I think the original was fine. At the very most, I would have taken away trample or made it hit every creature including itself (brings out the word tempered, and gives your opponent a way to deal with it at instant speed.)
The new one seems too bad on your end, for the cost. The previous version you want to get out as early as possible to bring on the beats and lose less creatures. This one, is more costed towards a late game where the damage will hit more creatures (whether it kills them or not depends on the set), and it has less of an effect on the game.


Hmm, I like the original too except I was using Desecration Demon as a guide, which happens to be a rare. Hmm...

I, too, liked the original better. I imagine Arqwart missed the "you control" part?

I was busy looking at the 4 CMC, not color heavy 6/6 with trample whose drawback could easily not be a drawback in the slightest. That's fine as a rare (which feels weird to say but it's true), but it was NOT an uncommon in any sense.

Well, I had some kind of vision for a U/R control with the original at 4 cmc. I changed it because I think Arq has a point of it being too pushed as an uncommon.

Preferred Pronoun Set:
Let's start the voting!

Sparkrunner
Creature – Goblin Barbarian (U)
Whenever another creature you control dies, Sparkrunner deals 1 damage to target creature or player.
Sacrifice a creature: Sparkrunner gains haste until end of turn.
2/2

Gravity Jolt --
Sorcery (U)

Gravity Jolt deals damage to each player equal to the number of card types among permanents that player controls.

Tremors and earthquakes are predictable. When you're legs no longer touch the ground, that is when you are in trouble.

Sputtering Flame :2::r:

~ gets -x/-x, where x is the number of permanents you control.
9/9
Fire is powerful, but easily stifled.

If you have 3 lands + itself when you play it, it's gonna be a 5/5. Any more stuff will shrink it.


:r:
Enchantment
At the beginning of your precombat main phase, if an opponent controls more permanents than you, you may discard a card. If you do, draw a card.


Arqwart wrote:
Tender of Dunes
Creature - Goblin Shaman
When ~ enters the battlefield, choose three lands you control. They gain "Cumulative Upkeep :1:."
Whenever a land you control leaves the battlefield, you may add to your mana pool.
:t:, Sacrifice an untapped land: Draw a card.
2/2

The Ikani tribe worships the sands of Illpyre. Each grain is a gift from their nameless deity, granting power and wisdom to the chosen few deemed worthy.

Each creature card in your hand has blitz. The blitz cost is equal to its mana cost reduced by .

Originally Steinhauser, under the condition that Blitz has a namechange to something that can be used for other permanents.
Sparkrunner is just too absurd in limited, but I could see it if it only hit players.

Now Shazzeh, as the only I want to see in it's entirety.

If I win, the next round's winner gets to rename Blitz.

Also, I vote for Lily, under the condition my vote is withdrawn if it's a tiebreaker between me and her.

Parad's vote for you breaks the tie as it is.

Steinhauser would win the tie, but because you voted for him, not me. It's the criterion setter who breaks ties, not me.

Your neatly organized post made me make the assumption that you were the criteria holder.

Sparkrunner is a cool, but seems a bit much for uncommon.
I also don't imagine the blitz dude or lily's to be really uncommon-worthy.

Vote for TPzombieW

As soon as I saw sparkrunner, I didn't even want to post a design. :p

I would vote for Parad but I think it should be 1RR though, but I think that design should still be in the set, but if we can't vote based on cards changing... and as argued it could be a rare (Keep it for later).

It goes to LilyStorm's Rabid Wireweasel (it could be a badger... just saying)

Lily's Weasel thing. It could stand to lose a point of power or go double red (it's basically reccurable removal), but the Glitterfangy ness is pleases me, and it is definitely buildaroundable.
Steinhauser had a neat mechanic, but as much as it showcases impermanence, does it really do much for our set?
Parad's card needs to cost 1 more. even then it would be one of the top red uncommons in the set probably.
Altimis' Gravity Jolt is pretty cool. Makes players want to pick a type and stick with it. Also seems well balanced.
Hello World's card is pretty cool too. Pretty cool in an instant/sorcery themed deck. Stop making my decision so hard dude.

I vote Altimis. Hello World, because it's more build -around.

Shazzeh or confused,I think.

I'll vote confused, switching my vote to shazzeh if he's tied with someone other than confused.

Preferred Pronoun Set:
Current Tally::

Steinhauser*: 2
LilyStorm: 2
TPzombieW: 2
ParadOxymoron: 1
Confused: 1
Hello_World: 1

The asterisk next to Steinhauser's name means that he's the one the criterion setter voted for, and therefore wins ties.

Voting ends in 3 hours.
