    at common, 2UU or 3UU is to be expected. Anything better would make it a truly shocking common.

    repeating myself from the chat:

    A cheap counterspell that requires that as an additional cost you have to discard a card.

    ...I would love that.

    Yea yea, I think it was the normal packs........ perhaps? Hope you guys help me.... I'm still a bit confused.


    Perhaps there were 2 basic lands in each pack, one for each faction? Another spoilerer mentioned something like this

    Well about the only thing that would give the Mirrans a fighting chance right now would be a sorcery that reads 'Exile all Phyrexian-aligned permanents from the game' or 'set all of your opponents creatures with Infect on fire then drop them on their lap' if you base your opinion off of just our spoilers of Besieged...

    Wasn't there something in a very old expansion that removed all cards from that expansion from the game? Spacing on its name/the set.

    Look through the Spoiler and you'll see that that card has already been spoiled.

    Myr Welder 3
    Artifact Creature - Myr (R)
    Imprint - {T}: Exile target artifact card from a graveyard.
    Myr Welder has all activated abilities of all cards exiled with it.

    Unless you are talking about some other card that I missed.


    See post #2 - I was talking about Myr Turbine.

    You're welcome. Now, here's some candy, completely untouched by kids.

    Would you be so kind as to explain about countering spells?

    Grin

    Am I mistaken, or is that myr generating artifact the first T: Make a creature card ever without an additional cost beyond tapping?

    Man, I don't care if its Constructed worthy or not. I want to make free swarms!

    Here's what I'm going to complain about: "Creeping Corrosion" makes no sense as a name for a spell that immediately destroys all artifacts. That isn't creeping corrosion! That's instantaneous massive corrosion to the point of wiping out everything! C'mon wotc naming department, you can do better.


    Only complaint in this entire thread with a leg to stand on. Agreed! Congrats!

    It's hilarious how everybody is arguing about a card that will hardly see any play outside of Limited.

    Spot removal at instant speed > Corrosion.

    Plus... it's over now, they've printed it. What is the point of continuing to whine about it? If it really bothered you, you'd quit the game. If it doesn't really bother you yet you're still complaining about it, you're trolling. Why not talk about how you would use it in Constructed, because if you read through this thread, it would make you the first person to do so.

    If you're really bashing WotC over printing a card you don't like, yet continue to play magic and buy cards, its really similar to being upset with your drug dealer when they're out of your favorite kinda smack, and equally as sad.

    If the printing of this card prevents you from building/trying an artifact deck that you've been thinking about, you're overreacting completely, and need to talk to some people who've been playing longer.

    I can only think of one deck I'd want this for. Here's a hint: I only would want 1 of them.

    I wonder if winning with 10 activations of this card is one of the funky 'achievements' they were talking about for the pre-release or gameday or whatever.

    Forget about constructed formats.

    This card is a bomb in Limited.

    T: Mill 6.

    Automatic 5 (or less) turn clock. (40-7 = 33, be a few turns before it gets out, so between 25-30 cards left in library)

    Remember constructed. Simple hilarity really.

    T:: Do this 10 times to OMG TRIPLE RAINBOW WIN

    I feel like this entire list is so 'rehearsal week 1'. Not to offend.


    I'm not offended; I'm happy its getting any attention! I threw this list together on Notepad at work, it's not exactly blood/sweat/tears category, hehe.

    There are two reasons I want to run Tempered Steel over Ajani.
    #1 Enchantment hate is kinda rare in Standard.
    #2 Thus: Planeswalkers are easier to get rid of than enchantments.

    Practically the entire deck full of creatures is cannon fodder so ultimately I get you with my 4-turn clock of Tempered Steel / Blinkmoth Nexus, as it stands currently.

    I will be thinking about it and posting another pre-testing build soon.

    I've yet to see any deck that would make me want to play Corrosion, even if I was in green. So, nobody is going to run this; people will be running individual artifact removal spells that are cheaper and more versatile (see: Nature's Claim, Revoke Existence, Naturalize.

    It's not the death of a strategy. It's up to you and your fancylad Metalcraft deck to MAKE this card worth playing. Get on it.
