    General Vakeztan - A Riptide Lap-Set

    Okay, first on our Khunda Tribes mechanic. I'm cool with not giving them a downside mechanic, though I'm pretty confident, that echo and cumulative upkeep polled so bad, because they have literally no reason to be on a card. What gives a creature these abilities, especially echo, flavorwise...

    I agree with most what you said Ondee, just super busy today. Will reply in full length tomorrow friends.

    Sorry for quadruple post, I'm in a developing rage. Here's another example of what could be a nice, flavorful upside with this mechanic's version:. https://mtgcardsmith.com/view/cards_ip/1539738445289258.png?t=651816

    Thinking about it, we should maybe consider setting the number for untamed independently from the P/T to some degree. I mean, humans also tame and domesticate animals stronger than them. And you don't have to threaten to kill an animal to tame it, just threatening pain is usually enough. Mean...

    Here, I also did a quick proxy to showcase. Considering how wordy this ability is still after all, I think we should settle on this to allow for attached upsides and other abilities.

    Okay, maybe let's fix the wedge-mechanic before going to the cards, I was a little too impatient. I'm on board with this, having ten more mono colored cards seems to bring more options anyway. Okay, first, I totally love the design of the veteran falconer, seems like a perfect fit and...

    Looks like I am ignoring you haha, stop posting seconds before me! How would you like this guy if we drop it to 4/3 or even 3/3 or 4/2? I would kinda like to keep the vigilance.

    Okay, how about that: Whenever ~ attacks, it deals P damage to you, unless it has a tame counter on it

    All these version feel flavorful, but kinda akward and wordy for gameplay. What if we focus the flavor more on being hard to control, rather than wild in an aggressive sense? We could just call it domesticating and use domestication counters? You ninja'd me again :p

    I thought about the counter problematic too and I really like your idea to solve it, Rowan. How about this wording: Hungry Hippo can't attack or block unless it has a tame counter on it. Tap any number of non-beast creatures with total power 3 or greater: put a tame counter on Hungry Hippo...

    That sounds on point to me. Do you like my taming mechanic as it is? I feel like it makes sense when the tame number is related to either power or toughness, not sure which one though

    General Vakeztan - A Riptide Lap-Set

    That Swarm Mechanic would fit perfectly into {U}{R}{G}, we would just need to find a new flavor fitting that. ANd for the initial idea of having them be alchemists, I think that would be much better fit for {G}{U}{B} anyway, so I would move that there. I also have a idea how to capture that...

    General Vakeztan - A Riptide Lap-Set

    Okay, another suggestion for {B}{G}{W}. This mechanic does not capture the flavour of an animal be mounted, but it shows the giant beasts you need to tame, so they folow your orders. It is a bit like crewing vehicles, but you have to do it only once, like turning a creature monstrous was in...

    General Vakeztan - A Riptide Lap-Set

    Great to get so much input! That scroll emchanic sound interesting, but I'm not sure I quite get it. Is it like a sorcery you can cast from exile? Also, I totally love swarm. We could make it the invaders faction actually, question is if it fits flavourfully? Also, I'm not dead set on mount...

    General Vakeztan - A Riptide Lap-Set

    No, critical is exactly what we need to make this awesome! And I agree totally with you that the draw mechanic (it's not sultai, it's Temur, color wise) is dangerous and probably bullcrap. Also, morph is probably not great as a wedge mechanic. Any ideas for {U}{R}{G} and {G}{U}{B}? I"m a bit...

    General Vakeztan - A Riptide Lap-Set

    An idea was growing in my mind: How cool would it be, to see, if I could create a deep, balanced limited environment - not with the cards wizards print, but completely out of nothing. It would be a hard task, but also a very fun one. Then another idea came to me: What I could need, was a team...

    Card/Deck Low Power Card Spotlight

    It's an incredibly hard to evaluate card. I will inform you as soon as I got some testing done :) Another question: I figured that Vampire Nighthawk would be too much of a stat monster for my cube and decided not to add it. What I wonder now is, is this guy here maybe okay because the lack of...

    Isn't there a better synergy card in Izzet colors? What about Desolated Lighthouse?

    Problem with all the sweet enchantments and artifacts is, that I have to keep the count up of instant and sorceries for the spells matter guys in red :)

    Thank's guys, I'm leaning towards Mizzix's Mastery. Seems like a nice recursion/finisher in one. Only problem, this would probably still flashback a kill spell of sorts in 9/10 cases, but eh ... :D
