2012-03-09 06:07:26: jmgariepy commented on Grizzled Platypus

For Challenge # 032. Did you know that Platypus is one of the few venomous mammals? It's true! They inject an excruciatingly painful cocktail with a barb in its hind foot that has the potential to incapacitate humans through pain, and kills dingoes.
Also, did you know that Platypus close off their eyes, ears and nose when diving? The platypus bill has a delicate electrorecptor, so that when they dive, their bill tells them what is potential food from the electricity given off by moving muscles. These things are as crazy intricate as first edition Dungeons and Dragons monsters!

2012-03-09 05:16:58: jmgariepy commented on Otter's Stream

I'm tempted to simultaneously say "This card should have ': Add to your mana pool.'" and "City of Traitors and its ilk infer that this card may be too good." That's a weird contradiction in my head, so I'm just going to assume this is precariously balanced.
Also, I'm a fan of activating this on round one to play Coiling Oracle. :)

Really? 6cc for a 5/5 reach with a massive drawback? Normally, I wouldn't bother talking about cc v. p/t, but if you removed the drawback, this could sit in a file as a strong common.

Nothing too interesting, but I've got Capybara, Cane Toad, and Otter's Stream.

I don't think Wizards has done a card with otters yet. Nothing came up on the Gatherer when I searched for it.

2012-03-08 18:11:43: Jack V commented on Undertow Seal

Well, the islandwalk will almost never be used on your opponent's creatures anyway, since it'll only matter if you try to kill one of their creatures and fail, I think the intent is that you can use it to give your own 1/3s islandwalk. I'm not sure what combinations would fit the flavour best, though :)
2012-03-08 18:05:32: Alex commented on Undertow Seal

Well, it's just that nobody would ever bother activating it when the islandwalk could be relevant. In fact, it's more likely to be activated on the controller's own turn...
2012-03-08 16:19:38: Vitenka commented on Undertow Seal

Plausibly; though I don't see a massive problem with just using this as a fighter, from the flavour I gave it. Balancewise; no idea. Used that way it's a green assassin, but hey, it's beating up small creatures :)
2012-03-08 13:22:36: Camruth commented on Fire-bellied Toad

Ember Weaver
Also all three cards are named directly after real members of the frog/toad family.
2012-03-08 13:17:06: Alex commented on Undertow Seal

"Activate this ability only before combat"?
2012-03-08 13:15:23: Alex commented on Fire-bellied Toad

Nngg, I remember the card, just not its name.
2012-03-08 11:51:35: jmgariepy commented on Fire-bellied Toad

Well, I definitely know the set....
2012-03-08 10:49:54: Jack V commented on Fire-bellied Toad

I used it in my red/green deck, but I can't remember the name :)
2012-03-08 10:37:34: Camruth commented on Fire-bellied Toad

Yet another spider to frog reimagining, anyone know which spider though? without cheating and using Gatherer? lol

2012-03-08 05:27:11: jmgariepy commented on Lurking Seal

:) I think I would have gone for turning these cards into things like Seal of Doom. (No, seriously. Seal of DOOM). But I like this plan, too.
