CCDD 091718—Patient Tutor

Cool Card Design of the Day
I think this was top-down from the art. I recognize that the lineage of cards from Demonic Tutor mean this would need a name tweak.

Nothing terribly innovative here, but a real solid uncommon three-drop for white.

  1. Fine design, but seems incredibly punishing against most aggro decks (especially red ones).

    1. Agreed. I think 2 power is probably over the line here

    2. At uncommon, 2WW or 2/3 seems more appropriate.

    3. +1 for 2/3. At that point Aerial Responder probably compares favorably with it.

    4. I'm leaning towards 2WW and/or 2/3. The card's power increases as the number of tall creatures in your deck increases. In any case, I really want to play this card! It seems like a blast!

  2. In the spirit of Boros, rename him "Patient Mentor." Or is it gauche to give a creature a name that overlaps with a mechanic?

    1. There are 16 Mentors in Magic, I think that ship has sailed.

      Teacher or Instructor would also work.

    2. I was going to say "Patient Teacher". On any plane besides Ravnica, "Mentor" works just as well. (Magic already has 16 creatures with the word "mentor" in the name!)
