Funny how tricky the minutiae can be. I've been thinking of making this -0/-1 if it matters, Link. Still better than one damage, but it won't do anything if you got a Hill Giant and I got a Hill Giant and I want to attack.

-1/-1 is more powerful than 1 damage, though.

Nah. Nausea is just overcosted. Cf Electrickery.

2014-09-15 09:13:24: jmgariepy commented on Dry Spell

Could do that. Dealing damage is within black's color pie, even if it doesn't do it to often. But, it makes sense if I want to pull this card further away from Evaporate.

Causes an odd crossover problem with Nausea, as well. This is some weird territory. Festergloom and Nausea would infer this must cost {2} {b} , minimum. Infest and Drown in Sorrow would beg to differ. I know those guys are uncommons, but I don't think that means this can't be common. I know it means this is a likely candidate for uncommon, though...

Creatures get -1/-1, each player loses 1 life?

Festergloom suggests that's doable. Kinda good, though.

It's not very black though. What about -1/-1 and lose 1 life?

I wasn't sure what to do with this card at first. Logic tells me that Dry Spell could cost {b} ... it just doesn't. But {1} {b} still costs too much. I figure this is close to fair. Possibly an uncommon, though. I marked it in the skeleton.

Also, annoys me how close this sits to Evaporate (Homelands Restored version: Evaporate. I didn't really want to turn Evaporate into a one-sided Pyroclasm, but...

It's possible the card is too strong now. I don't know. I do know that whole thing about losing your army if you lose the Drudge Spell is a bummer, though. Not everything needs an escape clause, and most definitely not a spell that, if it's about to get that crazy, would still be worse than Mortal Combat.

If it proves too much, I'll just raise the casting cost. It's what Wizards should have done in the first place.

Didgeridoo will always be judged my the minotaurs that are out there, I guess. If there aren't enough high cost Minotuars, I could always make some vanilla Minos for the timeshifted sheet. Don't know how necessary that is, though.

I remember running Didgeridoo back in the day. I don't remember being impressed by the 'can't be countered' and 'effectively gains flash' lines hidden on the card. I don't think I even knew enough to know the card was doing that. I just knew it got my Anaba Bodyguards out for cheaper.

That's some pretty crazy for {1} . Could you imagine how much people would fall over themselves for a card that said:

Elfdidgeridoo
{g}
Enchantment
Elves you control can't be countered.
Elves in your hand have flash.

2014-09-13 08:05:33: jmgariepy commented on Daughter of Autumn

Ah. I forgot I did that to Autumn Willow. I remember why I did that, too. I had a hard time imagining that woman being any 'larger' than a 5/5. If I kept Autumn Willow's original cost, she'd probably be a 7/7 or an 8/8 for {4} {g} {g} . Is it just my imagination that that wouldn't look right? Or would it look fine, assuming no one really thought too hard about it?

As for swapping the art instead... I don't know... she does look younger, but maybe by 5 to 10 years. Daughter of Autumn just looks kind of frumpy.

2014-09-12 14:43:17: Alex commented on Daughter of Autumn

Given that the printed Autumn Willow is 6 mana and the printed Daughter of Autumn is 4 mana, I'd be somewhat surprised if the best thing to do is swap those costs over.

But then, their artwork looks like Autumn Willow is rather younger than her daughters, so... maybe it's just the names and abilities should be swapped?

2014-09-12 06:59:06: jmgariepy commented on Death Speakers

Not too many changes to this one; it was close to fine as it was. I bumped it into uncommon, though, since the need for a one cost creature with protection is kind of specialized.
