That makes a lot of sense, Lyracian. Triple black seems reasonable, while hopefully being playable.
Lornick, I considered the possibilities of draws. I figured it was safe enough to put in black since the color has so much direct damage and cards that cause life loss. Maybe I should have put in a clause that forces a sacrifice when there are no counters? Unfortunately, that makes it a lot wordier.

May 13, 2013necrogenesis posted a message on You Make the Card 4Thanks for the comments! After reading hundreds of posts, it seems to be the general consensus that my design isn't the most powerful for tournament play. That's fair enough and I now realize the power isn't as obvious as I'd hoped it would be. I wanted people to see the connection to Sulfuric Vortex and Shrine of Burning Rage.Posted in: Everlasting Dusk
On the other hand, I've received quite a few compliments on the general design and flavor, which is definitely a nice feeling.
I, too, wish they would have included a mana cost estimate. Obviously, the CMC is going to determine how playable ALL of these are. I've seen some estimates for mine that are far higher than what I'd expect.
To answer your question Lyracian, I figured the cost could be adjustable along with the number of counters. The more counters there are, the lower cost.
For example, if they put the counters at 5, the cost might be 5BB. If they put the counters at 20, the cost might be 1B. At 13, I was hoping it would be toward the lower end. What do you think? -
Jan 26, 2008necrogenesis posted a message on [0004]I had a dream of a symbol once. It was quite nice looking and I don't remember ever seeing it before my dream. In many years, I think I've only shown it to one other person. I search through books of symbols because I think it has probably been done before. Still, for all I know now, that symbol is original, and I treasure it because of that.Posted in: Redington Blog

Thanks for directing me to that section of the rules. However, if I'm reading it correctly, it looks like 114.6d is the relevant rule:
That leads me to believe Segoth's response is correct, since Cooperate uses the text "choose new targets".
Can anyone confirm or refute?
Not remotely close. The non-control player still gets to untap, draw, attack, and cast creatures, artifacts, enchantments, and planeswalkers.
That's a fair point.
It's not the same chance. Normally, there are 1 or 2 foil basic lands per box. This has been the case with all sets that I can remember since foils were first introduced in Urza's block. This was also the case with Unhinged, which also only had 1 art for each land.
WotC changed the math on us in Unstable, breaking a trend that they had in place for about 18 years, and didn't mention it until retailers called attention to it few days before release. That's why people think it's scummy.
Dealers have been opening boxes and posting numbers on reddit. Also, Maro recently posted on his twitter. I'll try to find some links and update this post.
EDIT:
https://www.reddit.com/r/magicTCG/comments/7i8aif/rosewater_on_foil_unstable_land_rarity/
From that thread:
"Your chance of getting any foil basic Unstable land is only 1/4th your chance of getting any foil basic in a Normal set."
"We opened 252 boxes with 69 foil basics, so one foil basic in 3.5 boxes."
Seems to be confirmed at this point. I'm right there with you. I was pretty excited about Unstable, but this doesn't sit right with me. I'll probably do a draft, but I don't think I'll be buying a box like I was considering. I know WotC needs to make their money, but I don't want to feel like I'm supporting a cash grab like this for a side product. I won't discourage others from buying, but I don't think this is the product for me right now.
Does this open the door to Collector's Edition and/or proxies being allowed in tournaments?
As far as non-legendaries, I think kavu are indigenous to the plane. I would love to see the return of Kavu Titan and kicker (and Urza's Rage, although Urza is dead DEAD).
It would probably be a good time to bring back pain lands, or at least some of the places they reference.
Yep. You just tap all their basic lands in their upkeep and return the second copy to your hand to do it every turn.
This card seems like the opposite of fun/funny.
You're correct about the double and triple strike, but not about each source causing it to trigger. Combat damage is normally dealt in one big "chunk" no matter how many creatures are attacking. If two or more creatures are dealing you regular combat damage, it will only trigger this ability one time. It is very similar to how the Engage ability in Ixalan works:
