These are fun! I first picked Hangarback. I was tempted by Braids, and Braids did wheel so that put me in a direction. I took lands highly in pack 1 before deciding green looked open enough to go into. I was a little hesitant about Abyssal Persecutor early pack 2, but I think it worked out. I...

Angelic Renewal: "At the beginning of the next end step" doesn't mean anything on a permanent. Also "at end of turn" isn't a wording that has a meaning anymore. The correct wording would be "Return it to your hand at the beginning of the next end step" like on Cauldron Dance. (You don't actually...

If a permanent had awaken, under the current rules, you could still cast it for its awaken cost, it just wouldn't do anything. The relevant rules are in section 608, specifically 608.2-3. You only follow the instructions on a spell in 608.2c, which is part of resolving an instant or sorcery...

This looks fun to draft! A few card notes: Having the manlands not be lands when they're animated sounds like it could be confusing, and it randomly protects them from land destruction. Any reason you dropped the "still a land" clause? Awaken doesn't do anything on a permanent. The part of...

ColonelSanders, Church of Deceit is broken as printed. Targets are chosen before costs are paid, so the Church itself can be the target permanent you control, and the ability will still resolve. At a minimum, it should target nonland permanents. It's still really strong with any permanent you...

I would play Carrier Thrall. It has a relevant body up front, it makes a token for no extra cost, and it can situationally ramp you if necessary. I think that makes it perfectly good filler in any deck.

It's basically scry 2 at the cost of maybe having the land produce colorless for a turn or two (assuming it was supposed to shuffle your library after searching it). That's so much better than the Temples it's silly.

According to Tabak's SOI mechanics article, the back face will still have no mana cost, but it will have the CMC of the front side. So Incited Rabble would not contribute to your devotion to white, but it would have CMC 1.

So far: Avacyn Relentless Dead Asylum Visitor Falkenrath Gorger Diregraf Colossus (maybe) Thing in the Ice (test) Duskwatch Recruiter (maybe)

It's true that it's really hard to gauge power level on conspiracies. I could be off on any of those (except Atarka's). Another neat mechanic for them might be "Turn ~ face down: ...". That creates a single one-shot effect that you have control over.

I agree, probably a bad idea. Pretty strong. Probably worth about 4 face damage in the average case, which is really good in aggro. Might be too much, but worth trying. I actually play the hidden agendas in my singleton cube and they are still high picks, so guaranteeing hitting them makes me a...

With Conspiracy 2 coming up, I'm kicking around ideas for conspiracies. How good would this be? Room 641A Conspiracy Your opponents play with their hands revealed. I can certainly think of some recent games it would have swung, but it doesn't directly affect anything. Too good? Not worth a slot?

Other than that slight wrinkle that was apparently less intuitive that I thought, the card seems really simple. You sacrifice a creature, you get back a creature with lesser or equal CMC.

I'm curious, what was the problem with that? You can't get back the creature you sacrificed, but I feel like most people get that intuitively. I probably wouldn't play the card just because it's hard to get a card's worth of value out of the effect, but it seems simple enough. The most common...

I don't really consider correct templating optional, especially if the card does anything non-obvious (for example). I personally choose to not care much at all about grokability as long as the card is correctly templated and hopefully not too wordy. Of course, correct templating doesn't...

How creative.

I approve of this.

I think Nahiri's problem is that the ultimate doesn't necessarily do very much in RW. If the ultimate was near game-ending, then the opponent would have to attack her and she would do a good Gideon Jura impression. Instead, ticking Nahiri up isn't much of a threat.

I agree that ability words* are fine in general, but sometimes they are just wasted space. I don't think having the word tie together the cards with Ferocious or Constellation really accomplished anything, because they are such basic abilities. Ferocious was very clearly just there to fill a...

You of all people should know Graft doesn't work that way.
