my guess is because when Eldrazi cost 3 instead of billions (kozilek's predator being the exception), getting two mana from one land to use towards them is busted.

oh jeez lol... I even stopped to examine both cards like "is there a difference here?" and concluded that they were just rendered at different rarity. I keep posting before coffee and it continues to be a terrible idea every time. Well, in that case, 100% agree with your assessment. I can't...

I think my team is ready to become immense....

CT note that Kira gives the kira buff to your team and not just herself.

I like the "more fair Kira" idea of the design. I think it may be a little bit too pushed. Usually evolve guys start out with more awkward P/T for their costs if monocolored (Gyre Sage, Battering Krasis, Shambleshark but then again who cubes those cards?). I think I like this guy better as a...

That one has always been really simple to me. One of the cards has play to it, the other really doesn't. Until Tasigur starts shitting all over games in a Grave Titanlike fashion, he stays.

Yeah, sorta Undying Evil but it does a lot more things. It likes Threaten, it kills your dude without your opponent obliging you by attacking, it doesn't upgrade your dude, loses cool Persist synergies, but gains the ability to access the graveyard in a way that isn't busted. I guess what I've...

Yeah that's along the lines of the vibe I was going for. I don't want for it to be a reanimator spell, which is why I stipulated <= and not >. I thought a black flavored Cloudshift could be really interesting, and then when I was templating it, it both made more sense and seemed to play better...

What if we cost it at B?

I fall somewhere in between the Grillo and ahadabans camps on birds/elves. On the one hand, I agree they're incredibly disruptable. On the other, that disruption is interaction so I kinda feel like it's a good thing, and I do like playing with them. In particular I dig Hierarch and Deathrite...

This one is a lot of words when templated correctly, but I think it might be pretty sweet and have a surprising amount of play to it: Grave Mistake - 1B - Instant As an additional cost to cast Grave Mistake, sacrifice a creature. Return target creature card with converted mana cost less than...

Hmmm I see your point there Eric. I dislike both of the other cards you mentioned as well, so maybe I'm just coming at this from a different angle than some of you guys. Green midrange doesn't really seem to struggle in my playgroup. I don't see much green control, but that's more of an...

I feel like people like WoR because it's tricky and because nostalgia. Speaking as a scrub who started playing magic approximately two seconds ago, I find the design clunky (do I use dice to count down from five or up to five? is there a consensus?) and I dislike the degree to which the card...

Played some alpha test games with my buddy last night. Format was 1v1 "Team sealed" so 9 cube packs. We ended up only playing one deck against each other in a best of five. Lands were a set of abu duals and a set of shocks randomized throughout the 360. "Basic land box" lands were up to 4x of...

Posted. That was fun.

I've run into this problem a lot and I feel like I've got it basically solved. You explain that you're out of the constructed loop, you summarize the "pickup constructed problem" (bringing knives to gun fights) and then you ask him to let you play one of his decks. This shows interest in the...

Another cubeable RNN card. Probably busted? I also kinda wish it did the Sangrite Backlash thing instead.

I think they're treasures just like the ABU duals and suchlike that they crammed into boosters upside-down. These ones are foil shocks and fetches with a weird ugly frame instead.

Good points. But if the flavor issues were tended to I actually kinda think this is a sweet design, at least in theory.
