CCDD 092415—Traveling Companion

Cool Card Design of the Day
9/24/2015 - Traveling Companion is a bit like Hamlet Captain or Wild Beastmaster, boosting another attacker for free, but risking itself in the process. A much simpler Druid's Familiar; less powerful but more attractively costed. A more daring Kithkin Daggerdare.

CCDD 092315—Gut Reaction

Cool Card Design of the Day
9/23/2015 - Gut Reaction is a red counterspell in the same style as Driven Ransacking. Okay, so it never counters a spell, but it is purely reactionary. It's more about exploring red's response to other wizards' magic. Red doesn't know how to undo what they've done, but it can react quickly: Sometimes cleverly and otherwise violently.

Without further ado, here's our list of candidate mechanics:

CCDD 092215—Hire/Hidden Informant

Cool Card Design of the Day
9/22/2015 - Hidden Informant was an experiment in top-down design that showed negative results. That's not a failed experiment, though, because that data led to something positive.
