The idea is you could use a mountain and a snow covered mountain to produce Because +=. But Snow covered mountain also produces , and + does not equal . Hopefully my wording works and wouldn't have to get wordier. To keep the deck from being too efficient, Cosmos is the only purple land, but lands that tap for any color can produce purple.

no idea how to cost this without testing since you still have to pay the mana cost of the other spell too. I'm assuming "more," though.

Hi! You must be the new intern. How's working here at Wizards of the Coast been going? I'm guessing you got sent here to see our Vault of Unreleased Cards? Okay, it's less a vault and more an increasing pile of unused mechanics, but I digress. Each designer would store some of our work here, hoping to one day fix it, or just re-use it wholesale. It's a fun font of inspiration and insight into past designs. Here's a couple:
Anyways, for the first card: You go through a lot of mechanics making guilds work. This one feels like extort and haunt had a baby. This effectively taxes your opponent's next spell with mana or life. It was really strong, as you can see here where it explodes into more bats. Bit much, but that's more because of the mechanic more than this one design.
Now the second card is another purple card. It even uses Gunk and Invade for some reason. It also explodes into token like the first card. This one will break a format somewhere.
So what do you think? Which ones are interesting as is, and which ones are just waiting for the proper set? For me, it's...

Amonkhet was a graveyard set, so it was the perfect place to experiment further with this iteration of cycling from the graveyard itself. This was a proof-of-concept for Standard, acting as the usual Glimmer of Genius effect. It's simple, and straight to the point. I wonder what set will try this out next...
Purple
Show
Hide
The new designers LOVE purple. Everyone always tries their hand at it to see if it can work; you might too eventually. This one designer was probably experimenting with snow when this came up, but the usual way this would end up is using colored and colorless mana. Speaking of, this really looks like colorless mana with extra steps. The numbers compensate for it, sure, but it feels like it's trying something awkward. Best one here is Exquisite Cerebellin, for being a really interesting effect for the cost.Mergatroid_Jones wrote: ↑3 years agoCosmos

Spellback
Show
Hide
Splice is in a strange place where making it too narrow ruins it but making it too wide is a mechanice-wide power leevl concern. We were experimenting off splice when we came up with this iteration of spellback. This version is dangerous despite being one-shot, so design space is narrow enough to be a guild mechanic. It is draw 4 though, so might have been costed more on both mana and spellback ability, but you can see where we were going here. Still pretty good, but repetitive gameplay is still a concern.
Volatile Counters

Sometimes we dig up a retired mechanic just to see how far we can go on things. This uses volatile counters to create a chain of exploding Goblins. Might be a bit too strong for common, but I see where it's going here.stille_nacht wrote: ↑3 years agoExplosive Sneeze

Reckless is an example of making a mechanic for one guild, and coming out with something for another guild.

Forbidden was weird to playtest. We got to use the command zone like emblems, and unlike Companion this one will take a while to appear. This could get away with being mono-blue, actually.

As WotC themselves consider Plesiosaurs and Pterosaurs dinosaurs when it comes to the game, I would consider all the giant reptiles of the Age of Dinosaurs to be dinos in the context of the game, which includes Mosasaurs. However, Ammonites are neither dinosaurs nor paleolithic, so no, those do not count (Nautiluses do however count, as they existed during the paleolithic era.)Sporegorger_Dragon wrote: ↑3 years ago@Krishnath, question:

For the Vernadi ceratops, wayfaring temple was downshifted to uncommon for a master's set, and for the necrotic predator, ascendant spirit in Kaldheim uses keyword counters outside of Ikoria, so there is precedent. Also, dinosaurs exist on Ravnica. Look at Finale of Devastation and Ripscale Predator|gatecrash, oracled to be a dinosaur
