Also, ha, same! :D Sorry for the negativity, but I see this back and forth as critical during this phase. Nothing personal, but I'ld do a filibuster to prevent a drawback-only mechanics to make it into the list. It's important to note that I'm not against drawback-only designs! These designs do...

Sorry, but I completely disagree with the merits of a drawback only mechanic. There's a reason it polls bad! I firmly believe the way to go is to word it in a way that it can be upside. Note: My suggestion from above does *not* prevent you from designing some cards with a downside, if that...

Art link Bataar Did anyone of you ever read that article by Rosewater where he talked about how echo was disliked as a mechanic because it was all downside. Wait, I can do better, here's the article! It's actually an article about the legendary supertype, but here's the relevant part (when...

Vigilance is cool in that you can attack and then after combat can still tame a beast. I think if you want to keep all the abilities, you need to up the rarity or severely lower the toughness, which kinda suck as it then wouldn't be a good attacker anymore. If we're going to design a set by...

Haha :P This way might be even better: Wild ( As a sorcery, tap any number of non-wild creatures with total power greater than <cardname> to tame it. If you do, put a domestication counter on <cardname> and it loses wild.) At the beginning of your upkeep, if ~ is wild, it deals 2 damage to...

Sorry, but I really dislike the "can't attack", that does not communicate "wild beasts" at all. Maybe my version isn't enough of a drawback, in which case I strongly believe we should find something else altogether. Also, I personally really, really dislike stat walls (like Nullhide Ferox)...

By the way, this set is shaping up to be impossible to test on pc :')

Still think wild creatures should be attacking, not sitting back pacified. I really like your idea of needing greater power though, that means you can unify the reminder text for the ability because you don't need a parameter any more (or rather, can determine the parameter dynamically based on...

Not sure about the "can't attack or block" rider, but yeah, I like the idea. Should work kinda like monstrous. Let's see... The idea is these beasts are wild, right? How about... Wild -- <cardname> can't block and attacks each turn if able. Tame X (Tap any number of non-wild creatures with...

The Khunda tribes.

Yep, that's exactly it. Basically it's a way to create tokens for instants and sorceries, which naturally can't exist on the battlefield (because they're not permanents) or in your hand (because they're not actual cards). They sure can exist in the command zone though (see Planeswalker emblems)...

If done as above, mounted might be fun? Oh, and I just thought of something. Can't we use the scroll mechanic for either Jeskai or Temur? Jeskai probably fits best as a color combination that usually cares about spells. I even have a link to the MSE files somewhere... /me searches... There it...

If you're dead set on including mount, I believe it should work as a cross between licids and equipment, with maybe a touch of bestow. Or maybe you are right and they should work as reverse vehicles. Still not convinced that the play pattern of a whole shard of Nantuko Disciples is going to be a...

First thoughts (sorry for being brief and critical): embalm is cool, though eternalize has more room for shenanigans because the power and toughness changes your Sultai mechanic feels dangerous mount looks a bit boring and hard to balance, because it snowballs morph is cute but heavily...

None! :D Okay, so I don't support Bant, but I'ld probably try an aura-based deck now that those new commanders are out. Seems legit sweet. Also, Tamiyo, Field Researcher is one hell of an incentive to go three colors. Personally I think Rafiq of the Many is a bit too much of "oops, I won" to...

You have to dip into white for that if you want to stay at cmc 2... Bishop's Soldier Hidden Dragonslayer Seeker of the Way Sejiri Merfolk Tithe Drinker If you go to 3 there's a few options that are less annoying than Vampire Nighthawk. Baleful Ammit Blood Operative Liliana, Heretical...

I'ld rather change Hypothesizzle to damage any target, but that wouldn't be nearly as good a joke ;)

I have a "no utlity lands" rule in my cube, so I don't have to worry about land destruction.

I run a discard theme in Grixis. With most of the payoffs in {U/B}, and most of the enablers in {U/R}. Think... Faith of the Devoted Drake Haven Squee, Goblin Nabob With that in mind, which is the more interesting card in my cube? Prophetic Bolt vs. Hypothesizzle In other words, is it...
