  I think i see what you mean. Hmm, so not strictly better just generally good and useful. I'll have to work on it.

• 2011-01-04 14:35:25: DrugsForRobots commented on Pristine Powerstone

  Thanks for the wording. Also, is the wubrg activated ability too powerful, not powerful enough, or does it just not fit? Or does it need two activated abilities? Suggestions for what can make Pristine Powerstone feel mythic.

• 2011-01-04 14:13:24: Alex commented on Pristine Powerstone

  Heh. Sadly I don't think you can target an activation cost :3 I think this needs to be worded as "The next time an activated ability of target permanent (/card) is activated this turn, it costs rather than its normal cost", or something vaguely like that.

• 2011-01-04 14:12:03: DrugsForRobots commented on Dwarven Artillery

  Thanks everyone. I'll edit it as suggested.

  Nice idea, I'll use it.

• 2011-01-04 14:06:14: DrugsForRobots commented on Worn Powerstone

  Ramblings are welcome. Like you said lots of design space. :D

  Hmm. Points taken. I'll bump it to uncommon, and throw on the activation cost. :D

  Yeah, most equipment has some form of effect on combat from providing evasion, to pumping, to pinging, tapping, etc. These just don't really fit as equipment.

• 2011-01-04 09:03:48: Alex commented on Decontruction Shaman

  This doesn't really use the equipment-ness. It could just read ", , Tap an untapped creature you control:" Similarly with (((Alarm Bell))).

• 2011-01-04 09:02:36: Alex commented on Dwarven Artillery

  Nice. The , activation cost means it's not strictly better than Orcish Artillery. I'd keep it as "to you" rather than "to you or a creature you control", though. The latter is almost meaningless, because it can usually be activated at EOT when the damage is about to wear off, or just hit itself to no effect unless the opponent has a burn spell.

• 2011-01-04 08:59:55: Alex commented on Dwarven Musketeer

  Just as a data point, in the recent Second Great Designer Search, one of the multiple-choice questions was "Which of these effects might happen at common in a new set?" One of the options was a pinger (": ~ deals 1 damage to target"). It was not the correct answer.

  Wizards have been making a big push to simplify commons, and yes, this does make them hard to design.

• 2011-01-04 08:57:50: Alex commented on Renewed Powerstone

  Personally I'm not keen on having cards in the same set that are strictly better than each other, especially at different rarities. Knight of Cliffhaven felt odd to have Glory Seeker in the same set; these feel worse. It'd be much better to have their costs vary as well as their effects. This could still fit with your desired flavour: it makes sense that a non-worn Powerstone would take more mana to summon than a Worn Powerstone.

• 2011-01-04 08:54:02: Alex commented on Worn Powerstone

  Nice idea to expand an existing card into a cycle.

• 2011-01-04 05:52:55: Camruth commented on Decontruction Shaman

  If you want it as equipment it shouldn't be a scepter as they are traditionally activation artifacts. Deconstruction Orb maybe, Deconstruction Probe ???

• 2011-01-04 05:51:51: Camruth commented on Pristine Powerstone

  Maybe add ": Instead of paying the regular activation cost of target artifact, That cost is considered paid." as an extra ability ?? Seeing as it's a powerstone it should be able to power just about anything.

• 2011-01-04 05:48:09: Camruth commented on Dwarven Musketeer

  could probably keep it common if dropped to 1 damage, 2 damage is too strong for common would still need activation I'd think.

• 2011-01-04 05:45:44: Camruth commented on Dwarven Artillery

  looks better

• 2011-01-04 05:45:13: Camruth commented on Worn Powerstone

  Fair enough, disregard my ramblings then.

• 2011-01-04 05:11:16: DrugsForRobots commented on Decontruction Shaman

  Thanks for the complements.

  Since everyone seemed to like Shrapnel Launcher, I wondered if I could do a spell everyone knows and loves in the form of a reusable equipment. This could be considered a prototype. Any suggestions?

• 2011-01-04 04:28:57: DrugsForRobots commented on Pristine Powerstone

  Any suggestions? I still want it in the 'Powerstone' family, perhaps they all share similiar drawbacks or something. But I don't want a Mox or Lotus.
