I don't think it's necessarily the wrong side, more a different side :) Anyway, having sacrifice outlets in white feels stranger if they're just there, unkeyworded, than it would if it was thematically tied together by a keyword, though you can have some self-sacrificing cards in white. I do...

Marath, Will of the Wild has a surprising amount of play to it. It surprises me every time I play it. If you support a ramp deck that can get to nine mana, Zacama, Primal Calamity is the bee's knees. Awesome to play as well. Other than that there's really only Fiery Justice as efficient removal...

No, I don't like it that much, mainly because it's hard to trigger and/or control when you get the discount, also because it's a cost reduction mechanic, which is always hard to balance, and also also because it's a mechanic that discourages people from blocking in limited, and thus encourages...

I'm not sure what to tell you, I have seen it cast plenty of times with my mana base (including the trilands you get for picking a three-color card like Cruel Ultimatum).

Run a lot of fixers, push multicolor, support control, BAM TAKE 5 TO THE FACE, DISCARD 3 AND SAC A CREATURE! I'll do the inverse of that, 'mkay?

As for the individual cards, I have some suggestions for changes. Blessing of Shadows should use the new template ("~ deals 2 damage to you" instead of "you lose 2 life). Reviving Light is a silly name for a card that doesn't revive and actually gets stronger when you sacrifice a creature...

Cool! I was playing around with the same theme in my head yesterday, thinking the sacrifice would be a stretch in white, but flavorful for a certain type of religious society. The white cards will be the ones with ceremonial sacrifices, red is just the everyday practice of sacrifice as it seeps...

I want discard matters cards like in Amonkhet with both retrace and cycling in the set. Brood of the Ghumata {2}{g} Enchantment (U) Whenever you cycle or discard a card, create a green 1/1 Insect creature token. Trespasser's Punishment {2}{u} Enchantment (U) Whenever you cycle or discard a...

Ghumata Loamstalker {u}{b}{g} Creature - Elf Scout (U) ~ can't be blocked. Whenever ~ deals combat damage to an opponent, return up to one target land from your graveyard to your hand. 2/2 Reprint: Savage Conception Vilefern Toxin {2}{b} Sorcery (C) Retrace Target creature gets +2/+0 and gains...

Rampant Loam {2}{g} Sorcery Retrace Return a land card from your graveyard to the battlefield tapped.

The Chinri are a race of hyper-intelligent, man-size <enter predatory insect type that we can find a lot of anthropomorphic art for, and doesn't always have wings, because flying in green is problematic> that seek to enslave other intelligent races, both for food and for sport. Their society...

Yep, I did! Looks like a good fit mechanically in those colors as well :) Also, nice UR overlap with the equipment faction, as building multiple creatures is good with equipment!

No, I'm running Nicol Bolas, Planeswalker. God-Pharaoh is a bit too pushed for my tastes, I don't like that it's a mana cheaper either. The Deceiver is cool enough, but OG Bolas (edit: OG planeswalker, I mean) wins out because it has better utility and is available in nonfoil. The Ravager I like...

Motion to include white card advantage in the set! Veteran Steelshaper {2}{w} Creature - Human Soldier (U) When Veteran Steelshaper enters the battlefield, you may search your library for an equipment card, reveal that card, and put it into your hand. If you do, shuffle your library. 2/2 More...

No, I didn't mean run all three Bolas's (there's five by the way), I meant run the Bolas of your choice plus Cruel Ultimatum plus Kess :)

Ok, I'm on board with this theme. Some exciting designs. The legendary is super cool, would it be too OP to change it to "equipped creatures you control are indestructible"? I think a lot of the numbers are off. * +0/+2 seems too much for the common. * Heated Blade costs a whopping 6 mana for...

Cruel Ultimatum Kess, Dissident Mage Run all three (I prefer the original Bolas, but ymmv).

Use three color decks in this case, I would say ;)

We've got 3 different token mechanics so far. I think we need to make some choices. Scrolls (instant and sorcery tokens/emblems) Swarm (token copies of creatures) Mobilize (equipment tokens) NB1: Amonkhet had 26 tokens! We know we can print a set with a lot of different tokens and still make...

I think it's easier to balance around the stats not changing. Making your card worse by taming it sounds like an awful play experience, so I wouldn't touch the -1/-1 counter with a 10 foot pole. Making it better could be a suitable reward, but, again, hard to balance. Like, that Fledgling...
