And like most communication, it isn't a problem unless people don't understand what is trying to be conveyed. As has been demonstrated in numerous official playtest cards, cards are rarely in a final templating until they've passed through development.metaghosthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18301191638894756414noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5479847193762153273.post-4967393475569746452011-07-16T11:31:09.593-04:002011-07-16T11:31:09.593-04:00Anonymous and Metaghost, I'm not offended to h...Anonymous and Metaghost, I'm not offended to have "abysmal wording skills,", but I am curious what specific instances you're talking about and how you have done differently.

Not many Devour cards had a super-solid effect in my eyes and they never made it out of casual stuff besides maybe Mycoloth.<br />I like the first one the best. Much simpler than Protean Hydra. While I didn't realize this at first, I'm glad we have the green iconic creature although hopefully they get more constructed playable as time goes on. No one wants hydras to be branded the "unplayable mythic" of the set.Benjammnnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5479847193762153273.post-32492471423755946682011-07-15T14:25:27.535-04:002011-07-15T14:25:27.535-04:00Devour got my vote for worst mechanic in the past ...Devour got my vote for worst mechanic in the past few years.<br /><br />So many feel bad moments.metaghosthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18301191638894756414noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5479847193762153273.post-41613435502656637862011-07-15T13:44:52.809-04:002011-07-15T13:44:52.809-04:00Why wouldn't I, metaghost?
