Card of the Day - Instant Army

Weeeeeee!

Edit:  I just got the update for the M15 card frames, so here's Instant Army in the new frame, as well.


2nd Edit(!):  Made it an Instant, and changed the Goblin part of the card to make two tokens instead of giving them haste.  9 Power of creatures for 5 mana! INSANE!

Card of the Day - Powergrab

After making this card, I realized how strong it is against Sphinx's Revelation. A lot of the time this card reads: :Target opponent skips his or her next draw phase. Draw a card."

Card of the Day - AEther Snare

Every once in a while, I roll dice to choose a card type, mana cost, color, and rarity.  It's not easy designing a UU rare blue sorcery.  I challenge each of my readers to post a card that fits those criteria.  You can post your submission in the comments.

Card of the Day - Faceless Saboteur

So I went to Magic Game Day today and got myself a playset of the full art Squelching Leeches.  I realized while brushing my teeth that the Leeches are a lesser version of a card from Future Sight, Korlash, Heir to Blackblade.  Presenting Faceless Saboteur:
This card uses the same basic concept, but in reverse. I chose a card that already exists and made a Grandeur creature with the same stats and ability, and changed the flavor.  Bonus points if you can name the original card without looking it up.  Also, if you don;t remember Espionage, here's the rules text for it:  (Whenever this card would deal damage to a player, that player puts twice that many cards from the top of his or her library into his or her graveyard instead.)

Card of the Day - Ancient Lighthouse

I could see this printed as is.  A slight tweak would involve a nominal cost to take a peek.

Card of the Day - Searing Jolt

Here's another take on Maximize.  This time, you can choose to get a single extra copy each time you cast it.  Fun!

Card of the Day - Seasoned Scalawag

This card is from the Red/Blue/Green plane, where storms rage constantly and volcanoes, at seemingly random intervals, erupt on verdant islands of the vast sea.

Card of the Day - Coordinated Leap

This would be a very limited card; only useful if you're playing with frogs... if it didn't have that nifty transmute ability on it.  I have a feeling this card is going to be used to transmute 90% of the time, but the other 10% will be amazing.

Card of the Day - Amphibious Stalker

I really wanted to make this cost GG, but in the context of a set full of three-color planes, it seemed like a bad idea.  Anyway, this lil' guy lives on the plane of Deepmire.   The brackish waters of this Blue, Black, and Green plane churn under a dense green canopy, and within live a tribe of frogmen.  Some of those frogmen are sneaky.

Card of the Day - Gallery Ghost

Here is a typical denizen of Roggara. The ones who die here have a difficult time leaving.

Card of the Day - Barstoe Roggar, Patriarch


Barstoe is the current owner and lord of Roggara, his ancestral home.  He knowingly cut off his estate from the rest of the planes because of his love of solitude.

Card of the Day - Something in the Attic

The flavor of Roggara really shines through in Something in the Attic.  Creepy and looming.  I dig it.
