Shunt World   {R} Enchant World Remove a card in your hand from the game: Change the target of target spell with a single target. Any player may play this ability. *** Heh, it's 1:20 in the morning, so of course I'm engaged in the ill-advised practice of designing while tired. Obviously, for starters, this card's name needs to be changed. I just wanted to create a clear tie-in to Darksteel's Shunt, so there'd be no question why I made this red, instead of blue (although unlike Shunt, this has a lot of potential for creating chaos, which is a nice side effect). I had initially intended to call it "Hall of Mirrors," but that doesn't sound particularly red. Anyhow, I'm not exactly sure what it should cost. My first thought was  {R}, since it's a reusable Shunt, but I decided to knock it down a little bit, since it's symetric. |

Did you know that Red is the color or art and music and passion? Combine that with Green, the color of nature, spiritualism, and community and you get a hippie commune of drum circles, dreamcatchers, and recreational drug use. Let's see that win a Pro Tour.

Enchant World or Legendary Enchantment? In any case, this is way cool  . |

Technically it should be World Enchantment.
I LOVE this card, let's turn the flavor cannon on full blast.

Matt, could you explain what is the difference between World Enchantment and Enchant World?
As for the card, Ibelieve you got it right on the first try:
- Great effect.
- Balanced.
- Generally fun card.
What I like is the fact that you can provoke a discard war to react to the opponent's decision unless you don't care. Great job.

It's really symmetric, and when a player "uses" its effect, the opponent can just discard a card to "counter" the other's player's activation. In the end it's so symmetric tha I would feel lowering its casting cost by another colorless mana...  |

Guardian -- there is no difference between an Enchant World and a World Enchantment -- they just don't use the former term anymore. Look at gatherer and you'll see that all old instances of "Enchant World" are classified as "World Enchantments" now.
Malhavoc, we can consider lowering the cost later. It's an adequate playtesting cost, so unless there's a really good reason why this should cost the same as Shunt, I'm going to leave it where it is.
I am also considering changing this into an ordinary global enchantment. Matt, I know you love world enchantments, but I'm also wary of creating cards that have no support from Wizards. If, as we have claimed in the past, we want Wizards to eventually take our set(s) seriously, it may be important to acknowledge that the World Enchantment type is no longer supported. It is flavourful, but it doesn't really affect the card one way or another.
Either way, here are some possible names:
Erratic Orbit
Lunatic Fringe
Ataxia
Entropy Moon

I hereby call this card "Ataxia." It is no longer a World Enchantment, but simply an ordinarly global enchantment.

That name really isn't flavorful at all. :(

Heres a name idea:
Seductive Chaos
The seductive comes form the fact that you want to use it as much as possible but you know the opponent feels the same way
Chaos is pretty obvious.

I'd rather name the card based on the mechanic itself, Fall-Titan. The name you've suggested plays off metainformation about the mechanic, which I don't wish to do in this case. If people don't like this name, I'd like more commentary (particularly from Jacob Orlove) with better recommendations. I'd also really like to know why Ataxia (loss of the ability to coordinate muscular movement) poorly describes this card. Each player can discard cards to induce an ataxic fit that causes an opponent's aim to go awry.

Ataxia didn't seem flavorful because I didn't know that it was a real word. I suspect most players will also assume it's fictional.

:(frown): I really liked Ataxia. Oh well, Lunatic Fringe is also pretty good, so I'll use that, instead. 24 Hour Clock.
