When you consider the fact that the game is just a bit over a decade younger than I am, 5 years takes a shorter amount of time relative to my age than it does for you. Ha, I don't even have the relative time to get bored, joke's on you! :P ;)

Chimeric Idol is my fav, even though it might not be the better of the two cards.

To be fair, Hearthstone has less room for text, and has less need to be wordy because the computer will enforce correct interpretation of the rules. There's been plenty of cases where the Magic variant of a Hearthstone card would be clearer that the Hearthstone card actually is. For example...

Oh, that is nice. Responding to a trick with a removal spell can be devastating :) And yeah, the article is amazing. I love the Remand example as well.

Ah, that's good synergy, but it isn't a 2-for-1. As Mike Flores defines it here: "a two-for-one is any card advantage activity that trades one card for two cards." (Not that he's the authority on two-for-ones, but he uses a commonly accepted definition and explains it very well with lots of...

How does that 2-for-1 work?

It doesn't look like a particularly fun card to face as a black deck. "You're dead in four turns. Go!"

I run Dragonlord Atarka at the moment, which is cheaper, more splashable, and a huge, evasive threat, and has immediate impact. Wonder if I should swap, because those aren't necessarily always a positive.

I've played a white-shifted Mogg War Marshal in the past, and that card is a-w-e-s-o-m-e in white! If you're running customs, of course.

Or, "The first time you activate an ability each turn, it costs up to {2} less to activate." Stick it on a 1/1 for {W} with "{2}{W}, {T}: Tap target creature." and you've got yourself a nice little tapper. The "up to" wording is stolen from Training Grounds. Alternatively you could go with...

I'm guessing this was in a Magic 2014 draft.

Virtus's Maneuver is a clean two for one, but you still have to work for it to make the most of it. I quite like it in theory, as it's an edict that still has some value against token decks.

Cathar's Companion also is great with Wrath of Gods.

The worst case is Opt, an unexciting but playable card. The best case is more busted than the already broken beyond belief Ancestral Recall.

Me too! I still run it :) Great in the Wildfire deck as well :)

So, are you casting DD for X = 2 then? You're never casting it for X = 4, I presume, because I don't see how you're coming back from that huge card disadvantage.

I don't know, but that card looks highly suspect to me. I could never see myself pitching four cards to that, only to run out of steam.

I like it, but there is tension with black'slove for discarding your opponent's cards. "Covetousness" would be a good alternative name for this mechanic.

It does look like fun!
