Because: Attack Dog --   Creature - Hound~ gets +1/+0 when it attacks. 1/2 ... is superboring.  But yeah, there has to be room for the "small" cards as well.

Pretty strong considering the +1/+0 never goes away

bad wording is another pet peeve of mine, thanks for reminding me.
1000th post November 26, 2010. Where Islands gets his decks: Spoiler:
Show
It was revealed to me in a dream. All the cards were in my dream except for three slots which I plugged in as Vault Skirge.
FULL DISCLOSURE: The dream was post AVR so there was a copy of Slayer's Stronghold. I decided to keep it pre AVR in my post here.
EDIT: I just remembered. The Skirges might have been 2x Whipflare and 1x something else, probably War and Peace.
EDIT2: Currently 4-0 in my first four games with this. My opponents have been very angry. I fought off a Wurmcoil from Grixis for six turns before I found my second Dispatch. Jeez, I can do a lot of damage.
EDIT3: Streak broken. Lost to an unexpected Overrun.  Cracking a Shrine for 10 wasn't enough.

Do you want everyone to do a entry level design test like GDS before posting a design here?
If not, just silently walk away from this thread.
If yes, just silently walk away from this forum.

Here are some evidence for incredible complexity: Angelfire Charm Instant Angelfire Charm is white, black, and red. If was spent to cast ~, Prevent the next 2 damage that would be dealt to target creature or player. If was spent to cast ~, destroy target artifact with converted mana cost 2 or less. If was spent to cast ~, search target player's library for a creature card and exile it, then that player shuffles his or her library. Illusionary Denial  Tribal Instant - Illusion As long as ~ is on the stack, whenever it becomes the target of a spell or ability, counter ~. Counter target spell. 30% of too expensive to see play: Implode    Instant Destroy target nonland permanent with converted mana cost x or less. NEW! And then there are 70% that don't bother searching in gatherer before posting: Compost   Instant Destroy target artifact or enchantment, then search your library for a basic land card and put it onto the battlefield under your control. Shuffle your library. Violent Smashing   Instant Destroy target artifact with converted mana cost x or less. ~ deals x damage to that artifact's controller.

you are saying I should search the gatherer for any card with a mechanic similar to a card I'm making before I post it? Anyways, compare implode to disembowel  which was actually printed. Is a reasonable price to pay to hit artifacts, enchantments, and planeswalkers? I think so. illusionary denial is quite simple. It can be written in 2 short lines. I don't want people to get high-level education, I just want them to have played enough mtg to know what's a balanced card and what is not, and I also would like them to be able to write rules text in such a way that people can decipher what it means. Anyways, people seem to be getting incredibly pissed at me for this, so I'm closing the thread. Catowner's Rant Planeswalker - Thread

Well I'm certainly not pissed, I'm genuinely curious where you've seen this influx of bad designs.
I have a sig because it gives my posts better spacing.

I wish people on this forum would have some idea of what is an acceptable card. 40% of the cards are obscenely underpowered, 20% of them would have to be banned immediately before they broke legacy, 30% are way too expensive to see play, and almost 100% involve incredible complexity. People like making planeswalkers, 10cmc creatures, and 5 color cards. I can't blame them, but I just wish that this forum wasn't all about "whoa, look how big I can make a card that you'll never play!"
Please point me in the direction of these bad designs. I'm pretty curious.
Most of the cards I see on here are pretty legit, to be honest.
This. I actually have no idea what you're talking about, OP.
Anyways, people seem to be getting incredibly pissed at me for this, so THREAD CLOSED.
I don't follow.

My Standard deck: Setting SunThink of how Neo couldn't beat the robots, but they kept him around anyways to defeat Agent Smith. Sure, the robots might not like having a Neo running rampant because instead of playing their favorite 4 drop fatty robot, they have to play a bunch of one mana Matrixs to contain him, but at least Neo keeps Agent Smith from reanimating an Iona on turn two.
Are you saying I'm trying to blame my loss on something? I don't care that I lost, I care that he's a sore loser, and a cheater, and a liar.
CKY, are you bad at anything?
I really enjoy imagining this from Kevin's perspective. Because in Kevin's world, Rosewater actually reads everything he types. Mark is sitting there right now, reading this, and thinking "The greatest trick the devil ever pulled. . ." Or some such. He chuckles low, then clicks on "The Best Of KEVINSET" and says "Yes, this'll do just fine. A busty lady with banding who deals direct damage to Zones!? Why this will be the star of my next set, and no one will ever believe you Kevin." Then he closes his Macbook, so his servant may move it out of the way, while another servant puts a Fetal Richard Garfield Clone lathered in Steak Sauce in front of him. Then Mark Feasts.
I mean, In KevinWorld, Mark is reading the very words I'm typing as well. Heck, in KevinWorld maybe I am Mark.
I'm beginning to think CKY may be anime in real life...

[In response to a thread about how hard grading is]
Upon reading this, I've found myself completely unable to operate in the world. I tried to decide what to eat for breakfast, and pondered the vast consequences of my choice. How do I balance my dietary needs against my desire to eat good-tasting food? Should I factor in how long it takes to prepare? Cereal is ready in moments, but bacon takes longer to cook.
Then there is the impact on other industries. Do people in the cereal industry deserve to be employed more than people in the bacon industry? Which industry should I support? I don't even have the data regarding HOW MUCH the cereal industry benefits from me eating a bowl of cereal, or how much the bacon industry benefits from me eating a side of bacon. How can I compare two qualities I can't even quantify?
And let's not forget the milk on the cereal. In addition to determining whether or not milk is healthy for me, how much that benefits the milk industry, and how much the people in the milk industry deserve my support, we have to factor in the fact that cows are put under brutal conditions in order to collect thier milk. Of course, the same goes for the pigs, and then they get killed. Of course, I really like bacon. So I need to come up with a scale that compares the value of cow happiness to pig happiness to my happiness. What trade-offs am I willing to make here? Does the fact that the pig gets put out of its misery count as a plus or a minus? Isn't bacon bad for me anyway?
Deciding what to eat for breakfast (or any meal) is impossible. Help me!
I must admit chinkeeyong, you have the most interesting character ideas; and you play them well.
Anyway, you'd be surprised about Time Stop. When I first saw that card as a relatively new player I didn't see its full potential until I read the reminder text. Is it that unintuitive, though? Mine I mean. What is possibility? Is it possible for me to type these words with my tusks? No, because I don't have tusks. Although I am now tempted to go buy some - obviously not from poachers or whatever - and use them as typing apparatus. I could be the best secretary ever. "What's your words per minute sir?" "Well, only six, but I use these tusks to type them." "You're hired!" That was the interview. And is anyone else disappointed that "apparati" is not the plural form of apparatus? I just could strangle a dictionary, because "apparatuses" is a real word. I guess it sounds pretty cool. I'll call them my Apparatusks.
