Thanks guys!

I would like to get this idea to work to create moderate card advantage. Since the average number of black mana symbols in creature cards is 1, this should be ok since youd be trading an otherwise more powerful creature for 3, maybe 4 tokens at max.

Yes lol

I guess the question is: How often will this draw you, say, eight or more cards when you weren't going to win anyway?

I guess it makes "Token swarm then some specific finisher" decks work more reliably?

It sure as heck LOOKS powerful. It'd make quite a splash. But it'd clutter up hands quite often too. It feels like it ought to cost more. But I can see the arguments.

[shrugs shoulders] I don't know. It does do nothing if you have no tokens in play. Compare this to Keep Watch, which was rarely as good as people made it out to be.

That would be Wasteland. I assume Joz is going out of his way to avoid reprinting that card. I got to be honest... I think Wasteland is pretty destructive for any environment it's in. I'm cool with punishing players for playing too many non-basic lands, but punishing players for taking the time to optimize their deck seems uncool.

That said, the wording here is kind of clunky. Hmm... I've got a bunch of different ideas in my head, but I don't think any of them are 'solutions'.

Destroy target non basic land. It deserves it.

2013-03-15 10:48:11: Alex commented on Unstable Spires

Both of those would have the unfortunate side-effect of getting Drifting Meadow and Secluded Steppe. But those are possibly acceptable casualties given that there is a need for some solutions to Inkmoth Nexus, Kessig Wolf Run etc.

Yeah, this is pretty good actually. Not as good as Visara the Dreadful, but she is very epic. This is a nice variation on Mangara of Corondor's ability: more expensive, but fatter and easier to abuse (rather than having instant-speed untap effects you just need... other creatures.)

I like

Yeah as is this is definitely not common. maybe make it only create one token - one creature sacrificed, one zombie created and you could make it a 2/2 as by the time this hits the table vanilla 1/1s are just chump blockers.
I also like jmg's idea to make this sac non zombie creatures - makes sense.

2013-03-15 09:14:38: Camruth commented on Green Card Draw 1

Yeah in the right deck this would be ridiculous, any token deck would run this and splash green just for it. Change to cost to {2} {g} {g} to make splashing harder and more firmly cement this in green decks.

2013-03-15 09:13:08: Camruth commented on Unstable Spires

Would this wording work?
" {t} , Sacrifice Unstable spires: Destroy target land with a non mana ability."

2013-03-15 09:11:40: Camruth commented on Shadowpool

I assume this is a Rare?

Yeah, my first thought was that the mana cost and repeatable effect here both aren't really suitable for common.

It's somewhat reminiscent of Marrow-Gnawer, actually. Marrow-Gnawer crossed with Soldevi Adnate or Springjack Shepherd.

2013-03-01 06:52:17: jmgariepy commented on Common Token Producer (Black)

Well, for one thing, you don't need the 'X'. I get hung up on that all the time as well... but the card should operate fine if it said "Put a number of 1/1 black Zombie creature tokens into player equal to..."

Personally, I'd also get rid of the 'can't be sacrificed to itself' clause. It adds to the card's clunkiness, and doesn't really make the design better... just a little less powerful. That's something the mana cost can be altered to represent. I do understand, though, if the point of the card was that Liches don't sacrifice themselves. (Oh, btw, Liches in Magic have been Zombie Wizards so far. Didn't know if that was your own thing or if you just didn't know that.)

The non-token clause also doesn't need to be there, technically, since this card cares about mana cost, and your zombie tokens don't have one. Technically, if you wanted to do it a different way, you could also solve both problems by making the Lich a Zombie, and having this creature sacrifice a non-Zombie creature. Makes sense flavor-wise, too.

As a final aside, I feel compelled to mention that this probably isn't a common... especially since the activation happens at instant speed. A common version of this card would probably be an enter the battlefield trigger. You're more than welcome to disagree with me on that, however. :)

Must be a better way to word this?

Just an idea for a land to help get rid of utility lands, but leaves mana producing lands alone. But there is no way to word it otherwise.
