Naturalizing Pulse

Remove target artifact or enchantment from the game, you gains life equal to its converted mana cost.

I think this might be undercosted.  Just exiling an artifact or enchantment is 2WW, so plus 1W from Disenchant (see Altar's Light), and gaining life is +1 from Disenchant and sorcery speed (see Terashi's Grasp).

Altar's Light feels very overcosted, probably cos it was printed in Mirrordin where it was more of a instant Vindicate then a disenchant.

Terashi's Grasp is a good comparison thou, and looking at that maybe 1GW would be a more appropriate cost... doesn't feel as stylish thou and defiantly not playable =/  But yea, it is probably the appropriate cost.

Terashi's Grasp is a bit overcosted because of it being an Arcane spell.  I think this would be a perfectly fine card to push, because it's not like it can be used proactively.  WG for it rather than 1WG is just so much more exciting.  I think something like Aura Mutation or Artifact Mutation could be a fair comparison.  They only hit one type of card, but making Saprolings is way stronger than gaining life.

I think the card should be named something other than "Pulse" though, because cards with the name "Pulse" tend to have multipliable effects (e.g Pulse of the Forge, Maelstrom Pulse, Shattering Pulse, etc.).

You  got any suggestions for a name? Unleashed lifeforce? Burst of Life? Naaah, Burst cycle already exist but yea....

The flavour text I also feel could use a change...

How about this:

Life Bolt
  {2} {G} {W}
Instant
Remove target artifact or enchantment from the game, you gains life equal to its converted mana cost.

BTW, Master Mage isn't a real card, it's just one I made up. Razz

jro was right, the card seems a bit undercosted. Fast, deadly and gives you life? That seems a bit too much for a  {W} {G} cost.

I'd be fine at 1GW Sorcery or 2GW Instant.  I don't think 2 mana is right at all.

4 mana and two colored is defiantly not right (and life bolt is just a horrible name ^^ especially for something that isn't a bolt) at least.  {1} {G} {W} would probably be the fair, but not very interesting cost (for that cost anyone in there right minds rather play naturalize unless it was printed in a set full of expensive artefacts that needed to be exiled and supported  {G} {W} or it was block constructed with no better options).

I think it is marginally better then naturalize, exiled doesn't matter at least 7 times out of 10, the life gain is nice and could sometimes be relevant, but it is not astonishing.

I guess that could do. (Life Bolt  was just something I came up with in the moments notice so Razz) Why not a hybrid cost instead?

Other thoughts for names:
Life Remedy
Life Force
Nature Energy
Life Flash

again, all of these at the top of my head Razz

Vengence of the Lifeforce?

Nature's Vengence?


Why would it be hybrid? It could be straight green (then we're probobly talking CMC4 unplayable card thou) but why hybrid? Since Disenchant moved to green it does not feel all white (and yea hyrbid also feels CMC4 unplayable).

 not a  {W} {G} hybrid but the other type of hybrid like Wasp Lancer in the Mortal Coil ( {U} {B} ) theme. Why not make it that type of hybrid?

Other names:

Overgrowth
Vitallity Blast
Essence Complexion'
Oversoul

Yes, that is the only kind of hybrid. But a hybrid card must work as both just one color and just the other. A 3/2 flyger like Wasp Lancer is acceptable both as a  {B} {B} {B} creature and a  {U} {U} {U} since both blue and black got flying faeries and decent midd since flyger.

But I  don't really see why this should be a hybrid...

It offers more options. But then again, this isn't my card.

Ofc it does, but that makes it more powerful. And I don't think it needs that, nor am I sure it really fits as a white hybrid since disenchant went green. And yea hybrids are still pretty rare.

Well, not anymore with the Alara Reborn set here. All the cards in that set are pretty much multi-colored and many offer hybrid costs for either cycling or playing them.
