Recoil

Instant

Return target permanent to its owner's hand. Then that player discards a card.

wallisface Green is super-anti-flying, but cards with flying and a green ability keep being printed. Why is red first strike + green deathtouch a bend? As far as deathstrike goes, first strike is tertiary in black and a non-ability in green, and this only appears on Glissa, the Traitor and Glissa Sunslayer.

Daveslab2022 Would you consider cards like Recoil, Lightning Helix, the guild charms like Selesnya Charm, or Putrefy bad design, boring, or unintuitive? I understand that + =/= . I'm wondering why that's the case.


I completely understand that there's an active effort to prevent color pairs from feeling too samey, and in interest of completion, I feel obligated to say that Voracious Cobra exists. But I still have some questions.

Is there an absolute prohibition on red-green deathstrike? If so, what distinguishes red-green deathstrike from black-green flying/vigilance?

Is there simply too much overlap between 's dedicated removal and deathstrike?

With Ambush Viper, Ice-Fang Coatl, Winged Coatl, and Fleetfeather Cockatrice, is instant-speed creature spot removal more acceptable in than in ?

What makes Golgari Death Swarm a better creative choice than Warrant / Warden, and why did that get printed if it's an inferior choice?

Is there any potential for a card like Warp World or The Great Aurora to be made in ? Why or why not?

I have replaced Countersquall, Recoil, and Grim Affliction with Reject Imperfection, Serum Snare, and Staff of Compleation, which sadly reduced the prevalence of black in this deck, but I feel that those replacements are far superior compared to what I had, before.

I'm not a big fan of bounce removal, especially if you are in colors that support solid, more permanent removal spells. I wouldn't run either spell. I don't think I'd run Recoil either.

DemonDragonJ on Should I Make These Replacements?

I have copies of Countersquall and Recoil in my Atraxa, Praetors' Voice EDH deck, but I am considering replacing those cards with Reject Imperfection and Serum Snare, since I feel that those latter cards better fit the theme of the deck. Regrettably, making those replacements would further diminish the prevalence of black in that deck, but that is an acceptable sacrifice for a more powerful and efficient deck.

What does everyone else say about this? Should I replace Countersquall and Recoil with Reject Imperfection and Serum Snare?

I have replaced Voidslime with Endless Detour, because, as awesome as the former card is, the latter card simply has amazing versatility; I had considered replacing Recoil with Endless Detour, but that card is also very versatile, as well, so I kept it in the deck.

legendofa on Good Card Design

I'm going to interpret "good design" as "easy to understand, balanced while being useful, neither overpowered or underpowered" and advocate for a couple of commons I like. Recoil is simple, but effective removal and a good control option. Consume Strength is a solid combat trick. And of course, it has a close relative that may be the most balanced card ever designed in Giant Growth.

I'm going to second Recoil and add Temporal Spring (probably unlikely) and Contamination as a new art mythic rare (also probably unlikely).

DemonDragonJ on Double Masters 2022 Predictions and …

2 years ago

Double Masters 2022 will not be released for several months, yet, but I am so excited about it that I wish to begin speculating about it, now. The first Double Masters set was wonderful and contained many great cards, so I have high expectations for the second set, as well, and I am certain that WotC realizes that the players are highly anticipating this set, as well.

Another reprint of Doubling Season would certainly be nice, as that is such an awesome card that it will always be expensive unless it is reprinted frequently, but I know that WotC is not likely to reprint it again, so soon after reprinting it in the first Double Masters set, so reprints of both Anointed Procession and Parallel Lives would also be greatly appreciated.

Rhystic Study, Smothering Tithe, Dockside Extortionist, Edgar Markov, Exquisite Blood, Reflecting Pool, and Vedalken Orrery are all very expensive, so definitely need to be reprinted, in my mind.

Ancient Spider, Book of Rass, Dromar, the Banisher, Fungal Shambler, and Mystic Remora are not especially expensive, but have never been reprinted in the modern card frame, so it would be nice to see them reprinted with it. Similarly, Oloro, Ageless Ascetic and Kynaios and Tiro of Meletis were originally printed in the modern frame, but not the Magic 2015 version of that frame, so I would like to see them reprinted with it.

Chromatic Lantern and Privileged Position are not too expensive, but definitely still should be reprinted, to keep them available and affordable.

I definitely would like to see Absorb, Recoil, and Undermine reprinted, preferably downgraded to uncommons, since I do not feel that they should be rares by today’s standards, and further reprints of Mind Stone, Thought Vessel, Thran Dynamo, and Gilded Lotus would also be nice, as well. Arcane Signet and Commander's Sphere are not expensive, but they are difficult to obtain in foil, so reprints in this set would help with that, but that is not likely to happen, since this is not a Commander set.

What does everyone else say about this? What are your hopes and prediction for Modern Masters 2022?
