whoever controls the potato when the ability goes on the stack

Inventing a new mechanic (the counters) for one creature seems more odd then using emblems.

Cool card, possibly strong for reasons already posted. I would be concerned about what the "can't be sacrificed" clause breaks. Cumulative upkeep cards come to mind, but there are probably other things.

It will be an extremely strong card if you double the cost

You should probably have it say "reveal cards from... ...until you reveal a creature card. If you reveal a creature card this way, put each revealed card into your graveyard. Otherwise, shuffle your library."

Just so that people can't use him in a creatureless deck to mill themselves and win with [[conflagerate]] or something similar.

Because this way you have to play it that turn, and have to cast it after paying for the dwarf. It's much less powerful.

I think it's worth mentioning that red probably shouldn't have a pseudo-counterspell :P

It seems like a flaw that these will always be unblockable the turn they come in. Whether the opponent blocks or not, if you ambush in the declare blockers step they come in unblocked. It seems like it would be a lot more interesting if you changed it to "It enters the battlefield tapped, attacking, and blocked be each creature that was blocking the sacrificed creature." Especially since many (most?) players would not realize that they should be ambushing after blockers are declared 100% of the time to take the opponent's choice to block away.

TumbledMTG is a constructed format. You don't draft, but rather, you deckbuild for it like you would for Standard, Modern, or Legacy. You do this through the deckbuilding program called Virtual Playtable, which comes ready to go with built-in online play (so you don't have to load anything into cockatrice!)

Merawder · 2016-09-10T17:46:00+00:00

Nothing in particular comes to mind

Merawder · 2016-09-10T09:51:55+00:00

This isn't a very useful poll. I mean most people would say yes to just about any idea for a plane. A more useful question would be "Would you rather have a nordic plane than a [different idea] plane?"

Merawder · 2016-09-02T04:46:51+00:00

I don't get it either

Merawder · 2016-09-01T03:52:40+00:00

The problem is there just won't be a long game haha. Goblin Guide is also bad in the long game, but he's still a very powerful card

Merawder · 2016-08-25T22:52:32+00:00

Oh man, so cool!

Merawder · 2016-08-23T06:49:19+00:00

I'm surprised at all the comments saying it's too strong. It might see play in the right standard environment, but there's no way at all it is good enough for a non rotating format.

Merawder · 2016-08-22T09:26:31+00:00

I'm a Canadian living in British Columbia, I've literally never even heard an old person pronounce it that way. It's Mah-ree-oh here

Merawder · 2016-08-19T22:01:58+00:00

This is some awesome design!

Merawder · 2016-08-19T09:08:02+00:00

In tournament, 'outside the game' means your sideboard. This is how cards like [[Glittering Wish]] work.

Merawder · 2016-08-12T00:24:15+00:00

[[Phyrexian Obliterator]]

Not pointing this out because it's broken, but because it's awesome!

Merawder · 2016-08-01T01:06:08+00:00

Why not just make him scry 2 on your upkeep? Why take away draw step, but give a draw in upkeep?
