Now it's worse than Doomed Traveler in two ways :)

Compare to Wall of Swords. This is not a common.

For some reason I thought Attendant Knight was uncommon. Adjusting.
2015-08-04 12:52:24: Alex commented on Honored Missionary

Much more, but perhaps too much. See Attended Knight and Seller of Songbirds and Sandsteppe Outcast.

Oh, right, it turns into Duneblast. Duneblast is an absolute blowout, close to an instant-win button, but yes, I guess 6 mana plus an Angel requirement is probably okay.

It dooees, but red has a little precedent for that when it's doing everything, such as on Warp World. Or does Maro consider Warp World a pie break now? I thought it was still just about within red's pie.
2015-08-04 12:27:48: CasualR commented on Flammenwerfer

I agree with Lef here.

With that in mind, the name "Flammenwerfer" doesn't make sense on a prowess equipment.
2015-08-04 11:31:38: Charlie Grant commented on Call for Power

Prayer cantrip?, why not?
2015-08-04 11:31:22: Charlie Grant created the card Call for Power
2015-08-04 10:11:40: Charlie Grant commented on Faith's Call

I changed the card. I tend to disagree with Maro on the extent to which this needs to be a weakness. On expensive flashy cards where the card draw is not efficient, white has those cards even in recent times. Regardless, card changed.

Sorry, but White not being able to generate card advantage through drawing cards is white's largest and most important weakness. This cards is a break and can't exist in its current form. Making it G/W would solve the problem as you have stated.

Again, the card is designed with pray being something expensive, but I can alter it.
2015-08-04 09:36:18: Charlie Grant commented on Final Apocalypse

This is not meant to be a balance effect. It's a board wipe, but if you have the angel, you get to keep a guy.
2015-08-04 09:33:33: Lef commented on Joy of Discovery

2015-08-04 09:27:54: Alex commented on Faith's Call

I'm with Lef and caliburdeath on this one. I mean, as a white player I like it when white gets good synergistic card-draw spells like Mentor of the Meek and Kor Spiritdancer, but as a designer I know it's pie-breaking in a dangerous way.
2015-08-04 09:26:19: Alex commented on Final Apocalypse

I don't think so. See Divine Reckoning and Tragic Arrogance.
2015-08-04 09:25:22: Alex commented on Joy of Discovery

Yes, it does. Also at the moment this leaves everyone with no lands, which is pretty un-fun and distinctly non-"joyous".
2015-08-04 09:24:32: Alex commented on Smelting Tower

Whoa, 4 mana? That's eyepopping. But... I guess it's on a land so it's one less mana than it looks like... and it's not repeatable in a single turn like Krark-Clan Ironworks...

No, I think this is still unbalanced. Because of the prospect of dropping a random -cost artifact on turn 1, then using this to cast a 5-drop on turn 2.
2015-08-04 09:20:08: Alex commented on Honored Missionary

Looks cool, but not common. (I know rarities don't mean the same thing in a duel deck, but still.)
