I'm surprised everyone liked that card. To me, it somewhat reads "Ignore everything that happened this game. Find a big monster in your deck and fight (and since you're red/green, you probably have the bigger monster)."
It also doesn't state what happens if one deck has no creatures. And since lands don't get exiled, can you use a burn spell to get the other creature to die?
If you actually pay attention to how the card works, what happens is cards are moved into your storage zone and remain in the same order as they were in when they were in your library. Since you're not allowed to reorder (or look at) cards in your storage zone unless a specific card says otherwise, it's more like an alternate library than an additional exile zone.
This happens to be why it doesn't just exile the cards, face-down or otherwise - you're allowed to freely order the cards in exile as desired, like you could with your graveyard way back in the day before cards that cared about graveyard order were printed. Rather than implementing a similar rule for exile, which is a pain in the neck and conflicts with existing rules for exile anyway, I went with an additional zone that has most of the properties of the library (aside from that you don't draw from it).
(The whole card is kind of a "hey, remember Windows 3.1" joke anyway - you're effectively "swapping out" parts of your "memory", and when you need to get the swapped-out part back, it takes a long-ass time.)
Understood, I just wanted to note that there are other "additional" exile zones already in the game, so I don't think that would be a gamebreaker.
Speaking of GY order... I'm glad I don't play anyone that worries about that while I'm playing my RUG self-mill deck (what with counting creatures, finding flashbacks, exiling lands with Lavamancer...)
MDenham, regarding your "extra exile zone", the "Fiend of the Shadows" card kinda does that already. When she deals damage, opponent exiles a card, but any cards exiled can be played by the controller of the Fiend, so they can't be exiled with other "normal" exiled cards...
Subbak, instead of making it a mechanic, why not make a card that maybe fits the flavor? For instance, something like (please delete if we aren't allowed to throw mockups in here)
Gathering of Elders2G
Enchantment (R)
Each creature gets +X/+X, where X is the total number of types among creatures you control. No race can escape politics.
Clearly I didn't acomplished the seduction task with you ppl today. I felt really confident about my entry today, but it seems there's a problem I can't see. Any thoughts?
If you're talking about the current polling card, I voted for it... *shrug*
Okay, now somebody give me a REAL challenge this month.
(Kidding, folks! Just lie down and accept your defeat.)
I think you should place yourself under a self-imposed challenge for the month of April, you know, to make it fun. Maybe you can only post creature cards, or only goblin-related cards, or maybe only cards inspired by the Wizard of Oz.
Edit: Also, I'm pretty sure Blackbull's card would create infinite copies...

Sorry Kool, just didn't do it for me.
