I wish {jace, the mind sculptor}'s plus 2 was better.
You don't like putting TWO counters on the BEST walker and controlling what they draw? ;)

Really in a good deck  it doesn't matter what your too card is that much.
In EDH it does ;) he's legal in that ;)

 {Elite Arcanist} would love to see it be able to copy sorceries too, but it might need to have some sort of draw back as well.

{Jace's Mindseeker} would be much better if his ability triggered with an attack as well,
though it might require a mythic level spot.

I feel like they sometimes nerf Jace-related material since JTMS.

{prophet of kruphix} in standard. I really love the idea of this card but it just does not cut it in standard. Sure a great deal of you probably have prophet stories worthy of awe but the sad fact remains a removal heavy format makes her weak. The worst part of this delima is that if it was any stronger it would break commander.

If that card was any stronger it would break the absolute s*** out of Commander.

He would be TOO OP. I run him in my Selesnya Hexproof and I had him in a BW Lifedrain deck before rotation and trust me, he is good enough the way he is. I can't even tell you how many people have tried to {Doom Blade} or {Searing Spear}ed just to have me say, "uhhhhh no." Its ability is just enough to throw people off and in most cases (for standard), he is basically has hexproof.

Scry lands. A way to come in untapped (excluding {Amulet of Vigor}) would be great.

Couldn't agree more. Yeah, the Scry lands are good in EDH, but c'mon.. They're SO SLOW...

If they reprinted {Amulet of Vigor} Bant Mazes End would be so powerful! (Still only 1 {Mazes End} activation a turn) but your gates enter untapped so you can use them to fog, azorius charm, etc!!! I'd definitely play it

And should be colorless lol like what happens when blue plays Mistcutter? Oh ya they scoop lol so if it was colorless I would be so happy :)
Title: Re: Cards you wish were better
Post by: MuggyWuggy on December 11, 2013, 03:02:28 PM
Oh jeez if that was a single colorless instant that would have to be a mythic.

But at least it would see play

That card got passed so much in draft

Ya it'd be Mythic but it's stupid how a card can help change protection yet it has a color identity too! It's frustrating!!!

I think if he had Hexproof he would have been good for a 7CMC
