Personally, I'm not a fan of the "designed by" flavor text, I think it looks tacky...but those are some neat cards! As much as I dislike Sirlin's games, the sphinx he designed is fantastic!

..that's an old link. Can you use the URL tag on the link to make it work? I think the board software truncates after a certain number of characters.

Sirlin's card is the epitome of Sirlin.

But isn't being RIGHT and them getting *no* free card best of all? Four is also still a lot of mana to save!Mad Dog wrote: For the Sphinx, why wouldn't I always guess "greater than"? Because them getting a cheap card free when I'm wrong seems naturally better to me than guessing lower and they get an expensive card free.

Its a guess either way. Unless I know that they only have low cards I would never guess low. That's probably just me though.

The ones I am really most impressed by are Warden of the Beyond, a 2/2 for {2}{W} that becomes a 4/4 if the opponent owns an exiled card--that is fucking synergistic right there. And Yisan, the legendary 2/3 for {2}{G} that let's you "verse" out bigger and bigger creatures for {2}{G} each turn. That needs to be dealt with right away.

Yeah, in terms of power level, the bigger problem with the Sphinx is that you need to be hitting your opponent with it to trigger its ability, and you don't need very many 4-damage hits to win the game anyway, free card be damned. But the design is still very neat, maybe even the coolest sphinx design yet. It's *not* just a 50/50 guess, MadDog, that's what's fun about it. If there were no mind-games then yes, it would be obvious and boring.jeb wrote: Sirlin's card is great, but that's a lot of commitment for Blue--they should be winning if they have the nuts to poop out a {3}{U}{U} 4/4 flyer. Seems like a "Win More" card to me.
I LOOOOOOVE cards like Yisan (e.g. Birthing Pod & Hibernation's End). Green repeatable creature-tutors that make you do some mana-cost gymnastics in your deck are among my very favorite cards of all time.
Hot Soup is the silliest card they've done in a decade, it's unbelievable! I love the guy who drops land-mines, too. But I'm going to stop my Magic-gushing now, 'cause god knows that could and does go on forever.

You could be tapped out of all lands and still play cards
You have no lands of one color and still play cards
You can splash a random color
There are a lot of UUU, RRR, BBB, WWW, GGG cards that are under four converted mana cost but very powerful

Seems like it would fit in great for EDH/Commander.
