[CON] Jhessian Balmgiver, Drag Down

ThrivingMagpies · 01-24-2009, 08:23 AM

Ok...Let's me make two easy puzzles..

How to Make Magic: 961
Today I am sharing the cards that I love a lot and hopefully will bring inspiration to all card designers!

This is how Jhessian Balmgiver is born:

Mark1: So we need to fill in this slot.
Mark2: Ok, My head hurt, shall we just look at Invasion?
Mark3: Good idea, since we are reprinting those bears anyway!
Mark1: (pointing at one card) How about this???
Mark2: Not bad..But one of the ability no longer fits the colour wheel!
Mark3: We gave this to red already, you forgot PC?
Mark1: Well, shall we just keep the other ability and change this one to the Jhessian ability, since it is called Jhessian anyway.
Mark2&3: Yeah..sounds good to me!

Another Day in the office:

Mark1: oh dear..keep thinking variant for this type of effect is boring..
Mark2: Yes, but we have to do it..This is what this colour is meant for!
Mark3: Um..couldn't we sort of do a variant like the one in Morningtide
Mark1: Not a bad idea! Well done Mark.
Mark2: Yeah..and clearly we can use the keyword of this set.
Mark3: Wait..This will be too good. We don't want it to be as good as the one in Rav or Lowryn!
Mark1: That is right! We want White to be the new King. Let's up the mana cost by one!

This is how Brag Down comes into this current form.

Your riddle seems entirely too vague...
I will leave the thread alone for a little bit, but if it turns into a disaster...

Oh wait, I know what the balmgiver does.
It taps to make a creature unblockable, or to prevent damage.

1WU
Creature - Human Shaman? (U)
T: Prevent the next 1 damage that would be dealt to target creature or player.
T: Target creature is unblockable this turn.
1/1

Drag Down is a Domain -x/-x sorcery or instant, I suppose.

Jhessian Balmgiver, lol. That card should be famous, you know. It's because of it that captaindecoy discovered the complete Conflux name list so many moons ago.

**Blutsau** · 01-24-2009, 08:29 AM

Brag Down

Sorcery
Domain - target creature gets -x/-x, where x is the number of basic-land types you control.

ThrivingMagpies · 01-24-2009, 08:29 AM

Is that too hard?
I will stay here to see a while..

Nickolai..good catch..
For thing that I do not mention, it means it does not change!

I can't figure out if you are talking about Samite Archer or Treefolk Healer. I'm thinking the Archer, but damage prevention is still

, right?

The riddle says one of the abilities is not in color anymore, but the other is fine.

**Moss_Elemental** · 01-24-2009, 08:33 AM

I'm guessing the Balmgiver is similar to Samite Archer. Am I close?

I figure

Jhessian Balmgiver

Creature - Human Cleric Archer

: Prevent 1 damage

: ~ deals 1 damage to target attacking or blocking creature.
1/1

ThrivingMagpies · 01-24-2009, 08:34 AM

Well. if damage Prevention is still in white..that means?

spezza19 · 01-24-2009, 08:34 AM

I'm guessing they changed: "Tagret creature can't block." (red) to "~ becomes unblockable" (Jhessian)

Something like:
Jhessian Balmgiver

Creature - Human Cleric
Exalted

: prevent 1 damage
1/1

Guinea Pig · 01-24-2009, 08:34 AM

Samite Archer
Jhessian Infiltrator
Outrider of Jhess

So... Unblockable seems unlikely on a healer, and I believe we still miss an instance of Exalted...

Jhessian Balmgiver

Creature - Human Cleric

: Prevent the next 1 damage that would be dealt to target creature or player this turn.
Exalted
1/1

?

ThrivingMagpies · 01-24-2009, 08:34 AM

Yes..so my puzzles seem not hard enough

Is black meant to give -x/-x? when i think of black, i think of other things, before that..

riddle is a bit too vague. but i think someone will get it.

ThrivingMagpies · 01-24-2009, 08:35 AM

Getting close..But the ability is Jhessian...not Bant..
