Re: If you could delete 1 card from MTG what would it be?
Right now I'm just kind of feeling uncharitable toward Lion's Eye Diamond . Not the MOST busted thing in the world, maybe, but it still has a LOT of issues. To show you how out-of-it I am regarding Magic, I had to go look up Prized Amalgam. I don't think that's THE core problem re: dredge, but it is...

Re: [Assorted][Daily] SecretInfiltrator's SecretBase
Is "bury the top card of your library" appreciably different from "mill a card," or is it just not adding "mill" to how you word cards at this point? Anyway, this sounds, er, about right for the cost. (Good that it doesn't target so that part can't be negated. Although,...

Re: [Assorted][Daily] SecretInfiltrator's SecretBase
I mean, it's not a lot, but also, I mean... I feel like it's easier to get extra mileage out of it than Fountain of Renewal. It's easier to untap a land than it is to get extra upkeep triggers (especially in green...). This also lets you untap another land with Estrid 's +2 -- you'd far sooner want ...

Re: MTGNexus Custom Card Creation Random Card of the Day
A 4 cost reduction is a permanent +4/+4 buff indeed... ...mostly. But there's always that one or two weird exceptions. I like this as a tribe buffer since it has a lot of flexibility. You can dump out a bunch of "tiny" hydras for cheap (every XG becomes a 4/4 for G -- efficient!) or throw ...

Re: MTGNexus Custom Card Creation Random Card of the Day
More or less. Story integration in the olden days could be really funky. It got noticeably better starting from Weatherlight, but even that was subpar compared to where we're at today. Getting around to properly building, say, "Homelands 2.0" will take a while for me for a wide variety of ...

Re: [Assorted][Daily] SecretInfiltrator's SecretBase
Very nice! I remember thinking the Volvers were really cool when I was first getting into the game, but since I got back in around 2009, I noticed they were... kind of underpowered for their cost. This is much nicer. 2MNO for a 5/5 with hexproof and an evasion ability is something I wouldn't mind pl...

Re: MTGNexus Custom Card Creation Random Card of the Day
On the one hand: yes.
On the other: Homelands lore is a huge blind spot for me. My first instinct is to make an Ihsan, Serra Paladin front face that transforms into Ihsan's Shade when a condition is met (enchanted by a black aura?), but again, kind of unsure.

Re: [Kaldheim] Black Commons
I feel a raid card, at least at common, should be an acceptable card without raid and just be pushed a bit over curve by raid. I feel Sea's Plunder doesn't pass that test. Too much of a swing between playing the card with and without raid. This and Affliction of Komla strike me as the two most prob...

Re: [Assorted][Daily] SecretInfiltrator's SecretBase
Interesting minor twist compared to the tetravite tokens, which instead of having protection from enchantments, have "This creature can't be enchanted." Most of the time, though, there isn't a huge difference (probably). Neat.

Re: MTGNexus Custom Card Creation Random Card of the Day
Definitely not the only Quicken for creatures. I think I like Scout's Warning better. On the other hand, this is a good ability to have kicking around once in a while. I just can't add much to the design without making it clunkier. Combo options are common enough, from simple designs like Nekrataal ...

Close enough, at least. Immortal Phoenix and maybe Skyfire Phoenix might have it beat? Either way, there's definitely a lot more complicated phoenix designs, but they're trying to do cleaner designs.

Re: [Assorted][Daily] SecretInfiltrator's SecretBase
Interesting to see a Mire's Toll spellshaper as (effectively) multicolor. I guess that's one way to slow it down from becoming a one-mana Coercion spellshaper. Also, mechanically, this feels like it fits in with the surrakar, even though they haven't had any discard effects yet. But since they have ...

Re: [Assorted][Daily] SecretInfiltrator's SecretBase
Can GW get "whenever a creature you control enters the battlefield or dies"? I know BG can.
Eh, that's a minor thing. Card looks fun, plus a squirrel with a crown is an excellent mental image.

it's Doomed Necromancer but I had to look that up so I guess I'm kind of a fraud. Anyway, morph creatures with activated abilities feel very weird (not counting stuff like regeneration or abilities that buff the creature with the ability). I'm not sure it's a bad idea, though, since it does theoret...

Dreadspawn does feel like it could get a cosmic horror-ish flavor attached to it based on its mechanics, so I like the type line choice. Overall, an interesting card. Granted, I mostly play four-player casual EDH nowadays, so I'm pretty sure I'd drop it and it'd be dead by my turn, but BBB for "...

GW Daxos' Heroic trigger is pretty powerful. As per Krishnath: Anoint and Change of Heart are good choices to sit there building up for a couple turns.

Re: [Assorted][Daily] SecretInfiltrator's SecretBase
Gastropod seems like it'd be really good in Doran, and pretty decent elsewhere. Making an opponent sac one permanent to prevent six damage is not necessarily a huge tradeoff, but with the appropriate setup, it can put the opponent in a very tight spot easily.

Not really sure what to do with Recover. It's a pretty basic design. I feel silly for missing out on shadow discussion. I kinda prefer Bone Harvest and its near-functional-reprints to Recover, even if they're probably worse. Either way, a block does need at least one Raise Dead effect, right? Cantri...

Re: [Assorted][Daily] SecretInfiltrator's SecretBase
Hey, it has got 0 power, there's a good amount of things that can make creatures with power 2 or less unblockable for a turn. Not sure how doable it'd be in a draft (cause, y'know, no idea if those would be in the set...), but it's doable elsewhere pretty easily.
