Apex Devastator

New Ability Development

New 25 Jul 2024 Asked by gorramnerd 12 Comments

When I first saw Apex Devastator, I remember seeing the card say Cascade, Cascade, Cascade, Cascade, thinking that had a very clean yet Mythic feeling. When developing a new ability or using an ability in a new way, how do you determine when it's correct to write out the keyword four times versus saying "Cascade four times". In a similar way, how do you decide, for instance, in the case of Gitaxian Spellstalker, whether it should be prowess, prowess, as opposed something like Prowess 2?


Templating has an emotional impact component. While clarity is usually the driving factor, excitement is also important.

Hydras Theme Contemplation

New 23 Nov 2020 Asked by jjustin1379 39 Comments

Apex devastator is a hydra that does not really represent self growth unless you count cascade growing your board. Will we see more generic hydras not looked into the theme?


They just have to feel like a Hydra.
