The problem I have with Minotaur is that it plays both roles simultaneously better than its comparable 1-drops. I don't think it's insanely overpowered, but I do think it causes a bit of oppression on the curve. Gorge itself ain't all that bad, but WOTC would dwarf the cards it's on as a precaution against unfun game-states. Again, look at what they did with the vampires in Innistrad. They were for the most part good in limited, and the 1-drop has served well in Standard. I'm not exactly sure how I'd change your card; I might just keep the elegance and cost it at   instead. Or add some sort of p/t related drawback.
Again, I don't think it's way too good, but enough too good that I'd want to tweak it.
The problem is that Gorge as I've playtested is fun and fairly easy to understand. I don't want to stat making inferior, more utilarian alternatives, and keywording the Slith ability, the only other idea I have, is just unnecessary. If the cards could be costed more appropriately, I think the mechanic would have be printable. That 1g/r Young Minotaur still seems appealing to me.

I think I will become the designated crazy old lady/man that hates kids/new designers.

Basically I just found this image, and it's the timmiest image ever, so I'm posting it here.

What's up with the many newbies designing overpowered cards and provoking 30-post discussions about some power levels? You know that something's wrong when BankaiMastery's images are suddenly something relieving..

People aren't always objective. And heck, if I rated cards, I'd do it more on art/flavour text/and innovation - rather than power level. If you plan on designing cards a lot, remember that making the strongest card isn't the same as making the best card. That's just my two cents, though. I could be incorrect.
the best example is dash hopes  . the comments are also pretty entertaining

Ceci n'est pas une pipe.
This definitely doesn't mean what you think it means.
I was referring to the painting The Treachery of Images.
I know.

Most comments on Dash Hopes  are boring, except for that comment "lel" from someone that's named Purple_Shrimp.. Oh my god, I was laughing for twenty minutes and then fell off my chair!

Dash Hopes is soooooo bad... probably the highest rated card on gatherer that does close to nothing in an actual game.

Okay, here is the clincher. I've been waiting to say this.
The "cam girl" this was inspired by was just a girl from a social networking website, Stickam. Her name was TinyTerror and she was just a regular girl who was on her webcam, totally unrelated to any type of adult content.
I hope you all feel really smart now. 
This is like someone coming into class with a bloody nose and everyone's like "Jeez what happened to you" and they're like "I ran into a wall" and everyone laughs at them for being an idiot but then at the end of the class they say "HAHA JUST KIDDING I PUNCHED MYSELF IN THE FACE!!!!!! TALK ABOUT OWNED HAHAHAHAHA"
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.
Sorin walked into the chamber where his newly wed bride, Vampy, awaited. A beam of moonlight illuminated his brilliant silver hair as he strode with confidence towards the bed. His shirtless body showcased his powerful abdominal muscles and he was wearing jeans with holes in the knees.
I wish more girls play magic cards...
Have you considered assassinating Kevin?

Just because I made an overpowered card doesn't mean I'm a newbie. I would rather you hadn't commented, to be honest, so in the future just don't bother.

You joined this forum two days ago, that means that you're a newbie!  Look, almost everyone in this forum has posted cards that everyone else considered too effective, but most of them dealt with criticism in different ways.. Are you sure that you tested your cards by playing against some average casual decks that are posted in the casual forum? It's entirely possible to design powerful cards that ~aren't~ completely devastating in non-competitive decks.. I'm afraid that you were wrong and that everyone else was right here, and if you continue posting cards with the same power level (and with rather unexciting abilities that were already printed on multiple existing cards) then you'll always receive many responses that criticize your power levels.. I would appreciate if you stayed in this forum and continued posting cards, but also appreciated the many comments of everyone else, which allows you to increase your design skills..

Learn to let it be cats. Instead of trying to control people, just give them the details.
What you've got here is basically the next Infect. It would have the same impact and implications as Infect has had on the game. It's broken, it's overpowered, it's boring to play against. It's not more Timmy a keyword than Infect either, but that's about all there is to it. As long as you're happy with it, that's all that matters, but it's not very impressive (if that matters to you).
