Original Card: Koskun Falls
- Changed name from Koskun Falls to Brink of Koskun Falls
- Changed from Enchant World to Legendary Enchantment.
- Changed the upkeep cost from tapping a creature to sacrificing a creature.
- Changed bury to sacrifice.
- Changed from "...pays
for each..." to "When creatures attack you, lose 2 life"
- Added flavor text originally from Sursi Lore.
I'm not sure what the Wizards staff is citing here... probably the design notes for Homelands... Either way, I thought it was interesting and helped add value to an otherwise odd card.That said, the text ran too long and I needed to condense it. Ah well. This is the original.
In the cold waters of a deep lake near Sursi lie three menhir stones stacked to form a doorway. If one were to pass through that doorway when the Mist Moon were full and there were snow on the ground, then one would find oneself shortly thereafter in the Koskun Mountains.
So it turns out that Wizards gave themselves a backdoor in and out of Ulgrotha, if they ever wanted to use it. Interesting.
Koskun Falls is kind-of like a prototype for Propaganda. It isn't very black, though, so I made it more black by making it a kinda sorta double Hissing Miasma. I'm not a fan of making Homelands cards harder to maintain, but black really wants to sacrifice creatures. Tapping a creature is too middling to be a real drawback. It's possible that the card is overcosted now... but Hissing Miasma has close to 4 stars, and sacrificing a creature every turn isn't hard for some decks, so maybe not? At the very least, if you're racing your opponent, this can shut down the game.
Also, I needed to code this RB04X because there are too many black rares. All the other colors have rares that can be moved to uncommon, but black is just flush with Legends. Hmpf. Maybe I need to boot Veldrane and Irini out of black to make room? I guess I'll figure it out when all the cards are in the file.
The name makes this want badly to be a land. Also I agree with jm that this isn't black. Propaganda isn't even blue anymore, that's totally a white effect!
Yeah, the name being off did occur to me. Being Legendary fights that a little, but it isn't perfect. I've changed the names on other cards that fought type. Maybe 'Brink of Koskun Falls'? Does that change even make it more of an enchantment? Hmm.
