Normally, you need to interact with a second person to get a sexually transmitted disease. With this card, you can give yourself herpes. Impressive.Quote:

But don't you draw the extra card anyway?Quote:

Still not that great.
Black gets the shaft again. Seriously, if they tried to explore discard and other typical black mechanics like they do with white hatebears, the color wouldn't be so bad and limited to overcosted Demons and creature removal.Quote:

@Scott
Yeah, if these cards were creatures, they wouldn't be THAT bad designed/costed like the junk they actually print. 3cc sorcery black Extraction effect vs. Sanctum Prelate? Where is the balance in this fucking game?
Banned.Quote:

LOL.
But, yes, I agree with you. No real balance.
You still draw the extra card, because it's not dependent upon the removal of the time counters. See, for example, the templating on Bronze Bombshell and Dark Depths for examples when the abilitiy is contingent upon the first part.Quote:

Yeah, they totally "cut lose" in terms of black cards in Conspiracy 2 with their Evergreen powerhouses Archdrmon of Paliano and Capital Punishment compared to Recruiter & PrelateQuote:

Phyrexian Arena all day long. Midnight Oil should cost :b::b:
This set has a ton of fun cards ^^
Maybe won't give much to Eternal, but the card designs look fun.
Some obvious ways to get paid on this are Clone+X (e.g. Craterhoof Behemoth or Primeval Titan), Flickerwisp+X, tribal silliness like slivers, and cute stuff like Bronze Bombshell.Quote:

Look at the top ten cards of your library. Exile up to two creatures cards from among them and then shuffle your library. Target opponent may choose one of the exiled cards and put into the battlefield under his or her control. Put the rest onto the battlefield under your control.
If your going to pick an Oils song, at least make it a good one. Like Truganini or Blue Sky Mine...Quote:

I don't get why people complain about this so much... Creatures are more fun in my opinion and apparently in the opinions of the majority of Magic players. Creatures can attack and block, spells can't.Quote:
