Recent updates to Sweet Tales of Bredoria: (Generated at 2024-05-18 21:01:51)
Made Cohcoh white and black in addition to red to synergize with the upcoming blaze abilities, making it a flexible commander. Also made the Food side of the card colorless.
Added Activate only as a sorcery to Cohcoh's Lava Cake's transform ability.
Changed the card's color from red to white, as it is more appropriate with its food creation. Also changed the creature type from Goblin to Bredorian, and changed the card's name from Cohcoh's Apprentice to Baking Aspirant.
The Oven-Baked ability is now gone, instead, here's Blaze: Dealing combat damage to opponents triggers various effects. Blaze will be a Mardu-colored ability.
Indeed, the Oven-Baked ability used to work differently before, so I didn't see the errors yet.
However, I will remove the Oven-Baked ablility entirely due to it breaking the colors' rulings 'n stuff. I saw Oven-Baked as a Boros/Jeskai kinda ability, but I have to change it so that Red doesn't have Food-related abilities anymore. Oven-Baked also works only specifically in a Chef tribal deck, and I want to keep things a bit broader than that.
I'll post an update on the abilities soon, though many cards will remain with the old text for a bit while I update all 250 of them (oh gawd).
Removed the Haste keyword, which did make it a tad OP, and changed its power from 4 to 3, since otherwise it would deal 8 damage total. (also OP.) Furthermore, adjusted the wording to avoid glitches and to read a bit easier.
The timing on this ability is a little awkward, though I'm sure people will get it. Say you cast Catbread and pay for Oven-Baked; they're not on the field yet and cannot receive counters. Maybe "~ enters with a lifelink counter" instead of "Put a lifelink counter on ~"?
Neat, it gets a bunch of abilities until it eventually gets indestructible. That's a lot of counters until you start getting indestructible, and it can end up with multiple redundant indestructible counters after a while on the field.
I like the premise here! It's a bit awkward that it doesn't have the usual food activated ability.
Beware! "Food" is not a creature type, it's a type of artifact. So you can't name "Food" here. Otherwise, works.
Thanks for your comment, mr. RatLantern! I'm glad you like the little jellyfish.
I had to do a lot of research for this one, and eventually I found a card named Spellskite, which was basically what I wanted this card to be. Only, I wanted Jellybell Bait to be slightly worse as it has just its ETB effect.
According to Spellskite, you don't need to specify it as a single target: "If the spell or ability has multiple instances of the word "target," you choose which one target you're changing to Spellskite as Spellskite's ability resolves. If a spell or ability has multiple targets but doesn't use the word "target" multiple times, such as the ability of Deepglow Skate, you can only change one of the targets to Spellskite."
So I guess the card's fine ¯_(ツ)_/¯
"You may take a bite" is a very elegant and excellent line of text to read, and the ability parses well!
This seems like a fun way to fight interaction, although maybe a pinch of tweaking on the wording? Bolt Bend says "Change the target of target spell or ability with a single target"; as-is this might not parse if a spell has multiple targets.
It can also steal auras trying to enchant a creature, which is hilarious. I almost wanna say, maybe you have to require the thing you change the target of to be targeting something you control, but maybe it's fine for this to do that kind of trickery.
Balance wise, this feels really pushed! The closest to this in terms of keywords is Slicer, Hired Muscle, who comes in as a 3/4 with double strike and haste. This gives your whole board double strike, which is quite an upside!
This effect can be compared to Blade Historian (4 mana) and Berserker's Onslaught (5 mana). Perhaps either trimming Haste, or the statline, could be points to balance with.
The conditional backside to flip back in similarly feels pretty strong compared to its peer. It's indestructible; although the other gods doing something similar are lands which are pretty hard to hit; and you don't need to spend mana in order to flip it over.
Whoa, this is a beating! I like the harmony between asking the player to have lots of creatures (for lots of little triggers), working well enough with big creatures (double strike!), and then coming back when you go wide and add melt counters.
Possible glitch: Consider the possibility that Cohcoh's Lava Cake is on the field, and you hit someone with six creatures. Dual Face Cards can only flip from an ability if they haven't already, but Cohcoh, All-Melting might end up with melt counters on it. They won't do anything, until you flip back over and the counters help you transform faster. Funny problem, no idea how to adjust.
Really amused by a god having a "Lava Cake", the flavor there is excellent.
