Just not a Platinum Angel

Rusty Angel
Creature-something
CC: 4
10/10
You can't win the game and your opponent can't loose the game


Yes, it's welderable, which makes it good, however, if the opponent has a bargain or something like that, he can just topdeck his deck...
So it DOES have its disadvantages, besides, it has to compete with Juggy's...


Rusted Angel
Creature-Angel
CC: 4
7/7
Flying

Heh, cute. 10/10 seems a little big, though. What about a 7/7?

If it is an angel, shouldn't it have flying? Or did you intentionally leave it earthbound to signify its rustiness?

By the way, lose is the opposite of win. Loose is the opposite of tight.

Nah, it wasn't really meant to be an angel... I just wanted it to mirror Platinum Angel...



What's so big about a 10/10?? You have to waste a card AGAIN to kill it...

Well, 7/7 is still big enough to kill in three turns, but it's not so huge that your opponent just can't deal with it. A 10/10 for 4 needs a drawback worse than Leveler's; this just isn't that bad.

7/7 might even be cutting it a lil high...

maybe a 6/6 with trample or a 5/5 with flying...

you aren't going to play this card unless you have an easy way to ditch it, so it isn't THAT much of a drawback...

DO note that the opponent can go suicidal too...


If he has a bargain in play he can draw his library...

10/10 is much too big. It's very easy to get rid of this once you've swung your opponant down to <1 life.

So... You guys think a 5/5 flyer would be enough??

I really don't want this to suck...

I think most of you are being to scared of this. Are you scared of Leveler? I didn't think so. 7/7 Flying is fine. This should at least be able to pummel Akroma out of the sky. (as in: Akroma good, ~this~ bad!)

Funkily enough, this card is pretty close to what I heard Platinum Angel would be before the unofficial spoilers came out...a 7/7 mana flyer for 4 mana that states that neither player can win the game.

Also, 'Rusty Angel'? Sounds like a female country singer. Change it, yo.

What about Platinum Demon? That'd be a mirror....in that case, don't give it flying but make it big for its cost. A 6/6 for 4, for example.

This drawback is so much weaker than Leveler's.

Not really, good players won't use this with Juggy around...

and Bad players won't use Angel-destruction...

How does this even work?

I'm at 5. You attack me with a 5/5 ~this~. No blocks. Damage on the stack? You respond by Weldering / saccing my ~this~. I lose?

Yes you do !

Note that the opponent can't go crazy with this and Yawgmoth's Bargain or Necropotence in play, because you can't pay life you don't have.

You still need to finalize the name/creature type and fix the misspelling.

A "rusted" platinum angel is shown on Oxidize, a card not much like this one. Should we give this a different name?

The 24 hours only counts if there are no replies. Since this card still has issues, you need to keep working on it.

since I started the clock, no real issues came up...


The art of another card doesn't really prohibit naming another card to something that's seen on that art...
