Great job man! You faced a friend of mine in top4 mirror match!
Anyway really weird mainlist : 20 lands, no maniac, fetchlands, etc...anyway if u won, it means it worked!
Thanks, I had found Bob's article, but Andreas' was a good read as well.
I just find curious there's no consensus about the sb past the typical slots (2 Pacts, 1 Boseiju, 2 Seizes, 4 Leyline): 3 solution spells (bounces of some sort usually), 3 spellskite, 3 fogs. What's the majority trend around here?
Well, true, but I wasn't strecthing that much I was talking in a generic sense of the color pie. Beget is like populate, which is mostly GW, maybe in this case slightly U could be acceptable. Bloodied I don't see in any other color tbh.
Sorrow - Whenever you lose life during your turn, X. (Damage causes lose of life.)
Upbeat Vampire1B
Creature - Vampire (C)
Flying Sorrow - Whenever you lose life during your turn, gain 1 life. (Damage causes lose of life.)
1/2
Dark-Magic Experimenter1B
Creature - Human Shaman (U)
Pay 2 life: Add B to your mana pool. Activate this ability only up to three times each turn.
2/1
Pain-Thirst Demon2BB
Creature - Demon (R)
Flying
At the beginning of your upkeep, sacrifice Pain-Thirst Demon unless you pay BB or pay 3 life. Sorrow - Whenever you lose life during your turn, Pain-Thirst Demon gets +1/+1 until end of turn. (Damage causes lose of life.)
4/4
"(2.5/3) Quality: Looks good except for the unitalic "then", maybe that is deliberate but to me it looks like mistake."
It was actually deliberate (see Gorilla Titan, among so many other examples), and it's awkward that you deducted me 0.5, exactly what I need to go through (or tie the others' score at least). I also don't get behind the 0.5 Elegance score, but that's more of a discussion and subjective matter that probably shouldn't be changed now. The quality deduction though should be a binary judging, and it's wrong.
IcariiFA - Unusual set of abilities. It also makes combat really weird and boring. Creatures "that player and another player of his/her choice" would be a cool twist.
Ink-Treader - Love it. Not sure about the color identity, but everything else is great.
glurman - Love the name. Future Sight for everyone, not sure why there's that restriction though.
theazurespirit - I like what's going on, I'm not sure if it completely fits the challenge.
RaikouRider - I like the idea, but the second ability seems really strong. Probably should be 'creature' (more greenish), and more expensive.
bravelion83 - It works and seems balances. Not much to say here. I don't think you need the second "where X is Y".
Rebalance2WW
Sorcery (R)
Each player's life total becomes the highest life total among all players.
For each player, if an opponent controls more creatures than any other, that player puts a number of 1/1 white Soldier creature tokens onto the battlefield equal to the difference.
For each player, if an opponent controls more lands than any other, that player puts a number of colorless artifact tokens named Gold onto the battlefield equal to the difference. They have "Sacrifice this artifact: Add one mana of any color to your mana pool."
doomfish - I'm can't make my mind regarding how powerful Altar is, but probably it's just a build around card, which is great. Zealot is fine, nothing crazy going on here.
void_nothing - Shrinking Reality seems strong. Virtual unblockability to large creatures, spot removal protection, and ETB re-triggering. Iroas's Temper seems busted. Kill a creature, gain 5 seems great.
bubblecat2 - Experiment is weak. Hard to cast, and hard to balance the tension between attacking or using its ability. Seems low impact. The wall is a limited 23rd probably, but it's an interesting design.
maplesmall - Why is unfold even a card? What is it trying to accomplish? If only it was one of those "lose all abilities and become X/X base p/t" type of card...I really like Stranger though, except for the non-sharing types clause, that doesn't make sense to me. He can copy lizards, let's say, but not a fellow human?
Moss_Elemental - Clever! Both cards are pretty balanced and good designs by themselves, but the combo is subtle, clean and...well, perfect. Good job.
Hemlock - Pandemic is nice, reminds me of Pestilence. Not sure if feasible nowadays, but it's nice to see such effect back. Mama is awkward though, I really don't get the flavor here.
