Don't you hate those indecisive days? I posted a card, thought twice, posted a different one and now I see it's almost identical to Midnight Banshee while checking power levels. Let's go a third time, I suppose!
Thanks mate. I came up with it at work during break, like most of my cards, hehe. Autopsy looks pretty clever and fair as well, good candidate for votes tomorrow.
This has been a loopy month - seems like there's almost never been more than 10 points difference within the top 4-6 players, it really is anyone's game.
That moment when someone says something about the card you've posted, and you need to go back and check what card they are talking about, cause you can't remember what you've posted...
Same power level as Worldfire, you say? Was that card ever considered powerful?
I would like to mention that countering Balance of Pain will leave you with 1 life and feeling rather dumb
That said, it probably should cost twice as much at least.
Does my current entry work the way I think it should? Like, if you pay a creature's regen cost, it only actually counts as being regenerated if it takes lethal damage or a destroy effect happens, right?
I think that's close, but I'd go with "Whenever you spend mana produced by an Island to cast a spell, that spell can't be countered by spells or abilities." trying to go along the lines of Imperiosaur and Boseiju, who Shelters All. "Spend" and "produced" being the important words.
Last one of the Shields, which were an interesting exercise.
Shield of Sludge and Stone3
Artifact - Equipment (M)
Equipped creature gets +0/+5 and gains protection from black and from red.
Whenever equipped creature blocks or becomes blocked, destroy target tapped land and you may search your library for a card. If you do, shuffle your library, then put that card on top of it.
Equip 2
Is the fact that you may be forced to blow up your own land when it triggers intentional?
Yes. Less intentional (but I'm keeping it anyway) is the "if there are no tapped lands, you don't get to tutor because the ability gets countered for lack of a legal target" part.
after market Radiohead, how does inverting a life total work with single digit totals? 30 becomes 3, but 3 becomes 3 with an undefined number of zeros after it I think?
It looks as if the desired effect would be instant speed to me? (Admittedly I'm just getting my bearings on card design here, so I could be dead wrong)

Yeah, that's pretty Red, they care the most about freedom and all that.
aftermarket - I LOVE your card today, always good to see a reference (Eladamri's Vineyard/Magus of the Vineyard for anyone who didn't notice), but it desperately needs an "X can't be zero" rider to prevent infinite draw. Too many ways to ditch the counters. Maybe make the ability X1?
Fun fact: most of the names for burn spells, primarily made of "fiery/lightning/searing/magma/lava/burning + bolt/burst/spear/arc/storm" are gone. Seriously, I don't know what WotC will name their burn spells in 5 years.
I just now noticed that what I posted is different from what I had written in my design file. How the heck did I do that, I thought I copy and pasted. My original one had the extra line, "If a charge counter is removed from ~, sacrifice it," which aimed to stop broken combos. Ah well, I need to pay more attention when I post.

Cryo, I liked your card but I couldn't vote for it because I was intimidated by whether it would be too powerful, heh.

so weird, i dig.
it seems clear that single digit life totals remain the same, a shame, but the reminder text should make that crystal though.

Totally forgot about that - in fact, I'm not sure if I ever noticed. Changed and thanks for spotting it.
