Reminds me a lot of Elephant Ambush - except you nix the flashback and give it more splashability.  Seems a bit to ungreen to be giving out trample for less than GG in the casting cost.

I think this would be fun as one of the "deattach" equipment with a low equip cost.  It's like reloading another dart or something.  Otherwise you could go crazy with blowgun.

This seems a bit overpowered...maybe haste or first strike, but not both.  Two colors isnt that bad of a drawback.

Narrowed as requested.  Happy?!  :lol:

@Guardian - I don't think that the effects are that random.  This was an attempt at screwing with the final fortune concept.  Instead of the extra turn, you net two cards and 4 damage at the additional cost of 7 life.  Although the wording might be a little awkward (this is my first attempt at card creation), the effect follows in the footsteps of stupid red "gambit" cards.

@xthepunisherx - The card seems pretty blanced to me, even if it does have a crappy effect...i love to beat people with burn decks.. this is what came to mind  .  They can always pack a counterspell.

This is my first time to try this out, so dont expect anything special.  Here we go.


Desperate Exertion --- R
Sorcery
Deal 3 damage to target creature or player
You lose 8 life.
"I may yet have the last laugh"

EDIT: Made it less complicated

How about someting to do with light and dark...like Dusk's Dawn or Impending Dawn?

Or you could go with a good vs evil war theme...Tides of War?


Just a thought

Is the mono green version of this deck just not worth consideration at all due to the fact that it doesnt have counters?  It seems to still be viable with a couple of modifications...

I cannot see a reason for serum powder and the deck does need disruption...so why not kill the powder for 4 duress? (or 3 if you insist on having one of R&D's new creations)

I dont think tangleroot is the way to go since most of your stuff that needs a color is black, and it costs more than carnival.  A solution does need to be found for the life loss though.
    I also want to point out that chrome mox should be taken from the list.  Most of your cards are colorless, making this card a burden rather than a mana accelerant.

Good luck on the deck.
