General [Thought Excercise] What does this break?

[sigh]

13/13 for 1 with Death.

Sadly, So Close only targets instants or sorceries

Actually the first illegal target so far on this thread, as far as I can tell.

This card you created Chris is utterly awesome. If it cantrip'd (and really existed), I'd probably run it. Blue 1's are in short supply, so it's the right CC to make it into my cube.

EDIT: cantrip would make it broken. How about cycle 2?

Sadly I'm not responsible for this amazing piece of work

There's a tumblr blog called "Why MTG Cardsmith?" which chronicles the wierdest/most broken/funniest cards produced by amateurs all over the internet: Link
I found it there.

New thought exercise:

Super Flash
Instant - (some cost)
As an additional cost to cast Super Flash, exile a card from your hand.
You may cast Super Flash between clauses of a resolving spell.
You may cast/play the exiled card.


I was thinking along the lines of flashing in Purphoros, God of the Forge in the middle of Tempt with Vengeance to trick your opponent into giving you triggers. But you wouldn't get the triggers from the first set of goblins so it's not as crazy as I wanted.

Who ever says yes to tempt with vengence?
