Sadly power creep has made Giant Strength obsolete, there is now a slew of red aura's that grant +2/+2 for
That said, adding an appropriate keyword would still make it, if not good, at least playable.

I love the
my take'd be like
Giant Strength 2021
Enchantment - Aura
Enchant Creature
Enchanted creature gets +4/+1.
When Giant Strength 2021 leaves play, sacrifice the permanent it was attached to.
imagine what gaining and then losing that sort of titanic strength does to your bones!
mana cost, scryfall says it's only been used 38 times in the game's whole history. Dense, evocative little costs like that vanish into the rare, templated card slot real quick when everything else has to be part of a splashable draft archetype.my take'd be like

Yeah, this is a color pie bend pretty harshly, because Red's buffs are always offensively oriented. Simply bigger is the domain of Green.

The Grafted Wargear drawback actually seems like a good fit for red. My own color pie fix would be just printing something that granted +3/+2 for .

The MTGNexus Custom Card Creation Random Card of the Day for 1/28/21 is Blightwidow.
Infect gets maligned for a number of reasons - most of them to do with EDH, which is understandable - but it's so easy to make a compelling card just by putting infect + something else on a French vanilla.

One thing to note is that the revealing is not written into the reminder text like the attack requirement of Boast, even though . This would move a line of text out of the card itself, allowing for the rares and mythics that skip reminder text that much more space to work with.

I don't know if they could move the revealing into the Reminder text, since it's a cost, not a limitation.Morpic_Tide wrote: ↑3 years agoOne thing to note is that the revealing is not written into the reminder text like the attack requirement of Boast, even though .

The thing is, the rules demand that you reveal a card when it is the source of an ability you are activating from a hidden zone. So the reveal is more a reminder to do it rather than something the ability needs to function.Ink-Treader wrote: ↑3 years agoI don't know if they could move the revealing into the Reminder text, since it's a cost, not a limitation.Morpic_Tide wrote: ↑3 years agoOne thing to note is that the revealing is not written into the reminder text like the attack requirement of Boast, even though .

Also, they could have broken up the ability, and turned Forecast into a keyword ability like cycling, then have a separate ability that triggers on it being forecast. That'd open up some design space for cards on the battlefield that care about the number of cards revealed in your hand, and so on.
It's a nice pairing of abilities; rather like a split card in some ways. An overall cost of 6UU is too much for 'gain control of target creature' though.

The contemporary Cytoplast Manipulator is to gain control of a creature with a +1/+1 counter until you lose the Cytoplast Manipulator. So in exchange for three more mana, you remove the targeting restriction and reversion condition. Even the absolute bomb of Mass Manipulation is at the least, being much higher color identity at the same cost to remove the targeting restriction and add Planeswalkers.
So for what it is, it's actually pretty decently costed. Lot of relevant monocolored creatures in every format, and anywhere you can get ahold of a "color matters" function you can do nasty things with the indefinite repeats.

Ah, yes, the situationally worse Brainstorm. That situation being the one in which you want to put the cards on top of your library. If you want to get rid of them, it is better, although a bit more expensive.
It also has the drawback of being a sorcery. If it had been an instant, it'd be infinitely more playable.
Lore Delve
Instant (C)
Draw three cards, then take two cards from your hand and put them on the bottom of your library in any order.
Alternately.
Prophetic Visions
Instant (C)
Scry 3.

For it's day, it was .... unnhh, well, even then it was more of a curiosity than the linchpin of a deck. It's not horrible in that it at least does something -- I'd say Delif's Cone has much the same end result, but in an even worse way, and Delif's Cube from the same set, is just too hoop-jump-y to even be used during a game. Against decks that rely on taking just one or two big swings at an opponent -- some red burn or blue control decks -- it's a disincentive. Against zerg decks, it's useless.
In Mirrodin era, it'd be handy to throw down to activate affinity or metalcraft, but, let's not kid ourselves, there are better choices.
(In Aether Revolt, it'd help with improvise. Why do I always forget that set and that mechanic exist?)

The MTGNexus Custom Card Creation Random Card of the Day for 2/2/21 is Karn, the Great Creator.
Intensely powerful in older formats of course but I like this design for being one of the Karniest Karns. Karn, Scion of Urza gets across the pacifism (no direct offensive abilities) and giving life to artifacts. Karn Liberated gets across time travel very well. Only Great Creator feels like all of those things.
