With that lotus it will become meta. And people will run a cheese proliferate/add a poison counter cards into their deck to counter it. I say print it. I wanna make people cry.

[@danielo7568]

or just regular cacophony scamp, meaning you will get countered by the red deck 100% of the time (at least mine, its such a good card)

[@thejesteramongfools]

You only get to use one anyway. Unless you are running it in a Melira deck with it. The first one used +9 poison counters, and the second one is +9 more. it counters itself.

[@MajraMangetsu]

Wow that's some WORK you're doing !!!

[@TehFoamy]

35:20 "It's not even strong" Its first ability applies whenever YOU attempt to draw cards too, because it just says "If *A* player would draw one or more cards". If you cast this and immediately follow up with like a cantrip, you roll off against yourself and always win, drawing cards equal to the highest of two d20 rolls and creating Treasures equal to the combined total of BOTH rolls. I could see a deck in Legacy or something that powers this out as soon as possible, cycles a Street Wraith or something, then draws 10+ cards while creating 15+ Treasures and using those cards and Treasures to eventually draw your deck while making 60+ mana to win the game on the spot. Seems pretty good for 3 mana

[@Finngrinder]

Landflash would likely read "this ability does not exceed you to play more than one land until your next turn."

[@dopi3220]

If you play a land, you cant play a second land until your next upkeep

[@Enja_Near]

"You cannot exceed the number of lands you were allowed to play during your last turn."

[@OlgaZuccati]

make it 1G, don't bother nerfing it. More interesting card and you don't need to solve a theorem for the rules text

[@techpriestsalok8119]

@@OlgaZuccati see the problem with that is now you have created the new most powerful card in magic. If you are allowed to play as many lands as you want per turn you have such a massive lead that games would be decided nearly entirely on who drew it first. The entire point of it is supposed to be you can catch up to your normal rate of land drops but can’t exceed it.

[@mondaynugget6503]

I think you’re missing how strong travox, cenobite traitor is. You can remove lore counters from sagas to get whichever effects you want repeatedly. You can remove counters from battles to flip them. Remove time counters from suspended things or the new impending cards so you get stuff faster. You can take counters off of cards like Dark Depths that give you stuff when they run out. You can give people archfiend of the dross and remove all of its counters. It’s a pretty fun looking card

[@mondaynugget6503]

Some sagas in mind: Elspeth’s nightmare, destroy or force discard, The Great Synthesis to return all non phyrexians to their owners’ hands every turn (Travox is phyrexian); One ring to rule them all- to destroy nonlegendary creatures every turn; The two scriptures- destroy target or opponent discards 3 every turn; Akroan War- steal a creature every turn for as long as Akroan is on the field (it won’t be sacrificed because you’re removing lore counters); Kiora bests the sea god create an 8/8 or tap down all of your opponents creatures every turn.

[@whaleofdarkness]

Wrath of God with Nature's Willing reads: "Regenerate all creatures. They can't be regenerated."

[@artemisspawnofzeus7732]

I think that works still? Dont lines of text happen sequentially? So when the creatures get regenerated they can be regenerated still.

[@whaleofdarkness]

@@artemisspawnofzeus7732 Yeah you're probably right. I think the clause "they can't be regenerated" just means that only for this spell they can't be regenerated which doesn't destroy anything in the first place. The regeneration should help for later spells which destroy the creature.

[@binarycat1237]

16:00 blade of betrayal presumably still attacks during its controllers turn?

[@Alecations]

I'd love to see you try to take on Hell's Cube. It's basically if Custom Magic was run by people who know the game ridiculously well and try to push the rules and readers to their limits while still technically functioning.

[@sablesalt]

59:41 this is funny because it is well known that many items in tBoI are named after magic cards, this is just full circle along with cruel sadist being an actual magic card designed by the games creator.

[@gabrote42]

14:57 The difference is that some creatures have abilities that benefit "you" or harm "an opponent." This card does not let you use those on the opposite targets. In addition, you can't make it,block it's controller's creatures, only your own, nor can you benefit from it's statics or sacrifice it. 17:58 The easy answer is "You only gain L during your own turn. If you would begin your turn, lose all L you have instead, then begin your turn. _reminder (L is a land drop or whatever wording the test cards use. You can only play lands during an opponent's turn if you have L to pay) reminder_ 18:56 The problem with these kinds of cards is that they suffer from the affinity problem. Honestly they should be a sorcery with this can't be cast 0: exile this card from your hand. You can an emblem with "effect". That eould also dodge storm 21:11 For this to work you'd need to make it so activated abilities of treasures can only be activated as a sorcery if they control a planeswalker. Otherwise they sac a treasure in response and they don't lose the walker. This needs an extra color pip to have this ability. Also needs an exception to putting counters on ETB (that is putting counters according to foubling season Vraska combo) 28:46 pay 1 for Collosus Hammer, pay 1 to equip, hit, hit, dead.

[@johndoe9343]

24:46 Sheltered by Ghosts is seeing quite a bit of Standard play, but fair. Voltron commanders in shambles. A situationally better and cheap replacement for edicts vs bogles/voltron. A situationally better Feed the Swarm. I'm not sure how the "Dim the Limelight" interacts with creatures that are indestructible from the aura though. Welp, hopefully the Voltron player drew their Alseid of Life's Bounty in this hypothetical universe where this card is real.

[@OlgaZuccati]

that bought loyalty card can end up doing some really stupid shenanigans if your opponent also controls one, the scenario where your opponent plays a planeswalker and it just ping pongs in an infinite loop is bound to happen. Also, the fact that if your opponent gets their planeswalkers immediately snatched if they don't have any treasures is sort of just really broken.

[@TheIhplodur]

The conflict of individuality is basicly a boardwipe for all creatures with power 4 or less so you opponent can give you creatures that die after they got the counters.

[@artemisspawnofzeus7732]

I think blade of betrayal is meant to proc on their turn. Like, the creature still attacks diring your opponents conbat phase, you just get to choose who they attack. So your opponent needs to hold up blockers during their own turn to block the shackled creature.

[@TheIhplodur]

Poor Mans Feast is basicly hexproof, because it prevents people from beeing able to pay the ward cost. As long as the opponent doesn´t already has enough treasure and/or gold.

[@altejoh]

"Surrogate" in this case is more like "backup". Give something else the same ability for one turn, or have that ability on maybe not a great creature perpetually.

[@cookie8415]

Travox would also remove plains walkers counters and experience counters from players

[@Sytecnix]

For that landflash card the text should say you can only play one land until your next turn

[@StijnHommes]

Landflash doesn't work as the creator intended. You're still limited to playing 1 land on YOUR turn, you just get to do it at instant speed.

[@HassanfaII]

What the cityscape passed? it comes into play untapped + extra ability what literally powercreps all pain Lands, fast lands etc xD

[@kamikeserpentail3778]

Trait Doctoring. I saw that it was like a $0.25 rare because it was so bad, so I made a deck around it, back when it was in standard. I basically just ciphered it onto Nivmagus Elemental so it could buff itself up by eating ciphered spells, or to trigger Heroic when that became a thing.

[@randomperson5579]

Travox would work perfectly in my Miku, Child of Song/Child of Alara, persist and undying deck, don't have to worry about adding enchantment removal to get rid of Solemnity when i need to get rid of it (or hope my opponent destroys it when i no longer need it) plus travox is 3 black mana, which means i could get it out pretty early, even turn 1 if i open with a swamp and dark ritual in hand.

[@modx5534]

The name of the card is "Pretty good sword" so you know it's good.

[@benpalmer1583]

Dim the Limelight would be a good counter to Sheltered by Ghosts in standard right now- Avoid ward and kill the creature too for just 1 mana

[@GregHamiltonHasaGoogle]

Pretty good sword is just a colorless Giant Strength. Make it Legendary to balance out the colorless and you've got a nice balanced card.

[@MajraMangetsu]

51:23 the only card that I know that destroy artifact on attack is green, legendary and is a rare XD

[@Littledeadfly]

12:10 I didn’t know they made a card based on me.

[@jiralishu]

1:06:58 Vesuvan Shapeshifter

[@hunding1978]

For Landflash text I was thinking You may play land as though they have Flash When you play a land put counter on [Card Name] As long that [Card Name] as a counter, you can't play land from your hand During your upkeep remove all counters on [Card Name]

[@jiralishu]

I'll just play more lands in response to the trigger, though. Because Flash.

[@Bahamut-ie3tk]

If you cast Day of Judgement, Nature's Willing and Village Bell-Ringer in that order, all creatures be tapped because of the regenerate, Village Bell-Ringer will untap all your creatures letting you attack freely. Edit: Blade of Betrayal doesn't have a cost to Shakle a creature just to unsakle it.

[@Jawzah]

Pretty good sword - I'd say it's pretty pushed.. Would power creep Bonesplitter, Thinking cap, etc Should be maybe equip 3 equip knight 1 or something like that to make it not "almost strictly better".. Colorless 1 drop is also often good in limited so would likely be very first pickable in a draft.

[@Jawzah]

Surrogate - it's more alike Channel than adventures.. Does not count as casting a spell - makes the card go to GY.

[@Jawzah]

Nature's willing - I like that one a lot.. Would like it even more if it also worked on exile -- Sunfall need more hate.

[@Jawzah]

AChtually I think they would still get regenerate when played on Wrath of God.. They cant be regenerated applies only to the resolution of that spell - it's not "until end of turn" - definitely not indefinitely.. They would get the regenerate "shield" and possibly be regenerated later that urn.. I think. c Confusing ? - yes - I guess that's the joke.

[@HassanfaII]

if the lotus gave you 10 Poision counters at the end of the current segement that card would be wayy cooler and also way more ballanced

[@WookieRookie]

Phyrexian Lotus is exactly black lotus for vintage: you can't play more than one of that (though this time technically you may), and it adds you the same amount of mana. And proliferate is too slow for normal Vintage, so it's impossible to die from it

[@whaleofdarkness]

I can imagine that in the short period of time that this card is allowed as a 4-off you'd see something like experimental augury for the random kill of your opponent. Also for decks that use yawgmoth's will it's worse than black lotus because you can't reuse it in a storm turn.

[@Th3Rad10D3m0m]

Bayou Dragonfly 13:04

[@gnarl80fi]

read the cards. I know it has become a meme, but doesn't reduce the frustration :D

[@Hephaestus_God]

You could just have Phyrexian Lotus give yourself 10 poison counters 4 ends steps from now. (So you get 1 more turn before death). Or similar effect

[@jiralishu]

"At the beginning of your next turn's end step, you get nine poison counters." This is the wording you're looking for.

[@binarycat1237]

52:20 reads wrong, blames superchat

[@benjaminberkey2920]

1:19:00 Space Balls cards.

[@mavorenborsteel6765]

My Brother plays Phyrexians so using Phyrexian lotus against him would be a death sentence

[@jazzaellore9333]

landflash : ==)with 1 blue mana up .... enemy turn cast a spell / flash a second island and cancel magic ) dim the limelight : ==) enchant player? destroy player? )))

[@olvynchuru1663]

It's not hard to fix Black Lotus. Just make it cost 3 mana.

[@Garl_Vinland]

So many strictly betters than existing cards lol

[@NikachuMTGLive]

Yeah, custom card community does that.

[@THE_GREMLINZ_OFFICIAL]

28:53 cheaper equipment!

[@randomrants148]

The bastard card Elder Imp the first ability needs to be a pure once each turn thing, or else it will goes forever. The second once should trigger once each turn as well to make it balance. It should change the cost to {2}{r}{r}.

[@Tragic_Idiot]

1:35 Or rather it's a better Bloodrush

[@cgjoh]

Dim would get through totem armor

[@crowcoregames1785]

22:50 yes solemnity says no counters if a pw enters under solemnity it die 47:51 vanishing here would make all opponents lands sacrifice instantly since vanishing " all permanents with vanishing gain N vanishing counters when given vanishing since there is no number next to vanishing the number becomes 0 "all permanents opponents control gain vanishing" this includes lands thus the lands they have exile instantly as soon as they gain the keyword vanishing is a weird janky mechanic. 1:35:48 mana chains exists and is 1 mana creature gains cumulative one so its fine

[@MajraMangetsu]

Nah, you're thinking of Fading. Because "A vanishing permanent enters the battlefield with a given number of time counters on it. At the beginning of its controller's upkeep step, it loses a time counter. When the last time counter is removed, the permanent must be sacrificed."

[@crowcoregames1785]

​@@MajraMangetsu ah nvm you right i see the abilty to put counters on itself it works like Tidewalker my bad

[@WhizzerdSupreme]

47:52 BROKEN. Rikko would give Vanishing to your opponents Lands, but the second ability can't target Lands to put counters on. Your opponent then goes to Upkeep and has to *sacrifice all their lands*

[@raphaelunger3057]

You only sacrifice when the last time counter is removed, not when it has 0 counters

[@StevenTLawson]

​@@raphaelunger3057 yes and with no counters on it, it has none left to remove and the cards are sacrificed. Its completely broken and no thought was put into its design

[@raphaelunger3057]

@@StevenTLawson Vanishing sacrifices the creature when the last counter is removed and that can't happen when there aren't any to remove

[@whaleofdarkness]

@@raphaelunger3057 Yeah, Vanishing is weird. Solemnity is actually good with Vanishing because you never have to sacrifice anything.
