Cool Card Design of the Day
The way that Baral, Chief of Compliance makes all your spells cheaper rather than just your counterspells got me thinking about a card dedicated to improving your removal rather than doing it incidentally.
Does this reduce the cost of Lightning Strike? Will players’ intuition match the correct answer to that question? I like Jay’s wording because it’s unambiguous, but I could be persuaded if you think most people will get it right.
Skelterous Scourmage RR Creature - Orc Wizard Whenever you cast an offensive spell, ~ deals 1 damage to each of that spell’s targets. (Offensive spells are spells that target your opponents and/or their creatures.) 2/2
Frenzied Chorister 1RW Creature - Minotaur Cleric Whenever you cast an offensive spell, creatures you control get +1/+1 until end of turn. 2/3
Spirited Exhumist 1BB Creature - Human When you cast a necromantic spell, create a 2/2 black Zombie creature token. (Necromantic spells are black spells that target cards in graveyards or creatures your opponents control. "Well, _I_ pronounce it Eye-gor." 2/2
It's hard to make batching worthwhile. This is just as flavorful:
Spirited Exhumist 1BB Creature - Cyclops Whenever you cast a black spell that targets cards in graveyards or creatures your opponents control, create a 2/2 black Zombie creature token. "Well, I pronounce it Eye-gor." 2/2

Even more specifically, you could do:
ReplyDeleteAssassin Assistant 1B
Creature - Human Assassin
Spells you cast that would destroy a creature cost 1 less to cast.

Uhh, it's a Young Frankenstein reference. Not a cyclops reference. One of the best movies ever made!
DeleteThis feels like it would be a great card to put Extort on if we ever needed an attractive Orzhov rare!
ReplyDeleteOoh.
