I liked the alliteration and the effect of grayness.

I do like lanky nerd dudes. I can't wait til the OKC Grand Prix. I hope I see my Magic crushes there.

Welcome back magikylscorpio to the gaymers (previously someone else maybe?)

It's hard not to associate sexuality with magic considering the number of buxom babes depicted on cards.

Everglade Sable - 1GB
Creature - Sable
Whenever Everglade Sable is dealt damage it gets +3/+3 until end of turn.
3/4

Cheshire Sable - U

Phasing
3/2

Stroke of Luck - x
Instant
Flip X coins. For each heads draw a card.

Blatant Cowardice - W
Enchantment - Aura
Enchant Creature
Whenever enchanted creature blocks or becomes blocked tap it and remove it from combat.

That's...like a pacifism right? except it triggers block/attack kind of effects and requires you to have a creature to block their creature in order for it to work?

Thanks. I just looked for outsider lol.

Sable sable hmmmm (I hope i get to do S so I can do a Sable Eye :D)

Petrified Lynx - GR
Creature - Cat Wall
Haste, Defender
Sacrifice a land: Petrified Lynx may attack this turn as though it didn't have defender.
Littered throughout the land are statues of the Goddess Evitha's favorite pet. It is said they move with the earth and attack with the Evitha's swift and decisive wrath. If you see one, it's better to steer clear than to risk evisceration during an earthquake
4/2

Gaijin Halfbreed - 3R
Creature - Homunculus Ninja
Vigilance, Haste
t, Unattach an Equipment from Yamjian Halfbreed: The unattached equipment deals 2 damage to target creature.
Someone thought it would be funny to teach the little halfling how to throw a Shuriken. By the time he reached adulthood he'd learned how to turn anything into a weapon just to prove he was as good as his full blooded brethren.
1/4

Underwriting - 1U
Sorcery
Return target instant or sorcery card from your graveyard to your hand then exile your graveyard.
You'd think in a world made of trash getting a loan would be pretty easy. But just like everyone else, I've invested in junk bonds. Hopefully this stipend will hold me over until another world's market crashes again.

W: Uberminnish gains protection from the color of your choice until end of turn.
U: Target attacking creature becomes blocked.
1: Uberminnish gets +1/-1 until end of turn.

3/6

Grim Lavamancer is a 1/1 for r that has a repeatable ability that requires stuff to hit the yard to work. Being a creature makes it a threat turn 1. But it's a creature and can be dealt with and then it's dealt with forever. This guy sure doesn't hit the board til turn 2, but it's not like you have to actually play it to make it useful. I agree with the idea that a R to put a bolt in the yard is a big advantage and it does a lot before it gets to the yard. The first question I posed is still relevant "Why put the lower cost on the card that hits the yard quicker?" and the second "Why put 3 toughness on a creature who can't block?" I understand some of the quirks of the 2/3 that can't block and I appreciate them (I played in Theros Sealed and faced down some 2/3s that must attack each turn if able).

Getting a card into the yard is not usually considered a drawback, however. Maybe Firebolt isn't the best card to compare it to because it doesn't just go straight to the graveyard as you say. Maybe a better comparison is Vithian Stinger. It does almost half as much as this card and it's still sorcery speed. It still makes me think 4 mana is too cheap.

Having said that: 1, I like that we can have this kind of conversation about these cards. I get tired of the "Meh seems cool NOW RATE MY CARD" kinda stuff. And 2, I'm all for pushing boundaries. You have at least convinced me that it would need to be playtested to see which cost was correct (Though I don't think it's 3 mana ever)

NOW RATE MY CARD
