial, non-flashback Divine Reckoning.
Less complex to understand, also slightly nerfed to compensate for increase in power from shield keyword.

2016-04-17 12:19:16: jameschanlee commented on Lockdown

Before:

Lockdown {2} {w} {w}
Sorcery [u]
Tap all creatures target player controls. Those creatures don't untap during that player's next untap step.

Almost functionally the same, but within red and white flavor. whtie = can't attack, red = can't block.

Replacement for.. something. probably (((Defense Matrix))).

Gonna unkeyword the salvage ability of Terran to save design space. But with that gone, need more card advantage thingies.
It's been a long time since Jayemdae Tome was in any way powerful. Let's see whether this version is broken.

2016-04-16 00:18:14: dude1818 commented on Dark Archon

I've never really thought of Mind Control as a feel-bad card. That said, I once had an opening concede a game of Commander when I cast it on his Commander, so I guess I see where you're coming from. (He should've seen it coming; his Commander was Merieke Ri Berit, for crying out loud.)

2016-04-15 23:04:21: jameschanlee commented on Dark Archon

Long time coming.

Possible replacement for (((Mind Control))), which was always sort of a feel-bad card. (You feel bad even when you're the one casting it, as the victory always felt kinda cheap.) Not dev-tested, so p/t and costs may change.
With the new Arbiter and possible re-inclusion of Stargate, should be interesting.

2016-04-15 22:34:53: jameschanlee commented on Dark Templar

{2} {u} {u} 4/1 -> {1} {u} {u} 3/2

Variance was too high for our liking; it's absolutely useless if you're even a little bit behind, and frustrating to play against if the Protoss has any kind of position. It's bad to just sort of sigh as your life total drops and drops without you being able to do anything about it.
Had marginally more success with a 3/2, plus more pleasing aesthetically when mirrored with High Templar's .
Interesting: The number of colored mana in the mana cost roughly correlates with the vespene gas a unit needs. More colored mana = higher gas requirement.
