Do you have any interesting alien mechanics? I want to make three different alien decks. One that uses probe. Another that's a blue/red invasion kind of deck. And another with the colors used other than blue

A reintroduction to the morph mechanic would be sweet. It also goes along with the evasiveness of aliens. I would love to see morph again.

If you add a mechanic to probe from the bottom.. You could call it anal probe?

Probe
To "probe N" means to look at the top N cards of target opponents library, put any number of them on the bottom of their library in any order, and put the rest on top of their library in any order.

Abduct
Exile target creature, then return it to the battlefield under your control. That creature loses all abilities and becomes a 0/1 blue Human until end of turn.

Your version of probe looks strikingly like the fateseal keyword.

Ah crud! Back to the drawing board...

Can someone give him some karma. I don't know how

Because it is. :)

What if instead of probe being an exact copy of fateseal, it could discard 1 card from among those looked at, and put the rest on top in any order?

Birdbrain

What if you could play cosmic cards directly from your deck (for an alternate increased cost) if there is a copy of it in your graveyard?

The black aliens could give all kinds of crippling counters, but have rules like only one of the special counters can be on a card at a time.. I have some ideas if you like the idea

Birdbrain

Go ahead. Although I'll Most likely do blue/red for the first one. Simply because, the aliens are invading. They don't want to hurt things, but do to being misunderstood. They really have no choice but to resort to forcing a place for themselves. I might do a blue/black alien deck though if I can figure out a way to make them make sense for black
