I like it better without the mana cost. It makes him more useful... you can use your mana to play the cards. If they could choose it wouldn't be near as interesting... plus it doesn't fit his name at all. If anything it would have to be random. Also, there's no reason for them to be facedown anymore.
Plus, how many creatures are you really going to have in W/U? Maybe a few, but not really alot. If I put a mana cost on it, it might be fairly too expensive. Maybe a clause like this would fix it:
Supergenius can't be the target of spells or abilities you control.
Or make the cost of tapping two creatures either '...two other untapped creatures you control: [effect]' or '...two untapped creatures you control, T: [effect]'
I like it. . . I would remove the "when comes into play" effect. up the attack power +1. And lower cc by (1)
If it doesn't remove something when it comes into play it's not as good. It's not meant to be an attacker and 2 power would make it very much so. And if I lowered its cost any more it would be pretty broken. I mean, he's already like an uber-Glare. As long as you have pawns, this guy can completely lock down your opponent. Just make him draw, remove the card, and play it. And he's blue so it's not like he's too expensive for the curve. I'm just worried about him being broken already with the card drawing clause. It would be just all too easy to deck your opponent with that. Maybe it should be: UW, T: Target opponent draws two cards.
Also, maybe the removing clause should be a sorcery. I mean, it would be far too easy to just remove in their upkeep every turn ftw.

Quote from Alestra »
Removing cards in your opponent's hand from the game isn't very W/U. >_>
It's not removal persay as they can still play the card.
Don't forget that this guy fixes their mana permanently too, which would be his downside.
[EDIT] I just contradicted myself... the removal doesn't need to be a sorcery because (like I said) it's not actually removal.

Giving him fear was a flaver issue; I wouldn't really price him anything less, anyway, unless I dropped his p/t.
Is your card, like, a real submission? Cuz darn, that's a big card.
It was just an on-the-spot wording for an on-the-spot idea. Maybe this would be better:

I'd say Ceasefire, but that's probably because I wrote it.
>_>
Actually, I've been thinking of a creature:
The Master 1WUB
Legendary Creature - Angel Spirit Lord
Flying, vigilance, fear GG, tap X untapped drakes you control: Put The Master from your hand into play. It gets +0/+X and can block an additional X creatures until end of turn. Return it to your hand at end of turn. You may play this ability only during combat. RR, tap X untapped drakes you control: Counter target triggered or activated ability unless its controller pays X. If that ability is countered this way, destroy its source.
3/4
It's a medium-sized flier with some neat abilities that make use of an awful creature type, or simply blocks a lot.
Good stuff, though most likely too complicated and color intensive. Though, for the low, low price of RRGG, you can counter an activated or triggered ability and destroy the source... assuming your opponent is tapped out. Then it just comes back for more.
I would like to keep it in color though. The first ability can be eliminated (just make it playable as an instant, I suppose), and the second ability can be UB:
The Master 1WUB
L. Creature - Angel Spirit Lord
Flying, vigilance, fear
You may play The Master any time you could play an instant. UB, tap X untapped drakes you control: Counter target activated or triggered ability unless its controller pays X. If that ability is countered this way, destroy its source.
3/5
And, because it's harder to play, we can give it more toughness, possibly power. Cleaner, eh?
I like the latter, though two different kinds of evasion seems kind of counterproductive. It makes him cost more... and they're not really abilities that work well together. I mean, you might as well just make him unblockable. Think about it... how many B and Artifact cretaures have flying? I mean yeah... there's a few... (Ornithopter obviously) but not really that many popular ones.

I might be down but don't ever say I'm out
Before I flip, twist, and spit these words from my mouth.
It's like a broken record, "Alan your rhymes are so lame."
Then why am I have to be the one that finishes this rap game.
Yeah I'm not exactly pro, though I've got some good flow
Don't make me bust a real rhyme in here like Edgar Allan Poe.
There's do-s and there's don'ts then there's just plain hate.
You've done don'ts and did lose I'ma eject you like a casette tape
From my stereo you'll never be on. You won't ever be more than a pawn.
In this game we're playin' you're wrong... only I've got the real bombs.
This ****'s gone on too far and I've taken my leave from this thread.
It was dying already folks... lets just call it ****in' dead.
((Had to get one last one in since I wasn't here for your last posts. ;)))
***** please, you got skills like a wigger.
We'll do this thing... we'll see who's bigger.
But I think I'll have the last laugh in this mortar,
Whenever you're asking me "Would you like to super-size that order?"
I definately got this one, hands down hands up.
Standing beside me, your ass is nothing but a pup.
Don't hate just 'cuz you can't touch.
Work with the flow, learn from my flux.
I guess you know more about the flow than me,
You've been having your period since you were three.
Three times, three rhymes, and none of them got through.
Open your cranium and fix that, dude!
Your time is running short.
Your rhymes as well.
If you think you can compete with me
Then you just ****ing fell.
Come on now noobs, you're making me look good.
You're floating around the wrong neighborhood.
We were actually having a decent battle
Until you fools started up a scandal.
Nai, you diss on my rhymes and riddles,
But I don't see much more than a fool with Twiddle.
Avatar's as good as a fool on acid.
Spitting lame raps and thinking he passed it.
The thing of it is no matter how hard you be,
You're all actually just trying to be like me.
Err, sorry, I can't hear you through the static.
You mic must be broken, that's fantastic.
I don't have to hear you, and your lame chide.
Blah, blah, blah-dy blah. How about I tan your hide?
You don't seem to get it. You're busted.
Like a bully on a little nerd's toy, you're custard.
Your rhymes have been weighed, measured, and tossed.
They just can compare to the lines I've crossed.
It's smash, bash, dash, and crash
As you die and your memories flash.
You've been beaten. It's done.
There's a new king in town.
Move the **** over.
I'm stealing your crown.
What a shame, I got a bye, it's like Merry ****ing Christmas.
It's also quite a shame to see what all of this is.
I owned you, it was over, you were charred and well done.
Your lines are all the same, just with worse puns.
I got your point, I'm lame and you're awesome.
But I must say now, step back and use caution.
You're opening a can of spoiled whoop-ass.
Don't do it man, it's suicide... you're still a small lass.
Think up some new ****. Find something else to diss.
We've seen my rhymes are steady, or is there something you've missed?
I get the funny feeling that you don't even read my rhymes.
'Cuz you're still short some change... a couple hundreds and two dimes.
Your disses don't make sense. Your lines are irrelevant.
Au contraire, my rhymes flow, and they're much too eloquent.
You can't battle a master. Your resistance is futile.
Your weathered attempts, however, were cute though.
Dude, step back, your keyboard is crying.
"Stop typing these dumb rhymes! I'm ****ing dying!
You're making me look worse, please remove your fingers
Before you make yourself look dumber and the your stupidity lingers!"
Okay, that's it. It's finally over.
Drop the mouse, back the **** up, and stop being a poser.
[:D That was fun to write. I hope you know I'm not serious... it's all in fun. ;)]
