Up: it is pretty balanced, but I don't think it should be able to blow up lands.

When Clumsy Giant dies it deals 8 damage to each attacking or blocking creature.

Attachment DeletedUp: While I see how it fits, it still feels like you could have pushed it in a different direction and opened up the design a bit. That being said, the card works. Not sure if it's a common, probably would cut either a point of p/t or a keyword, but it works. Old: Instant or sorcery. New: Double sided.

Up: Steep costs for potentially devastating effects. I'm not sure where artifacts come into the equation, or if they're even necessary, since they just make the thresholds nearly impossible to hit, especially when combined with the mana necessary. Would I play it in every deck? No. Would I build a deck around it? Absolutely. Empty Mind   Sorcery  Kicker  (You may pay an additional as you cast this spell.) Target player puts the top X cards of their library into the graveyard. If Empty Mind was kicked, exile it as it resolves, then return it to the battlefield transformed under your control. // Living Memory  Creature - Illusion Whenever Living Memory attacks, you may cast target card in a graveyard as though it had flash, and you may spend mana as though it were mana of any color to cast it. 5/5 Old: Double sided. New: Advisor (Creature Type) |

Up: The idea is good, but if it was a creature with a kicker if milling you wouldn’t need the second side. That being said, playing something from anyone’s graveyard is really cool, especially if you can load up that graveyard with goodies. Trusted Counselor  Creature — Human Advisor When Trusted Counselor enters the battlefield, you become the monarch. ,  : The monarch draws a card. Then, if you’re not the monarch, transform Trusted Counselor. 2/2 // Traitorous Saboteur Creature — Human Advisor , : Target creature the monarch controls attacks this turn if able. 3/4 Old: Creature — Advisor New: 7 power |

Up: That's a nice flavour homerun. Love it - probably balanced, but I might make the tap to draw cost 1U instead. Great Advocate   Creature - Giant Advisor Trample Whenever CARDNAME enters the battlefield or attacks, if you have less than seven cards in your hand, draw cards equal to the difference. 7/7 Old: 7+ power. New: Uncommon. |

UP: Nice green/blue creature. It has the power to attack lots, the abilities to make you want to attack lots in Trample and Card draw, and a cost that's fitting for these effects+power/toughness. Valley Wurm 
Creature - Wurm  Trample When ~ enters the battlefield or dies, you may search your library for a basic land card, reveal it, put it into your hand, then shuffle your library. Ottelpeak is across Sun Valley. If you don't see Sun Valley, be careful of what you're walking on. -excerpt from Kaberon Travel-guide7/7 OLD: Uncommon NEW: Destroys itself for benefit |

Up: Hard to argue with a Wurm. They're big, they do green things, and they do them well. Druid of the Cycle   Creature - Zombie Elf Druid Put a -1/-1 counter on Druid of the Cycle: Add one mana of any color. Whenever a creature you control dies, you may remove a -1/-1 counter from Druid of the Cycle. When Druid of the Cycle dies, add one mana of any color for each -1/-1 counter on it. 1/2 Old: Destroys itself for benefit New: Legendary |

Up: I think it's actually too good? From where I'm sitting it looks like "Spend three mana in the form of , get four mana back". I'm not experienced enough to know exactly how you can feed a mana engine this way, but I'm positive it exists. Probably a graveyard recursion thing.
Mantle of Kruphix Legendary Enchantment Artifact Creatures you control have hexproof. , : Draw X cards, then discard X cards, where X is the number of cards in your hand. Activate this ability only once each turn.
Just another draw engine for ol' Kruph. Nothin' fancy. They can't all be the Bident of Thassa.  Old: Legendary New: Prowess |

Up: the “only once each turn” is weird on a ability, but otherwise it is a very on-theme card for Kruphix. Might be just a bit too good in reanimator decks or with Thought Reflection. Mara, Heart of the Storm  Legendary Creature — Elemental Prowess Sacrifice ~: Add an amount of mana in any combination of and equal to Mara’s power. Draw a card. 0/4 [An unintended feature of the prowess is you can use Auras like Unstable Mutation to pump power as well] Old: Prowess New: Cares about artifacts |

Up: A really fun card that I would love to build around. I'm not the greatest judge of balance, but at first glance I think it sits in a really good spot, power-wise. Jeskai Record-Keeper Creature - Human Monk Prowess (Whenever you cast a noncreature spell, this creature gets +1/+1 until end of turn.) Whenever an artifact enters the battlefield, you may draw a card. You have no maximum hand size. 2/3 Old: Cares about artifacts New: Will of the Council or Council's Dilemma |

Up: You know, this is a super-charged Vedalken Archmage, right? I think it should cost and only check on artifacts entering under your control. Unwire Srocery Council’s dilemma — Destroy target artifact. Starting with you, each player votes for blast or copy. For each blast vote, Unwire deals damage to each opponent equal to that artifact's converted mana cost. For each copy vote, create a token that’s a copy of that artifact.

I don't think we've ever had am Aura with a Council ability. It's fun and exciting! Though, it is perhaps a bit undercosted given it has a bit of versatility to it. Curse of Martyrdom Enchantment - Aura Curse Enchant player Creatures enchanted player controls must block if able. Prevent all damage dealt by creatures enchanted player controls while blocking. Old: 3 abilities New: Cares about lands |

Heck of a card, this is. White curses are always so interesting to me, and what you've produced is no exception. Easy to splash in to, and a force to be reckoned with. The target player has to choose between swinging in and taking damage from your counteroffensive on your next turn or staying put and feebly blocking what they can. Any card that puts an opponent in a real dilemma like this is a win in my book. Hungering Expanse  Enchantment Whenever you pay life, you may pay . If you do, search your library for a land card and put it onto the battlefield tapped. Pay 2 life: Put a -1/-1 counter on target creature you don't control. Activate this ability only once each turn. Old: Cares about lands New: Phyrexian mana |

Post by Flo00 on Apr 4, 2019 21:39:02 GMT
Up: Repeatable searching for any land is really powerful. This should only search basics. I like how you combined phyrexian cost with colored cost on the card. This way you can use a part of it in every color but the land search only in green. Neat idea. I guess it should be . Those are only two abilities and not three right? Yert, Scourge of the Dross   Legendary Artifact Creature - Vampire Horror First strike Sorcery spells cost  more to cast for each land in it’s controller’s graveyard. 6/5 Yes, that's red on purpose, since land destruction is primary in red but the ability felt more black to me. If you play him as a commander you can use red spells. Story-wise I just guess the Phyrexians stiched him back together somehow after finding his remains. ( This article doesn't say it but Yert was ripped apart by Glissa teleporting into him. On purpose. One of my favourite moments in the original Mirrodin storyline.) Old: Phyrexian mana New: Noncreature artifact |

Up: I mean, I don't see any glaring issues. Not sure how often that ability is going to come into play without the deck being built around it with lots of land destruction and/or mill, both of which tend to be unfun to play against. Still, seems balanced. 8/10 Compleation Chamber   Artifact Pay 2 life: Add  . , Pay 2 life: Add one mana of any color. Old: Noncreature artifact New: Counters (the object, not the action)

Up: I’m assuming you remove a counter for colored mana. It’s a clean, simple design. Growth Zone Enchantment Creatures you control enter the battlefield with an additional +1/+1 counter on them. Old: nonland, nonartifact New: hexproof or indestructible |

Post by Jartis on Apr 24, 2019 7:08:03 GMT
Up: This card fills the space between Bramblewood Paragon and Bloodspore Thrinax nicely, as well as being harder to remove. Solid card. I'm gonna give it 10/10. Spellblind Gorgon Enchantment Creature - Gorgon Bestow (If you cast this card for its bestow cost, it’s an Aura spell with enchant creature. It becomes a creature again if it’s not attached to a creature.) Hexproof Enchanted creature gets +3/+5 and has hexproof. 3/5 Old: Hexproof or indestructible New: Random element (coin flip, "at random", etc) |

U: First time participating here, Take all my words as constructive please, im usually hard with criticism. Card rate 7/10 Name of the card = I see what you tried with the name, but I think it might sound like the gorgon has problems with the spells rather that protects from them. Casting cost = I don't see neccesary to have black in the casting cost. Could be monogreen. The cmc cost seems fine on an uncommon Creature types = Id like bestow creatures, don't know if the bestow cost is fine. Attachment Deletedp.d: Sorry for the sintax problems, im not good at english lang. ![]() Old: Random element (coin flip, "at random", etc) New: Some permanent card that create skeleton creature tokens. |

Up: Definitely very random. Unfortunately, the drawback if you lose the flip on the  is really high, and I don’t think it’s ever worth it to plus, making it basically one of the uncommon ‘walkers from War of the Spark. Sadly, it doesn’t meet the “hexproof or indestructible” requirement. Bone Remover Artifact , : Put a -1/-1 counter on target creature with no -1/-1 counters on it, then flip the coin. If you win the flip, create a 1/1 black Skeleton creature token. Old: a permanent that creates Skeleton creature tokens New: M/N O hybrid cost (like Crystallization) |

Post by Flo00 on May 16, 2019 4:21:33 GMT
Up: I like how this limits the number of times you can attempt to get a token. The limitation also makes is good but not too powerful. The interesting thing is also that you want to play this an a deck that doesn't ditribute a lot of -1/-1 counters. Puppeteer’s Army  Enchantment Whenever you discard a card, create a 1/1 black Skeleton creature token with “ : Regenerate this creature.” : Draw a card, then discard a card. Old: M/N O hybrid cost (like Crystallization) New: face down |

Up: 8/10 I love how clean this design is. The card has an already powerful effect at the base (converting all discarded cards into value) and also an expensive way to enable it. In that way it reminds me of Sphinx's Tutelage. Great design, though it might be a little too strong in a set that would want this sort of effect. Maybe the skeletons shouldn't regen? We've seen that making vanilla 1/1s is already extremely powerful (Saheeli and Hero of Precinct One in Standard alone.) Still, sweet design. Attachment DeletedOld: Morph New: Enchantment - Aura |

Up: I think the design is neat all around. Reminds me of that bird from khans block that bounced something when flipped. Efficient creature for normal cost, with some kind of Mana sink effect for later in the game. I have a little qualm with the hybrid Mana type being unjustified but I think it's fine to justify the art of the card and faerie is technically in green too so its fine.
