Up: Ehhhh. Parasitic A + B needs a good payoff and good flavor, usually (I'm think the Empires cycle and the Bogbrew Witch cycle). This is neither of those, unfortunately, so it's a bit of a miss. You need to cast one copy of a card you have at most 4 copies of in your deck so it can be remotely close to on par with the average 2/2 for 1B, and your payoff for the unlikely case of getting two Exhumes is... a 3/3. When you could be reanimating something with those Exhume(s) instead. No. Something like the below example might be better: Keeper of the Balance  Creature - Cleric  Lifelink Whenever you cast a spell named Exhume, you may sacrifice CARDNAME. If you do, target player sacrifices a creature. 1/2
Anyways, talk aside: Sorin, Loathed of Innistrad   Legendary Planeswalker - Sorin   : Until end of turn, CARDNAME becomes a 4/4 blue and black Vampire creature with flying and lifelink. He's still a planeswalker. Prevent all damage that would be dealt to him this turn.  : You get an emblem with "Whenever a creature you control attacks alone, draw a card unless defending player discards a card."  : Gain control of up to three target permanents. SL: [3] To push the "loners" theme in Avacyn restored. Next: Futureshift Emmara Tandris |

An up is constructive feedback for the post above you (hence why it's an "up"), which I think my write-up is. If something is confusing or unfair, just let me know and I'll address it at a reasonable time.

"up" is shorthand for "comment on above card" and not "positive comment on above card". if you bristle at negative feedback then what are you even doing here m'dude

I got that, but if you look at the comments everyone else has shared, it's still mostly positive, with only an occasional "maybe it should do this instead." Yoshi's comment tore into my card. I resent your assumptions about what I can and cannot take, please leave your assumptions to yourself. |

I resent your assumptions about what I can and cannot take, please leave your assumptions to yourself. it was constructive critique that accurately addressed the card's issues, namely reliance on drawing a specific card and weak power level. it was constructive critique that you then went on to implicitly call insufficient as a comment because it wasn't positive enough. if you don't want people to make assumptions about your tolerance of negative commentary, don't exhibit intolerance to negative commentary |

Up: Very good mirror of the original, with the Vampire/emblem/get 3 things pattern intact. The emblem seems very powerful though, especially in multiples.  maybe? Emmara’s Amulet  Artifact Prevent all damage that would be dealt to creatures you control.   ,  : Create a 1/1 white Soldier creature token with lifelink. Next: Planeshift Reprocess |

I'll just point out that Yoshi's critique is on the really polite end of the spectrum of critique one could get in custom magic land and leave it at that. UP: Clever use of Exalted colors and keeping Sorin very similar in use while making him work in another color. No real complaints here. Emmara, Conclave's Soul Legendary Creature - Elf Spirit Whenever a creature dies, you may create a token that's a copy of that creature. , : Populate. (Create a token that’s a copy of a creature token you control.)4/4 "Ravnica outlived one apocalypse of otherworlders, and it shall outlive another."Tried to do an unusual take on the token production while remaining sufficiently Selesnya. Next: Futureshift Hellhole RatsEDIT: Ninja'd, see gluestick248's post instead. |

UP: Assuming you meant to say "prevent all damage that would be dealt to creature tokens" rather than just creatures, this is incredibly undercosted, but a pretty good idea overall. (I mean Emmara costs 7, and your artifact costs 3 with additional upside.)  Next: Futureshift Beguiler of Wills |

Tesagk: To be honest I hadn't even looked at half the ups for my cards (I made them and was done with them why should I care what anyone else thought, guess I've acclimated to internet thinking), but looking back at least 2 of my ups are quite critical.
Up: It seems quite a bit overcosted considering at best it is a counterspell that counters only counterspells with scry: 1, but that assessment is based upon it being a rare. It does make me have to ask if a card is removed from the stack but a spell is not what does that mean (this might make up for the cost?)? Also, and understand I'm pretty sure I've already crossed this line, this probably crossed the line from being a planeshift to being an alternate. That said I really like the flavor of the card, the titles of counterspells are often my favorite titles ( Denied) I see the future of Beguiler of Wills going two ways so why not a split card.
I will definitely look at the Up comment on this card, I shot in the dark on both the CMC and wording on this as I couldn't find anything similar in gatherer even though I'm sure something like this has been done somewhere before.

Up: The wording is slightly off on both sides. I think you'd word the GW side as "Each player gains control of all permanents and spells they own. For each of those spells, their owners may choose new targets for them." (from Brand and Redirect) The BR side could just be "Each player exiles all spells and permanents they control but don't own." I'd like this more if the two sides were a little bit more different - generally, split cards are better when both sides work in different situations. This does still work balance-wise, but I'm not sure that it's going to be that great with regards to gameplay. I'm also uncertain of whether BR can counter spells like that, as niche as this case may be. I do like the flavor component going on here, though. Electric Reaction Instant (Nonexistent mana costs can't be paid.) Likeness  (You may exile this card from your hand for its likeness cost. When you cast a spell with the same types and colors as this spell, cast this spell from exile without paying its mana cost.)CARDNAME deals 3 damage to any target. That was hard, but fun. Next: Timeshift Boros Cluestone. |

Up: Interesting take, but I think it’s just Bolts 5-8 in every burn deck. I do want to see more Likeness, to see what else can be done with it. Tajic, Mazerunner Creature — Human Soldier First strike, menace Battalion — Whenever Tajic, Mazerunner and at least two other creatures attack, put a +1/+1 counter on each attacking creature you control. Sacrifice an artifact named Boros Cluestone: Put two +1/+1 counters on Tajic. 2/2 Next: Futureshift Baron Sengir |

Post by Jartis on Oct 12, 2018 17:56:31 GMT
Up: It does directly reference the Cluestone, but it doesn't really reference the mechanics at all. So I guess it works, it's just not what I would have expected to see. Duke Sengir  Legendary Creature - Vampire Flying Whenever a creature dealt damage by Duke Sengir this turn dies, put that creature onto the battlefield under your control. It’s a vampire in addition to its other types. : Other vampires you control gain indestructible until end of turn. 5/5 Next: Alternate Dack Fayden |

Up: Seems a solid card, although personally I always figured the Baron was deposed rather than gaining power.
Next: Futureshift Little Girl but don't forget that she can become anything she wants  |

Post by ZephyrPhantom on Oct 13, 2018 4:18:04 GMT
UP: I feel like if you take away any mention of artifacts, it kind of stops being Dack flavorfully and maybe even a bit mechanically. The card is mechanically sound and the ultimate is a cool way to promote running other colors to target things besides creatures but I feel like this could be any Black planeswalker and not necessarily Dack. Also, for what it's worth, I'm a really big fan of your usage of the old border, impspiritguide . So Little Girl is blonde and can become a distinguished hero, right? Sure, let's roll with that.  For a while I considered it just flat out making it Samus Aran, but I think it's more in the spirit of MTG to do a homage instead. Next: His ability's a real mess, but his flavor's actually pretty believable, so Timeshift M'Odo, the Gnarled Oracle. |

Post by gateways7 on Oct 14, 2018 13:55:15 GMT
UP: That third ability is a super-interesting idea, especially because all the equipment fall off after Lithel stops being a creature, meaning you need to have the ability to both grow counters with the second ability, but also fire her up and then use a bunch of counters at once to make her a Voltron monster. The abilities are in the wrong order, but that's not a big issue.  Next: Futureshift Mindslaver |

Post by gluestick248 on Oct 14, 2018 18:08:29 GMT
Up: Mirrors M’Odo very nicely. 3 mana seems right to cast, and the only thing I’d change is exiling the Cauldron instead of sacrificing it. Bolas’ Slaveminder Creature — Human Wizard If an opponent would gain control of a creature you don’t control, gain control of that creature instead. If an opponent would control a player, you control that player instead. , : Choose one: * Gain control of target creature * You control target opponent until your next turn. Exile Bolas’ Slaveminder. 3/5 Next: Alternate Phage, the Untouchable |

Up: I love the added versatility. The effects are powerful, but so expensive or niche that I don't think they break the card. Especially if it's mythic rare, as I would assume.  Next: Timeshift Naked Singularity |

Post by gluestick248 on Oct 16, 2018 15:11:34 GMT
Up: A Singularity you don’t have to keep paying for. Wonderful. But it does match the ability and fun level of the original, so it’s a fitting design. Mystical Forge Artifact You may pay  instead of paying equip costs. , : Search your library for an Equipment card, reveal it, and put it into your hand. Then shuffle your library.

If it wasn't a silverbordered card I'd have included an ability stating something to the effect of "If ~this~ would be sacrificed then exile it rather then placing it into the graveyard.", as it is I didn't think that was necessary.
Next: Pastshift/Timeshift (because futureshifting it would require that all magic ceases to work so therefore it has no futureshift) Nevinyrral's Disk |

^^ If Dominaria can survive the Sylex Blast I'm sure magic will be ok. I think this counts as a futureshift? Nevinyrral's Ruinous Blast   Sorcery Destroy all nonland permanents. Suspend 1 - The gods do not protect fools. Fools are protected by more capable fools.I'd like to see an alternate Yixlid Jailer. |

|

Post by Jartis on Oct 18, 2018 21:29:59 GMT
UP: Cost on par with Planar Cleansing, though considering how cheap you can get Hour of Revelation for, I'd have thought the Suspend cost would be lower and just take a few more turns instead. Either way, it works, and I like the flavor of requiring colorless mana. Yixlid Torturer  Creature - Zombie Wizard Whenever an ability on a card in a graveyard is activated or triggered, Yixlid Torturer deals 1 damage to that card’s controller. 2/1 Next: Timeshift Ice Cauldron |

Up: I like the ‘punisher’ version of the Jailer. Mono- Zombies are a bit weird, but definitely not unheard of. Mizzium Thermoregulator Artifact Exile a spell you control: Put a charge counter on Mizzium Thermoregulator. Remove three charge counters from ~: Add . You may spend this mana to cast spells from exile. Next: Alternate Clone |
|

Post by gateways7 on Oct 19, 2018 2:16:19 GMT
Up: The idea of changing the ability to cast one card from exile at a time to doing multiple is a cool idea, but the increase in flexibility doesn't make up for the lack of power, as well as the fact that all you're doing is delaying spells until later.  Next: Futureshift Titania, Protector of Argoth |

NOT AN ENTRY (Sorry don't have time this morning).
Up: Nevinyrral's Ruinous Blast - good take given the now altered history of Nevinnyral. Had to look it up, the original disc didn't blow up it simply removed all mana from the surrounding area (rumor was the un-playtested version put lands in the grave as well), aka no magic, no spells, no artifact, no futureshifted cards.
Up: Mizzium Thermoregulator, as written this is ok. Perhaps even undercosted as suggested by gateways7, but bear in mind the card never gives you the ability to cast the spells you exile with this artifact. On the other hand if you added the "You may cast that card for as long as it remains exiled." to the first ability or even changed the second ability's ending to "You may spend this mana to cast a spell from exile. After activating this ability you may cast the spells you exiled with this artifact." then it is way undercosted, I could almost guarantee it would be restricted in Vintage (it would be continuously free mana on an artifact costed under which is small for Vintage). If you added "You may cast that card using only mana from ~this~ as long as it remains exiled." then I'm not sure where it falls on the spectrum. |

Up: I like this a lot as a way to give cloning of some sort to mono-white - I could see this in Future Sight, actually. It could stand to be a bit cheaper - even if one considers that you could copy noncreature tokens and enemy tokens, I still think this could be - after all Wake the Reflections does cost . Titania, Reshaper of Argoth  Legendary Creature - Elemental  When CARDNAME enters the battlefield, return X lands you control to their owner's hands, then you may put X land cards you own from outside the game on the battlefield tapped. Landfall - Whenever a land enters the battlefield under your control, create a 1/1 green Plant creature token. 1/1 Next: Alternate Sentinel Spider |
