Non-Alcoholic Myr? Works for me.

@ Painful Quandary - You'd have to pay 5 life. You'd cast the spell so now your hand is zero, THEN this goes off. If you have no cards in your hand you can not pay for discard costs.

That's how I would play it at least.

I just realized something: This game needs Death Rattle!
“If [this card] would be put into a graveyard from anywhere, [do some effect].”

I know we have SOME cards that do 'When this hits the GY, do this.' Like the Baloth, but I think a keyword is in order! Would be a neat mechanic to see, like Madness, but for free. Obviously you won't see "Death Rattle : Put a big token into play." You'll probably see more along the lines of "Death Rattle : Discard a card without Death Rattle, then draw a card." or "Gain 3 Life. Death Rattle : Gain 1 life." Would help combat milling (IDK how big of an issue this is tho ... I am sure it is popular in some format tho...) and discard annoyance (Megrim and Lilly Caress)

Just a random thought I had ...

LOL. Forgot there was a card called Death Rattle.

Just saying a keyword would be cool. Save space on a card. And ... be cool xD
And One With Nothing would actually be useful xD

Been reading up on the WoW TCG recently, so I am stuck in that mode right now. Check out this SWEET new card that I wish Magic could have.

because of the way resources work in WoW, there is no possible equivalent in Magic, and because of the way combat works in Magic, there's no way this could work in Magic.

Never say never. Resources are completely different then lands and mana and combat is totally different, but it could work. Maybe not a 5/5 for 0, 3/3 I think at THE MOST (since SoM is giving us a 1/1 for 0 and still with a drawback. It's hard coming up with a draw back in Magic, it's either TO BIG of a draw back or not big enough.

Just gonna go off and start theory-crafting so I will put it in a spoiler, but you are MORE then welcome to read on...

Necrotic Ooze

Creature - Ooze
As long as Necrotic Ooze is on the battlefield, it has all activated abilities of all creature cards in all graveyards.
4/3

I believe this card will be awesome in Big Deck. An aggressive body that copies effects from every graveyard. I look forward to seeing this guy abused.

Ratchet Bomb

T: Charge counter.
T, Sac: Destroy each nonland with CMC equal to the number of charge counters on ~.

Now we just need Power Conduit or Coretapper. Oh yeah, and then Sun Titan can bring it back. VERY NICE. Looking forward to getting one of these.

@ Ooze - OH THE CRAZINESS! Big Deck will NEVER be the same!

I want a playset, or maybe more. This is one of those crazy but fun cards you can build decks around.

you're only 11 years late. however, this thing does allow for charge counter fixing.

Spoiler:

wow! Urza's Incubator for everything (plus the cost of a card). imprint a card with two card types for double duty! however, it does remind me of Extraplanar Lens... not very good because of the card loss.

I still want it for my Artifact Big Deck.

What looks to be a cycle of dual lands:

Seachrome Coast
Land
Seachrome Coast enters the battlefield tapped unless you control two or fewer other lands.
Tap: Add W or U to your mana pool.
Rare

So drawback-free dual until you hit turn 4. Of course, nothing's as good as this guy, but maybe this will approach its awesomeness.

Also, a fetch and Valakut hoser:

Tunnel Ignus
1R
Creature - Elemental
Whenever a land enters the battlefield under an opponent's control, if that player had another land enter the battlefield under his or her control this turn, Tunnel Ignus deals 3 damage to that player.
2/1
Rare

Actually, this guy is awesome. I expect he'll see a lot of play, either in sideboards, or in RDW. And let's just say he's not too bad in Big Deck either. John O, put him in your Elemental deck!

MidniteEffort Fri Sep 17, 2010 10:10 am

i'm really liking this set. it has so many cards that will be worth bank that i want nothing to do with. tradesies! these include:

Mox Opal
Indomitable Archangel
Memoricide
Tunnel Ignus

i want all the dollar rares.

I like this card. +2/+2, makes my guy a Black Zombie, and gives me two Intimidates since I keep my original color. Plus, for 4 I can bring back a guy and slap this on him.

Spoiler:

I like this little guy. G for a 1/2 Reacher that only gets bigger when it Reaches? Very nice. I will definitely be using this guy in my G/W Leyline of Vitality deck.

Pretty sweet.

At least it is fitting for the color. :/

Frank Herbert, Children of Dune wrote:The sandtrout squirmed on his hand, elongating, stretching ... becoming thin, covering more and more of his hand. No sandtrout had ever before encountered a hand such as this one, every cell supersaturated with spice ... Delicately Leto adjusted his enzyme balance ... The knowledge from those uncounted lifetimes which blended themselves within him provided the certainty through which he chose the precise adjustments, staving off the death from an overdose which would engulf him if he relaxed his watchfulness for only a heartbeat. And at the same time he blended himself with the sandtrout, feeding on it, feeding it, learning it ... He located another, placed it over the first one ... Their cilia locked and they became a single membrane which enclosed him to the elbow ... This was no longer sandtrout; it was tougher, stronger. And it would grow stronger and stronger ... With a terrible singleness of concentration he achieved the union of his new skin with his body, preventing rejection ... They were all over his body now. He could feel the pulse of his blood against the living membrane ... My skin is not my own.
