Vengeful purist would mess up legacy so hard, it's completely unfair.

The Fiery Barrage would be a red answer to things like a Thragtusk. Also things like a Primordial Hydra or a Nimbus Swimmer could be easily stopped with any amount of X. It would work against hexproof and shroud, as well as protection and regeneration (although those aren't really that common anymore). Basically a kind of red counterspell.

Actually this could be worked into a keyword, like:
Spellburn (This spell may target a creature spell instead of a creature permanent. If a creature spell is targeted this way, the damage this spell would normally deal is compared to the printed toughness of the creature spell. If the toughness is equal or lower to the damage, the spell is countered. If it isn't, the spell will resolve normally but the creature enters the battlefield with damage marked on it equal to the damage this spell would normally deal.)

"Jorek The Enforcer" could have a frost effect +1, the same as Tamiyo, the Moon Sage. Or some sort of draw effect?

It's perhaps a bit overcosted, mine. I was worried that costing it too low would seriously break it. Ideas that I can think of for that card include tightly controlling your graveyard and using this card to draw things that you want to use over and over and over.

You're right, it basically just turns your graveyard into another library, but I thought that would be a neat effect for people who a- have decks that can manipulate their graveyards properly, or b- Had very good knowledge of their deck and can predict whether they will get a better draw from the graveyard or the library.

Peaceful slumber seems like it could be very interesting, very nice. Sacred forest could I think afford to be as written for 4GG, and acute cultivation seems interesting. Tutor for any land at instant speed and cantrip? Yes, I'm in.

I think my card teeters on the line between broken and unplayable. It takes some sort of manipulation to get the right positioning, but then you pick the card out of your graveyard that makes you win, in theory.

My card needs the "shuffle"-clause after searching for a land card. Oops.

Yeah. I forgot that. Good card anyway.

I forgot to include it when I submitted it - my bad.

I just thought "What would I love to have in a 2-4-6 mana-cost ramp deck, like Wolf Run from last season?"

@KrazyCaley - I could totally see an Esper deck running that alongside Peaceful Slumber. Imaginary WotC should probably reprint Paraselene in that imaginary set.

I think Hell's Edict is awesome. It should probably cost RB though because its bleeding a Mind Control/Rise from the Grave effect into mono-red. As for Purity...it's interesting, but I think "this card may only be cast by mana produced by Basic Lands" would be sufficient for wording, or "lands that share a color identity with this card" could be another way to look at it. This way it's hard for anything but RDW to run this, and run it they would.

I think Gripjaw would be a perfect commander if he cost 4RUG. Maybe a tad win-more in any other format though.

Valas is really strong. Good synergy with Boros, except at 6 mana you should have most of your creatures out of your hand, so you wouldn't activate Knighthood as much as you'd think.

Mad Bomber is probably my 2nd favorite of all the chosen cards, although I'd like it if it cost 2R...maybe that's greedy though lol

Also, if Tokens are cards they have a CMC of zero by extension, so I guess the question is... If it ends up in your hand does it act like Living End but with no alternate cost?
I guess...discard your hand?

No mana cost is different than zero mana cost. There is a card with no mana cost. It's a splice card. I forget what it is. But you can't a it on its own. I think tokens old end up the same way.

The non-land cards with no casting cost are Evermind, Restore Balance, Ancestral Vision, Living End, Wheel of Fate, Hypergenesis, and Lotus Bloom. Empty costs can't be paid, so the only way to cast them is by way of an effect that lets you cast something "without paying its mana cost" (like the Time Spiral cards do for themselves with the Suspend ability).

Exactly. That is what would happen to the tokens. I just want to bounce a token army and then play Storm Seeker. Or wrath my token army for a beastly Mortivore

Re: Vengeful Purist

My concept for the card was a militant environmentalist. The kind of person who spray paints fur coats, sits in front of dozers, and burned her bra despite not having any real need for one. Maybe the art would include some cats. I was also thinking of the Lorwyn elves and how they were obsessed with perfection. The idea of a land that is both a swamp and forest would probably offend a purist. Hence, the card is a creature and an elf.

The number of lands it might destroy is completely unfair. In return, you get one basic. That's why the casting cost is so specific - 1GGG. I thought about making it 1RGG. You might need to play non-basics to cast her. But the mixed mana cost flies in the face of the purist concept and mana fixing can be achieved easily without lands... especially with elves. Still, I'd fully expect the card to be banned in EDH. Not so sure about legacy.

If tokens could be cast with no mana cost, storm decks would rampage.

On Jorek The Enforcer

I like what you're thinking here, this is a planeswalker for a tempo build. I'm wondering, would giving a creature haste work better as the +1, and bouncing be either a 0 or a -1...I know Jace, the Mind Sculptor was OP with his -1 being that very ability. But he also had a fateseal to keep you ahead...so that's a different story.

You might be onto something with the Frost effect...it's strong for tempo, as it makes a threat go away...but I still think I agree with squire1 that protection as a + effect is too strong.

What do you think about dropping the "your opponent may not cast spells or activate abilities..." rider on the ultimate?
