When do you designate the creature?

I see mainstream magic has printed something somewhat like this with Amass cards like Dreadhorde Twins, that mount up a lot of bonuses from different cards on one creature.

Except that they sensibly focus on granting a +1/+1 counter as a one-off effect, so it doesn't rely on the creature sticking around, and it's the simplest possible version. I focused on a creature having a lot of abilities, not just "big" because that felt more like a superhero, but that probably wasn't very workable.

Ooh. No, actually, it's because I had to apply some back-end database fixes to this set when applying a migration for one of the recent site updates. This set had a few cards with duplicate codes - multiple cards with code UA02, UA03, and UR01. The codebase used to allow that, but now it doesn't, so it was stopping me saving my backend changes to these cards! So I had to de-duplicate the codes, but that was done via the database rather than the front end, so no logs were created. I need to be more careful about avoiding updating cards' timestamps when I do things like that :->

I'm guessing there was a more recent spam comment that was deleted, or something like that?

It's scary it's been two years since I edited this set. I loved the idea, but I don't think I was able to make a whole set out of it.

For some reason, this card is showing up on the Recent Updates page for me even though the last activity was 2 years ago...

:)

Yeah, that makes sense.

Indeed; I looked at the card today and thought "Hmm, a variant of Cone of Flame, fair enough"; then clicked and saw that 18 months ago I was clearly more influenced by Shadowmoor than I am now :)

Ah! Thanks for mentioning why you just happened to see this now (it doesn't matter, but I'm always curious :))

You're right, cone of flame is ever so similar, I wonder why I didn't notice that.

(FWIW, I'm not developing this set atm, but am very happy to receive suggestions :))

I know Alex's comments are over a year old, but this card just happened to pup up in Hajjâj Aspirant, and I couldn't help but find it funny that Alex compared this card to Incremental Blight, and not Cone of Flame. ;)

Ooh. Yes. This is probably printable, although indeed at uncommon. Reminiscent of Dumb Ass :)

2012-01-16 18:51:54: Jack V commented on Insidious temptations

I was thinking of removal spell variants and thought of this. It's strange that red gets a sort-of pacifism, but the "run the opposing creature under your big one" and "aah, random" are very red.

Oh yes, I'd forgotten the traffic jam of flying stats around this mana cost, thanks. I quite like the idea of an X/1 flier in black, but I'm not sure how to cost it.

2012-01-15 18:21:48: Alex commented on Nightglider

Bizarrely, three different colours get Jagwasp Swarm. That said, I wouldn't be entirely surprised to see this printed sometime before too long: recent sets gave white a 2/4 flyer for 3W, then a 2/4 non-flyer for the same cost.

Type "Rogue" seems perfect for this. In fact, this is perhaps one of the extremely few creatures of type Rogue that could also justifiably have type Rouge ;)

2012-01-15 16:43:59: Alex commented on Growth Ray

This is what Leeching Bite should have been. Swings two different combats a bit, but doesn't function as green removal of an X/1.

2012-01-15 16:43:17: Alex commented on Magic-Immune Brute

Fascinating!

2012-01-15 16:42:42: Alex commented on Shape Terrain

Intriguing. I like it a lot. On turns I'm fixing mana, I'm not wanting to be in combat, and it's a nicer late-game draw than Rampant Growth.

Is this a reference to how whenever a superhero gains new powers, they're incredible in the first "episode," but they then get a lot worse?

2012-01-15 12:37:26: Jack V commented on Wavering Allegience

I thought of this, costed it comparable to Curse of the Pierced Heart, and then looked for black equivalents and saw Soul Bleed. I considered alternatives to make a better card without being strictly better, but eventually decided the simplest execution was best, and given similar cards in other colours, black could have an efficient version of it some of the time.

I had a similar design in red before, but black gets more limited fliers. Though they have to have low P/T even by black standards.

2012-01-15 12:09:35: Jack V commented on Femme Fatal

I like the flavour. Green gets several 1G deathtouch 2/1 with a bonus, but I think black gets this.

Alas, I don't like using a somewhat sexist cliche, but I think I'm going to live with it.
