Land Destruction Dilemma

New • 10 Jul 2012 • Asked by drdresden • 4 Comments

Rather often you say that "Land destruction is unfun, so we weakened it a bit." (paraphrased.) Why then do you keep printing Acidic Slime? A Stone Rain for 1 more mana with an additional target option and a 2/2 deathtouch body seems like its too good, especially with flicker effects running around. It's not uncommon at my LGS to get completely blown out by Acidic Slime+Restoration Angel+Phantasmal Image starting on turn 3 or 4. At least Stone Rain is harder to copy.

One more mana means a lot when we’re talking about land destruction. EDIT: It’s been correctly pointed out that Acidic Slime is two more mana.

Clone Card Opinion

New • 06 Apr 2012 • Asked by markdash • 7 Comments

Do you (R&D) regret the number of "Clones" currently available in standard? It seems like the presence of both Phantasmal Image and Phyrexian Metamorph are stifling for people trying to play with legendary creatures, as well as being perhaps too good with undying.

The pendulum of clones is at its high point. Are there too many? You’re asking a clone lover so, for me, no.

Invisible Stalker Tweaks

New • 25 Jan 2012 • Asked by dukkhasatva • 21 Comments

If given the chance, would you make Invisible Stalker a legendary rare instead (So things like Phantasmal Image can kill it just like Geist of Saint Traft and Thrun)

If I had Invisible Stalker to do over again, I would keep it at uncommon but I would make the following change: Invisible Stalker has hexproof as long as it is not equipped". If he picks up a knife, you can spot him.
