Maybe the whole keyword should be dropped as this is the only card with savagery? Or one could try putting it only on 1-toughness creatures at common. That's something I'm experimenting with Oromë’s Ranger (old) which pretty much just has alternative provoke.
... but even with 1-toughness creatures it would still mean they would be similar to Mogg Fanatics which doesn't seem like a good idea in large quantities...
Whoa, this was me? What was I smoking? Um, yes, I completely agree. This would be easily first-pickable as an uncommon, and plenty good as a rare.
Also, Wind Drake is like the go-to example of a reliable limited card. It was even just reprinted in Kaladesh.
It's probably worth noting that while some of it has to do with blue having the "worst" creatures, some of it also has to do with just how good flying is in a limited environment. 'Can't be blocked, except by' does wonders for a ground stall.
I'm not saying that 2/3 for flyer is good or bad, because I don't know. I'm just saying I get why Nimbus of the Isles was made.
To make links to Gatherer searches (which include square brackets), use the syntax where you type [description][1] , and then on a separate line, go [1]: followed by the full URL. I fixed the link above for you.
Or just link to MagicCards.info ;)
Yeah, this is way too good at common IMO. It can pretty much nullify all opponent's 2-power creatures. That's insane. Potential for card advantage generation is HUGE.
This could easily be an uncommon. Would encourage to go for tribal in limited (like Diregraf Captain and pals in Innistrad).
Beyond having the legendary type these don't feel mythic at all. If you lowered the power level here a little, this could be a like, say uncommon. IMO at least Almor, Silum Mistcaster and Kaeg, Xikerite Tyrant also suffer from this same problem.
REPRINT: Grasp of Darkness.
What purpose does it really serve for this to cost instead of ? Why don't you just go full hybrid since hybrids charms haven't been done yet?
IMO this is too similar to Flameheart Viashino which is too similar to Hammer Rager. What's up with these 2 power s?
Why is this card here? There are 3 cards in the set that scry (2 of which require and the third which is a mythic planeswalker) and no other cards mentions the word "bottom".
In limited it seems like this would most likely end up doing absolutely nothing.
Also, why does it have hexproof?
Giant Scorpion?
REPRINT: Seething Song.
REPRINT: Titanic Growth.
I think either this or Hammer Rager needs to change. They're too similar at the moment IMO.
This is certainly more pushed than usually.
See this Gatherer search.
As that search shows, 2/3 blue flying creatures at common usually have some restriction on what they can block. Making a better Talon Trooper doesn't seem much, so I guess it could be just thrown out there. I think it has more to do to show people that has the "worst" creatures.
Was missing card type.
It also causes the card to be discarded rather than tucked.
But this is an uncommon, not a modern staple mythic that will be $70.
Hmm. So this is Coercion/Distress but as an instant, with the significant anti-cantrip rider. (The mode for using it on yourself is awful - worse than Reach through Mists in about three ways - so I'll ignore that.)
Reminds me of Vendilion Clique, which I think is a better way to do this. Staple this onto a 1/3 or 2/1 creature with flash.
Interesting. At three mana you can get pure forced discard of course; but this is also usable on yourself to... hmm, pay 1 or 2 cards, to draw a card and nothing else. Not exactly game breaking.
Suggest reducing the cost by one, to make it a tiny bit more desirable.
