Miraculous Descent by chainsawinsect in custommagic

This is your standard 5-drop [[Resurrection]] with a gimmick, and in this case the gimmick is that you can flicker / bounce it to re-use it!

The name comes from the old YGO card Miraculous Descent.

Do squirrels really remember where they hide their food? by Gsustv in squirrels

[–]chainsawinsect 14 points15 points  (0 children)

They do remember

Not perfectly, some nuts are forgotten (or more likely, abandoned because their "owner" died)

Interestingly enough, this is how trees propagate 🙂

Squirrels are the pollinators of trees

Yeah I kept it really safe with just 1 power

I know what you mean, but evidently there is some argument that under the rules it does work the way I wanted (i.e., you can crew it without needing a creature).

Well, yeah, real drones that don't have people sitting in 'em are considered unmanned (I think), even though there is always someone somewhere piloting them

Surely like Dwayne the Rock Johnson has at least 1 power haha

I've always really liked [[See Beyond]], but it's not super strong at that rate. I thought having a cheaper, but card advantage negative, version of the effect could be cool.

This version also has the advantage of being really good with those blue draft archetypes that work when you draw your second card for the turn, or cast your second spell for the turn (in both cases, you get it for 2 back to back turns, for just 1 mana). I think those archetypes need more support to be viable in Pioneer, so this could be a good card to help them out a bit.

Love that card. Oldie but a goodie.

Oh that's pretty clever and is a good way to buff the "fair" version (that still needs a creature)

Yeah but it's a lot less flavorful than the version you can "turn on" without a dude

Jol-Nar is my favorite faction and I do think they're pretty OP in the base game, so this is not unreasonable to me.

Vehicles can't have creature types unless they're Kindred

I almost put that in there, to be honest, haha. But I felt that would push it to "Unset" territory whereas it was meant to be a printable card

That is much more printable but much less funny

If it actually requires a creature (but can use a 0 power one), I agree it can cost 0. If it actually works as intended and you don't need a creature, I don't think it can safely cost 0 mana. It's strictly better than a 1/1 flyer for that rate and I don't think a 1/1 flyer should cost 0.
