yes except channel at least usually has a connection to another ability on the card
General Print this Wizards! (So I can put it in my cube)
- Thread starter Chris Taylor
- Start date
Yeah nerds on salvation used to bitch at me for not being true enough to channel's historical implementation so I made up my own with even more flavor! Like iconic monsters are more than just a body to me and I love having ways to suggest that. I also just like the idea of doing a common cycle of spell casters that all have a body and then like a special thing you can get them to do for contracts.
Oh guys I made a card you will h8
Startling Disappearance

Return target permanent to it's owners hand. Startling Disappearance deals 3 damage to that permanents controller.
i don't like a lot of your designs but that one seems kinda neat. I'd worry about target permanent vs. nonland permanent but it's yr cube! it doesn't feel as well-designed as Recoil but jesus what is
nevertheless it feels kinda blasé for a gold card, do you really need that selective of a boomerang? i took a look at yr cube but i dno't understand
(boomerang, that player rummages? too narrow, but a cool twist. boomerang, discard two draw two for UR(1)? versatile and cool, effects intersect, nevertheless kinda badfeels if yr oppolnent has cardws in hand

Why would I hate that? It's basically Blightning in another color
Because it is incredibly powerful! Like removing a blocker with this would be nuts or say bouncing a land when you are ahead good lord.
Hello there! I don't know why you dislike my design but I'm sure if you take some time and really think about them you'll come to love them as I do!
Guys wouldn't it be great if blaze cycled?

Well, yeah, but it's a 3-mana bounce spell, those are supposed to provide value, even more so if they're gold. See: Recoil.
Anything would be great if it cycled.
it feels, to me, like its objective power level outweighs any potential synergy or timing concerns the card might have. I like withdraw and other bounce cards but more than anything else the lack of subtlety on some of your designs irks me. It's certainly nto as bad, vis-a-vis comprehension, as ~95% of the custom cards i've seen but red adding 'deals 3 damage' doesn't feel nearly as synergistic as the black discard on Recoil. It feels tacked on, i guess, and at a cost that stops it from being run by non-UR decks. i am not very good at designing cards, and my earlier ideas were more or less so i didn't feel like i was just shitting all over you for daring to brew, but surely there's a cool UR1 boomerang variant out there and i don't think Boomerang to Smithereens is it.
e: VVV a solid argument. boomerang to smithereens is good and i am probably being unfairly harsh.
e2: coming back to this later, Lucre makes sweet cards and I was objectively wrong here. thanks all!

Actually, as uninspired as it may seem, I think Boomerang to Smithereen is excellent at what it does. It's two modes that pressure an opponent combined into one card. It's a tempo deck's dream card.
((Card that allows you to borrow a card from your opponent's sideboard, cuz they hate drafted it. Side Wish?))

@Living Lore: You should have been this!
Note: I'm unsure where the "Trample" should go.

Huh. You're right. I thought it would go below at least the "as ~ enters the battlefield" line, but apparently not!
Edit: Anyway, isnt it the sweetest?

Thinking of a black/white lifegain incentive card in the vein of Sanguine Bond but not complete shit.
Circle of Despair (this is the card I'm going to write over, mostly because it has the right casting cost and type)
When Circle of Despair enters the battlefield, gain one life.
Whenever you gain life, target opponent loses one life.
So, compared to bond it costs way less, requires white, you drain 1 immediately and only does one damage per lifegain without regard to the size of the lifegain. Seem reasonable?

Make it a bear!
BW, 2/2, lifegain deals 1? Seems fine to me

I don't really want a third BW bear. I already run (and like) Underworld Coinsmith and Tithe Drinker. On top of that, I'm thinking about Chief of the Edge. In particular, the lifegain deck also likes Pridemate, the deck is lousy with bears. It needs something harder to kill, like an enchant or a big assed black creature.

Yeah, the intent is a green kill spell that's maindeckable and not awful, so cycling would certainly go a long way.
Dragon punch probably fits that need better ish.
Destroying an artifact, enchantment or flyer is probably seething that exists but sounds like it would be actually great at 1G or 2G if it also cycled on top of that lol.
Yesterday when everyone was mad at me for being #sassyaboutsurrak I kept imagining a 3G 2/2 haste that entered the battlefield to naturalize but also tapped to grant haste.
Obviously I love that fight is getting more efficient, but I also love the idea of green utility removal that you can bet on having a creature target in most cube decks.
