Nervous Gardener is pretty cool. Is it super strong? Nope! Is it happily a 2, a 3, or a 4 in a lower-powered format? Yep!

Velrun, that was non-literal use of language, used to bring up a previous, similar design for comparison. I dunno, a 2/4 flyer for 3 honestly seems pretty on rate to me, especially with vigilance and an ability that punishes your opponent for trying to swarm past your 4 toughness blocker...

Also, hey, we've gotten some examples of the new enchantment type (ignore that it looks a lot like Classes): That last one is... Case of the Medusa's Kiss - {B} Enchantment - Case When ~ enters the battlefield, destroy target creature that was dealt damage this turn. To solve - if three or...

This is a perfect example of a card that would theoretically be far simpler if they reused an old keyword: Sharp-Eyed Rookie - {1}{G} Creature - Human Detective Vigilance Evolve Whenever ~ evolves, investigate. 2/2 And yet they didn't, probably because then they'd need to put in the reminder...

I hope the funemployment doesn't last too long... ... Dumb cube idea (that I might actually pursue this time around — I briefly toyed with this idea a while back): a twingleton cube where some cards give you a copy of Myr Servitor instead of a second copy of that card (so the cube is basically...

Cavalcade of Calamity Impact Tremors Mechanized Warfare?

Not liking the post because this feels like cheating to try to get THE MOST PRESTIGIOUS REWARD EVER. The only thing that would change my mind is if we got a Siege Rhino response emote out of it... Siege Rhino

I really hope the Green sorcery that you can have any number of copies of is actually a cool build-around, kinda like Dragon's Approach.

I feel like Tectonic Reformation shenanigans belong in a different shell? Or, rather, we've got, like, four different semi-overlapping shells going on here. We've got (and I'm probably missing something): 1. Sacrifice lands to generate tons of mana. 2. Land reanimator (for lack of a better...

I think I'm going to go with my Simic and Selesnya mechanics:

Cube Miss Of The Year Last year was a pretty rough one, so I didn't actually get around to any real cubing. Might try to change that in the coming year.

I'm honestly not surprised — people like contests! Remember how well the "make a 360 with only 100 unique cards" contest went a few years ago.

I'll admit, the fun part of this contest is seeing what kind of things people think are balanced/fun designs. It's different for everyone!

Which also supports this dumb "archetype": Countryside Crusher

Planar Birth Mana Seism Nahiri's Lithoforming Elvish Reclaimer Natural Balance Knight of the Reliquary Ruination Rioter A few payoffs for dumping lands into the graveyard, some fun ways to bounce back from sacrificing your lands (OK, you could use Splendid Reclamation as your "these lands are...

The Tainted cycle bothers me, because I want there to be a mono-black member... but I think those are called "Swamps".

What about... Crumbling Vestige Guildless Commons?

Yeah... the original card is pretty bad, but I'd say that the Alchemy card should probably be a 0/4 for {1}{U}?

I mean, the minimum cost to do tricks with it would be {2}{U}{U} (evasive attacker → ninj in Moon-Circuit Hacker for the saboteur trigger → ninj in Moonsnare Specialist to bounce something), and that uses up a lot of mana that most Ninja-y decks I can think of would prefer to spend on...

Yeah, I'd just stick with Mistblade Shinobi Paying {2} more for +1/+1 is... yeah. I like the other two, though! Covert Technician is pretty cool in my opinion, but I don't think it really fits the CCC (though I'm eyeing the way it works with Epochrasite...)
