Card of the Day - Crackling Fire

Here's a good reason to play non-snow in Frostmere.  I made it uncommon so it shows up a bit more in draft.  In this set, you can feasibly draft a really good snow deck, non-snow deck, or a mix of both.  There are cards that support whatever strategy you choose.

Card of the Day - Plaguesplosion

Yes.  It is called Plaguesplosion, and it is awesome.

Card of the Day - Dispersal Wave

Sorcery speed Evacuation.  Feels more like a WOG/DOJ and has a bonus of getting double use of your ETB creatures.

Card of the Day - Rapid Evolution

This is an updated version of Afiya Grove.  I like it because it sticks around for more than three turns, and you don't have to put a counter on an opponent's creature if you don't want to.

Edit:  cleaned up version that dosn't get around shroud (which is an obsolete mechanic anyway.)

Card of the Day - Curse of Amnesia

This is kind of like half of Jin-Gitaxis, but slightly different.  The art is from Memory Lapse.  In other news, this is my 400th post.  So... yay!

Card of the Day - Freeze

Brrr.

Edit: Cantrip'd!  The effect is small enough that a cantrip on this guy should have been there in the first place.

Card of the Day - Scarring Frostbite

It's that time of the year where the cold consumes all, especially in the lovely city of Fargo, ND.  (It's -9 outside.)

Card of the Day - Motivation

A simple buyback card. 

Card of the Day - Christmas Card

Happy Christmas!

Card of the Day - Pine Sol Ring

It's Christmas Eve! Christmas is cool, cause it's a two day event.  BTW, I'm aware that this card is stupid broken.  Have a nice day!

Card of the Day - Mercy

A simple white effect that hasn't been done yet.

Card of the Day - Wall of Steel

Big wall.

Card of the Day - End of Days

Get it!?

Card of the Day - Inspiring Implosion

The thing I like most about this is that there is a limit to the amount of cards you draw, and that limit is the cost of the artifact. 

Card of the Day - Return to Nature

I think this card just about sums up how I feel about blue.

Card of the Day - Impale

A black enchantment doing what black does best: killing stuff.

Card of the Day - Painful Insight

This is an old card design that I had originally called Thoughtflare.  But then good ol' WOTC used that name for a different Izzet card, so I used the art from that card as an homage. (I think it fits my design better...)

Card of the Day - Shambling Lichen

Did you know that lichen is the product of a symbiotic relationship between a plant and a fungus? 

Card of the Day - Unmaker Mage

The blue guy is a bit more powerful.

Card of the Day - Devout Aven

This one's pretty simple, and seems like it should've been made already.

Card of the Day - Null Recluse

Green guy who kills lots of stuff.

Card of the Day - Elgad the Gooey

Thought I'd make a 12/12 for 12 in honor of this special date.  Did you know that this is the last time we'll see a date that has all matching numbers until 2101?

Card of the Day - Orcish Arsonist

Here's the red entry into the cycle of "enters the battlefield or dies" guys. He likes to make things be on fire.

Card of the Day - Thought Robber

I like the trigger "When this enters the battlefield or dies."  I'm probably going to use that one a bit more in the future.

Card of the Day - Winged Spider

The good news is that if it loses flying, it can still block flying creatures.

Card of the Day - Spite Devil

A lil' guy with a couple of keywords that go well together.

Card of the Day - Malevolent Tutor

Nerfed version of Demonic Tutor.  Half of the time it's better than Diabolic Tutor.

Card of the Day - White Mage

This goes along with Black Mage, my card from a few days ago. 

Card of the Day - Abandonment

So... Alone...

Card of the Day - AEther Elemental

I've been playing a format with Hollee recently that forgoes mana costs.  You start with no hand (or sometimes with three, five, or seven cards), and you can play one spell a turn (or sometimes two or three.)  This card is designed for that format.  It would also be very good in a lot of other formats.  It's just a Confiscate tacked onto a big flier.

Card of the Day - Soultether Mantis

Me: Let's make a card together!
Hollee: OK!
Me: What's its power and toughness?
Hollee: 8/10!
Me: ok...  how bout it's mana cost?
Hollee: A green and a black.
Me: What kind of creature is it?
Hollee: A Mantis!  A Giant Mantis!
Me: Oh, you mean like this?
Hollee: My work is done.

Card of the Day - Black Mage

I really wanted to make Black Mage black, but he had to be red.  When he levels up he learns better versions of his blow stuff up spells.

Card of the Day - Goblin Vanguard

Here's another take on Boost.  This one is kind of a reverse Exalted, where more creatures equals more bonuses.  Someone gave me this idea, but I don't remember who it was.  If it's you, let me know in the comments!

Card of the Day - Lifebond

I've been playing Commander on Magic Online a lot recently.  This is a card I wish existed.  I need it for ComeAtMeBro.dec

Card of the Day - Cerebro

Here's a nice enabler for all your X-men decks.

Card of the Day - Professor Charles Xavier

I'm really having fun with these superhero guys.

Card of the Day - Weapon X

Since I've been on this Avengers kick, I thought I'd make some X-men too. Here's Wolverine being awesome.

Card of the Day - Marsh Mist

A different take on the Shade mechanic.  In this form, you don't need to spend a bunch of mana to give him a huge boost.

Card of the Day - Dominant Species

I wanted to make a four color card.  If you break this down into its component parts, vigilance is GW with a smidge of U, deathtouch is BG, and the third ability is GU. 

Card of the Day - Hawkeye

He's just a guy with a lot of keyword abilities.  Also, awesome.

Card of the Day - Spider-Man

I know he's not really an Avenger, but I had created an ability that would suit him rather well, so I went with it.  Also: He's Spider-Man, and therefore awesome.

Card of the Day - Give Thanks

In the US, we celebrate Thanksgiving on the fourth Thursday of November.  It is my favorite holiday for two reasons: 1) everyone is supposed to be nice to each other for the whole day, and 2) I get to eat turkey.  A lot of turkey.  Cause that's what the pilgrims ate.  Booyah.

Happy Thanksgiving everyone! 

Bonus! Card of the Day - Mjolnir

Mjolnir is Thor's hammer, in case you didn't know.

Card of the Day - The Mighty Thor

I don't really like starting cards' names with the word "The", but I think it's ok in this instance.

Edit: He really should have flying.

Card of the Day - Captain America

Everyone's favorite super-soldier.  Here's another version.  Note the mana cost:

Card of the Day - Iron Man

Just wanted to make the rest of the Avengers.  Iron Man made me make a new keyword.

Edit: Flying. Duh.
