MTG Salvation

The problem I have found is that making a card that uses the command zone in constructed tends to make designs that are unplayable in limited.

1R: Exile cards from the top of your library until you exile a permanent card. Put that card onto the battlefield under target opponents control, then add mana to your mana pool equal to that card’s mana cost. Until end of turn, you may play the exiled cards.

How is echo a downside mechanic? You're splitting the cost into two payments, have the option to ditch it if you just want an ETB ability, and you don't need to pay the second half if it dies before your upkeep.

The only problem with echo is that evoke covers the most interesting part of it while being less tricky.

Quote from Creedmoor »

Not necessarily; you're only applying the effect to another spell, not casting the spell over and over again.

The issue is storm copying the spell you just added an extra effect to.

Wouldn't removing the restriction on splice cause bad interactions with storm?

"Playable" is a dangerous word that will lead to ridiculous power creep. Something does not need to be playable to be balanced. When making a card, you just need to think of a reasonable scenario where people will play it, that scenario does not need to actually exist.

Quote from Lithl

Uh... why? There's no reason to revert a portion of the rules before bringing back banding.

Because it would make banding change the combat rules in one less way, and the rules should have never been changed to be that way in the first place.

If they ever brought back banding, they would have to change combat damage back to the way it was before where you can divide it instead of having a line where you do lethal to one and move up.

One thing they all have in common is revenge. Stalking Vengeance, Avenging Arrow, No Mercy.

Avacyn doesn't end with an "a" because she's just Sorin in drag. Either that, or she was originally going to be called "Nycava" but that was too sinister sounding, so Sorin reversed it.

If you look at Ashcoat Bear/Vile Rebirth, Forbidden Experiment actually seems overcosted.

This reminds me of a silly card idea I had not to long ago.

Search your library for a card with converted mana cost equal to a Fibonacci number, reveal it, and put it into your hand. Then shuffle your library. (0, 1, 2, 3, 5, and 8 are Fibonacci numbers.)

The fossil is suppose to be a part of a cycle if that wasn't apparent.

Also, you may have noticed that it has the snow super type. I am still holding onto my questionable ability word "Solstice — Stuff happens when you control exactly three or exactly four snow permanents." The fossil helps the snow balance by adding +1 to the count itself, getting a snow land if you need it, and self destructing if it gets too cold.

Yes, it's suppose to be like Meloku. It's a rabbit as a reference to that(moonfolk have some rabbit-like features).

As for discard, there's retrace and cycling in the same set.
