Card of the Day - Gilded Chapel

The thing that makes this card work for me is the fact that you can get a mana from it the first turn it's out, or you can save it to cast something a bit bigger the next turn.  A powerful cycle of common lands.

Card of the Day - Reduce//Reuse

My first split card!  I originally made this as an Enchantment that did both effects, but I thought it might be cooler as one shot that could do either.

Card of the Day - Enhanced Captain

This guy works well with yesterday's card.  He could be a build-around uncommon in a white/blue Cybernetic aggro deck.

Card of the Day - Ocular Implant

In whatever set this card is from, there are things that benefit from being cybernetically enhanced.

Edit: Changed the subtype to Cybernetic instead of it being a keyword.  As the commenter pointed out, having an all-downside keyword feels bad. Also I changed it from plural to singular.

Card of the Day - Feast for the Ages


There haven't been too many cards that deal with eating in Magic.  The only two I can think of right away are Grim Feast and Afiya Grove.  The flavor of the grove is that there is some fruit there, and each turn a creature eats one and gets stronger.  Grim Feast's flavor is, well, grim. The thing about Feast for the Ages is that there is enough food for everyone and as long they weren't doing anything else that turn, they can eat it.

Also:  Works well with Vigilance, which happens to be right on color for this card.

Card of the Day - Extract Essence

It's a 4 point life swing for one mana at Sorcery speed.  Too powerful?

Card of the Day - The Enchiridion

A quote from the Adventure Time wiki: "the book is shown to have magical properties, allowing a user to be able to have access to all of the multiverse's many dimensions."

Card of the Day - Earthshaper


Just an FYI:  I changed this at the last minute from a 1/1 for R that dealt 1 damage for the sacrifice.  What do you think works better?

Card of the Day - Orzhov Intellectual

Here's an example of a common creature with Outsmart.  The power/toughness on the lower rarites should be low.

Card of the Day - Draconic Illusionist

I like the activated ability on this guy.  It's something that just seems to fit well on a Blue/Red dragon.

Card of the Day - Master Chronomancer

With the Chronomancer on the battlefield, you can take the luxury of a few extra turns.  Easily breakable with Fastbond or Manabond, but I think it's fragile enough to not be broken.

Card of the Day - Kiara, Veil of Light

Although Kiara doesn't like the Rakdos, I'd say it's justifiable.  They are actually really mean.

Card of the Day - Viral Mutation

Making infections hurt since 2013.  Notice that this card uses infection counters in a different way than the other cards that use them.  This card would be in a different set, probably.

Card of the Day - Vexing Asp

One more way for green to mess with blue.  Alternatively, a nice surprise blocker.

Card of the Day - Assault Drake



I couldn't decide if I wanted WU or UR for the mana cost, so I made both and both at the same time.  Which one is correct?

Card of the Day - Gorgak Illusionist


Is it possible that a race of sufficiently evolved Apes could be a Blue/Green tribe?  I think so.

Card of the Day - Mind Fungus

Sometimes this card is 2GU: Target opponent loses 2 life.

Edit: Changed colors.

Card of the Day - Uncertain Transmutation

This card is basically Ninjutsu for everyone.  The downside is that unless you build your deck specifically for this card, you never know who's going to be attacking.  Fun!

Card of the Day - Crystal Maze

This is most often going to be used as a damage prevention tool, but sometimes it will be much more.

Sunday, May 12, 2013

Card of the Day - Rending Claws

A simple common combat trick.  Nice for whittling down a big threat, or for an extra point of damage to a player each turn on an empty field.

Card of the Day - Daenerys, Mother of Dragons

If you haven't seen the Game of Thrones show or read the Song of Ice and Fire novels, you will not know Dany.  She has dragons and is immune to fire.  So there it is.

Card of the Day - Lost in the Mists

Hesisitation for creatures.   This card will be much more powerful in the right deck.

Card of the Day - Ranger's Call

I'm sure there are some Johnnys out there who can up with a good use for this card.

Card of the Day - Mind Flayer


Anyone who's played Dungeons & Dragons should recognize this guy.  If you don't know about the Illithid race, check this out.

Card of the Day - Wrapped in Silk

Green removal.  It's basically a Pacifism that can only target flying creatures.  The cost is low because it is situational.

Card of the Day - Hell Shade

I'm real happy with the flavor text on this one.  I tried real hard to write a good one.  The card's pretty good, too.  I like how the life payment and mana payment together make this cool.
