General Custom Cards: The Lab

[safra]

How is this power-wise? It doesn't probablt need flash for power, but the top of library thing doesn't make much sense without flash, and it's not worth discarding a land(sometimes) unless it TOL instead of hand.

It is very strong, like a Reflector Mage that's also a Reanimator enabler

Does dig actually do what we want it to?

Delve Flashback works, yes

Cooooool.
Is undying mimic too good if we let it copy a card in a graveyard as well, a la body double?
I think that lets it A) copy the same creature twice, and B) Survive as more than a 1/1 post wrath

idk, worth a shot. Would be cool. Giving it its own P/T would make it much better post-wrath, too.

What else can this spell do?
White Spell W
{effect}
Flashback-tap an untapped creature you control.

 

[Chris Taylor]

Make a 1/1 Spirit? (Might wanna tap another, or tap a nontoken, or tap 2, or something)
Tap target creature?

 

[Suicufnoc]

Edit:
now it can copy tokens

 

[psly4mne]

Suicufnoc, that is amazing and I must steal it.

Feels fine.

While Noxious Tutor is probably broken, it may still have to be an instant to not suck.

[anotak]

that makes sense though, it's phyrexian mana

Oh, for sure, but seeing that Noxious Tutor even reuses cropped art from Noxious Revival, it's clear to see how the name came to be. I agree that mechanically there's nothing noxious about it, though it does require paying black mana...

 

[psly4mne]

If either one is broken, it's Grimgrin's Analysis. I think Grimgrin's would be one of the best few draw spells in the game. Instant speed and the flexibility of splitting up the cost are big advantages, and the baseline of Foresee is almost good. Paying for the scry first is really good, because you can use it to dig deep for a wrath/bomb in the early game and then flash it back later for the raw card advantage when that's what you need in the late game. I might rank it below the delve draw depending on my deck, but it would be close. Still probably reasonable for a multicolor cube card, but it's going to be a very high pick.

Noxious Tutor is fine. At least, I'd consider it significantly worse than Vampiric Tutor if you're already in BG.

 

[Suicufnoc]

I need to slow down

Who had that affinity for creatures card?

Also:
Kicker - Sacrifice an artifact.

 

[Onderzeeboot]

Who had that affinity for creatures card?

The 3/3 affinity for creatures for that does Predator's Strike when it enters the battlefield is in my cube

 

[Suicufnoc]

Continuing the cycle...

And yes, I realize the triggered ability is totally nuts on this card.

Edit: should be enchantment creature, for reasons. Or artifact creature, so it can die to even more removal, and cause its blue. Also somebody find good art.

 

[Suicufnoc]

Trying to come up with artifact pay off cards that are playable without artifacts, but not increedddibly broken with them.

 

[Chris Taylor]

straight 3 mana 3/3 flier might not be the start for a card like tinkerbot

 

[safra]

Shrapnel Storm seems OP with Hangarback but otherwise cool and fun

 

[Suicufnoc]

straight 3 mana 3/3 flier might not be the start for a card like tinkerbot

So ideally, the base stats should make the card playable in an aggressive blue deck with 0 artifacts, but the bonus should not make the card broken. Maybe it should be a 3/1 or something.
