Since your opponents get whatever creatures were able to kill a 6/6 dragon back, and you get whatever else died (probably not another 6/6 dragon in Limited). It should be best in some crazy sacrifice loop anyway.

Jules, your abilities work, but there's even less of an indication of those in the art than the pumping. Plus, I really like that this gives a strong incentive to actually cast the commander, instead of just sitting back and letting the ability do all the heavy lifting. While a pain on MTGO, the ability suffers less from the appearance of working on turn 3, because you need to cast Palladia at least once for it to turn on.<br /><br />Finally, it also gives opponents a chance (all be it a slim one) to answer Palladia with a tuck/lose abilities card before the upkeep starts to go to work.Wobbleshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11494097707732649864noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5479847193762153273.post-43039772465898670942013-12-30T04:42:17.769-05:002013-12-30T04:42:17.769-05:00Is there any concern that while Tamashii has a Kam...Is there any concern that while Tamashii has a Kamagawa sounding name, it doesn't match any of the other Kamagawa dragons in terms of size or their' iconic death triggers? <br /><br />Wobbleshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11494097707732649864noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5479847193762153273.post-52331925765146725902013-12-30T04:39:01.895-05:002013-12-30T04:39:01.895-05:00Palladia, Awoken RRGGWW

And because I'd want there to be the "cast from hand" clause, there's too much text for my tastes by then.<br /><br />Let's go with less is more as well as be sold on the fact that this can be one of Johnny's cards.

I see I sand-brown dragon, a strangely earthen color for a race that is usually brightly plumed. That, and the ability I ended up going with, is what brought me to the elemental subtype. I like it when big splashy creatures are two things, it just makes me smile.<br /><br />Even though sun blinds are usually used on White or Red cards, and the rest of the card is so bright, I was more focused on the ground around the dragon which doesn't look like a desert to me, but like a craggy, wasted landscape. Even though there is a giant dragon in the center, it doesn't look like the wastes were burned as there isn't smoke or scorchmarks. Instead it looks like the land is almost eroded away by an unseen magical force. <br /><br />When I think about land I think about Green. When I think about decay I think about Black. I see a painting with a giant, strangely earthen dragon un-making the land around it by its mere austere presence. I imagine a more 'corrosive' magic is at work. And that, more than anything else, is what brought me to Black/Green. It's a giant dragon that, merely by roaring, can corrode the land around it. <br /><br />As far as being a Black/Green Dragon, I agree that is unusual- that's actually why I made it legendary.
