Title: OP 2 Drops
Post by: Mattao19 on August 18, 2013, 03:16:49 PM
You got:
{Stoneforge Mystic} for White
{Tarmogoyf} for Green
{Snapcaster Mage} for Blue
{Dark Confidant} for Black
So where's Red?
I think this should be it:
1R 2/2
Whenever an opponent taps a nonbasic land for mana put a +1/+1 counter on this creature.
Remove any amount of +1/+1 counters from this creature. This creature deals that much damage to each opponent.

{Hellspark Elemental} is pretty damn good for red.

They're good but not amazing like the other 2 drops. They all are very overpowered and maybe broken but red doesn't seem to have obe

A 3/3 for 2 is good a 3/3 haste for 3 is good but not overpowered. Like drawing 2 cards a turn or putting any equipment on a creature for 2 or dropping a 2 drop that'll probably be 4+ or playing a creature with flash to cast a spell you already casted those are just insane.

I dunno guys. {final fortune} is pretty good if you only need one more turn or have a {platinum angel} in play. A red {time walk}??? I'll take 2!!!

That's a good point and it's very powerful BUT is it on the level as the other 4 idk it's a late game bomb whereas the first 4 are great on any turn (even a Goofy that enters as a 3/3 is good bc it can just get massive)

 {Counterspell} is my favorite.

If we are talking creatures though, {Baleful Strix} is a good one!

 {Final Fortune}
{Last Chance}
{Warrior's Oath}
I'll take 12.
Actually, that would be an interesting deck type. Those cards plus  {Angel's Grace} and other ways to make you not lose or  {Barren Glory} to auto win. It would be like Eggs, only with  {Panoptic Mirror}+ {Time Warp} instead of  {Honor of the Pure}.

I heard that WotC wants to ban it in all formats but they're too afraid to.

Similarly, I was at my LGS the other day and there was a game of EDH game going on. One guy had {Storm Crow} as his commander, and the other 99 cards were all {Storm Crow}s. Everyone let it slide. It was a wise decision.

So we just need to replace the name of all Chuck Norris jokes with Storm Crow.

{Storm Crow} is so badass he can slam a revolving door.
