It seems like red doesn't have a hard removal spell at common like Turn to Slag, which would go a long way toward solving the problem. I recommend putting it in over Hellish Sandstorm.

Hello World also commented that there was too much fixing in a non-multicolor set. Grovecaller Ouphe, Viashino Suncaller, Abundant Growth, and Loamblood Druid are all rainbow fixers. We should think about restricting some of these to Forests or green mana only.

Also, am I reading lifeblood of maraka right? I haven't seen anyone talking about it but does it deal 17 damage if you drop it on the opponent turn 3 and they can't answer it right away?

I think gift of maraka is way too strong in limited to be common. It makes blocking a complete nightmare.

I noticed we lack a shock variant (shock with engrave, done) or an overrun effect. Combat tricks in general are also lacking.

Bahraz the Tyrant

Planeswalker - Bahraz (M)


Each opponent loses 2 life. You gain life equal to the life lost this way.
Destroy all creatures with converted mana cost less than the number of loyalty counters on Bahraz the Tyrant.
As long as there are ten or more loyalty counters on Bahraz, he's a 20/20 God creature with protection from everything in addition to his other types.

Suggestions:

We have 11 cards that cost . Yeah...
It's hard to get Spark Of Imagination to do anything. There are only only two red 1 cmc instants for it to cast. Even going into other colours, almost everything is situational. I say raise the cost to and let it cast 1 and 2 drops.
We should pick one or two creatures to pump up in order to balance Bahraz. Look for what strategies need it the most or what cards are coolest.
Reification Of Elori could use a boost. I recommend dropping the cost and stats to 5/5 and .
Gleam Collector's haste doesn't do much. You'll probably want to sit on a Gleam Collector before attacking anyways. I recommend swapping haste out for intimidate.
Frostwynd Colossus is cool enough that I want to push it a bit. Could we find a way to let multiple copies of it untap without interfering with each other? Perhaps it only keeps your lands or your other creatures from untapping?
Knifetail Ambush and Raid the Ruins are uncomfortably similar.
I'd keep an eye on Remove From Reality. That's a pretty sweet white tempo play. Might want to make it a sorcery.

Cut one.

-Cut/enlarge three or so of them.

I agree with Hello World on all counts, even the bits that aren't suggestions. Except maybe the Sandwurm going common. Kind of indifferent there.

Suggestions:

Cut Frostblight Shadow-walker
Make Student Of Finality a rare.

Cut Raid the Ruins
Let Spark of Imagination cast red instants or sorceries with converted mana cost two or less.
Gleam collector drop haste, add intimidate.

Make Hellish Snowstorm uncommon.

I think Adaptive Yeti was supposed to have trample.
Change Gift of Maraka's bonus from +2/+2 to +1/+1. Change cost to .

Add to the activation cost of Manufactory.
Make Forgotten Library's activation cost instead of .

Viashino WarWagon common -> uncommon
Blade Of Inspiration. Change stat boost from +2/+2 to +2/+0
Druid's Heirloom up cost to
Coldmetal Coat lower cost to and lower bonus to +0/+2.
Instead of lower rarity. Have Shatterpsear Insignia give +1/+0.
Bumpe Archamge's Staff down to uncommon.


We could use hexproof on one of our big green critters but I'm having trouble deciding which. Tyrant Wurm?
