Re: Jeskai and Naya Commanders

Keep in mind Tong doubling ability checks ALL cards cast from exile, not just from rebound effects. I addition, Tong effectively tripples 2cc spells you cast. He is very powerful as is and offers more choices than first appears.

Kunokar might be better if your creature has to survive.

Re: Wish Mechanic - Disney set

So what you're saying is something like...

To Rule on High 1R
Sorcery (U)
You become the Monarch.
Wish 3 - 2R (2R, Discard this card: Look at the top 3 cards of your library and exile one. You may play that card this turn. Wish only as a sorcery.)

Re: Wish Mechanic - Disney set

Yeah this was my first idea for the wish mechanic. The problem being that transmute is a 9 on the storm scale simply from a development standpoint, and I don't think this version fixes all of those issues. That said, it's challenging to design a mechanic around wishes when the term "wish" ...

Re: Icarii Randos - Fun Effects!

Dragonlord's Prerogative is an instant though, and that's a huge upside (plus mono color). Allure of the Unknown digs 6 cards deep for 5cc with downside. This digs 5 cards deep for 6cc with potential (random) upside. Costing it more would make it unplayable. As a 6cc spell it probably wouldn't make...

Re: Theros God Pairs

I expected two two-color Gods with an overlapping color, probably one ally-colored one enemy-colored, some kind of compromise to get in all the gold Gods into less slots. The overlap might at least suggest somewhat why the pair is associated similar to Bond of Flourishing etc. Ah, but if you overla...

Re: Theros God Pairs

Oh yes, I did consider that for Purphoros and Ephara. Thats why is starts a 5 mana AND it trades doing damage to "each" opponent to one time to any target. That may still be too good and maybe jsut making 1 damage would be fine, but there was some thought there.

Icarii - Downside mechanics are never fun, so I don't really like Diffusion.

Way overpowered, it's a strictly better Furious Reprisal AND a Precision Bolt AND an effect on par with Wrap in Flames , trading cowardice for any targets. Arc Lightning is the right power level. If by WAY overpowered, you mean it should cost 1 more, I can agree with that. Though our definition of ...
