CCDD 091516—Elusive

Cool Card Design of the Day
9/15/2016 - Revisiting the first CCDD posted to this site. I'm still attracted to cards that can help players get real games of Magic, in this case by smoothing out their opening hand. Elusive (originally gamecycling) gives you more chances to draw the cards you need in the early game, by helping you save the cards you want in the late game until later.

Cool Card Design of the Day
9/12/2016 - 'Modular' is the wrong word because it already means something in Magic. Ignore that. (Although these do play well with modular creatures.)

The concept applies though. Well, okay, the normal English version of the concept does; the Magic meaning is also already taken and means something else (although this is a somewhat modular mechanic).

I'm not helping. It's a weird mechanic, so I'll just show you. Then we'll talk.
