Mirrodin Block Wishlist

[Troy_Costisick]

Heya,

No doubt there's a lot of excitement and anticipation about the new Mirrodin block coming up.  What are some cards you would love to see in it?  They don't have to be just reprints.  What types of cards do you hope make it into the next three sets?

Here's mine:

1RR "Red Planeswalker"

+1: Destroy target artifact.
-2: Destroy target non-basic land.
-7: Destroy all artifacts and non-basic lands controlled by your opponents.

Loyalty: 5

What's yours?

Peace,

-Troy

Some decent instant speed draw spell that is playable in vintage? Preferably blue.

Also:
Kill, death, destroy! - 1B
Instant
Destroy target nonblack creature or destroy target planeswalker.

[DubDub]

Buried Alive for artifacts.  Or something that would work in Control Slaver without just strengthening Tezzerret.

How about a Treasure Hunt variant, like:

Relic Hunt 
Instant
Reveal cards from the top of your library until you reveal an artifact card with converted mana cost 1 or more.  If you do, put all artifact cards revealed in this way into your hand and the rest on the bottom of your library in a random order.  Otherwise put the revealed cards on the bottom of your library in a random order.

That's probably too powerful, but the point would be that the spell is sick with the eternal formats' Moxen, while still requiring you to run artifacts with CMC > 0 in order to get the cards.  Maybe  Sorcery would be more fair.

That would still be ridiculously broken.    , draw a bunch of Moxes, Black Lotus, Lotus Petal, Chrome Moxes, and then a Belcher.  I don't recommend printing that card.

Subway Eat Fresh
2RR - Sorcery

Players play a Sandwich Punch subgame, using any comestibles they own from outside the game as sandwiches.  Each player who loses the subgame loses half his or her life, rounded up.

If a player owns or controls no sandwich, that player loses the subgame.

"Get it?  SUB-game.  SUB-game!!!  Cuz it's SANDWICHES bwaaa ahahahahaha"

okay okay OT Edit - I really hope that the R/W and B/G swords suck way less than Sword of Mind/Body.  They would both be amazing in Legacy if they don't suck; RW is protection from Good Removal, and BG is protection from Goyf, Tombstalker, Marit Lage, etc...

Oh absolutely, I just like broken cards.

Blue Recurring nightmare for artifacts ... That would be a pretty nice one.
Maybe this would end to be tinker 2-5 ... Damn...

Or

1BB - legendary creature

Pay half your Life rounded up and Return "this" to it's owners Hand: Return Target creature from your graveyard to play.

Yeah I really love that Exodus enchantment

I think this is definitely too good and would break ritual combo wiiide open.

"Those that preceded us were just bounced..."

Wow. Those are all super-cool cards. I think the Trap should probably be a bit easier to hard-cast than that though. I'd perhaps make the actual mana cost something kinda prohibitive for Tezz but good for other decks. Here are some ideas for the actual mana cost.

UUU5

UBB4

UWGB3

perhaps even something like:

UU2 + Sac 2 creatures when you play it OR you can play it for 0 without the sac if the trap condition is met.

I think UU2 + Sac 2 dudes might be too good, but it's an avenue to consider.

-Storm

[M.Solymossy]

The only thing that can save this format.

Instant 0
Split Second
Absolute zero:  This card costs zero, even if other cards would make it cost more.
Exile target Artifact, Creature, or Planeswalker.  Exhile this spell upon Resolution.
0:  Return this card from your graveyard to your hand.  Play this ability at Instant Speed as if it had Split Second.
This card has Shroud as long as it's in the graveyard.

After reading the FTV: Relics player's guide thing yesterday, I thought they were setting up a Karn (or other artifact dude) planeswalker.  I want to see an artifact walker almost as much as I want to see efficient walker hate.

Time Stretch costs 8UU and was printed in tenth, and that card is strictly better in every possible way lol.

Thanks Storm!  I was thinking that a card like that would have the interesting effect of making you liable of falling into the same trap you cast.  Key->Vault, after a turn, Time Trap!, then after me taking two turns a Tez opponent could Time Trap me.  I'd have fun in that sort of high interactivity strategy setting.  Exile the damn Vault cause then it's a battle of spells, rather than "omg cool infinite turns again."   

Maybe a less prohibitive cost would work, so long as it wouldn't effect Type 2.

WOW! Overpower! Seems that this is a WISHlist...

Let's see:

Thoughtcast Twist
Sorcery
{2U}
Affinity for XXX (This spell costs less to play for each basic land type among lands you control.
Lose two life, then draw two cards.
 
Maybe {3U}?  Let me draw!!

That seems better accomplished by 'domain', which has been keyworded, and is unlikely to return so soon.  Although, if it did I'd cost this at  , and then have it be a super brainstorm to draw four cards and put two back on top of one's library.  Not sure why Night's Whisper's lifeloss is in here.

Instant speed I hope?

[zeus-online]

Hmm since everyone is just throwing insane cards out there....

I'll draw me some cards -    (Seems likely with Jace's ingenuity?)
Instant
Draw three cards.

Night's whisper go home -   (Seems really likely just after See beyond)
Sorcery
Draw two cards.

They're definetly not going to print these, but hey! they are about as undercosted as the rest of the cards in this thread.

Actually....1U brainstorm and instant speed compulsive research would be fine.

Seething Symphony
R2
Sorcery

Seething Symphony is uncounterable.
Add RRRR to your mana pool.  The next spell you play can't be countered by spells or abilities.
Draw a card.

[BC]

Essence of the Aether
Artifact
 
 : Add  to your mana pool.
If Essence of the Aether is in your opening hand and you are not playing first, you may exile Essence of the Aether and another card from your hand.  If you do, take an extra turn.

[Delha]

Essence of the Aether
Artifact
 
 : Add   to your mana pool.
If Essence of the Aether is in your opening hand and you are not playing first, you may exile Essence of the Aether and another card from your hand.  If you do, take an extra turn.

This sounds DAMN cool. Unplayable, I suspect, but you never know. Also, it's a really really neat idea, IMHO, unlike the several "undercosted draw spell #45" variants here. I think I've like most of the cards suggested here so far that didn't include the word "draw".

PS. "Seething Symphony" excluded from that last statement, since the cantrip is obviously not the primary function.

Spells you control cost up to  less to cast.

Huge Monster Guy
 

When Huge Monster Guy comes into play tap all the lands target player controls. They do not untap the next turn.

Almost as broken as my card draw spells. And pretty good with them!
