Brian Tinsman, Set Designer :?mana::snow::snow:
Legendary Creature – Human Designer (MR)
Brian Tinsman, Set Designer can only be cast during the third set of a block.
When Brian Tinsman, Set Designer enters the battlefield, ignore all flavor and mechanics of the first two sets in the block. "Ok so what do we have here... gothic horror? Scrap it. Expand the Devine Vs. Demonic duel deck to 244 cards and print it!"
2/2
It's a nice shot to the face. The first thing I thought when I saw this guy was, "hey, that would be a nice smack to Exalted Angel!" Wrong block I guess. :\
Yes i realize life plays seals of cleansing, for how long though? They will rotate out soon if i'm not mistaken and then what? They have to run disenchant or something similar. My point is this, consistency is always better than an instant shot to the face especially when it doesn't really help you kill them. Life doesn't have much of a kill option besides outlasting you and they do a pretty good job at it. Vortex deals more damage after 2 turns than this and since this deck wants to outlast you, you should have no problem having the game last more than 2 turns with vortex out. Bluntly put, Vortex is better because of consistency (it shuts the entire deck down so they have to search for one of the 4 cards in their 60 card deck rather than another creature which is something like 15-16 including tutors out of 60) since they will just wait a turn to gain the life then. The only way this is better is if they are at 4. Which is not likely on turn 3.
As far as false cure, i realize its double black. Still better than this spell since false cure will kill them and this 99 percent of the time, won't.
Either way tho, imo, not that great of a card. Much better out there, for straight up damage, give me pulse of the forge any day. For prevent life gain or lack of prevention, give me pyrite for the lack of prevention and false cure/sulfuric vortex for lack of life gain.
This card is pretty terrible. There is no amount of extra abilities they can add to a burn spell to make it playable, it either is or isn't enough damage. The only abilities that matter? Ones that add extra damage, like Pulse of the Forge or cantrips.

That's why you use cards like Toshiro w/ this. I'm pretty sure there's no doubt that this card is awful in limited (UNLESS YOU COMBO IT W/ THE GREEN HOLD THE LINE! OSNAP!). Block, I can maybe see this thing going into the BR Creature Kill and Burn recursion thing that exists in my brain.
One problem with that Kijin, it doesn't target creatures. Only player so then that strategy becomes even more difficult. In block....well don't play block. play t2 if anything. If you do happen to play block, play lava spike and not this.
Toshiro doesn't really count as making this card better, because technically Toshiro makes every instant better. That's why you stick with the best instants and not worry about crap. Of course, you have to hope your opponent is only packing Flames of the Blood Hand and not something that could actually deal with Toshiro....
