MTG Salvation

Quote from fooligan

You dorks and your precedence. You'll never get a feel for the cards if you just look at them like that! You gotta get down and dirty with them! Feel em up close and personal like!

I'm really comfortable with Firebolt being the precedent for 2 damage at sorcery speed "for free" considering it's not difficult to get cards into your yard. Free damage should be monitored and you know it. When it can be both a creature and a burn spell OR it can just be in a mono red deck or Red X deck and just be a free 2 damage whenever you need, it's kinda important to regulate the cost. You try it at four Let me know when you think red deck wins needs MORE help

Monopolize - 9UBR
Sorcery
If you control more lands than any other player you gain control of all lands. Repeat this process for enchantments, artifacts, creatures, and planeswalkers. Then if you control 100 or more permanents you win the game.

Shblqhp the Low - G
Legendary Creature - Homunculus
Shblqhp has Hexproof as long as it has the lowest converted manacost among creatures on the battlefield.
Shblqhp gets +2/+2 as long as it has the highest converted manacost among creatures on the battlefield.
1/1

It feels weird to give a 2/3 a can't block clause and it makes the card really clunky. Making him a 2/1 is fine, but why is the more expensive activation on the harder to kill creature? It should always be 4 regardless (well IMO it should be minimum 5 mana compared to Firebolt and that's sorcery speed)

Next:

Finger Trap - 1B
Enchantment
Whenever you would draw a card put an age counter on Finger Trap. Then you lose 2 life for each age counter on Finger Trap and draw that many cards.
Your maximum hand size is reduced by the number of age counters on Finger Trap.

Botox - BB
Enchantment
BB,t: Remove target spell you control from the stack. If you cast it from your hand return it to your hand. Flip a coin. If you lose, discard a card at random.
Botox can be used in small doses to control muscle spasms. Use too much and it can be detrimental to your health.

Never!
Surrender
Last Hope

Ima, Tired of Countermagic - 6G
Legendary Creature - Troll
Aging - At the end of your draw step put an age counter on Ima, Tired of Countermagic. If it has four or more age counters on it, it gets Old. (This creature can't be blocked and its damage can't be prevented. It gains shroud and its abilities can't be prevented, countered or redirected.)
t: Tap target creature. It fights itself. Any player may pay 2 to counter this ability.
"I'm old. I've earned my opinion and there's no changing it now.
12/12

Primal Hunger - GGBB
Sorcery - Mythic
Put four +1/+1 counters on target creature you control. Then that creature fights target creature you don't control. You gain 4 life. Each opponent loses 4 life.

Every day when the dull sun goes down
The Orcs grunt at the crack of the Canids' Whips,
I don't fear Orcs or Canids despite terror renown,
I fear the Robellun and their Rat rabid grips.

Optimize - 1U
Instant
Look at the top X cards of your library where X is the total number of unique permanents you control. Put one of the cards you looked at into your hand then shuffle your library. A permanent is unique if it is the only permanent on the battlefield with its name.

Unique - A property of a permanent in play. The only characteristic checked when determining if something is Unique is that permanent's name. It is a static condition and is always either true or false. It is a unique permanent when comparing its name to all other permanents' names and finding that it is the only one among those permanents with that name.

I recommend that part of the allure of Jagamack is that rarity and uniqueness are important. The people here love junk from planes but the variety of stuff is enormous. Hence having something that is unique makes it even more valuable. Think of unique as a way to increase the power of something temporarily

Yay

Kazzax Scrapper - 1R
Creature - Orc Artificer
Cannibalize (Whenever this creature attacks each player exiles the top card of his or her library. Put a +1/+1 counter on this creature for each artifact exiled this way.)
When Kazzax Scrappers power is 5 or greater sacrifice it. If you do you may destroy up to one target artifact.
1/1

Magac: Hehe I wanted to make a Jace that didn't do much until he got his spark and I wanted him to cost at least 4. And I really hate control, but in a mirror match having this out when you counter a spell can be awesome because you know when you're going to win a counter war.

Quote from magac

Hmm. Spark is quite an interesting ability, and the only thing interesting about this card. I think I like it. Nothing to change.


Some weird Theros card.

Abandon Faith 1B
Instant (R)
Until end of turn, treat all players' devotions to all colors as zero. (For example, if a spell says "You gain life equal to your devotion to white", that spell causes that player to gain 0 life. This spell's effect has no effect to the mana cost of permanents on the battlefield.)
Draw a card.
"Forget the gods. They are too busy being drunk with worship."

Comments?

Quote from Methu

It's strong vs. the aggro deck nevertheless, also vs tokens. I think it is okay for 3 mana as it is. Both effects are great in some but not all situations.

Undying for everything at 3 mana feels like a 4 cost thing. The only thing I could really compare it to is Faith's Reward/Second Sunrise. I know those typically go off with non creature permanents, but there is abuse potential for giving all your stuff undying when you're set up to make use of it. On top of that you're getting a +1/+1 counter on all those creatures. and sure 3 is a good number for a 3 cost card (Anger of the Gods is going to see massive amounts of play), but I was saying since I think the undying part should cost 4 anyway, -4/-4 would feel even spicier.

I think it is okay even tough its quite powerful, becauses it uses a lot of mana each round.

Another card from the cube:

Alter Ego - 2UB
Sorcery (U)
Return target permanent to its owners hand. Then return another target permanent of the same type from a graveyard onto the battlefield under your control.

I feel this is more rare than uncommon. Bouncing a permanent can get something out of the way. Getting a permanent back is the part that makes it rare though. Bouncing a land and getting a land is a strange black blue land accel. But bouncing a planeswalker and getting one back, bouncing an enchantment and getting omniscience, bouncing a token and getting back a Griselbrand (maybe that's not in your cube but some big fat creature like tidespout tyrant might be). And it has the feel of Polymorph which is certainly a rare effect.

Next:

Karn Riftwatcher - 5
Legendary Artifact Creature - Golem
Defender
t: Exile Karn Riftwatcher and another target permanent. Return the exiled cards to the battlefield at any time you choose.
Spark - Karn (Whenever this creature dies you may pay its casting cost. If you do search your library for a Karn Planeswalker card and put it onto the battlefield then shuffle your library)
Urza created the silver golem as a way to examine the temporal rifts of Tolaria. Eventually Karn became the body for Urza's Spark and traveled through space and time seeking out all its perfection and finding all its horrors.
0/7

Heart of Taysir - 2
Legendary Artifact
Whenever a planeswalker enters the battlefield you may draw a card.
,t, Sacrifice Heart of Taysir: Search your library for a Planeswalker card, reveal it and put it into your hand. Then shuffle your library.
Windgrace reached into Taysir's dead body and ripped out his heart. Windgrace placed the heart next to his own to keep it safe from the Lich lord. The spark remained with Windgrace until he expended all of his energy to close the temporal rift near Urborg. As Windgrace vanished into the aether it was assumed Taysir's heart was also lost. But everything that is lost can be found on Jagamack.
