Neville Ceres, Executioner Legendary Enchantment Creature — Demigod (U) Neville Ceres has indestructible as long as your subjugation is five or greater. Partner "We do what we need to get by." 5/1 Subjugate — Your opponents are subjugated if you control the creature with the greatest power...

Interesting mechanics, I see you are already considering changing a few but I want to help out your wording. And join the discussion on flavor and color pie. Omen (At the beginning of combat, choose a creature with less power than ~. You choose how that creature attacks or blocks this combat.) This ...

You get to prevent both instances of damage. Both palms have resolved, and you are being dealt first strike damage. Both palms say "Hey, I would like to prevent that damage" as the affected player you choose the order for replacement effects, let's assume there aren't any other ones. You a...

There is a problem with these, and it isn't trying to get haste but totally not calling it haste. These are flicker engines. And simply as flicker engines, they are too cheap. Because flickering is the stronger of the mechanics being enabled here it has to be costed by that mechanic making it a very...

Looking over the possibilities, the ability as worded is confusing with colored equip costs or worse non-mana equip costs. Its an easy fix. Choose target Equipment you control, you may pay its equip cost. If you do, create a 0/0 blue and red Spirit artifact creature token, attach that Equipment to i...

I would say: "When this creature is not equipped, sacrifice it." As I mentioned this doesn't work. You create the token, its tigger condition is met. Then you equip the equipment. Then its tigger ability is put on the stack and you sacrifice the token. That is why you need an "If&quo...

First, I'm shocked "equip cost" is viable rules text. Moving on, that sac trigger is surprisingly tricky. It needs to be a trigger but it needs an intervening if clause so thst it can actually function. "When this permanent is not equipped, if it is not equipped, then sacrifice it.&qu...

I feel like there is a very very broken deck here. Possibly with lots of Serum Power or just lots of the cards you need for a simple combo. To combat but not eliminate this it desperately needs "other than Llah, Hall of mirrors." Also probably "not named by Llah, Hall of Mirrors."

It's neat but that fact that Studying doesn't give any kind of benefit at all feels somewhere between awkward and bad. Such effects are received better if they either aren't their own standalone actions or if they have their own effect in doing them. I can't think of a comparison, an ability action ...

I don't see how "Survivor" would trigger if the creature it's on wasn't on the battlefield. It was more to deter rules arguments. Some people get very literal when they read what is on a card, and my suggestion removes any ambiguity. Attempting to remove all ambiguity from the layman's pe...

True, I ignored the effect of the actual card being discussed and focused on polymorph.

Also, polymorphing is a red effect, so I'm not certain what the strange place is.

There is too much choice here which leads to too much cost. Overthink would probably need to cost 3 as an instant or UU as a sorcery. On both points I belive it fails to be an exciting card. Giving players too many choices is as bad or worse as giving them too few. You have taken the herculean chall...

Subtypes can't overlap so you can't have trap enchantments. These cards are just really bad. You have to commit 1 to set up and determine that you don't want to cast any other spell unless the conditions are met and then it gives you what might be a discount on your spell. I say might because you di...

I can't speak for elsewhere in the world, but historically, Masters sets have been slow to sell out, I still see Double Masters available many places over here. Some of the masters sets actually sold so poorly the LGS's over here had to reduce their sell price significantly before they sold out, an...

So then either they know they can make money and CHOOSE to keep the policy for reasons beyond money, or they are so out of touch that is doesn't really matter what we want. The problem is that it is Corporate that makes the decision, and corporate is always slow to change. This is true for all corp...

Can you point to any game company that adds updates at a significantly faster rate to their digital games than Wizards? Like, are you seriously asking this? Yes, yes I am. Because not once did I specify MTGO nor did I say a major interface update. I understand you don't like Wizards because they ha...

That's all simple deduction, in reality it's probably a LOT easier if you have $$ and a motivated company. So yeah, color me unconvinced that WOTC is secretly really good at making decisions and they are in actuality hamstrung by some mysterious forces that prevent them from coding properly. These ...

The fact they are running two digital products that compete against one another for the very same customers illustrates this. They could make a lot of money by combining the projects. Arena players get more things to do with their cards including ranked play. MTGO gets a fancy new interface. WOTC r...

Nah, the bottom line for WotC, or rather Hasbro, is value vs. risk. If the value is high and the risk is low, then it will happen. And the risk is so really friggin' low that it is essentially zero, all that needs to happen is for corporate to realize this and that the value is high. It is kinda cy...

It sounds like fun but I worry that if the payoff is worse than draw a card the right choice is to always choose 0.

Also, outside of an actual mill deck it might just never really matter.

I am at a loss for a solution that is functional without betraying their word. Can we make functional reprints that are BETTER versions of those garbage RL or does that violate the policy? A quick explanation of what is and isn't allowed. Thunder Spirit is on the resevered list. They can't print Av...

Its an interesting mechanic but there is one big problem and a few small ones. The big problem, is this meant to be beneficial or detrimental? While mechanics can be both they should really only be one. Having themes of turning negatives positives is great but a flagship mechanic like this should ne...

It probably won't happen until MaRo retires. He is the one that proudly championed the reserve list when Hasbro bought Magic, in order to maintain the integrity of the company bla bla bla. If I remember correctly, their compromise was to only remove the commons from the reserve list. Do you have an...

That's the stupid thing though, if they got rid of the reserved list, sorry, "The Official Reprint Policy", tomorrow, they could release a masters set a year from now containing the OG duals (in the new frame with new art obviously), sell the boosters for 15$ each, and it would literally ...
