Magic: the Gathering in the UK

You Make the Set 5

We are doing this in our Multiverse app:

http://mv.bluebones.net/

(Old shared Google spreadsheet for this is here:

https://docs.google.com/spreadsheet/ccc?key=0Ag7TtjWsLhYkdHBBUHF4RG... )

Channel Fireball just did Top 8 Mechanics:

* Retrace

* Dredge

* Landfall (not for attacking like Steppe Lynx - Grazing Gladehart and Roil Elemental style)

* Scry

* Flashback

* Kicker

* Flying

* Cycling

I wonder if we could use that, or some of that, as the basis of You Make the Set 5. I know that some of you were keen on Landfall.

Not sure when we would play it out but some time in late May probably?

We probably need to compare our current design skeleton:

against the desired skeleton and start adding Medium and Large creatures where appropriate. And cutting little guys.

Kieran - Neither Corrupt Seer triggers put into graveyard abilities! It goes on the bottom of your library.

We could make it graveyard - that would be really fun. Although this guy is amazing at 1 life at 2 life you have to be judicious in how you use it - it can't just be "don't want that". So it may not break him to go with v3:

Pay 2 life: Put the top card of your library into your graveyard

Well that showed me!

Putting the cards into the graveyard would probably be too good to be honest since it combos with black's unearth and 'put into a graveyard' abilities.
