Success! posting rolls on here will go through the same sequence as the PMs, but won't "reset" with each comment.
EDIT=> Never mind it just reverted on me. Back to the drawing board. -
Jan 10, 2012Oculus posted a message on Best Pulls at a Draft or EventProbably the M11 prerelease. I got crazy lucky at the constructed - Inferno Titan, Sun Titan, Frost Titan, foil Primeval Titan together with Leyline of the Void, Chandra Nalaar and Protean Hydra. Craziest set of boosters ever.Posted in: KIllerKongo Blog

S'pose so. I'm just wary of making it too much better than Ball Lightning.
Ignifrax (2/R)(2/R)(2/R)
Creature - Elemental {R}
Trample
When Ignifrax enters the battlefield, if red mana was spent to cast it, it gains haste and "at the beginning of your end step, sacrifice this creature".
These behemoths of coal and ash will wander peacefully for centuries, until the smallest flame awakens their true nature.
6/6
Reclaimed Relic 1(2/G)
Artifact {U}
T: Add G to your mana pool.
Time and nature had ground the metal to worthless rust, but the magic remained intact.
Into the Broken Sun X(2/W)(2/W)
Instant {U}
Exile target creature with converted mana cost X.
IIW: Commander 2015's commanders.
Traumatic Backlash 2BR
Sorcery {R}
Each player sacrifices two creatures, then loses life equal to the total power of creatures he or she sacrificed this way.
The bigger they are, the harder they fall on you.
Isn't this just a worse Sire of Insanity?
You control a Boros Lawmaker. Getting someone else to judge you would be redundant.
That's true, multiplayer is a self-balancing environment in a way. I'm not sure that matters enough though - either it drops too early for everyone to deal with it, or it drops late enough that it doesn't matter.
Oops. I'm sure he'll live.
Dual entry just in case:
Fevered Hate R
Sorcery {U}
Strive - Fevered Hate costs 1R more to cast for each target beyond the first.
Any number of target creatures each get +2/-2 until end of turn.
IIW: Bearded things.
I feel like I just got punched in the eye by a rules book. Assuming there's a way to word these in a way that works, they're cute designs. Limit Remover Machination is an agressive body if you don't draft any bombs (or pick it first and get a 4/4 for 0). Doomsday Machine will always be over the curve (assuming an 8-man draft, it'll be an 8/16 trample for 8 on its best day), no to mention multiples. They're adorable ideas but need a big rethink.
Nice, but potential memory issues. Minor issues mind you, and none that are fixed easily. "If you voted this turn, ..."?
Despotic Constable is a little too close to Bite of the Black Rose for my liking. It's very powerful though, especially considering it's almost always a one-sided Infest in one-on-one.
Seems fine. I'm sure there's something degenerate to be done, but
Cancel++. Honestly it might be better to say "Counter target spell you don't control. Destroy all creatures being targeted by that spell". It's a cool design though, takes me back to Teferi's Response.
I'm not entirely sure this is how Parley is meant to be used but I'll let it slide. Not so much Phyrexian Arena as it is a worse Well of Ideas. Cool effect, but could use some testing in terms of cost. One could argue it's more at home in blue/black, although red is still feasible.
*sprays you with water*
Taking away players' decisions is bad. You're taking an interactive mechanic and saying it's no longer interactive for two players.
Oh, and 2B for a 3/3 intimidate is also brutal. Cost more or be more fragile please.
Funnily enough, Paliano's Finest is exactly what I was looking for.
Grandiose Illusionist is super cute too. Unblockable might be a touch too brutal but other than that it's spot-on.
This will almost always be last-picked, and it almost always will be hilarious. The fact is that no matter how bad conspiracies are, they're free to use. I'd love to see a control player pick this up in order to play Counterspell-for-hire.
As much as I hate this being those colors, it's probably the most suitable. If anything, blue can probably be cut. I recognize that Dethrone was thrown in for extra intrigue, but it detracts from the main mechanic.
Woo the Grixis control deck now gets free, instant-speed Pelakka Wurms turn 3. If you still had to pay for it it *might* be balanced. It's a very cool idea though.
As much as I love the card, the costs make me uneasy.
If a curious 1/1 for 3 with flying is okay (let's say a Sturmgeist fixed at 1/1), then a spellshaper that makes them for 2U is okay. If you don't have to discard a card, it should cost more. But as soon as this dies, the tokens stop being curious, which makes it less valuable. 1U 1/2 with 3U activation? Hm.
WINNER: Atogaholic
HM: CC, ManyCookies
Next: Strive
Oh god I was just about to waste a lot of time wasn't I. Thanks for keeping track of this in my absence.
The original intention was creatures, but as long as it's something that would fit into the setting I'm not fussed.
This gave me an idea too cute to waste.
Muzzio's Mandate 2U
Sorcery {R}
Will of the Council - Starting with you, each player votes for progress or nostalgia. If progress gets the most votes, you may put an artifact card from your hand onto the battlefield. If nostalgia gets the most votes or is tied for the most votes, you may return an artifact card from your graveyard to the battlefield.
I like the idea of the restrictions, but there's a bit too much overlap on the creature types. Having both races and classes on the list is unnecessarily restrictive.
Judging Criteria:
Concept (X/5) - Is it interesting?
Elegance (X/5) - Is it aesthetic?
Development (X/5) - Is it balanced?
Flavor (X/5) - Is it delicious?
SelesnyaNewLife (13/20)
GGCrono (15/20)
Jimmy Groove (19/20)
Ninja Caterpie (13/20)
NVRBLIND (17/20)
1 - Jimmy Groove
2 - NVRBLIND
3 - GGCrono
While this card could possibly be red, you've really shoehorned it in. Barring lack of precedent, I wouldn't call the first ability red (Auriok Windwalker, Leonin Shikari), and the anthem effect gives no reason for this to be red. If the bonus was +2/+0 I'd be more inclined to say it's fine (except for the part where it's still way too good).
Creature - Human Cleric {R}
At the beginning of your upkeep, put a 1/1 white Human creature token onto the battlefield.
, , Sacrifice three Humans: Put a 5/5 black Demon creature token onto the battlefield.
Father Moric's followers never realized his true allegiances until it was too late.
2/3
Vithian Horde 2BR
Creature - Human Warrior {R}
Trample
When Vithian Horde is dealt combat damage by a creature, that creature's controller puts a 2/2 black Zombie creature token onto the battlefield.
Their desperation drove them ever further into Bant, unwittingly dragging a piece of Grixis with them.
6/6
Writ-Priest of Ephara WU
Creature -Human Advisor {M}
Lifelink, protection from creatures
Writ-Priest of Ephara deals damage to players in the form of that player drawing cards.
Writ-Priest of Ephara deals damage to creatures and planeswalkers in the form of that permanent's controller drawing cards.
4/4
Hydroform Agent 2UG
Creature - Human Mutant {C}
Evolve
1: Hydroform Agent gets -1/+1 until end of turn.
It helps to be flexible when working for the Simic.
2/2
IIW: Paliano's finest
Enchantment {R}
Whenever a nontoken creature dies, you may put a 1/1 green Saproling creature token onto the battlefield.
BG, Sacrifice X Saprolings: Put target creature card with converted mana cost X from a graveyard onto the battlefield under your control.
Mire Predator 4GG
Creature - Crocodile {U}
Protection from black
When Mire Predator enters the battlefield, it fights target creature you don't control.
3/4
Mundivorus 3RRR
Creature - Elemental {M}
Trample, Haste
Sacrifice a permanent: Mundivorus gets +1/+1 until end of turn.
6/1
IIW: Things with beards.
Earth, Warrior, 2/8
EDIT: No human...Oread?
Earthen-Stance Paragon 4W
Creature - Nymph Warrior {U}
3R: Until end of turn, Earthen-Stance Paragon assigns combat damage equal to its toughness rather than its power.
A mountain would be easier to move. A landslide would be easier to stop.
2/8
The intention was to copy things not necessarily in play at the time (think Nevermaker), but in essence yes.
Matca Champion 2RG
Creature - Human Warrior {R}
Whenever a creature enters the battlefield under an opponent's control, Matca Champion gets +1/+1 until end of turn.
1R, T: Matca Champion fights target creature you don't control.
"Welcome to the jungle, we got fun and games!"
2/3
Minds Unfettered RW
Enchantment {U}
Spells that target players or other spells cost 2 more to cast.
"We don't need no thought control!"
Ring of Fire 2RR
Enchantment {R}
At the beginning of your end step, put a burn counter on Ring of Fire, then Ring of Fire deals damage equal to the number of burn counters on it to each creature.
When there are no creatures on the battlefield, sacrifice Ring of Fire.
"I went down, down, down, and the flames went higher..."
IIW: Oppressively junky.
