Maybe a custom version that tutors for a card delayed. In this way you get what you want without going super low power.

However you would only play the heck out of that Spell Sink during Game2 and Game3. I feel like the power-gap between original spell and sleightly upgraded spell has to be smaller. A whole +1 card advantage is too much if you ask me. I am going to test a “comeback” card in each color and will...

Do you guys think the comeback mechanic should be limited to a single or few mono-colors or simply be allowed in any color-combinations?

Ondezeeboot I believe this is more the power level we’re looking for. Great designs.

That’s cool on paper but in reality it will be a card you always sideboard into your deck in game 2 or 3. No? I could be wrong. I guess if the card would be on par at first and could be upgraded for a sleightly better version later.. Say original creates two tokens and the upgraded creates three?

I have tried ante in tournament (3 matches) format and people still dislike it since it can potentially ruin their entire game plan.

Yes I have experience with that effect. Some like it and some don’t. Almost nobody cares when it’s just a few points of life but almost everyone hates it when it’s an evergrowing Hydra. Some say it does not feel fair to be on the receiving end of something that is stronger based on the...

Just wanted to show some designs that felt very close to the ones debated recently. As regard to finding lands outside the game, we've had this guy in the Fantasy Cube for some time. In our environment you draft the basic lands with the cards. As regard to Ancient Wurm that grows over the...

Oh and I still think it’s an interesting design. Something I have done before and I find it cool. It interesting, original, clean and one could even call it a great design. Someone should test it :P

I see. I guess it is elegant by your non-defined way and not elegant by my defined way.

What? Less cards? What are you talking about? My my definition shared by those who make the game has many requirements. Therefore a card cannot be elegant if it only succeeds on one account and fails on others. It was not an assumption since I did not assume it (hence the word.) I derived it...

I can’t presume to speak for Ondezeeboot but what we can derive from the debate is that for a card to be elegant the only requirements is ‘few words on the card’ which is as narrow as it gets. That’s what we normally call ‘clean’ because the card looks clean from all the words. My definition of...

I think if your argument for elegant is ‘It has less card text.’ then I believe it is a very narrow way of looking at a complex term. For a card to be elegant: 1. It must serve the right purpose (Set, format, game) 2. It must have a clear card text, brief and precice. 3. It must be very...

I do not think that is very fair. You put a card design up on the forum in order for it to be evaluate but then dislike the honest feedback. Was I suppose to do anything else? I do not think it is fair to call my view on elegance and design for narrow since all I did was call both of your...

Nope. None of your designs were elegant in my personal opinion. I never claimed the left side was elegant. However it is only my opinion and it is nothing personal! I believe I have answered the other questions already. It is always fine to test weird things but the common ground is this: It is...

I should have added “non-conditionally” since red can exile with damage. Not directly exile. My bad. —— We know what you mean. Mark Rosewater have had that debate with so many amateur designers throughout the years. I have seen this color pie break many times and it never looks good if you...

I feel like it is very much off color since Red never exiles creatures or planeswalkers.

I run Disk, Stone and Explosives. They all feel fine and on par.

Ups!

I have never been much for all these supplement products with 100 % reprinted because they rarely bring anything new to the table. Only discounted version of previously known cards. Sometimes a new artwork or two... ...However something new and quite exciting is about to happen with Masters 25...
