Title: That one creature...
Post by: Birdbrain on May 06, 2013, 06:46:00 PM
Looking for that one creature that costs 1 of every color I think, and is a 2/2? 1/1?...I don't know. Anyone know what I'm talking about?

Or maybe it was a really expensive vanilla 2/2 or 1/1 or something

No. It's an expensive vanilla. 2/2 or 1/1 or something

Are you looking for the 5 colors or an expensive 1/1?

He's after the card that costs every color, which is possibly a 1/1

that may be what I'm thinking of. I think a friend once told me of a 5 color vanilla 1/1 once. I'd like to trade for it

He was joking I think.
Title: Re: That one creature...
Post by: Birdbrain on May 06, 2013, 07:03:41 PM
No. He actually told me a use for it. And some other people were saying it was the worst card ever made
Title: Re: That one creature...
Post by: Keyeto on May 06, 2013, 07:05:17 PM
The weakest P/T on a 5 color creature is 4/4, and the only vanilla one is {Fusion Elemental}. Unless the database lied to me.
Title: Re: That one creature...
Post by: Birdbrain on May 06, 2013, 07:09:15 PM
No. That's not it
Title: Re: That one creature...
Post by: Birdbrain on May 06, 2013, 07:11:33 PM
It might not be a 5 cost creature. It may just be an expensive vanilla creature
Title: Re: That one creature...
Post by: Falcon182 on May 06, 2013, 07:14:14 PM
You're looking for something that doesn't exist in regular magic formats. 5 color casting cost gets you an insane amount of power in a creature:

{Child of Alara}
{Cromat}
{Horde of Notions}
{Maelstrom Archangel}

There's no way anything with 5 different colors in the casting cost would be a small vanilla.

Post by: Birdbrain on May 06, 2013, 07:20:37 PM
The data base must be incomplete. Proof?

{1996 world champion}

So just because it isn't in the data base doesn't mean it doesn't exist
Title: Re: That one creature...
Post by: Keyeto on May 06, 2013, 07:21:35 PM
I did a search for cards that have 4 or more cmc and 3 or less toughness and were vanilla. The worst card that came up based on those statistics were {Venser's Sliver}. Anything that costs more than 4 mana and has that little P/T has at least some sort of decent effect. Any more details on the card?

That's a special card that wasn't released to public. Of course it's not in the database, it doesn't exist in any magic set.

Title: Re: That one creature...

Maybe. I thought it wa a wizard though, but can't find it as a wizard
Title: Re: That one creature...
Post by: Birdbrain on May 06, 2013, 07:34:21 PM
There are soooooooooo many cards in magic. It's possible Piotr missed a few when cataloging them. Everyone makes mistakes. I assume though sense no one knows who I'm talking about that no ones has it
Title: Re: That one creature...
Post by: Falcon182 on May 06, 2013, 07:36:48 PM
It's possible it's not in a database, but I would say what's more likely, that the app is wrong or that you're wrong?

Post by: MisterJH on May 06, 2013, 07:59:14 PM
... Thats still an insane amount of power. The best i can offer for advice is the nephilim may be what youre looking for. Additional notes: the world champion and the shiehbdkalqijd dragon(not actual name) are exceptions because of their uniqueness, thus the explanation of their not being in the database. Besides unique cards most every card is in there.

If you guys are curious. You use cards like {accelerated mutation} with it
Title: Re: That one creature...

Its .14$, im sure you can spare a few quarters for a playset

I've thought about using it with  {Birthing Pod}
Title: Re: That one creature...
Post by: Falcon182 on May 06, 2013, 09:34:32 PM
It's still not good. The only way its good is as a 2/2 for {U} which is its morph cost right? I mean by the time you add all the buffs to it you're sill looking at a huge cmc that you would be better off using for a creature that does something.
Title: Re: That one creature...
Post by: MisterJH on May 06, 2013, 10:04:42 PM
A turn 4 {birthing pod} into a 9 CMC creature seems pretty good

Turn 1: land
Turn 2: land, mana dork
Turn 3: land, {Scornful Egotist} (paid for by {3}) then morph for {U}
Turn 4:  {Birthing Pod}, sac, find cmc 9 creature, put into play.

{Reya Dawnbringer} for example. Lol

{Artisan of Kozilek} {Blazing Archon} {Zodiac Dragon} {Inkwell Leviathan}

That dosent seem bad at all pro blac and red protects it from alot of removal and the life gain for ANY creature that hits the field yours or not is good to me. It has great commander applications. I'd like to trade for one as well!

It's a 1 in 1000 hand but could be good if it comes up.
Title: Re: That one creature...
Post by: Wally on May 07, 2013, 03:11:33 AM
Actually its not.

You can do it with 4 land and no mana dork. Its just that most green decks will have some mana acceleration played turn 1 or 2. I said 3 land because that is the most common keep. 2 or 3 lands.

so opening hand you will need to see a birthing pod, and the morph creature. Most green decks should have at least four mana sources for turn 4, if not more..
Thats naming 6 out of 7 cards, so by no means a hard thing to pull off. Even if its a turn or two later (which rapidly increase the odds of seeing these cards) it would still be a crazy swing in board presence.

Agree but at that point just play {elvish piper}
Or {quicksilver amulet} and build around one of them instead and put in a card that's not going to be a dead creature draw under any other condition except with pod.

You could make a {9} deck out of it. With  {Scornful Egotist} and  {Birthing Pod}. For  {Grozoth} and  {Myojin of Life's Web} to put all cards that cost {9} on the battlefield.
