This looks so innocent....

Mizzium Myr

Shroud, Indestructible

Mizzium Myr can't attack.

Spells and abilities your opponents control can't cause you to sacrifice Mizzium Myr.

If Mizzium Myr would be put into a graveyard, it's owner shuffles it back into their library instead.

If Mizzium Myr is assigned damage that would cause it to be destroyed, the resulting damage is dealt to the creature Mizzium Myr is blocking.

0/1

it looks innocent when its 1000 tall too!

I think that looks to be about 1.5-2.0 times as much text than can fit on a card. I think Marath, Will of the Wild is maxed out, so even adding the errata would be just over, so compare it to that?

The last ability doesn't work... it's indestructible, so the replacement will never trigger with that wording.

The last text of it doesn't work/make sense since indestructable prevents lethal damage I think. Now if it was like "combat damage dealt to mizzium myr is dealt to the source instead." That wording also allows trample damage to go through as well like it should and not backfire onto the source of the damage.

Love the art, I lol'd.MagicalHacker

How about condensing all of the abilities into a shorter handed style? For example,

Shroud, indestructible, can't be sacrificed due to spells or abilities controlled by opponents, if Mizzium Myr would be put into a graveyard, shuffle it into it's owners library instead. Prevent all damage that would be dealt to you by a creature blocked by Mizzium Myr.

Still too much?

The shuffle it back ability isn't really relevant. It will only hit the graveyard in fringe cases. That would leave us with a reasonable amount of text.

Shroud, indestructibleMizzium Myr can't attack.Spells and abilities your opponents control can't cause you to sacrifice Mizzium Myr.Prevent all combat damage dealt to Mizzium Myr. Deal that much damage to the creature that dealt the damage.

I'd also cut the whole anti sac engine there. It makes it a little too good especial at a 2 drop that is basically a strictly better Fog Bank since it has a similar effect but there's so much more.

Serra_Sentinel says... #9

If I gave it +1/+1 and made it a four drop, cut the ant sac clause and shuffle ability, would that make it "fair"?

May 14, 2015 8:55 p.m.

sergiodelrio says... #10

I think it would be fair at though... like Fog Bank+Tajuru Preserver

Also use defender to save space.

May 14, 2015 8:55 p.m. Edited.

With the can't attack clause, is reach still pushing it since it can't attack?

I actually feel like this is so strong, it needs "If Mizzium Myr leaves the battlefield, its owner loses the game.".

May 14, 2015 9:01 p.m. Edited.

True. Because, in Temur, if it leaves the battlefield, you were doing it wrong anyway. Though, I guess Council's Judgment is a thing to worry about.

May 14, 2015 9:03 p.m.

This... is pretty bonkers...

Why not

  • Defender, hexproof, indestructible

  • Can't be sac'd

  • Another ability

You know you've been to invested in this website when you fangirl over a name like FAMOUSWATERMELON on your thread...

May 14, 2015 9:06 p.m.

Wut

May 14, 2015 9:07 p.m.

Too**

And that seems like a really good way to arrange it on a card facepalms.

May 14, 2015 9:07 p.m.

Replacement effects don't trigger, and indestructible is not a prevention effect. #nitpick

May 14, 2015 9:08 p.m.

I just see the name around a lot. And there's no such thing as "fanboying".

It should be an indestructible 0/1 with tap: draw a card

That went out to me, right? I'm so good with the rules xD

May 14, 2015 9:10 p.m.

Just addressing various inaccuracies in the thread so far.

May 14, 2015 9:11 p.m.

Interesting how you immediately think that I'm a guy... But that's not the subject of discussion here. About the card: too much text, and mass exile effects will still get this. That said, I have no idea if you genuinely want to make this impossible to get rid of or not...

May 14, 2015 9:11 p.m.

sergiodelrio says... #26

Well I could hide behind the fact that I'm german and not a native english speaker, so I mixed up the words :P

...

But I'll use that card another day, since I actually got this wrong.

May 14, 2015 9:16 p.m.

Cut. Print. Gold.

May 14, 2015 9:16 p.m.

Did I accidentally assume someone was male?

May 14, 2015 9:22 p.m.

Me, I think. Though I could be wrong. Not that it matters.

May 14, 2015 9:27 p.m.

If you're talking about the fanboy comment, I was reffering to myself. At any rate, I'd love to see Wizards print something broken. Well, again anyway.

A better way to phrase the last ability is:

If Mizzium Myr would be dealt damage while blocking instead deal that much damage dived as you choose amoung the creature that Mizzium Myr is blocking.

If damage would be dealt to Mizzium Myr you may prevent that damage.

The second part is to keep it from being killed by mass damage with wither/infect.

May 14, 2015 9:37 p.m.

Wouldn't the first part redirect the damage anyway so the Myr didn't take it?

May 14, 2015 9:40 p.m.

filledelanuit says... #33

Yea, but only if the Myr was blocking.

May 14, 2015 9:49 p.m.

Hm, what mass damage could have wither or infect?

Not that anyone plays that but for arguments sake

May 14, 2015 9:56 p.m.

Well, I guess you got me on that one.

May 14, 2015 9:57 p.m.

SpartanCEL says... #38

Haha yea I was like 'wasn't there a card that had damage delt as though it had wither?' So I googled it and it is indeed a thing. Welp night guys hope I contributed haha

MagicalHacker says... #39

Trying to stop trample? I believe the ability you're looking for is "banding". It does other stuff too, but a shroud, indestructible, defender, banding, can't be sacrificed seems interesting.

May 14, 2015 10:10 p.m.

dan8080 says... #40

Yeah the trample confusion was my bad cause I felt the text on the initial card idea was worded oddly.
