At best that's 3 life and 3 mana to get two cards, and requires you to play a three-colour deck. That seems... really bad! Don't do it, Bernie, it's a trap card!

Nah, it's a pretty good card. Drawing three cards normally costs 2UU, and black draw cards are decent at 3B for the same effect. I wouldn't be shocked if it was run, especially with a new form of true dual land in the current set and the allied colour fetches currently in print.

Yeah but losing 3 life just to use one less mana drawing?

And in another colour, yes. Normally, black still loses the life even at 3B.

The going rate people are pretty satisfied playing is 1B and paying 2 life to draw 2 cards.

That seems really powerful. Too much so for the Republican house.

This is excellent, thematically.

(A friend who knows more about M:tG than I do suggests a more succinct phrasing would be: "You may cast a card in your hand with converted mana cost greater than or equal to target spell. If you do, counter that spell.")

It's in the spirit of old cards with super clunky wordings.

I made a mechanic:





Basically the idea is that if something happens to make the spell you are casting undesirable (usually a counterspell in competitive play) you can "switch positions" and cast the Pivot spell instead. Enchantments also have a "policy" flavour, and making auras better is usually a good thing anyhow and gives the mechanic some versatility.

Also, awhile back someone asked for commons:







Commons are kind of boring :geno:

I went to the trouble of downloading a set editor to make this because all the online ones make split mana look ugly as El Rushbo:

I wanted to try my hand at a common legend. Too complex?

Edit: the original concept was for a hybrid w/b w/b, but there weren't hybrid card borders. Feel free to copy this in hybrid mana if that feels right to you.

Legendary never shows up at common rarity. They try to keep commons as straightforward as possible.

Phyrexian mana may capture the flavour you're going for anyhow, though.



e: It feels wrong to not credit Dees for his work :allears:

It's okay. The phyrexian ethos is a good fit for today's society. I see big things in your future.
