Some more cards for your consideration. Another swarm card (that reuses old art because it's impossible to find appropriate fantasy art with multiple angels online that hasn't already been used on a Magic card), the avatar lifebond mechanic, and the resilience ability word. I'm just exploring...

Just rember it's the only mill card in the set. If you want to go for it, try to end up in either GU Merfolk or UB Pirates. UR is hard to make work, and WU is straight up unsupported. Both GU and UB like to attack (GU has a "grow your merfolk" theme, and UB has the raid mechanic, with lots of...

Probably triple Ixalan? Here's a good source: https://www.hipstersofthecoast.com/2017/10/drafting-ixalan-archetypes/ If you can make it work, Navigator's Ruin can absolutely wreck your opponent.

Aw :( There's exactly zero exclamation marks in my long-winded post. There's a lot of question marks though. I mean, I don't mind an open discussion, and questioning custom mechanics is great, but you weren't even reacting to my (and sigh's) arguments, nor did you discuss the underlying...

So, I see all the smilies in your post, but the tone of it is still putting me off a bit (though the edit certainly helps), so let me get this off my chest. First, I never claimed I came up with an original idea, I even stated I used an existing keyword (replicate) as direct inspiration...

Whelp, and I thought I was being a bit snarky :) Sorry Velrun, no hard feelings! The linked article (which is the same article I linked to) explains the value of packaging subsets of kicker into a new mechanic pretty well, the crux of it is quoted by sigh above.

Really, what is there to add? If you believe a mechanic isn't new because it can be worded as kicker or multikicker I really can't help you. But, I'll try anyway. Swarm, for one, should be a new mechanic so that people can talk about it. My intention was to design a mechanic that could see...

Everything is kicker! That does not mean everything should be kicker! I especially love all edited card images in that article, they really drive home the point that kicker is too broad a mechanic.

InfinityBlack14's thread made me design replicate for creatures. Looks rather promising! Good in go wide colors, gets (halfway) around counterspells, worse than army in a can cards with reanimator.

Hey, that's only a two hour drive. Almost close enough to drive for a night of gaming (except I hate driving back late)!

Heh, I was quoting Ravnic, not Safra, so forgive me for not getting that. If any of you is ever near Groningen, the Netherlands, we should totally organize a draft though :)

Nah man, I don't run a powered cube (though can you imagine this landing on turn one with the help of a Mox? o_O)

You. I like you!

I fourth that. Walking Ballista is fun! Hangarback used to be in my cube, but it's just a smidge overwhelming. If you want a growing artifact that doesn't turn into a ton of flyers when it dies, there's Chronomaton This card was a secret powerhouse in M13 limited, and it's actually a lot...

Oh, and how could I forget Scrolls? They recently popped up in the Lab again, and are basically to instants and sorceries what tokens are to creatures. Once again, I can't claim credit for the underlying idea, but I did come up with the keyword and workable Magic rules. So, if anyone has good...

Yes, actually! Chris designed a cool mechanic in his cube that lets the player fight with a creature, and I suggested he keyword it. Here's the post: The Dandy Cube (Chris Taylor's Cube).

Yeah, I'm now also contemplating it :)

Could you give an example of what you mean? What would you change about level up? Ninja edit: Also, I suspect the answer for me is going to be "no". I use cards as is. When I want effects in places where there isn't an existing card that quite fits, I use a custom. If a custom uses an existing...

Eh, can't help you then :P
