I'm trying to figure out if that second one is balanced. On one hand, if you have 7 Republicans, it's 4 mana 1/2, which is garbage. On the other hand, you only have 2 Republicans, it's a 9 mana 6/7, which seems... pretty good? idk. And in the middle, if you have like 4 Republicans, it's a 7 mana 4/5, which is pretty mediocre for the cost.

I like the concept, but it seems hard to make good.

e: but it would be the best bling-o-tron pull in the whole world, no doubt

9 mana for a 6/7 is not good because it sits in your hand for the entire game and does nothing when it enters the battlefield.

but don't worry about making cards that are balanced or good

tbf, it's a weapon, so it does 6 damage when it enters the battlefield. maybe on turn 9 weapons in general are not very useful because the only thing worth hitting will hit the face hard, and there's usually enough taunt/soft taunt on the board to make going directly to face unreasonable

and I know a lot of these cards are goofy but unplayable, but i find making goofy but playable cards a fun challenge

Why is the Red Scare an artifact and who is the arbiter of what is a beneficial ability

Also why is it from the quasi-Greek plane of Theros

It's an artifact from the 1950s of course. I just went with the symbol that looked the most like the hammer and sickle.

I don't know anything about balancing a magic expansion, but there's been plenty of 'reasonable' ideas for an unglued style set.

EDIT: http://www.mtgsalvation.com/articles/16051-putting-your-eggs-in-your-basket-designing-a

According to this guy: 306 cards, 42 white, 42 blue, 42 black, 42 red, 42 green, 18 artifact, 38 multicolor, 20 land, 20 basic land. Most of these cards are reasonable enough that you could have a fairly entertaining game out of it.

Why do people keep making Republican's black? Republicans are very obviously White/Red, with Democrats are predominantly blue with a smattering of other colours in their rainbow deck.
