Excellent article. I'll echo what's been said in here so far.

Of the creature? Because it has a Deed-like ability?

On the topic of overpowered Planeswalkers...

True story. It's the same reasoning why things like Oriss aren't run; with Survival active, cute combos like this are just win-more quite a bit of the time.

Flame Rift is already playable in Burn...this seems just a bit too good compared to existing cards as an Instant with no drawbacks. It's very likely that this card would only see play in Zoo and...

A card extremely similar to what you are describing exists (albeit in RW). Sadly, Hide//Seek sees no current play. I think I wanted to overpower that card to give it a home, forgetting that the...

I can dream...

Realistically, it should be
1WG
Instant (no split second)

But hey, if we're making overpowered cards, what's a mana here or there (or split second).

Yeah, that's what draws you in. But before you know it, you're playing some terrible monster with Grindstone, Dreadnought, and Sensei-Sensei in it and have no idea where you went wrong. The card...

Artificer's Intuition. That card seems like it could have so much potential every time I look at it....

Needs Shroud.

Can it either draw a card or have Flash? Please?

I have a friend (who's out of magic now, sadly) who, after winning his first Tournament with RG Beats, managed to knock his deck into the toilet he was peeing into. He was wearing one of those...

The format quickly dissolves into Mindbreak Trap.dec vs. Ripple.dec?

By combo out, do you mean play a single Dread Return and kill you? They can easily operate with only one spell per turn. It might slightly annoy them when they want to use multiple therapies in one...

Off the top of my head,

4x Tropical Island
3x Savannah
1x Tundra
4x Windswept Heath
2x Wooded Foothills
3x Forest
1x Plains

Fair enough. However, I do disagree with Countertop here, and I'll toss out my reasons.

Mana;
Due to my list at least, I attempt to maximize Green and White sources due to how my deck is built...

I would agree here. Also, it's rather hard to cast Counterbalance reliably without changing the manabase around, and dropping some key green sources.

I'd be interested in seeing how having effectively no Countermagic works out for you. I'm still at 4 Sprites myself right now, as my latest list ran something like 8 Faeries total, but since I ended...

4eak - Out of curiosity, while running with the Red splash, did you ever test Sarkhan Vol in the place of a NO or Garruk? He seems solid enough to at least test in the place of one of the other...

So incredibly potent and overpowered combos that are now banned are too good for any format. Check.

And for the record, you did have to metagame it to an extent. There's a big reason the few...

Couple of points;

Why did you choose to make this only G/B? If you can find room for 9 Basic Land, it's likely you would be able to splash another color.

You have no removal outside of the...

Edit - A cursory search shows that, yes, it has.

If you can cast something that takes RWG, and eats that much mana each turn, against Merfolk....

Also, doesn't solve the problem of them just getting lethal and Stifling the ability.

I've flitted with the card quite a bit. It really comes down to the fact that Trinisphere has a similar function, if slightly weaker, is generally one sided, and is easier to cast. Trying to...
