This is actually a little weak for 2RRR. I'd change the cost to 4R, or a 5/4 for 3RR.
A 4/6 haste in common at 3R with no drawback? (Playing a second copy to remove the buff is a complete choice of yours.)
Way, way, way, way, way too strong.
The flavor is cool though. It actually gives me this idea:
A long as Spiteful Heir is legendary, it gets +2/+0 and attacks each turn if able.
The heir is seeing his chance to seize the throne. But if there's a competitor for the crown he plays it more carefully. A 4/4 for 3R is above the curve for red so the must-attack drawback is sensible.
You could also experiment with base stats of 3/3.
This is strictly better than Pyretic Ritual on two counts. You should restrict it back to producing only RR.
If you reduce the toughness to 1, I could see this as a common. I think I'd like it there more. It seems too strong for a red 1-drop as it currently is.
Interesting. I kinda like it.
I have a very similar card in a set of my own I'm making, so of course I approve. :)
This seems fine.
A damn rude card to go with Uprise. ...I like it!
Note it somewhat decreases the efficacy of your other land destruction spells.
Fun! It's bending a few rules, I think you can get away with it. :)
Flavorful. I like the infighting idea, but the 2-for-1 removal is a bit dangerous, like Mal said. I guess you can playtest it at this cost and see how it goes.
Why not make this trigger on attacking? Similar to Uprise.
Yes. Twice its power is nuts for a common. Try reducing the mana cost and just make it the regular power. That would probably cost as little as 1R and be an all-star common. 2R if you wanted to play it safe.
I love this card. A+ common.
"Players can't gain life" really isn't an effect for a Common.
I think the important thing you need to add is
"As an additional cost to cast Discord of Melkor, discard two cards."
Although that lets you choose the cards you discard, it also doesn't prevent you from just wiping the rest of the players' hands in Red without having lost some yourself.
This strikes me more as a color break than a color bend, but I guess it also compares to Wheel effects.
Holy moly. Instant-speed land destruction is an no-no.
Throwing it onto a Pyroclasm is just nuts.
Consider a version of
? That would also let you move this slot down to common if you need.
Menace AND haste? I love the card, but that's an uncommon if there ever was one.
Red doesn't get life loss, it gets damage.
Secondarily, the bounce-to-hand really isn't red. The only two cards in existence to do that were both printed in Planar Chaos -- whose gimmick was all about breaking the color pie.
You should just say "Target creature can't block. Dejection deals 2 damage to that creature's controller." I'd play the heck out of that. Or just turn this into a Mugging reskin.
That effect, and those stats, warrant a RRR in the cost. 4RRR.
I agree with what Mal said, although my first reaction was excitement, because I <3 red, and this is really good.
Probably too good for common. :(
I'd restrict to "other Rebel creatures". Buffing itself makes it too strong at Uncommon.
Tolkien's spiders & MtG have an interesting problem to resolve:
Tolkien spiders want to be black. But MtG spiders always have reach. And MtG monoblack cards don't get reach.
As a mythic in a custom set, I think you can get away with breaking the rule.
The most notable thing to me for gameplay is how it compares to Braids. You're not going to see people climbing must past 4 lands after this is out. And I'm not a fan of that.
Land destruction? Good. Land restriction? Bad.
I like this card. It forces them to have instant-speed removal. I'm not sure about the balance, but I like the effect. B seems like a good place to playtest it.
All-star uncommon here.
or restrict to "from hand or graveyard"*
Wew lad, that's a limited bomb if I ever saw one.
Love this card.
The "from anywhere" makes this way too good. Compare to Blood Artist, which shaped standard.
If you restrict to "from library" I like this card a lot. I also think you could also put it at Common if you remove the gain life ability. So you have some flexibility here.
Although it's a white ability, I don't see any honest reason this can't be black. Seems okay to me. Not sure on the cost. For a real set this would be too cheap, but it's probably fine within the set.
