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

We've mostly been treating it more in concept :P

My players have actually said that Thalia was Too Strong :P

oh poop. It's supposed to! :P

I mean that's REALLY close to the search half of reap and sow In limited I don't think that card should cost 4, but 2 mana and being colorless is probably a bit above the curve :P

Could do. If you can imprint any land it does kinda work like another fetchland in terms of fixing your colors (Since this and scalding tarn will get your tundra if you're UW) I don't have anything like mana confluence anymore, so there's not much of a way to "cheat" it and get a 5 color rock...

Good idea or bad idea? Elsewhere Lens {2} Artifact Imprint - When Elsewhere Lens enters the battlefield, you may search your library for a land card and exile it, then shuffle your library. {T}: Add to your mana pool one mana of any type the exiled land could produce. (Beware, all the below...

I think there's an old saying about leading a horse to water :P [/Bitter]

oh yeah my favorite raise dead spell, control deck blightning :P

I find it really interesting the difference in tank time between sensei's divining top and Mirri's Guile (That is to say, extreme vs Nonexistant) Maybe it's that guile goes straight from the ordering to your draw step, so it ends up being kinda a psudo-impulse in practice, or maybe it's that top...

You know, I had a green cantrip in my cube a while back that was choose one: Draw a land or draw a nonland, and I might not have given it enough credit. Still wordy AF though

Oh. That is a thing that exsists! So I guess black does get the short end of the stick eh?

Small problem. This card: works fine mechanically, but monstrosity doesn't really make sense on a creature so small before and after. So I thought to change it, but this card: Is an actual garbage fire. 1/1s don't contribute meaningfully to a board state on their own, and instead of...

I did say typically :P I wonder how much a blue sorcery that said "Draw 3 nonland cards" (Wording a la abundance) would cost.

Oh yeah we are in that thread aren't we :p I think a better boon to red based control would be an actual red sweeper that doesn't suck, rather than this lava axe maybe shatter bullshit. You ever try rolling earthquake? It's like anger of the gods/Blasphemous Act, but people can actually cast it.

It's a shame that basically all raise dead effects are usually costed worse than equivilent draw spells AND are typically worse (Can't cast em early, don't play well in multiples, does nothing when you're winning bar evoke creatures, etc) Eg: Morbid Plunder vs Divination Raise Dead vs Sleight...

I mean hey, take a look over your cubes and decide if individual cards are worth their weight in complexity. The bar is clearly going to be different from group to group, but some examples of what might be a problem candidate probably can't go amiss. Sometimes it's worth it: Mikaeus, the...

correction: < Flying is real, targeting is real :P though I suppose this explains sylvanas costing 5 during the beta

I mean I also did see an insane play where they chose each mode once: -Kill your grafted wargear -Destroy young pyromancer, Abbot of Keral Keep and two tokens -Kill a 2 loyalty Jace, the Mind Sculptor -Both my creatures survive (One Jeskai Sage because of prowess) That was one of those "Take...

I found that it was always subtly above curve. 4 mana firespout isn't insane, neither is smash to smithereens, rack and ruin + 2 to a player is a bit insane, and lava axe is the worst card in magic until it's not, but all those together makes for an insanely strong magic card. Plus snapcaster...
