Apr 23, 2010RaikouRider posted a message on DECK - Runeflare Trap ComboI used to play this deck...it's a lot of fun, but has issues with Maelstrom Pulse and Duress. Thought about Spell Pierce? It counters them both when they're relevant.Posted in: darkspellcards Blog

Aug 8, 2009RaikouRider posted a message on FNM Report 8-7-09You're welcome for the Leeches...I'm glad they could be really helpful. Oh yeah, I took Behemoth Sledge out of Mayael because I'm taking the cube apart. Now I have Jitte. And Eternal Witness.Posted in: Charm_Master3125 Blog
Any idea of what his 5cc build was? Anything unusual about it like mine (such as the maindeck Halos?) -
Apr 4, 2009RaikouRider posted a message on FNM Report 4-3-09Wow, nice pulls. I pulled a Gabe myself tonight, topdecking Wraths and Cruel Ultimatums in a lot of matches. Sadly being lucky wasn't good enough to win.Posted in: Charm_Master3125 Blog

February will be Return month! Planar revisits have been some of Wizards' most popular sets in recent years. This month, you will be designing cards for a return to a plane that has yet to be revisited in a Magic set. Be wary of the design choices you make; the cards you design will influence your design limitations for future rounds this month.
Round 3 Challenge:
- Many sets have factions indicated by watermarked cards.
- If you have any questions on what factions exist in your block, please ask in the CCL discussion thread and I will answer you as soon as possible.
PLEASE NOTE: This month will NO LONGER use the "mandatory top 3" rule. Critiques and top 3s will each be worth one bonus point per round but it will be possible to score points and advance even without submitting a top 3. This will also be done on a trial basis; future months may once again require top 3s from contestants.
Round 1 — Open to Everyone (Feb 1th-6th)
Round 2 — Open to Everyone (Feb 7th–12th)
Rounds 1 and 2 Critiques (Due Feb 15th)
Top 8 — Open to top 8 finishers (Feb 16th–19th)

Instant {U}
Non-Spirit creatures you control gain afterlife 1 until end of turn. (Whenever one of those creatures dies this turn, create a 1/1 white and black Spirit creature token with flying.)
On Ravnica, just because you're dead doesn't mean you don't have a job to do.
I'm not for sure though.
Cards5000: I think Reproof should probably cost 1WU even though it's a split card (would not feel good playing this for four), but other than that it seems balanced enough. I wonder if you went back and forth on your cost like I did for my entry. Replace being able to be used both offensively and defensively is cool, to reuse an etb (twice!) or just kind of steal a guy.
Gateways7: I appreciate the creativity in rewarding delve use, but this seems like it could do a crazy amount of work for four mana. The only shred of balance I'm seeing is from the color-intensive mana cost, plus the card being the two colors that care least about creatures. Ironically, I think decreasing the CMC of this card to six would actually make it more balanced.
JamBlock: Enchantress players love you! This looks pretty obviously designed with singleton formats in mind, as it would get extremely messy if you copy this, since the two copies would produce more copies of each other. I do like exploring the design space of noncreature tokens, which is something that needs to be done more officially.
TheDrB: This is out of color pie. I think this kind of effect needs to be Simic or maybe even Temur. The concept is good, but I can't give you a top 3 spot because this is a pie break. Sorry.
picnic_bomber: Your flavor text made me laugh pretty hard. This design looks like a Duplicant that can copy the thing it clones. I think this is correctly costed, but it could use one or two extra points of toughness because it costs four colored mana.
Hemlock: Man this is quite the attack deterrent. Seems overly strong until you realize the creature actually has to hit you first in order to copy it. I especially like the 4 toughness.
