Alpha Color Hosers

New • 06 Nov 2017 • Asked by stevejeltz-blog • 29 Comments

Original Alpha color hosers were brutal, but most of them seem like color pie breaks today. Would any of them still fit in the color pie today? (FYI: Karma, Conversion, BEB, Lifetap, Deathgrip, Gloom, REB, Flashfires, Lifeforce, Tsunami)

Richard’s original vision was that colors could use their enemies’ abilities to hose them. That hasn’t been true for most the life of the game.

Why were color hosers so mean in the past? I mean, I would feel VERY bad if someone played Flashfires against my casual monowhite deck. Didn't designers think about it?

It took us a while to get the right balance for color hosers. You are correct that early on they were a bit too punishing.
