I think we are waiting on a new prompt, whats this card for?

edit: but wasn't that one for cards dealing with facedown?

[Bucky]

It's for the round judged in the previous post, obviously.

[mystic1110]

Oh, thank you for the Win.

The Next Challenge is: Roll a d5 [somewhere - on this Forum, elsewhere on the internet, or in person] with 1 being White, 2 being Blue, 3 being Black, 4 being Red and 5 being Green. Make a card of that color with a Converted Mana Cost equal to your roll.

Edited challenge to account for the fact that the dice roller does not operate on this subforum.

I think this is a fair card in a similar vein to other cards of its type. My only complaint is it's a bit boring - I think the playable versions of this type of card are usually ones that do something else in addition, like cantrip.

This is a good card for an inistrad set. I think though that it might be more interesting and less of a "trap" card if it applied to any investigation, then you could set it up for example, but doing so would make it's name make less sense.

Rounded up so its:

1 - 5 damage
2-5 - 1 damage
6-10 - 2 damage
11-15 - 3 damage
16-19 - 4 damage
20 - Gain 5 Life.

On average that is 2.5 damage per roll.

I honestly think you could have gone cheaper for either the roll ability or the mana cost.

This is hilarious. It's doubling season but it makes Bears - it can certainly be weaker by reducing powerful tokens to mere bears and it can be stronger by making squirrel into bears, but lets be honest, if you are going to the doubling season route, you're making so many tokens that the type of tokens don't really matter.

It's actually a little bit closer parallel lives and divine visitation, with it being based more heavily on the latter. It also replaces all tokens, not just creature tokens, so I don't know if you caught that. And yeah, the creature type usually doesn't matter.

-X: Cast target revealed, nonland card in an opponent's hand with mana value X without paying its mana cost.

I'm not entirely sure the rules can handle this; maybe with some elaboration on what targeting a revealed card means? The issue is you can put the -X ability on the stack, temporarily have the opponent's hand be un-revealed, then have it be revealed again when the ability resolves, then have no way of knowing whether the targeted card is still there. Say that when you activate the ability, your opponent has in their hand 2 Yargles, and a Thrill of Possibility. Being a Yargle fan, you -5 Jace to get a Yargle. Jace, of course, dies from this; if that were the end of the story, then the ability would fizzle, since when the -5 went on the stack Jace goes to the bin as a state based action. But, you, being clever, cast another Jace with flash somehow while the ability is on the stack. Now, your opponent's hand is unrevealed, with the original ability and new Jace on the stack. Your opponent casts Thrill of Possibility with your new Jace on the stack, and discards a Yargle. When your Jace resolves, you see a new opponent hand of THREE Yargles! But, is the original one still there that the X ability was targeting when it resolves?

[Dr.Gunsforhands]

Well, I made Telepath a keyword, so I imagine the set would come with new rules for a public zone becoming private and vice-versa. I'd suggest treating would-be targets as new entities when the zone switches states, much as though they went to another zone and came back. Yargle would effectively vanish from my sensors as soon as Jace left the battlefield, unless I have another permanent with Telepath to keep track of it.

I think 1 mana draw a card gain 2 life is a weak effect and this is worse than that with the exception you get to see ur opponents hand. This is interesting, I think if the upside were a little better this card would be good. Like maybe if it could do the etb more than once?

This is very neat. A suped up mind rot that only hits lands - control decks will hate you. I think this might be balanced because later in the game this will miss a lot but stealing two lands into play on t3 is back breaking. Maybe it should say you ay play lands rom you opponents hand this turn and play an additional land?
