But do you think that printing cards that reward aggro decks along with cards that punish aggro decks would be a good way to go about things? They could do that, and subtly begin to decrease the power level as they go in a different direction with aggro that will still appeal to new players

Ok, so if it is gods, underworld, overworld, etc...

So this block could be based off Greek mythology.

Underworld would be manipulations, maybe a {B} legendary, or even a {B}{U}.

Overworld (earth) would have... A {G} legendary probably.

Olympus would have a {W}{R} legendary.


Those are my thoughts.
if you ask me. Zeus was extremely self indulgent, and has more of a {W}{B} feel to him

{W}{R} fits him alittle better than {W}{B}

{W}{W}{R}{R}? I think he should have at least as much white in him as red.

Ok. That seems about right. Anyway, what do you think of my compromise at the top of the page?

I know they just printed it, but we need answers for {Voice of Rusergence}. Maybe skmething like

Banisher Shaman  {1}{G}
Creature- Elf Shaman
If a creature dealt damage by ~ this turn would die, exile it instead.
2/1

Why not meet in the middle and say {W}{R}{B}?

I love this card. Could do so much in standard right now.

feels more {W} or {U} though sense {G} has never had access to exiling stuff

I think it's a good idea but...does Agro really need more????

they would do this while decreasing the power level of the creatures, and throwing out cards that punish the other players based on the power level of there creatures. So its more like plus one, minus two

Birdbrain

That would cause the set the cards to be introduced in to be balanced, and would give control players in modern a leg to stand on, while not nerfing aggro. Meaning both strategies would be viable, and control would be on the rise in the meta

Iandtormentor

I see. Yes I hope they do that or something similar.

Since I rarely buy cards anymore, I don't really have hopes for it (other than the possibility it will get me back into the game), but I do have an expectation. Titans! I'd be pretty surprised to see a Greek themed set without some sort of Titan card(s).
