Cool Card Design of the Day11/16/2015 This is a Petravark unless you build a baloth-tribal deck, when it upgrades to Annex on a stick.
(This post was scheduled. Jay is in Poland pretending to be a Wizard just now.)
It might need to be rare or less efficient. It was totally top-down designed.
Baloths typically have the Beast type, don't they? If this is a Beast and lets you cast Beasts, I'm totally on board.
ReplyDeleteThat would help, since as it is it's very narrow.
DeleteCorrect. Baloth is not its own creature type.
DeleteThat aside, I think the tribal ability is the least appealing part of this card. My reward for going into a narrow tribal theme is... to get conditional mana ramp from 5 to 6-7 lands?
A 5/5 that takes a land for {3}{G}{G} is very pushed, and not in a fun way, in my opinion.
ReplyDeleteAs mentioned above efficient, uncommon land destruction is generally frowned upon. If you don't want to make the stats/cost worse, you could consider making it a drawback ability that must nest in one of your own lands, then you could probably reduce the cost by one and still have a powerful beast-matters card.
