Maybe we can give it Desert Twister's casting cost and see how many people we can troll into an argument? :D
Heh, yes. All three of which are within green's pie :) Withstand Death + Lace with Moonglove + Prey Upon.
It's not that far from Deadly Allure, or Tower Above, really.
Both in Just Green? It's a stretch but I can see it. The card that just plain messes with the color pie, though? "Target creature you control gains deathtouch and is indestructible until end of turn. That creature fights another target creature."
I managed to refine that idea down to monogreen: Peculiar Savagery.
The discussion on Lemmingform made me realise there was potential for yet another card in the Peculiar Distortion family. I don't know: do you think Wizards might ever print a green card with both halves of this? As perhaps activated abilities on a green legend or something?
Yeah, it is actually pushing it quite a bit. I'm not convinced
or 
should get a 4/3 - that's probably at least as good as Dreg Mangler - and this is waayy more flexible than Woolly Thoctar. Base 1/1 would also be rather more grokkable. It's just a design that I found so delightful I thought it shouldn't just be relegated to a random comment on a random blog post :)
Agreed, though, really it should have started as a 1/1. Woolly Thoctar is already a 4.16 star card. A Woolly Thoctar where you made your own casting cost up for it on the fly would already be too good... never mind the other options.
This is so beautiful.
I like the idea of the cycle. Let's see. Something that you'd get for
, 
, 
or 
. A vanilla 3/2? Green gets a bit better than that (Centaur Courser), but it's still playable if unexciting in green decks. The rest of the options are fine - Scrapbasket, Goblin Roughrider. This might do better as 
, actually: Moriok Reaver, Goblin Deathraiders.
The
option could perhaps be a vigilant 2/2 or 2/3. Cf Steward of Valeron, Snapping Creeper, Steadfast Guard.
Having a bit more trouble with
.
Ah, right, right. I forgot to think of
. My bad.
@jmg: True. But OTOH
gets Leonin Skyhunter, most recently at common; and even gets better than that (Kor Aeronaut). Given the gold discount, I'm sure 
for a 2/2 flyer is reasonable. Note that Azorius First-Wing has another ability on top of flying.
@jack: Heh, true. I think actually there's another reason why Vassal Soul is so colour-intensive: it's because they didn't want the hybrid commons in RtR to be easily splashed, or to be very easy to play in decks with only one of their colours. Every hybrid common in RtR has two hybrid mana symbols, in stark contrast to the original Ravnica where every hybrid common only had one hybrid mana symbol.
So it may well be that in another set, with different development aims, Vassal Soul could have been
.
Well, there's only been one Azorius First-Wing as far as I can remember. It isn't like we've seen another 2/2 flyer for
, so I don't know if we can assume that's standard. That said, yes, this is cool. This must be cycle material while we're at it. 
seems like a fine alternative casting cost for Rakdos Shred-Freak.
LOL. That's awesome. It's pretty much the definition of a Melvin card: one which is awesome because of the neat way it fulfils the rules, in this case the colour pie and development rules :)
It's true that flexibility comes at a price: obviously you can't in general say that "grizzly bears is balanced, and shock is balanced, and doom blade is balanced, so a card I can play as EITHER grizzly bears OR doom blade OR shock is balanced" :)
OTOH, even if this is a bit better than vassal soul, it still seems reasonable.
Proposed by Ben in the same discussion thread as Flexible Bird, this is delightfully on-curve for each of its possible casting spots:
This was proposed by James Bartolotti on a discussion thread over at Goblin Artisans, and I love it. I love the way that all four possible prices are perfectly fair for their colours. (Cf Wind Drake, Wild Griffin, Azorius First-Wing, and Skinwing.)
Vassal Soul seems to show they prefer cards this flexible to be a bit harder to cast, boringly. But I like this version.
I don't think so, since Living Weapon triggers on entering the battlefield.
I suppose this would have to say "in all zones" or something. It's a cool card either way.
Cellar Door becomes a Lurking Informant that also makes Zombies.
ROFL. Yeah, I'm not sure what happens, but it's great fun working it out.
Tutors-to-the-top don't work.
Tutors-to-the-bottom are potentially awesome.
You can see the bottom card...?
A better use of the name than the Launch Party which Wizards released a couple of months after jmg made this.
Brain a'splode! I love it!
added a mana cost
