  Huh, I'd completely forgotten this. I still like most of the ideas more than I'd expected to, although I've not tested how they'll play.

  Mana costs need a lot of moving around

  Ah yes, I forgot Goryo's Vengeance. I agree with the cost comments.

  I'm guessing exile is a safety precaution against an infinite loop of a biggish creature that recurs an instant. I think it would usually be prudent but I'm designing a specific precon deck so I think I won't bother, I'll have the simpler version.

  Returning the creature the turn it died makes sense, but I don't really like it as usually creatures die during combat in which case it's useful.

  Simplified Goryo's Vengeance. I don't see a problem with removing the Legendary rider and Splice onto Arcane at the same time. The Vengeance seems to infer that this could cost ? Don't need to, though. Three mana seems fine. Is the exile part important?

  "Return target creature that shares a name with a creature that died this turn from the graveyard to the battlefield. It gains Haste." ?

• 2017-11-03 15:35:47: Jack V created and commented on the card Not Quite Dead

  I was originally thinking something like regenerate, but I realised this could fit better.

  It's almost never printed, I guess to avoid reanimation shenanigans. Or did I just screw up my search? But in a precon deck there won't be any Emrakuls to return.

  In many ways it would fit the flavour better if it only worked on a newly-dead creature. Maybe I should revert to regenerate. Except that ideally it wouldn't save it permanently? Something like, "Regenerate target creature. It gets +2/+0. Sacrifice it and the next-but-one end-step" but that's obviously v fiddly.

• 2017-11-02 17:28:01: Jack V created and commented on the card Taxonomical Study

  Hm. I like the concept, but is it too swingy if you get 0 or 3?

  Still making more G cards, but may switch out to another corporate/science colour, or add mana fixing (gold tokens would be appropriate) and make it multi color deck.

• 2017-11-02 14:14:12: Jack V created and commented on the card Nuke Them From Orbit

  Wait, I'm sure I created this card but I can't find it now. It's the one I was most excited to make :)

  Key points, I wasn't sure about the mechanic. I like damage more than wrath because it lets survivor and shuttles survive.

  Although "destroy all creatures without flying" would be an interesting way to do a RW card.

  Or maybe, "when this becomes blocked, it deals 1 damage to each blocking creature"?

• 2017-11-02 12:43:23: Jack V created the card Platoon Medic
• 2017-11-02 12:25:34: Jack V commented on Alien Nest

  Or maybe this should be an artifact -- the colour doesn't matter a lot for a precon deck.

• 2017-11-02 12:24:50: Jack V created and commented on the card Shaped charge

  Any way of not making this just a reprint?

• 2017-11-02 12:24:26: Jack V created and commented on the card Loyal Android

  Hm. Not sure if this combination works. IIRC the character survived, but also got ripped in half.
