Unaligned will make player not want to play colors at all, which could make an entire block worthless in standard.<br /><br />I really like the use of 2/U and 2/R in casting costs. I never once paid more than 3 for a Flame Javelin. With Forge I actually would want to. The added choices makes for better play.<br /><br />A couple template issues. Unaligned and Forge are redundant on Machina Serpent. Because of Forge, if a player did pay colored mana for X, nothing would happen. With no mana burn, Unaligned does nothing. Note, this is only because the card costs X.<br /><br />Stoic Automental has an ability that doesn't activate with the rules. It needs to be written as a triggered ability with a "when" (or in this case a whenever) at the beginning:<br /><br />"Whenever a creature blocks or becomes blocked by Stoic Automental, tap that creature. It doesn't untap during its controller's next untap step."<br /><br />Lastly, the X+2 in Mana Scrubber needs to be X2 in Magic mana bubbles. It also need a slight word change:<br /><br />"You may pay X2 rather than paying creature spells' mana costs, where X is the converted mana cost of that card."Chimzarhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03598964679401389083noreply@blogger.com
