sigh now at . Any other comments?
Actually, it does. You must choose targets when you cast the spell, so you must target an artifact to cast this. Only the destruction is optional. Try "When you cast ~, you may destroy target artifact." Then it has a triggered ability whose resolution is independent of the spell's.
On second thought, making the spell require there to be artifact is the easiest way. My suggestion enters the realm of "because I can" card design. Market it this way: "artifact removal that also gets you a land", not "land searching that requires there to be an artifact to cast it."
corrected flavor text & no longer needs a target to cast
Artifact sets need artifact destruction - this gives you a land too? Sign me up.
I fear you're right, that too few people will see it that way, though.
I'd advise against adding this to any set. If it cost too much, people won't like it. If you cost it aggressively, people will throw it in their decks, excitedly, then realize that it won't go off unless there's an artifact in play. The net result?: A lot of frowning players.
Edit: Was that rude? I can't tell if that was rude. Sometimes I accidently put on my game reviewer hat, instead of my helpful designer hat. As a game reviewer, I'd drag you on the carpet for that decision. As a fellow fake Magic card designer, I'd call that fine, and possibly an intriguing choice. Weird, huh? Take what I say with a grain of salt... tomorrow, I'll be disagreeing with myself.
I think could work, since it's conditional. It shouldn't go lower, because of the card advantage it creates.
I think this could be fairly costed at or , since you need a target to cast it. Then again, this is an artifact set. Opinions?
I love the concept of spending gold as though it were life. It's very flavorful and (unfortunately) resonates a lot.
I don't know. I think that Goblin Sharpshooter is warping our opinion of the mechanic. Just because it was a 5 star card and also had a drawback, doesn't mean this card isn't fair. This card also has a drawback, by the way... you need to have a creature to equip it to.
I'm not saying that the cost to play or equip shouldn't go up... maybe it's too cheap. But if I was to compare this to Sword of Fire and Ice, say, I'd probably call this card too expensive...
Even Goblin Sharpshooter had its own innate drawback (namely, not untapping at the normal time).
There should definitely be some sort of cost to the tap ability.
Whoa. Thornbite Staff on steroids. Terrifying on a deathtoucher.
