Then again, red isn't necessarily tricky (and thus unpredictable), it's passionate and impulsive. I think Wizards is actually doing a pretty fine job in that regard nowadays, with haste, discard then draw, Threaten effects, coin flips and random effects all being part of red's color pie...

I think this ability fits in green and, to a lesser extent, in blue as well, where it can be flavored more as preparation instead of reflexes. Thanks for sparking this idea by the way, I like designing cards :)

People nowadays aren't used to 4-mana creatures that aren't doing OP stuff right now anymore is all ;) seriously though, each time the Reaver connects, you get a 3-ish-mana effect for free and the body itself is on curve, you also get a good tribe thrown in for free. Problem is it's up against...

I already did ;)

I wanted to test this tonight with a friend who came over, but instead we ended up doing a winston draft and I ended up with the sweetest limited deck I had shuffled up in ages. Good times :)

Haha, pretty much this! :)

Ok, not a regular draft, but I owned with this winston draft concoction tonight. Ones 1 Brainstorm Twos 1 Blood Artist 1 Ludevic's Test Subject 1 Scavenging Ooze 1 Wall of Roots 1 Chainer's Edict 1 Counterspell 1 Remand Threes 1 Courser of Kruphix 1 Toxic Deluge 1 Vendilion Clique Fours...

Uh... yeah, that was supposed to be creature :) It is a bit different indeed, less of an immediate trap. Those are hard to cost though, and less flexible. Unless... What about this (wall of text upcoming!)? Snarebolt Trapper {1}{R}{R} Creature - Human Shaman Ambush creature (Whenever an...

I hate both of those games with a passion and refuse to play them ever again. There's plenty of better games that use a similar system but where no one has to sit on the sidelines for half an hour after being killed in the first round*. I can highly recommend Wooolf!! and The Resistance instead...

Exactly! Stupid Gideon! He's way too powerful and distorting the metagame!

Or, instead of a deck and a hand, you share a central deck. Replace the draw step with the following action: "You may put a basic land of your choice onto the battlefield." Provide a pile of basics to the side for this. At all times there are six cards turned open in the middle (like with...

Maybe with a rotating row of cards that both players may draw from instead of drawing a card in their draw step?

It's not going to get better than that pun CML, you can stop bugging him over that card now :P

Devour cards work as well. And these: Siege-Gang Commander Greater gargadon

Hissing Iguanar was always decent in limited, and it's not like red's 3-drops are uncontested anyways, so have at it I would say. I think you need more token producers and sac outlets though. Problem is, some of the better ones come at 4 mana, and that spot is already full of very good options...

You m You must make nice proxies!

Yup, those are a already in my cube and not going anywhere. I figured that, if I go through the trouble of making fake cards I might as well make up stuff. Adding basic land types to the fastlands nicely adheres to the current philosophy that nonbasics (apart from being nonbasic) should never be...

Last Friday someone managed to cast Nicol Bolas, Planeswalker off Shelldock Isle twice during the evening. That stuff is epic :)

I find it hard to make an ability word out of this that can also point to a card type. Maybe "intuit"? Something like this? Spellfeed Gravelspitter {1}{R}{R} Creature - Beast First strike Intuit instant - Whenever Rockslide Charger attacks, if your opponent played an instant your last turn...

Nekrataal isn't coming out, since humans are a thing in junk colors. Desecration Demon is an awesome subgame in itself, I like that card. I guess if something has to come out it'll have to be him. When I or my players get bored of the demon I'll know what to reach for ;)
