(Strangely, wtwlf, I had the zombie as a 2/1 before editing it as a 2/2. I remember that wizards said that they were going to make a LD card that was "better than stone rain" in lorwyn, but I think it got turned into Faultgrinder. )
I think they could have made fulminator mage without the non-basic restriction. It would have been more pushed and maybe even played a little. Certainly acceptable.

I am petitioning for the end of: the Mythic rarity, the Planeswalker card type, the post-8th edition card faces, the 2010 rule changes, colorless cards that aren't artifacts or lands, the Legendary supertype, the stack, auras, multicolor cards, artifact creatures, tokens, goblins, merfolk, elves, sorceries, instants, and permanents. Basically, I just want to play with purple contraptions.
Copy this sig to join the cause. Cuz, ya know, Wizards makes decisions based on sigs.

I think my version is more interesting because you have the delema of certainty vs more creatures. As is it is way too powerful. Goblin Recruiter is horribly designed.

Creature recruiter is as green as they come. It can't be any other color.
Oh, and Reckless Embersholar is horribly broken. Especially in red.
In pretty much every way. They only do that effect as common or uncommon, so you really can't get the rare bump, and why is it a 2/1? And both kinds of cycling? It's cubeable, but I doubt it could be printed as is.

That's what I just said. They need to make it cost 2U, and then be Stifle + Mana Leak. I think hard counter + Stifle is too good even at 1UU.
Gotcha. I misread. I suppose even that would be a tad broken for Wizards, as stifle and Mana Leak are both really good, and this would be simply combining their converter casting cost (which is generally not what they do). Maybe a Memory Lapse or Stifle?
I don't think 1UU is too cheap for Stifle or Counterspell. I on the other hand think Cancel is overcosted. Three mana counterspells should have a second ability of some sort, else it just aren't interesting enough.
Stifle + Memory Lapse would be great. 1UU is probably the correct price though.
Even though Ophidian is only meh in the cube, the classic frame DCI foil of that card is super pretty also.

How about bumping it up to 1UU and adding the "Choose one or both" clause.
Gotcha. I misread. I suppose even that would be a tad broken for Wizards, as stifle and Mana Leak are both really good, and this would be simply combining their converter casting cost (which is generally not what they do). Maybe a Memory Lapse or Stifle?
That would make it a cube staple, imo.

They should probably just call it "Tempo Gold".
Stifle + Memory Lapse would be great. 1UU is probably the correct price though.
