Card of the Day - Coldheart Kulota

I had my Frostmere cards in white borders originally because I was printing them at home and didn't want to water ink, but I remembered that I can go to Kinko's and print them pretty cheap.  Also, Affinity for Snow!  Yay!

Card of the Day - Earthen Might

Red and black have a mini-theme of sacrificing lands to get an effect.  Here's the common red aura that shows it off.

Card of the Day - Spiteful Brutalizer

The main antagonists of the Frostmere block are the devils that spew forth from the rift at Gargut Glacier.

Card of the Day - Mourning Sivr

Bradley Rose's plan to make a set has inspired me to finally get a whole set together instead of just individual cards.  The cards I post for a wile will be a part of Frostmere.  I'm finally getting it together.

Card of the Day - Feast of Flesh

I really like removal that is cheap and specific.  This card is bad to cast at your opponent if he or she has more than one creature, but awesome to cast on yourself to pump your team.

Card of the Day - Maradath, Queen of the Skies

I've recently gone down the rabbit hole of Tiny Leaders.  This is a commander that would fit well in either a soldier deck or a bird deck, or work best of all in a Bird Soldier deck. 

There are exactly 9 Bird Soldiers available in this format, and at least six of them would be awesome in a deck with Maradath as the commander.

Card of the Day - Tyrion, Master of Coin


I've decided that Tyrion is Black/White, Cersei is Black/Blue, Joffrey is Black/Red, Jaime is Red/White, and Tywin is BW (just like his least favorite son.)

This card was designed with commander in mind.

Card of the Day - Piggy, Wearer of Rainboots

Every once in a while, I regret asking my wife to help me make a card.  This time it had to be a baby pig wearing rainboots.  I've done my best.

Card of the Day - Faun of the Labyrinth

As you can probably guess, today's card draws its inspiration from the movie Pan's Labyrinth.  I gave it a Theros-y feel, but this is a card that would fit much better in a Commander product.  It also randomly protects your planeswalkers from an untimely death.

Card of the Day - Too Many Cooks

Although this design was based on a crazy internet video, it feels a lot like it should be in the Innistrad block.

Card of the Day - Skullmelter Devil

My original design for this card was an enchantment, but I decided to make it a creature instead so it can be more easily disrupted as well as having a bigger impact on the game.

Card of the Day - Way of Enlightenment

This is meant to be a cross between Master the Way and Sphinx's Revelation.  A question that I posed last Friday at FNM was, "How much life would you have to gain to play a spell that only gains you life?"

Card of the Day - Cursed Amulet

Here's haunt on an artifact.  This seems like a pretty powerful repeatable effect, albeit slow and conditional.

Card of the Day - Tormenting Longhorn

This iteration of haunt isn't mine, but it caught my eye and my design-brain is going nuts with it.   Rest assured, I will be making more haunt cards in the future.  Link to the original here.

Card of the Day - Brutal Seizure


The main problem with Thoughtseize is that your opponent may just draw into the same thing or something similar.  This spell gives you a little more information before you make your choice.

Card of the Day - Putrid Otyugh


This card is powerful, but like a lot of black cards, has an insane drawback.  Suicide Black never had a better poster child.  I really want to play this with lifelink.

Card of the Day - Goblin Stooge

There has never before been a 2/2 Goblin for 1R without some sort of drawback.  Now is the time for it to exist.

Card of the Day - Price of Power

I originally had this read "When you cast this, lose 30 life,"  but decided to change it because of the commander issue.  This way makes it difficult to turn on no matter what format you're playing.

Card of the Day - Chris de Burgh, the Possessed

When Duncan Trussell takes over Kumail's character, you can be sure he will leave much more mutilated than when he arrived.  Am I the only one who hates this?
