Card of the Day - Pain's Promise


The next in a long line of Phyrexian Arena variants.  This one's cool because you can draw more than one extra card each turn, but the cost can be excruciating.

Card of the Day - Frozen Specter/Diabolic Specter

The first iteration of this card is pretty good.  After I made it, though, I realized that I was forcing it to be a snow creature when it didn't need to be.  I promptly renamed it, changed the mana requirements, and removed the snow supertype.  Here's the finished version.

Card of the Day - Discpile of Gargut

This was my entry into Goblin Artisans weekend design challenge.  It had to be a common black creature with two abilites.  It works better in the context of the whole set.

Card of the Day - Brenish Hunter

This is a staple G/W common that would need to exist in a world where snow is a big deal. I like the way that hybrid and snow work together to make a pseudo-sixth color feasible in limited environments.  Also, I just found an awesome snow watermark that could go on every snow card.  I think it looks cool.

Card of the Day - Phantom Army

This is a bit complicated.  It's more complicated than most cards I make, but I wanted it to have a certain feel.  This card is grokkable once you understand what's going on.

Your opponent has a creature, and suddenly there are three of that creature!  Which one should you block?  If you wanted to make a creature unblockable, there are easier ways. It seems like so much fun to play this little minigame.  I'm going to be using this one in playtesting for sure.

Card of the Day - Soul Explosion

Here's a big boom for the new year.  This card will end games quickly once cast, no matter the victor.

Card of the Day - Brazen Borla

This is a creature that could take the Tarmogoyf spot for people who can't afford them.  Also goes well with Ichor Wellspring and Mycosynth Wellspring, not to mention Sarcomancy.

Card of the Day - Pontiff's Edict

It took me a while to decide the colors for this card, but in the end I'm certain black/white is the way to go.  After the colors were decided, I infused a bit of flavor to make it fit.  Let me know if you think it should be recosted, and what you put as its mana cost.

EDIT:  I forgot about Crack the Earth.  It doesn't feel red to be able to destroy enchantments, though.  I have altered the card slightly to make it feel much better for you, and worse for every other player.

A small change makes this card much better. (Also notice the new flavor text.)

Card of the Day - Extended Journey

My favorite thing to do with Maximize is to make it useful at different points in the game.  This card does that beautifully.

Card of the Day - Mulch Druid


Card of the Day - Village

Sorry for all the days in my recent posting.  I've been focusing my efforts on building a game.  A game of epic proportions.  Keep checking in and I'll tell you how it's going.

Card of the Day - Impervious Kragol


A french vanilla creature that needed to exist.  This card should work beautifully in a set that uses a lot of -1/-1 counters.

Card of the Day - Tershan Hypnotist

Yes, it's true.  This is just an updated version of Tolarian Entrancer.  I even used the same art. I've always loved the original and I really think he deserves an update. The main difference with Tershan Hypnotist is that he can take your opponent's attacking creatures too.

Sorry for the erratic posting lately.  Here's a good red rare sorcery for you all.
