Sickening posted:Plenty of great artists out there that haven't gotten a shot to put their art on magic cards that I could give a poo poo if Rebecca Guay gets another magic card. She's pretty much an institution in Magic illustration for anyone that's been playing the game since 2007 or earlier. People in this thread keep hoping for her to make some kind of a comeback, but anyone that's been following Guay's public-facing social media for a while knows that she moved on to teach art at Pratt Institute and that she moved on to gallery work.

Really trying to figure out how good charming prince is in mono white death and taxes. Seems playable at first glance. The bounce effect is like half resto half flickerwisp, but it costs less and has no evasion, but it also has two other ok abilities that play nicely with the deck. See no reason to not try a couple but that 2 spot is busy with the stoneforge unban.

I wondered why she changed her name, too; that's interesting. Good on her, though. It's not everyday someone gains the ability to express themselves however they like as a career.

Tom Clancy is Dead posted:Because making creature tokens every turn is white, black, green, red in that order? (Or maybe b and g flipped) This card could be monored if that Lifelink was, like, Intimidate. I don't even think the card would need to be a creature instead of an enchantment.

This seems...hard to evaluate but it also seems really easy to improve your opponent’s card quality if they sandbag lands?

A 4/3 for four by itself doesn't seem great, so it's really depending on the hand disruption which... I dunno. Fine?

TheKingofSprings posted:This seems...hard to evaluate but it also seems really easy to improve your opponent’s card quality if they sandbag lands? It seems absolutely awful, not only is it way below rate for its mana cost but it doesn't even put your opponent down a card when it connects. I don't really want to give my opponents half of a desperate ravings.

This should cost 3 mana. It would not be a very good card at 3 mana.

Allowing your opponent to keep bad cards in hand and turn them into good cards is a pretty huge drawback, and a 4/3 for 4 is a mediocre card so having a drawback is pretty bad.
