<Green Balanced Aether Vial> - 1GG
Enchantment
Discard a creature card from your hand: You may put a creature card with converted mana cost equal to the converted mana cost of the discarded card from your hand into play.
What do you think? JOrlove said something in a thread about there being other ways to have mana acceleration than to base it on moxen. He said to try basing it off Aether Vial and I was inspired. What do you think? It seems like it would inspire all kinds of reanimation hijinks, but that requires three cards to animate one. Anyway, what do you think?

This just seems broken. Discard random 8 mana guy, Akroma!

My thought is, how is this any less broken than Putrid Imp, Creature, Reanimate? This is slightly more expensive and requires two expensive fatties.
I kind of like the concept, and do acknowledge the possibility for broken. Would adding a Reanimate type life cost make this more balanced?

Dreams Halls for creatures is still Dream Halls.

[06:44pm] [JuJu] You should maybe put "Discard a creature card with cc of 5 or less and put a creature card from your hand into play with cc 5 or less Would that help? Or is the whole thing ridiculously overpowered? |

Dream Halls allows you to discard Suntail Hawk to get Akroma, though. This requires you to discard Avatar of Hope to get Akroma. Granted, you could also discard Avatar of Might to get Akroma, which Dream Halls won't let you do, but I think that converted mana cost is a much greater restriction than colour. Plus, it only works for creatures. I'm not saying that this isn't broken, but I don't think that the comparison to Dream Halls is merited. I'll have to think about this card before I deliver my final judgement. |

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.

Obviously two-cards combos are weaker than cards that are a combo by themselves. To me this just seems more broken than Aether Vial. |

*bump* I can see costing it at 2GG, but my question is, "Is this utterly reduced to brokendom?"

Anything that lets you completely ignore casting costs is almost always going to be broken, unless you weaken it to the point of being unplayable (or, unplayable outside of combo, depending on the card).

Make it a four mana sorcery. That way, it will always be weaker than natural order.
