I think people don't give "can't be regenerated" enough credit. It has plenty utility.
Yeah, yours would've been pretty bonkers if it was "Player" in Living End. Now you no longer have to fill your yard with cyclers before you cast an Outburst, you can JUST cast the Outburst :))
If you're referring to my response to your card from yesterday, I'm giving "can't be regenerated" a lot of credit. That's why I think maybe it should be dropped from the card. Destroy any target creature is something mono-black has only recently received, it seems pretty strong to be able to do it for two, especially with "can't be regenerated". Don't get me wrong though, I think the card is good, otherwise I wouldn't have voted for it.
As far as my card goes, I did change it to player (I never updated my post in the discussion section). I assume that was a mistake since the card hasn't received any votes. It's probably not very exciting the other way though since it would just be a situational mill card/hatebear. I'm not sure if this card would really be that great in Living End though since it would make it so that your cascade effect is no longer guaranteed to hit Living End (it could hit Dismissive Advisor).

Does anybody see any reason I shouldn't start putting today's thread up? It's gettin' kinda late. I'll wait like 15 min or so and then start putting it together if no one responds otherwise.
Edit: Ok. I'm doin' it. As always, let me know if I screwed anything up.
Edit2: It's up. Hopefully everything's ok because I'll be away from the computer for a bit.

I'll see what I can do. I've been having a hard time coming up with ideas lately. I've had as many people insult me as I've had vote for me the last couple of days.

Any cards posted in today's thread (3/1) will count towards March, but today's thread isn't up yet. Cards posted in the most recent thread as of now (2/28) will still count towards Feb.
Speaking of which, has anybody heard anything from MDenham? His profile says he hasn't been active in 2 days. From my experience, that's unusual.

Sorry for the double-post but....Is anybody opposed to me putting the thread up in 20 min. or so? It'll be weird to have a thread with no MD post, but it's getting kinda late again.

Congrats on the well deserved victory IcariiFA! You truly are a formidable opponent. I'll be back next month to try to reclaim my title. That is as long as these stupid 10+ hr days @ work are over.

Props to Guesswork for keeping the DCC going in MDenham's absence. Speaking of which, does anybody know MD in real life? If so, do you know what's up with him? It seems strange that he up and disappeared. Hopefully he is ok.

Can we please set a time for when it's ok to start the thread each day? It's been getting earlier and earlier, and I don't like missing days over it. Last one wasn't even up for a full day.
My perception has been that the threads have been creeping later and later in the day, so I'm just trying to correct for that drift.
I figure, if it's already tomorrow in some part of the world, might as well close the thread from yesterday and start today's thread.
Also, it's more convenient for my schedule if I post earlier, so I do it for purely selfish reasons as well.
Of course, I'm not the boss of anything, I'm just pushing this cart along for the time being. So, if somebody wants to start a different regime, I will humbly defer to them.
That's fine and all, I just want some consistency. I really appreciate you taking the time to do it, but I think it would be great if there was an official time that it was "ok" to start posting the thread. I've only been playing for the past couple months, so I'd gotten used to the idea of having up until about noon my time to post, so it's just been a bit of jeer with the turn over the past week.
In the process of posting the next round. Should be up momentarily.
EDIT: Today's is up. I'd like to ask everyone to use just simple symbols too (ie. -,(),[],{},\/). The site made a change at some point in the recent past where abnormal symbols cause an error when trying to quote things. Today's took a bit because I was trying to hunt down the greater than/less than sign in Flatline's post, which is apparently not one of the accepted ones. Would make it a lot easier for those reposting the thread every day Thanks and have fun!
that's such a specific area to be hosing- how relevant? imagine an environment where it's unusually relevant- seems very exotic.
i wonder, what inspired your design goal? i'm trying to imagine other uses for such an ability. perhaps the set of origin might have a mechanic like echo. could guide players' deck building choices, rather just being a possibly inconsistent punishment for opponents. (inconsistent due to relying heavily on opponents' deck building choices)
there could be a static ability route here. Mana Leak and Daze create these costs from their effects. to be rules kosher i sense the word effect should be applied in the template... maybe something kinda like, um,
"Costs from effects cost 1 less for you to pay?"
not exactly what i'm trying to pull out of my head here, but close-ish enough for now.
117.1. A cost is an action or payment necessary to take another action or to stop another action from taking place. To pay a cost, a player carries out the instructions specified by the spell, ability, or effect that contains that cost.
so paying the 3 for Mana Leak does appear to count as a cost

I don't threaten idly. You're gonna have to fight for that crown this month.

Piar really ramped it up rather impressively at the end there too!

So, that means 7:00 AM Eastern time / 4:00 AM Pacific time.
I'm not going to be posting it that early, but I would say it's fair game for the thread to go up at that point. That's my view, at least.
