Stolen Blue Prints.....

[serracollector]

Ok, I know this card is broken to hell, but this is still the original text.  I think it would be good in the current meta for t2 and t1, as by the time u cast it in t2 (if you were crazy enough to play it) it wouldn't be a "gauranteed" win, and if you did manage to cast it in t1, 9 times out of 10 you would honeslty have to ask yourself..."what am I gonna choose?"  Also, with the Sorcery slowness, the fact that it coast double fo 2 colors, you lose half your life, and it can be MisDirected (or shunted LOL)  I think it actually is fairly balanced despite its obvious power.

Sorcery
As an additional cost to Stolen Blue Prints lose half your life rounded up.

When you play Stolen Blue Prints, choose a card type other than land (the card types are creature, enchantment, artifact, land, sorcery, and instant), look through target players library and remove all cards of the chosen type from the game.

Thanx.

dosnt this work like a cabal therapy effect where they decide whether its countered first before they choose the effect. I. E. you play this they missdirect it back at you and you name enchantment removing nothing from the game. and all the missdirection did was save all his lands/patogs. I dont think this card is feasible in T2. this would shut down the entire artifact deck. you would leave glimmervoids and not much else. This card should not be printed ever. Period.

I don't have a problem with it. The name is totally wrong, but the effect is fine for the cost.

It hurts artifact decks? So don't print it in an artifact block. Why do you think blood moon and wasteland weren't reprinted in invasion block? It's simple enough to keep cards that hurt a block away from that block.

Um, wow. Four mana, remove all your win conditions from the game?

[serracollector]

Hmm....well see I play more t1, and in t1 this card doesn't read "4 Mana, remove all win conditions" it reads "4 mana of double 2 colors, lose 1/2 your life at sorcery speed and if this card doesn't get countered, choose something and hope it win's you the game".  In t1, honestly by the time u get this out, your opponent probably has a counter back up, already has at least one win condition in hand, or has already won.  If you think it is too powerful, don't just say that, give me some suggestions on how to fix it.  Also, any suggestison for the name then??   Thanx.

There's really no way to fix a card that says "remove all creatures in an opponent's library from the game". Or lands, lands would be fucking devastating too.

[skecreatoR]

Sometimes cards can't be fixed. That was what I learned, the hard way. Either they are balanced, a little overpowered, maybe even a little underpowered, but this is simple: It is broken. And damn broken. There is acceleration, you know?

Imho, there is no way to fix this.

[serracollector]

ya, read it first maybe, it says name a card type OTHER than lands.  And even with the acceleraation of t1, u would need a lotus, a swamp and an  appropiatley colored Mox.  God hand anyone?  When u really look at this card its just a denying wind, that costs 1/2 as much, but can be misdirected, u lose half your life, and is actually harder to cast.  What is u tacked on the blue disability of losing a turn as well??  Or making it cost 6 mana, 3 of each color?  IMHO I don't see this as being all that broken even in its current form, but eh.  More suggestions?

If you won't take the time to type legibly, you shouldn't be surprised if no one bothers to read what you write.
