  Whoops. I spelled "Anachrophobia" wrong.

  Moved from mythic to rare. Depending on how other cards are allocated, I may move it back.

• 2011-07-21 18:19:17: dude1818 edited Abaddon, the Devourer:

  I made it into a Demon, but increased it's CMC to 6.

• 2011-07-21 18:08:44: dude1818 commented on Abaddon, the Devourer

  I'm sure I can think of something. As a Demon, though, it would be player costing 6 or more. Rune-Scarred Demon costs 7, and it gets played! Admittedly, it's a Demonic Tutor on a 6/6 flyer.

• 2011-07-21 17:53:48: Jack V commented on Abaddon, the Devourer

  Hm. Do you have some big demon that could do this when it deals combat damage to a player, or something? That would increase the scary factor, without making it cost 6+ (when it may rarely be played)?

• 2011-07-21 17:40:51: dude1818 commented on Abaddon, the Devourer

  What should I increase it to? like Wit's End, or the cheaper but blacker ?

• 2011-07-21 15:35:04: Alex commented on Abaddon, the Devourer

  Okay, point taken. Given all of which, I think this might be a bit cheap at 5 mana.

• 2011-07-21 15:30:28: Jack V commented on Abaddon, the Devourer

  Alex: Indeed its definitely possible some of the time (and meddling mage is similar), but then you at least need a separate card to look at their hand and know what to name, or to know from your own experience what bomb you're scared they have in their deck.

  Here you don't need to know what you're playing against, you can just wait till they look pleased with their draw, and then play this if they don't play it immediately. That's a subtle distinction -- probably it really doesn't matter much, I just had a feeling it was the sort of thing wizards might be careful of.

  Jack V: Remember that Cranial Extraction and Memoricide exist. They seem to be okay with letting you prohibit one particular card from the opponent.

• 2011-07-21 13:42:06: dude1818 edited Abaddon, the Devourer:

  from the graphic novel "The Forgotten"

  This seems a fair price for "discard your hand"; there are lots of discard 2-4 card discards, and if someone is sitting there on turn 5 with 7 cards in hand they're sort of asking for it.

  But I sort of suspected with Haunting Echoes that they were careful to let your opponent (probably) have already played the spells once, I suspect it may be too aggravating to be hit by this and locked out of the game entirely, if your deck depended on something specific, but I don't know.

  As for flavour -- surely there's some sort of devestating memory devouring thing in Doctor Who, although I can't remembr what?

• 2011-07-21 09:18:27: Alex commented on Abaddon, the Devourer

  Oo, it's Haunting Echoes for the hand rather than the graveyard. Note that this is currently significantly better than Wit's End, although that always did seem somewhat overcosted to me.

• 2011-07-21 03:04:09: dude1818 commented on Abaddon, the Devourer

  Flavor suggestions? Remember, it has to be from Doctor Who and spinoffs.

  Thumbs up

• 2011-07-19 15:30:17: Jack V commented on Sky Shark

  No, your dragon is awesome. It's making fun of everything else :)

• 2011-07-19 15:22:06: dude1818 commented on Sky Shark

  Stop making fun of my blue dragon! Seriously though, it reminds me of Tek's blue ability.

• 2011-07-19 14:02:08: Jack V commented on Sky Shark

  And, come to think of it, Pristine Angel "protection from everything except colourless Eldrazi" :)

  oops

  By the way, if you want to do a "bulk edit" to lots of cards at once (such as adding an image URL to them), you can use the "Import data" link to do that. If you only specify "name,image_url" on each line, then it'll just add the image URL to the card with the corresponding name. Might save you time in future.
