Never played Dwarf Fortress, so I can't comment on that, but the first two cards are really interesting. I like getting the extra value from the carapace. I'm imagining an aristocrats deck, using this to put out Doomed Traveler or something, but the magma crab is way too strong for 3 mana. If you hard mill yourself, you could one shot someone with that.EsperCormorant wrote: ↑6 days agoScuttlerush
Creature - Crab (U)
As long as Scuttlerush's power is greater than its toughness, it can't be blocked.

SCREAM FOR ME!!!! But I like the designs here, Praya Dubia especially is really cool. I do think that she should get weaker each turn that she isn't controlling something ("put a -1/-1 counter at end step if you don't control a creature you don't own.") but I also see that it might be too wordy at that point.Sporegorger_Dragon wrote: ↑6 days agoFoaming Fiddler

Great flavor, very iconic event to reference and a great bit of matching the mechanics to the flavor. I feel like scry is a very fitting mechanic for a Theros-set card. There's two awkward snarls: the first is the relatively high cost for a card this situational (I'd rather get control of a creature than an artifact or enchantment, which is available around five mana without the legendary restriction, though I suppose in the right set this gets better), and the second is the game's general dislike of scry values 5 and up. Just a bit of a weird realization of a strong concept.chetoos wrote: ↑4 days agoKiora's Nautical Heist

I don't get the planeswalker thing: does it symbolize Mishra empowering Yawgmoth? The permanent black mana ramp is almost presented as a sort of afterthought when it really isn't, and the fact that the token enters untapped means you can immediately follow up with, say, a boardwipe. It's a very under-the-radar card that will sometimes give you a permanent doubling of your mana base and a planeswalker ultimate on the same turn, and I don't know if I like that.Volrath the Risen wrote: ↑3 days agoMishra Embraces Phyrexia

Not holding a GU card for a WUBRG character against you: it's got precedent. A bit of a weird effect: I like the safety valve where you can only get a spell for free if one's already in your graveyard, but the restriction makes me wonder whether this'll be a dead draw too often. And why the not-quite-mill tacked on at the end? This card just doesn't come together for me, unfortunately.void_nothing wrote: ↑2 days agoGarth's Masterful Casting

Some more leylines to complete a potential cycle, I like it! I really like building on the "do a thing, get a bonus" that the already spoiled leyline contributes to. I do think that the blue and green leylines could have their card advantage improved slightly (looting on a potentially 4 mana enchantment feels weak, considering Coastal Piracy), but solid designs.

No idea which set this is from, but it's interesting. It's a way better ponder, but it needs you to have a legend out... Maybe cut it down to just draw 1 card, since you already have so much card selection in there.
