heyoo I'm proud of this cutie. I guess I have a meta--question, though: can this really be common? The set I'm working on is fairly insular and not meant to resemble a standard set particularly closely, but I still wonder. I remember the Lorwyn "Reveal an X card or pay 2/3" cycle being un...

The problem with the original design was that it could potentially deal 8 damage on its own, as well as buff all your future burn spells cast in the same round by 1, and for only four mana. That is insanely powerful. By removing the ability to target multiple things with it, it deals "only&quo...

Downpour of Blades 1RRR Sorcery If a red source you control would deal damage to a permanent or player this turn, it deals that much damage plus 1 to that permanent or player instead. Downpour of Blades deals 4 damage to any target. Much better, and much more balanced. It could still do some nasty ...

As far as I know, rituals are a thing in Modern only in Storm decks, which are a different strategy from RDW/Burn. Either way, keep in mind that each ritual puts the caster at card disadvantage, and having to have a spell in hand to cast another isn´t ideal for deck consistency, both offensively an...

Worldgorger Dragon needs to be under an automatic effect, not Animate Dead, though, as Animate Dead targets. Unless Worldgorger Dragon is the only legal target of Animate Dead, I suppose. Exactly: for the loop to happen, each player´s graveyard must have no creatures in it except copies of Worldgor...

Four mana is nothing in a monored deck dedicated to it, because Rituals are a thing in Modern. And I can tell you from experience, Kindle was a great card. It used to be a staple of Sligh decks together with Lightning Bolt and Incinerate . As far as I know, rituals are a thing in Modern only in Sto...

Leyline of Symmetry : It's narrowness vs. Hive Mind makes it a little harder to break, but Slaughter Pact will do the trick. A hand containing the Leyline, a 0 drop creature, and Slaughter Pact isn't improbable to get. Only a Turn 1 kill vs. 1 person (in multiplayer, all but the first copy to resol...

Some thoughts: Boilcaster Mage does something red is no longer allowed to do (specifically counter spells, even if it is only enemy color spells), and as such would never see print in a modern legal expansion. I could see it potentially see print in a commander deck, but even that is extremely unli...

Boilcaster Mage {1}{R}{R} Creature — Human Wizard Flash When Boilcaster Mage enters the battlefield, counter target blue spell. If that spell is countered this way, exile it instead of putting it into its owner's graveyard. You may play it without paying its mana cost for as long as it remains exil...

Tong Sonzong of the West 1URW Legendary Creature - Human Monk (M) Prowess Instant and sorcery spells you control with a converted mana cost 2 have rebound. Whenever you cast an instant or sorcery spell from exile, you may pay 1 . If you do, copy it. You may choose new targets for the copy. "On...

Scarman Thanks a bunch for your critique! You are absolutely right about the radiance mechanic. Because that extended the text, I went ahead and took away the last ability, although that kind of hurts to do so. I really wanted this to be card advantage machine for white. But you're right, the first...

Speaking of flash, here's a card: https://images-wixmp-ed30a86b8c4ca887773594c2.wixmp.com/f/aa14a5ca-fff9-4e55-ad52-e7a57f1d94f6/ddokvxz-28c018f5-8993-4b9c-b8a7-96a444971d3f.png?token=eyJ0eXAiOiJKV1QiLCJhbGciOiJIUzI1NiJ9.eyJzdWIiOiJ1cm46YXBwOjdlMGQxODg5ODIyNjQzNzNhNWYwZDQxNWVhMGQyNmUwIiwiaXNzIjoidX...

I would like to give my two cents on the topic, too, and rate some of the cards: Syr Ferra the Valor Brand 1WW Legendary Creature - Humana Knight (R) First Strike, vigilance Each spell that would cost greater than three mana to play costs an additional to play. 3/2 Personally I don´t dislike this ca...

Thank you for your replies! I think I will change the costs of both cards to 2RG . I considered making Skaharra mono-red flipping into red/green, but I´m not yet convinced. I´m not too fond of giving them activated abilities, as that could make them more mana-intensive than intended, although a targ...
