    I agree that "deal damage deal damage deal damage" is uninspired no matter how you try to swing it, but I think there are interesting things you can do w/ Chandra. The can't block clause on the real Chandra is a step in the right direction. Here's another

    Chandra, Fireweaver
    2RR
    Planeswalker - Chandra
    +1: Chandra, Fireweaver deals 1 damage to target player. If that player has been dealt 3 or more damage this turn, draw a card.
    -1: Until your next turn, whenever a creature attacks or blocks, if Chandra, Fireweaver is on the battlefield, she deals 2 damage to it.
    -6: Exile cards from the top of your library until you exile three nonland cards. Cast any number of the nonland cards exiled this way without paying their mana costs.

    Is Powerstone Minefield too good? Maybe only opponent creatures? That seems too good. Although maybe for a 3RR walker...

    Every color combo gets one multicolored uncommon and one multicolored rare. We already have Grand Arbiter at WU rare, and I don't think they'd demote Swans to uncommon, so I suspect Plumeveil is in at uncommon.

    I don't understand, all of my friends hated this card. Karl Rove told me the AMERICAN PEOPLE hated this card. And has this "CJ Mlsna" even released his birth certificate? Clearly, this election was RIGGED!

    Wait, no, that's the kind of thing crazy conspiracy theorists say. I'm neutral on the win (it wasn't my favorite option, but it's fine). Hopefully it'll be cheap and have great art.

    It's a mini Borborygmos (the original, not his land-flinging upgrade). Seems reasonable given Curse of Stalked Prey exists. It may need to be uncommon or rare, it seems a little too powerful for common (I mean, straight up "put a +1/+1 counter on everything" is usually uncommon, and this is repeatable).

    Also, the wording should be "Whenever ~ deals combat damage to a player, put a +1/+1 counter on each other attacking creature."

    Angelic Protection 2WW
    Enchantment (U)
    Whenever one or more creatures attack you or a planeswalker you control, sacrifice Angelic Protection. If you do, put a 4/4 white Angel creature token with flying onto the battlefield.

    Re: Bar. Could you just say "Counter target permanent spell"? It's better than Essence Scatter but worse than Counterspell. 1U or UU are both reasonable costs.

    Intescolos is very powerful in Standard. It's reminds me a lot of Prime Speaker Zegana, except never completely dead and there's a life payment attached. I suspect it needs to cost more, but either way it's a clever twist on Grislebrand.

    Strangle 1B
    Instant (U)
    Destroy target creature with converted mana cost 4 or greater. It can't be regenerated.

    Quote from RedKid43
    Oh boy! New versions of Slivers that have already been made! And they're more expensive too!

    Compare Heart Sliver and Blur Sliver. I guess since the effects are now no longer symmetrical they have to cost more.


    Heart Sliver is a 1/1 that grants haste. Blur Sliver is a 2/2 that grants haste. Not surprisingly, the 2/2 costs more than the 1/1. I suspect that we're not going to see neo-slivers with the same stats/abilities cost more than their old counterparts.

    Reminds me of River's Grasp. Seems perfectly reasonable.

    Hey, it's Thallid-Land. I think it should be rare, but powerwise it seems fine. Maybe it's where Ghave hangs out.

    Call of the Pack 1GG
    Sorcery (U)
    Choose a creature type. Each player may search his or her library for a creature card of the chosen type, reveal it, and put it into his or her hand. Then each player who searched his or her library this way shuffles it.

    Tapping attacking creatures seems strange: other than corner cases (vigilance), most attacking creatures are already going to be tapped. That said, Rain of Blades is a fine card and making it cost 3 for the artifact version seems reasonable.

    Vinelasher Creep 1B
    Creature - Plant Zombie (R)
    Whenever a Swamp enters the battlefield under your control, put a +1/+1 counter on Vinelasher Creep.
    Whenever a Gate enters the battlefield under your control, put two +1/+1 counters on Vinelasher Creep.
    1/1

    Reality Acid did something similar. It's worth noting there's some wierdness about granting vanishing to a creature that already has vanishing, which makes me think Acid is the better execution.

    Marked Offering 3BB
    Enchantment - Aura (U)
    Enchant creature
    When enchanted creature dies, put a 5/5 black Demon creature token with flying onto the battlefield.

    I'm not sure what Brood of War is, but I assume that you changed the name and forgot to update. First off, I'm not sure why Warlord grants double strike and haste. I'd be much happier if it only granted double strike. Also, I think it should either be a may ability or explicitly only target your creatures: nobody wants to boost their opponents stuff.

    Price of Knowledge 3B
    Enchantment (R)
    Whenever an opponent draws a card, he or she loses 1 life.
    Whenever an opponent searches his or her library, he or she loses 5 life.

  • posted a message on [[MTGO]] Promo Codes Coming to MTGO
    Quote from Roger
    I just can't fathom what could possibly be stopping them from being able to give these to everyone, what is the difference between putting this code on for a free card and getting a card for making 15QPs in a month.

    Hell, its just infuriating to me that they are happy to take our money in the store, but we can't give you something for free because it might break laws?


    If it's any consolation, Worth (@mtgworth) knows about the issue, isn't particularly happy about it, and is trying to get it changed. He's also said he's not allowed to talk about the reasons behind it (aka there are legal reasons that he's not allowed to discuss in public).
