Hmm. Originally, I was going for some sort of adaptive instant, but I got a little tired and thought of this "You can have your artifacts, but you can't use them" variant. I think I accidently designed a card for use in Vintage/Legacy only. Oh well.
RAAARR!!! I'm having a bit too much fun making these. :D
I didn't actually mean that this should go in Innistrad, just the other types I mentioned. This feels more like Azorius or something.
Heh. I may have to steal aspects of this design for a future set.
As you can see, I'm a bit confused as to how I want to present Adapt. This version is clearer, and easier to remember, but takes up more words, and looks clunkier to me.
Heh. When I look at Innistrad, I sometimes think to myself "Fixed Homelands". This sends it more down that direction, but I'm cool with that. I like Homelands, and I like that they fixed it.
Oof. Suspend. I could just imagine someone going "Turn 1 suspend, Turn 2 Suspend, Turn 3 Suspend, Turn 4 MOAB. Game two?" Alternatively, this, fast mana and a card like Rebuild can go very far.
But, yeah, I can see how this could be considered fair, if shenanigans didn't exist and weenie couldn't take advantage of it. I think Obliterate points to the card costing 6 or 7, though. For comparison, Wizards considers Upheaval's casting cost to have been too cheap, and a mistake.
Hmm... lose the game? Perhaps it's more like "If a creature with flying would attack you, sacrifice ~. The attacking creature gains "
: This creature gains a keyword ability of its controller's choice." Players may continue playing the game, but nobody wins."
For Challenge # 036.
LOL. Nice design.
And yeah, bureaucrats, etc would be nice in Innistrad. I think it's reasonable to have Paladin as Knight, I think they reasonably represent a subset, but I think "bureaucrat" is more memorable than "advisor". And there should probably be a separate "scholar" type somehow.
I made Insufferable Bureaucracy. Does anyone else feel like Inquisitors, Paladins, and Crusaders would have fit perfectly on Innistrad? And that Gwafa Hazid, Profiteer should have been a merchant?
For Challenge # 036.
Ah! Yes, that's very similar, I'd not seen it before.
And yeah, I'd forgotten control magic was cheaper than mind control. Wizards said that Mind Control is probably too good for uncommon (and presumably too simple for rare), which is what I was basing this on.
Oh yes, that is pretty scary. Although I don't know: if you play a 2/1 haste on turn 1, you may well get more than 4 damage out of it (which is pretty much the maximum you'll get from the new card).
It could be increased in size and cost to make a BIG dinosaur, but I guess I'm thinking of small fast dinosaurs. If this trades with a grizzly bears (notice, that's one raptor vs TWO bears :)) I think you'll still feel ahead :)
When I made Patronizing Embrace, ignoring that it's multicolor, I just decided that in a lot of ways Mind Control is actually still too strong. So even though these cards are often worse than a straight Control Magic, 4cc is still the most appropriate cost.
As long as you control a sheepdog, you control enchanted creature...
:)
Apart from blue not normally getting removal...this could probably be cheaper.
Yeah, I'm not positive of the cost. Blue removal tends to hover around 3CMC and not remove static abilities, and this is slightly better (the same thing with a free 1/1 and the possibility of chumping with it so it goes away permanently). But it feels strange than it's already nearly as expensive as mind control.
As long as you control a sheepdog, you control enchanted creature...
I do love the order of wording of these effects. It's control magic at clone cost! No, wait... it's, um.
Apart from blue not normally getting removal (and the fun of stealing an equipped or enchanted sheepanthrope) this could probably be cheaper.
This is scary aggro, but not as scary as the upcoming 4/3 for
It also suggests that the last dinosaurs were smaller and faster than bears. Which feels wrong.
:)
"Oh, I'm weenie and didn't win? Reset. Repeat until I do win."
I don't know; if this reset hands (to zero or seven), it would definitely favour the already-winning strategy, but if not, the player who's conserved cards best will often have the advantage?
Creature - Dinosaur?
You! Return my disk immediately!
The simpler, though not quite identical, wording might be "End the turn".
Six is probably a fair cost - it's not a game winner, it's a situational bomb. It should also never be printed again - because, well "Oh, I'm weenie and didn't win? Reset. Repeat until I do win."
I nearly wrote "At the beginning of your end step, if you control four or more lands, a giant comet crushes Last of the Dinosaurs" :)
Not sure, maybe the land limit should come down and remove the "attack if able" clause? Or maybe this is just too strong on turns 1 and 2 even if it's unplayable on turn 3?
MOAB
