BWM sparked some random creativity I guess :

Xantid Stealer (ofcourse this can be changed!)
1U
Creature -- Wizard
Whenever ~this~ deals combat damage to a player, you may gain control of target creature that player controls.
0/1

It's cheap, yet conditional. I was thinking I'd make it U, but that could be too redicioulous in conjunction with stuff like bonesplitter. So 1U it is. Whaddayaguysthink? Wink

Seems fine to me (thought the name blows hardcore), because if the opponent has any creatures at all he'll just block this.

This is your fourth open thread, and you aren't doing anything with the trigger-one. I'm going to close this until one of your other cards is done.

Assuming Rudy's "shoot it down" message meant that his trigger card should be closed, I locked it and re-opened[/color] this one.

So, this should be made a little stronger? Maybe give it Flying?

If you give it flying, it needs to cost at least four mana.

This card is useless without something to pump it's power.

Assigning 0 combat damage is the same as not dealing damage at all.

GOOD. A 1U card that grants lots and lots of non-Disenchantable Control Magics should need a little help.

Not at all. This needs to get through unblocked, and it needs to somehow get power (not easy for a blue creature), before it can start stealing things. It's a completely different card.

Yes. Exactly why I worded it this way.

Now the real issue at hand: does it need a small powerboost? Note I do NOT want to upgrade the CC. I wanna avoid it at all costs.

I think it's fine. The only change we could make would be to make it 0/2, but I like it better as an 0/1.

I mentioned this in the 'Xantid Destroyer' thread, but it bears saying here as well. What is 'Xantid'? If it's the location from which the original swarm came, all's well and good. If it is the kind of insect that comprised the original swarm, then all of these 'Xantid' cards are implying specialized Xantid insects. I'm all for avoiding the name 'Xantid' altogether.

Call it Seditionist. He's the guy who comes over to your side of the board and talks your creatures into fighting for his side.
