Exactly. They fix my biggest complaint about the mechanic.

This fan project is making me a little more interested in Venture as a mechanic.

@landofMordor To continue using "I love lands in my graveyard" as an example, I think the key part is that it asks you for something without telling you how to achieve it. It just says "get lands into your graveyard", and not, say, "discard land cards". That makes it harder to "miss" the...

I think "downside" mechanics like Hellbent also serve a very important teaching purpose. A lot of new players are, quite frankly, afraid of milling themselves/discarding cards/losing life. Giving them opportunities to do so and feel good about it helps address those fears. That's actually one...

I hate it so much because he could've just written it up like a normal person. But no. He had to lean on dumb stereotypes.

I just got around to reading Corey Bowen's article on designing the d20 cards in AFR, and I hate it. I hate it so much.

Faithless Looting and Life from the Loam are your friends.

Pyrewild Shaman I want this card to be good.

I think you probably could make RG into a pretty satisfying graveyard color, if you wanted to do something fancy with it? Both colors are good at stocking your graveyard, after all, and both colors can do fun things with the cards in your graveyard. Heck, there are some pretty nice Delirium (and...

I'm looking for some dragons at roughly the following power level: Rapacious Dragon Freejam Regent This is for my "everyone gets Revel in Riches for free" cube, so both of those dragons are a bit stronger than they normally are... but I'd still like some extra dragons, and Goldspan Dragon...

That's the thing, though — the Krushok doesn't have to be in a Madness deck. It could just be in a deck that wants to put two +1/+1 counters on something at instant speed for 1G.

I'm definitely leaning towards the Krushok, because having an extra built-in way to get it into your graveyard is pretty solid. Plus, if I'm an aggressive deck, I'd prefer to see a card I can pitch for two +1/+1 counters if I get mana-screwed.

Nah. Grazer drops a land when you play it — these (potentially) drop a(n untapped) land when they die, which is kinda like Steve if you squint. I actually can't think of any creatures that drop a land from your hand when they die, so there really isn't a clean, 121 comparison here. There's...

I'm disappointed that "madness" wasn't Conspiracy Theorist. ;)

It's only going to do nothing if you don't have a land in hand. Making a chump blocker that does a pretty decent Sakura-Tribe Elder impression when it dies seems kinda fun.

This is especially problematic since part of playing an RPG is trying to view the world through the lens of an inhabitant¹. So it ends up feeling really off thematically. ¹ Let's not get into different roleplaying stances here.

I think it would be more than playable. As Erik pointed out, Rampant Growth is an entirely playable card, and this swaps "grab a basic" for "grab a Forest". The thing that makes the design interesting, however, is that you can give villain a land to turn on Forestwalk. This isn't going to come...
