Time Vortex

[asmoranomardicodais]

Yeah, so I know people get annoyed at cards in this forum that are trying to fix power cards, but I had to at least see what people thought of this fix of timetwister. I was thinking about timetwister, and I realized that there are only two times it really is broken, ie:

1. In vintage where you can get moxen out and then play this to get mana over the opponent.

2. In combo decks

So, I made it green/blue, since graveyard recusrion is also a green ability. Making it multicolored also limits its abusablilty. I like this version, and I think it is still powerful without being abusable. Here it is:

Time Vortex
2GU
Sorcery

Remove Time Vortex from the game.
Return all artifacts and enchantments to owner's hands, then each player shuffles his or her hand and graveyard into his or her library, and draws seven cards. You tap all lands you control.

Hopefully no one thinks its too inelegant. Anyone like it? Also, should I have it drain the mana pool as well as tap all your lands, or does it make it more interesting this way?

Welcome to the club of "people who want to create a playable and not broken draw 7"!
Hope you find the good way to do it.

I personally dislike that card. It seems too weak but then again, it is more balanced than a vanilla draw 7.

To say nothing on the card's power or actual functions... why is this green?  Remnisce is a blue card (shuffle your graveyard back), Reduce to Dreams / Rebuild are blue cards, Upheaval is a blue card, Abstract draw spells are blue cards... Not a single part of this card is green =/

This is green mainly to balance the card. If this were just blue, I'd feel that it was overpowered. I chose green because green it had the most to do with graveyard shuffling like this other than just blue (Gaea's Blessing). However, I'm open to changing it so it more fully reflects green's nature.

They did make a fixed Timetwiser - Sway of the Stars (Timetwister was obviously intended to be a "start the game over" card). And as bad as it looks, it DOES see Block play.
