I'd say they could all be static abilities, but the blue one then becomes too good. Of course, that's the one that doesn't combo with firebreathing anyhow.

Oh look, I get to do these cool things. What, you're dead? That's too bad. I think 4 is probably the absolute upper bound on power for such cards, and probably it would be more exciting with a different trigger.<br /><br />Note: I do think this is a good way to make cards that impress Timmy but end up being at most fringe playable in draft: Giant Adephage, Liege of the Tangle, Lord of the Void, ..., but I'm not sure that that is a good target to aim at.Tommy Occhipintihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13495646355536064735noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5479847193762153273.post-82813117297586229512014-12-16T13:23:22.312-05:002014-12-16T13:23:22.312-05:00Victor's Dragon 4WR

The Battalion Mascot is being inspired by its battalion to attack more than organizing your army into a ballista squad. It also wasn't supposed to be a hard 5 CMC 4/4 cycle, just turned out that way for 3 of the 4 which didn't help xDAurahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06816809721370349172noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5479847193762153273.post-86491219916664613032014-12-16T01:29:09.884-05:002014-12-16T01:29:09.884-05:00Red-green could have Cost: Loses flying and gains ...Red-green could have Cost: Loses flying and gains lure target thing UEOT.

Mechanically I think this is close, though my inner Vorthos isn't convinced an allied Dragon will be the thing to organize your army into a ballista squadron.<br /><br />Why's Runescale Dragon bigger?

I do disagree that it feels more angelic than draconic.<br /><br />I don't know that limiting the UR dragon's spells makes it less red, but formally switching to the red exile&cast template is definitely smart.<br /><br />Red is also secondary in fight, but a creature as good at fighting as this still feels green to me. Hmm, if we skip trample, what keyword would work? Vigilance seems strange. Haste is only tertiary in green.

Red doesn't get "damage to attacking or blocking only" except on red-white hybrid cards.<br /><br />Seer could pass as a monoblue sphinx, since it doesn't use red's "exile, cast until eot" fake card draw and blue cares about instants and sorceries just as much as red (see: both Izzet mechanics).<br /><br />Wraith isn't monored due to deathtouch. Black can get plusses on the front end with minuses on the back, but as removal it generally goes for -/-, while red does Flowstone; so good on the dual color with this one.<br /><br />Hunter actually feels like it doesn't need the green now, because red is secondary in trample and monogreen doesn't get big fliers.Jenesishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05356037137564501914noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5479847193762153273.post-81063148804698783832014-12-15T17:05:36.246-05:002014-12-15T17:05:36.246-05:00I like where you're going with this, but now y...I like where you're going with this, but now you point it out, they still feel like they could be more dragon-y...
