I definitely like the old version more.

I felt the old one was a bit too wordy, but I cleaned up its templating. I think I agree



PMush Perfect posted:

This one's just straight-up busted.

Why yes, I would like to cast Lightning Bolt/Shock/Faithless Looting/Lava Spike/Goblin Grenade 5 times for 5 mana.

I don't play much competitive so it can be hard for me to tell if its broken. I guess its:
- You can use the ability when the card hits the table.
- Since you can use the graveyard, you get a free extra use out of it if its in your hand
- Four (five) castings is alot
- Even tho its expensive, there are too many ways to cheat the card onto the battlefield, so the cost alone can't justify something that powerful.


I will make a single attempt to fix it.



Its probably still broke as gently caress tho. If so, oh well, I will move on rather than salvage it

Would -1/-0 be more workable?

I thought these were too complex for uncommon, but mana-fixing rocks might be pointless at rare?

ungulateman posted:

Also the way they're currently worded you only need one colored mana symbol of any of those colors to turn them on, which makes them even better than you probably intended. (Compare the multicolored gods' wording to see what I mean.)

I think changing 'is' to 'are' technically fixes the issue, but it's confusingly worded enough that you might want to write out '...devotion to A, to B and to C are at least one'. to avoid misinterpretation.

You are very correct. Thank you for helping me out


TheChirurgeon posted:

Even with -1/-0 it's way too strong--that effect costs 3U on a blue enchantment where that's all it does. Also, these are all significant upgrades over the banners/obelisks.

I've changed the esper version. Its probably still too strong.

Could this more easily be read as "If enchanted player would draw a card, instead they draw the second card of their library" or am I missing something?

I have no idea. I've never seen text for drawing from anywhere but the top or bottom of the library, so I figured it wasn't supported

I feel like you could probably draw the second card of your library but even if not, "When Enchanted Player draws a card, instead that player puts the second from the top card of their library into their hand" has 99% of the same functionality

I think this is a good change. Thanks for you help!

If you're using it as a 5 color mana rock, you're not gonna get very far with it. Its important that it steals EVERY mana ability

So you can generate mana without tapping it:


Then tap it for alot of mana:


While it also gives you free mana:


Some mana abilities have beneficial riders:


or gently caress it, just go infinite:



There's alot of pitfalls tho. Alot of mana abilities refer to the card by its own name, and while we'd copy those abilities, I don't think stuff like this could be used:


So it would probably be confusing as hell.

I don't have any clue if its actually worth bothering exiling stuff and also killing yourself to get it.

E: actually braid of fire isn't a Mana ability, it's a cost!

Thanks for the clarifications, guys.

Small update: removed the "twice" clause because it wasn't really needed
Also I'm stealing the art from Naked Singularity because it captures what I'm creating and because that card is dumb:


Also made a non-insane version:


I can't get colorless mana to show up in my editor :( Apparently I need to download an update but it isn't clear which one I need..

Top down designs around this subgenre's tropes are encouraged: pick a mark, assemble a crew, scope the joint, get in and get out, and get away with the loot.

- assemble crew
- scope the joint
- get away with the loot

Could a single card encompass an entire heist story?

So you can cast spells from that hand indefinitely? Also, name a land spell.

I think the less ambiguous wording "you may cast any number of nonland cards revealed this way"

What you've written is the same as what's on mind's desire or yawgmoth's will, just without a duration, so the expectation is that it functions similarly. I'm not actually sure what specifically your effect as written would mean, it just feels more like those sorts of effects.

Yeah you're probably right that it could be clearer. Stuff like Talent of the Telepath uses "among them" which is probably what it should be changed to.
