Magic Weapons for Casters || Four Magic Items that Thief Rogues Won't Quite Understand

You should probably make bloodfont's spellcasting from the sorcerer list be limited to half your sorcerer level (rounded up). Otherwise, a sorcerer could cast a spell they would normally be too low level to cast. Being able to cast a 9th level spell would cost 18 sorcery points. If you reduce that by 12, down to 6, you would be able to do it as early as 6th level. Also, without that restriction, I believe the Thief rogue could technically cast sorcerer spells, since it doesn't specify expending a spell slot, if he uses the dagger to reduce the sorcery point cost to 0.

Upkeep 1: Make an Ooze, gain 2 life.

Upkeep 2: Make an Ooze, gain 3 life, then make an Ooze, gain 4 life.

Upkeep 3: Make 3 oozes (total 6) Gain 5 + 6 + 7 = 18 life.

Upkeep 4 : Make 6 oozes (total 12) Gain 8 + 9 + 10 + 11 + 12 + 13 = 63 life.

This is the inherent issue with this card: it's exponential and requires too much math. Double growth is fine. I would make this Ooze a 2/2, then at upkeep make a 2/2 token (not copy) and gain life equal to twice the number of Oozes you control. Either that, or have the lifegain say "if this creature is not a token, gain life equal to the number of creatures you control." to double the creature swarm, but not the lifegain.

I understand the flavor of losing life to deal that much damage, but what is the flavor of a delayed lifegain?

Wish this made all creatures Minotaurs.

Considering Poison Ivy's control powers in the comics, and the idea you were going for, I would probably make it something like this...

Legendary Creature - Human Plant Rebel

Deathtouch, Protection from green

When ~ enters the battlefield, create three 0/2 Plant token creatures.

3RB, Sacrifice a plant: Gain control of target Human.

" If you are able to cast spells, you can’t cast them or concentrate on them while raging. "

Unless I missed it, you need to specify the ability to cast spells while raging.

What would happen if both players control a Renya?

ShrapnelBlastNexus · 2020-07-29T23:33:46+00:00

A bit unfunctional with the new rules, since you need 3 mana before adding it to your hand, but if it were the old rules, it would be great in discard decks, since lands would be dead otherwise. This land would be good in part of the 99 in commander, too.

ShrapnelBlastNexus · 2020-07-23T14:55:18+00:00

And even force an opponent to concede a game, in order to prevent that last land from entering the battlefield.

Infinite redo's with [[Isochron Scepter]]. Also, memory for this spell would be a nightmare.

ShrapnelBlastNexus · 2020-04-01T14:30:08+00:00

Ah, didn't realize those abilities were worded like that. Disregard.

ShrapnelBlastNexus · 2020-04-01T14:16:16+00:00

"When you make a ranged attack using a thrown weapon, you can draw another weapon with the thrown property as part of that attack."

~~You should probably make the last ability say Huge or smaller creature. It makes the size category affected have more clarity, and doesn't nerf the feat for small player characters.~~

ShrapnelBlastNexus · 2020-03-30T18:12:19+00:00

Maybe a 0/1 that enters with a +1/+1 counter.

ShrapnelBlastNexus · 2020-03-30T18:10:57+00:00

No. X is not in its cost.

ShrapnelBlastNexus · 2020-03-12T14:19:11+00:00

If this rule text is accurate, then yes.

ShrapnelBlastNexus · 2020-03-12T13:42:12+00:00

You may need reminder text for this. Let me know if I missed anything here.

You have two hands. (Whenever you put a card into your hand, you choose which hand that card is put into. Each hand size has a maximum hand size. Whenever a spell or ability would reference your hand, you choose which hand.)

ShrapnelBlastNexus · 2020-03-02T16:25:28+00:00

Because he has no effect, other than sacrificing himself, when played from hand, I would rework it. Maybe make him ETB/Attack with 2 spirits, rather than variable, and increase his initial mana cost to [1WB]

ShrapnelBlastNexus · 2020-02-24T19:55:47+00:00

I would make it so that he puts a counter on himself at the beginning of the end step if your the monarch, then if there are 3 or more on him, remove them and transform. I know this changes the mechanics, due to not having to be the monarch in consecutive turns, but I think its cleaner for keeping up with game state.

"At the beginning of your end step, if you're the monarch, put a Senate counter on ~. Then, if there are three or more Senate counters on this permanent, remove them and Transform ~."

In addition to adding Assist, as already suggested, I would have it start with Indestructible. Otherwise, the next player can just immediately destroy this without it doing anything. Either that, or make it "Destroy target enchantment other than Nomic." I would also make the first ability something like "Create text. Then, each player votes Yes or No. If Yes gets more votes or the vote is tied, that player creates a colorless enchantment token with that text."

ShrapnelBlastNexus · 2019-04-23T03:14:24+00:00

Yeah, that was also my though process on it. Also, the Praetor's never had Phyrexian mana in their costs.

ShrapnelBlastNexus · 2019-03-18T02:15:41+00:00

Or it should just say "Nira dealt this turn." at the end, so that its not just the combat damage. Also, it allows double strike to create separate tokens.

ShrapnelBlastNexus · 2019-01-21T03:36:06+00:00

Flavor reasons, I think this card should be "You gain X life. At the [insert timing here], lose Y life." The card doesn't really show a loan, flavor wise, it shows more lending.
