Re: The Seven Deadly Sins

I think the cmc gimmik is so neat that I would prefer to nerf the cards at this point. For example, if you think that Greed does too much suggest me a nice way in UR to represent well that concept, that would be appreciated. [...] And how about changing the effects [of Wrath and Envy]? Would you pr...

Re: Token Generators.

Man, I'm wavering a lot on Appeal to a Higher Power as well. If we look at other white effects that create angels we can make these comparisons: Decree of Justice gives me three angels at X=3 for {10}WW . Entreat the Angels gives me three angels at X=3 for 6WWW (or 3W at Miracle, but that's hard to ...

Great job. I really like their effects and I really really like Wukong. I want to use him and Pilgrim of the Sands. Scriptures of the West I suggest making Scriptures of the West red ( 3R ) or red-white ( 2RW or 2{r/w}{r/w} ). Only the early trigger doublers have been colorless while more recent one...

Re: Soldier of Fortune

Stick to this general principle: If a deck is already randomized and we don't know anything about the order of any card in it, any additional shuffling is unnecessary. We'd call a judge and likely we'd handle it by skipping the shuffle but pretending it happens for anything that cares. If there's no...

Re: This is a Wug

That is cute and I love the joke in its colors. It's probably playable. See cards that search for other copies of themselves : they're usually 2-3 CMC creatures with 1-2 power and toughness that put the rest of their own copies into your hand to cast later. This is a higher rate than that: 3CMC and ...

Re: "Tale" or "Page" mechanic from Throne

Can anyone with a more in-depth rules knowledge speak to the implications of casting a permanent card as a sorcery from the battlefield? My intuition is that it would only work if the permanent ceases to be a permanent on the battlefield and becomes a sorcery on the stack, treated as if it had just...

Re: "Tale" or "Page" mechanic from Throne

My first thought was it's a sort of level up that unlocks the right page. If that's true though I can't figure out what the darker green bar is for: it doesn't seem big enough for reminder text. https://pbs.twimg.com/media/D_9pUjfXUAEcH8e.png:large I like the idea that it's a spell you can cast, but...

Re: New Mechanic - Ordained

On the mechanic itself — Ordained seems cool, but I feel it would be more flavorful and more mechanically effective if it only cared about Auras and Equipment. On a flavor side they are quite special things to give to a creature that certainly feel "ordaining" it. Mechanically, auras and e...

Re: The Blind Eternities

I don't think this card is playable in its current form. Cards that cost 10 mana should be giving me an overwhelming advantage that help me start to close out the game, see others for a power level reference . Unlike most CMC ~10 cards, this doesn't actually do anything to give me an advantage the t...
