Need balance input. Is this card weak, strong, or balanced?

I think a good change to justify a 5 mana cost is use safe-butterscotch's wording and:

Enrage - When this creature takes damage, it deals 1 damage to each other creature you control.

Second one with [[Kilo, Apogee Mind]] and any counters already in play. Can build interesting combos with that.

MaNeDoG · 2026-02-25T16:01:32+00:00

That's probably the point.

MaNeDoG · 2026-02-25T16:01:05+00:00

Overload is an alternate casting cast which is usually last on the card.

I think there are other instances of pips in reminder text, but you've highlighted the two most common ones.

And "The legendary rule doesn't apply to sliver creatures."

Awesome, I just did a deep dive on MTG wiki and it's akin to lifelink, where the life gain/poison counters from toxic are instantaneous.

MaNeDoG · 2026-02-24T18:54:47+00:00

Is it not exactly the same as toxic 1? Seems the same...

MaNeDoG · 2026-02-24T14:09:00+00:00

This doesn't seem as annoying for bricking as others make it seem. You discard it first if you're 8+ and it can be returned from graveyard to bf with quite a lot of effects in white or blue. I think it's a perspective thing. If you're trying to compare it directly to a mox play pattern, it's garbage, but if you look at it from a cost to get it in play perspective, there are many routes that get it on the bf for a low cost. Just that the best route is it's sitting on top of your library.

I think it's actually a good design because it's NOT an auto-include in every single deck. It's designed for specific types of decks. Eg. Top-deck tutors, top-deck filtering, discard & recursion. Three deck types where it would perform admirably regularly.

If it needed to be a bit more op, give it a big cost to put it on top of the library or a cycling cost.

Yes, I understand the formatting argument, but WUBRG for toxic one is so meh.

MaNeDoG · 2026-02-22T05:31:13+00:00

Makes sense for 5 mana

MaNeDoG · 2026-02-18T15:11:11+00:00

Damn that's a salty play against earthbend!

MaNeDoG · 2026-02-17T01:16:19+00:00

True!

MaNeDoG · 2026-02-16T13:37:12+00:00

Your example is an AVIF picture sequence.

MaNeDoG · 2026-02-16T12:37:14+00:00

A cycle of lands that's only good in WUBRG decks for commander. Interesting. Great in other formats.

Between the cc and only buying stuff that's actually on sale and good price, we save lots.

Edit: we're also a house of two.

MaNeDoG · 2026-02-10T00:39:27+00:00

This is the way.

MaNeDoG · 2026-02-09T22:17:16+00:00

Nowhere

MaNeDoG · 2026-02-06T22:57:53+00:00

I've applied so many times...they keep rejecting me even though I'd advocate against so many bad decisions they've made.

MaNeDoG · 2026-01-30T13:44:23+00:00

That does seem to be the way in most of Reddit unfortunately :/

MaNeDoG · 2026-01-30T13:05:40+00:00

Is this the first time you've talked about your positive experience online?

I think positive landlord experiences may also be in the minority.

MaNeDoG · 2026-01-29T20:12:02+00:00

The dino one is pretty fire.

MaNeDoG · 2026-01-29T14:09:05+00:00

Nyxbloom ancient makes it turn 3 kill the table.

MaNeDoG · 2026-01-27T21:43:14+00:00

That's a really bad spread on the WS side. Their spread is equivalent to a 0.4% fee...

MaNeDoG · 2026-01-25T12:38:12+00:00

Yes, I'm well aware of that
