WotC has said red looting can draw cards when it has no cards in hand, but for some reason doesn't print ANY cards like that. I'm going to fix that problem.

Sure

I think this is pretty weak if it only hits graveyards.

I made an ooze planeswalker, too! Narblegab, the Awakened.
The first ability is curiously limited for a Planeswalker, but I'm glad you've gone with the "Up to one" template seen on Ajani, Caller of the Pride. The second ability, as dude181 has said, is not green, but purely red. Garruk Relentless "fights" the creature he damages, which makes it "okay." Adding the exile clause only makes it seem more red, because green doesn't usually exile things.

Ashiok's 2nd ability refers to cards exiled by the 1st and 3rd abilities. The real criterion is that the ultimate goes at the end, and X X/X oozes is definitely the ultimate. The only issue I have us that the middle ability is completely red.

I see your point. Let's keep it as is.

I think they were named "Junk" tokens originally, I'd lol if we named them "Piece of Junk".

2013-09-17 14:30:20: Raptor1210_. commented on Tecksa Rend

I don't remember. I think we did drop it but I'm not sure.

2013-09-17 14:28:36: Alex commented on Steam Storm

I'm fine with a strictly-colourless Akroma's Vengeance. Red's had Apocalypse and Worldfire in the past. I definitely agree this should be a sorcery though.

2013-09-17 14:26:09: Raptor1210_. commented on Into the Woods

I agree it sounds better. Should we keep the Planeswalker part though? We already have at least two cards that deal with them, Protective Custody and Cast in Steel, but those are Sorcery speed PW removal, this one is Instant Speed.

2013-09-17 14:20:17: Raptor1210_. commented on Exponential Growth

Are we sure we want this as an Instant? It feels like it'd end games out of no where as is.

2013-09-17 14:18:08: Raptor1210_. commented on Taurox Scrapdiver

I'm not sure this need the third ability, the first two feel like enough.

2013-09-17 14:14:21: Raptor1210_. commented on Steam Storm

How do you feel when a red deck plays All Is Dust? because they're basically the same thing.

Also, I think this should be a sorcery.

2013-09-17 14:09:33: Raptor1210_. commented on Big Horn Thunderhoof

I think this should be changed to make them not be able to block instead of tapping them. Can't block feels more red than tapped.

I'm kind of sad we lost the Star Wars reference in the flavor text. :(

2013-09-17 13:56:34: Raptor1210_. commented on Cogbound Swarm

Wait this has trample? Ok it's fine as it is, Modular + Trample is going to be a beast in this set. (I think XD)

2013-09-17 13:55:32: Raptor1210_. commented on Cogbound Swarm

Yeah I can see that. Let's leave it for now and see what out testings show.

2013-09-17 13:49:43: Raptor1210_. commented on Taurox Gardener

I guess they could just be 1/1 saprolings. I liked the reference to Phytohydras though.

2013-09-17 13:45:35: Raptor1210_. commented on Sky Pirates

I like that there is now a corner case where Strength of Ages Past can just hose this card. Hooray for card interactions.

Sorry that was me. I forgot to sign in.

2013-09-17 13:29:14: Visitor commented on Contemplate

Catalog says that this card might be a little too strong. I like it but I'm not sure "Draw 3 discard 2" is balanced at {u} {u} ...

2013-09-17 13:09:03: Raptor1210_ commented on Scrapyard Looter

If we change it to " {t} , Discard a card: Draw a card." it'll look like a Spellslinger and that's not what we want. I'm fine with Red getting a little side benefit to being hellbent. Besides another one of our cards, Stack the Deck, makes this a " {t} : Draw a card." anyway.

2013-09-17 12:59:44: Raptor1210_ commented on Cast in Steel

It wouldn't be the first card in modern magic to be able to change an enchantment into an artifact, Liquid Metal Coating for example does something similar albeit temporary.

Considering Theros I think this isn't too bad.

2013-09-17 11:13:26: Teppich commented on Scrapyard Looter

The "Discard a card" should be part of the cost. THe way it stands you can tap this to simply draw a card when you have no cards in hand. Word it as seen on Rummaging Goblin.

2013-09-17 11:03:41: Teppich commented on Cast in Steel

We can't simple make it "Enchant creature." This way it would fall off the instant it hits the battlefield, as the permanent it enchants would not be a creature anymore. Putting the whole Animate Dead change of "Enchant Creature Card in a Graveyard" to "Enchant Creature" on it is too far from clear design.

Speaking from a flavour perspective, it's awkward for this to be able to target enchantments. Cast Agoraphobia in steel? Sounds like modern art ;) Maybe this issue is neglectable, as the design is far more pure the way it stands.

2013-09-17 07:54:58: Vitenka commented on Arbor-er Elf

A surprising upgrade on Ley Druid / Juniper Order Druid but I guess so.

2013-09-17 07:03:23: Raptor1210_. commented on Arbor-er Elf

I love that R&D just near-functionally printed this in Theros. Guess that means good design by us. :D

2013-09-17 07:01:34: Raptor1210_. commented on Emergency Ejector

I love the change from bounce to slow flicker (what's the name for that i can't remember. Sliding?) it gives it so much more flavor.

I can see it now...

Something horrible is about to happen to a device so the engineer pushes the button to eject it from its components. It's seen flying way up into the air on a jet of steam out of sight. The Engineer turns to a colleague and says nonchalantly "Don't worry it’ll come down eventually…" and then a few minutes later it falls to earth right next to them, glowing from reentry. “See I told you it’d come back…”
