Yeah, I'd be happy if my 1G traded or bounced with his/her 4RR, I don't insist it kills it and survives, but it had better kill it OR survive...<br /><br />I agree, "+1 damage, prevent first damage" would be an good bane ability, one I'd like to use in future, just it doesn't beat Azig.<br /><br />Hm. Maybe remove the number, but make it "deathtouch + prevent all BUT 1 of the damage"??<br /><br />And yeah, I was treating it as if Orcs were a more major part of the set than they usually are (I was really surprised to realise they had their own creature type, and weren't goblins); there's no reason to have a hoser for a minor usually unplayable tribe at all.

But I'm not sure that's the end of the story, because cards which prevent damage entirely can be really swingy, that's one reason why wizards are using less protection. I think it's more fun if the card is *hard* to deal with in an orc deck, but not *that* much harder.<br /><br />Or I'm not sure, is that too finicky, is this about right for a hoser card?<br /><br />That's why I wanted to explore possibilities other than "complete prevention". I don't want to say "my first idea didn't work so I should give up entirely" But I agree, if I can't think of any, I'd have to settle for complete prevention.<br /><br />Anastase: Named card?Jack (cartesiandaemon)https://www.blogger.com/profile/08258267965242039995noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5479847193762153273.post-49295580304958909182016-02-06T22:52:44.220-05:002016-02-06T22:52:44.220-05:00Against Raid Retaliator:
