Cool Card Design of the Day
10/5/2016 - Here are three Giant Growth variants that care about the targets starting size.

  1. I like the last two, but not Giant-Size. That's blue. The other two, though, I like.

  2. I love giant-size! Such a green card. Would be silly for it to be blue.

    1. Do you think Wings of Velis- Vel wasn't Blue? This effect is super Blue. Giant-Size is also bad, which makes me want Blue to have it over Green, and I don't think two colors need access to it.

    2. I'd want to see it in blue more often than green, but it's very creature-focused, and about size, so I don't think green is unreasonable. It's definitely of less value to green than blue, that's fair.

    3. My first post had a /contention tag to show it was tongue-in-cheek, but I think the javascript ate it.

      I actually do think that Wings of Velis-Vel is probably okay in blue. I think Spectral Flight is an egregious color break. I think Diminish makes more sense in White or Black than blue. I think Pongify and its variants are absurd to argue as "blue". I think Polymorph is explicitly green.

      I have a lot of contentious ideas! But I think limiting what colors can do leads to a more fun game in the long run, and MaRo's take on "polymorphing magic is blue" is misguided. (But that's just my opinion.)

  3. Strength for the Strong just begs to grant trample as well.

    1. Yes! If I'm pumping a 9 power creature getting an extra card is lack luster

    2. Might of Titans does grant trample, Wobbles.

      I was thinking Strength for the Strong is dangerous enough as a mana-less combat trick. Players can cast it on creatures that already have trample if they prefer.
