Fires of Heaven Version 1.5 Now Available!

misterorange · 08-11-2005, 12:41 PM

After a week of intense testing and feedback, Fires of Heaven Version 1.5 is here! There are a ton of changes, most of which you'll find in the Release Notes located here.

Special thanks to those who replied in the last forum thread. Now with almost a hundred changes, I need your help again!

In addition to the updated set the website has Six all new sections, located in the Cards Section. For those curious, I've included Designer Notes for each color and noted the problems and struggles for each color.

Now it's time to open up those opinions once again! With a MUCH simpler installation process (just Five Steps), this is a much more accessible expansion. I'd love to hear what you guys think about the new changes!

Thanks!

Nice site you got in there! Design notes are a nice touch, too bad I'm too lazy to make one every time I change a card on my sets...

Took a quick glance at the cards (I'm at work right now), and most look okay. I'll try my best to review them all later.

If you're looking for critique, post individual cards here.
Your marquee cards aren't very marquee-card-like... look at the official "Famous Cards" section of each set on magicthegathering.com for ideas.

Regarding your 2 new marquee cards:

Coldstone Keep - Too good. Compare to Rath's Edge. This may come into play tapped, but it adds colored mana.

Joondai Negotiations - I think that this is worse than Persuasion 90% of the time.

Blind Sight = Infiltrate

Cognitive Intuition = Predict slower +1 card

Daring Alchemist: Remove "Target creature with flying part" the ability remains the same unless targetting Horobi, Death's Wail

Forgotten Wizard is wonderous, Hapless research upgrade, not certain if its worth it, but, at least that finally exist. Does Blue get elves?

Lost and Found is both a sorcery and has a drawback.... but, good in limited. Go millstone!

Mana Break: Wow, if only they couldn't float mana...but still, delicious.

Mistaken Identity: Reword as, you may spend blue mana as if were mana of any color. See Quicksilver Elemental

Secret Pulse: Remove "As an additional cost to play" i see the intent was to keep that effect if the spell is countered, but, just seems...odd. Change to "Target Creature an opponent controls gains island walk [until end of turn???]" Or add a clause specifying that [this effect does not end at the end of the turn]

Tressan Journeyer: Activate second abiility, in response, activate first ability. Inentional? 1UUT: Return ~this~ to your hand. Draw a card.

War of Favors: Wheeee!

All in all, looks interesting, a lot less broken than I would have attempted.

What is the point of Dire Decision? That's a quite a drawback, givning your opponent a demon every turn until you only have five life, then killing you. But yet it has no benefits.

Everyone brings this guy up. Yes, he's intentional. It's cool to find those little stack tricks, isn't it?
