Recruit
 
Sorcery
Search your library for a creature card with converted mana cost 2 or less and put it into play. Shuffle your library.This sort of goes with my other card: Monk Actualist. I was thinking about all the awesome white hoser creatures for two mana like True Believer, Meddling Mage and Kataki, War's Wage. It would be nice to always have the hoser you need. Thus, this card. I'm not sure if it's too strong. The CMC restriction prevents this from being Tinker-broken, so it's essentially a narrow one-mana tutor. Are there any cards that break this? Does it need to fetch a white creature card?

This should be an instant, for the combat tricks potential. It also seems sort of green to me, but might be fine in white also...

We already made a card with this name...I'd be willing to change it and let you haveb the name but you have to give me a name for the older card.

I don't think this card would make a good instant. Instant tutoring is pretty powerful and this card isn't meant to be a combat trick. It's supposed to get you the creature you need. I don't think it should be green either. Green is the color of creature-searching in general, yes, but white is the weenie color, most of the good two-drops this would fetch are white and it has a white flavor of "recruiting" a creature to your cause. Eladamri's Call proves that creature searching is at least somewhat white.
When coming up with a name for this, enlist and recruit were pretty much interchangable. This card feels more like recruit to me, and the old recruit would be a better candidate for enlist. Thesaurus says: draft, enlist, enroll, induct, levy, or muster.

I like the card, but I think its more of a white ability though. its pretty powerfull, so I wouldnt make it a sorcery.

Yes,Tarmogoyf is probably better than Chameleon Colossus, but comparing it to Tarmogoyf is like comparing your girlfriend to Carmen Electra - one's versatile and reliable, the other's just big and cheap.(And you'd run both if you could get away with)

Should we pump this to 4 mana? I'm worried about the problems we had with the rebel chain, where even though we were losing mana, we were getting ridiculous creatures. Or could we restrict this to white creatures, so no one fetches Bob or Goblin Recruiter or something abusive like that. It seems like 2W to get only white creatures is in line with the original intent anyway.

I think the whole point was to be like Imperial Recruiiter.

Rebels generated ridiculous amounts of card advantage. This doesn't. I'm still open to the idea of making this white creatures only, so if anyone thinks being able to fetch Dark Confidant and Wild Mongrel is too strong, you have 24 hours to say so.
In other words, 24h clock.

I think this is a pretty good uncommon for the set (it would be uncommon, right?). If cost is even slightly an issue, why not just make it 1WW to avoid the whole finding a bob or mongrel thing slightly too (the logic being 1WW is hard to carry along with other 2 drops that require different colors.)?

... On another note, this is quite a strong card. It seems very balanced, and it also looks like it has a lot of tension within it; do you play a combat trick to save a creature, or do you play another creature at instant speed? |
