We did change it to
"W: Gain five life and target opponent gains control of ~" to avoid multiplayer abuse..

But try to avoid putting two colon's in the wording, because it makes no sense.

The way that you have it worded with the W activation cost, you can merely stack the ability and choose new targets in a multiplayer game, bouncing back and forth between merely two if you choose. AND, and the controller of the ability, YOU would still gain the life.

When I first read it, I didn't see the original colon. I thought it was a CIP ability. But, I'm wrong. I misread the ability. But it wasn't so much self-inflict itself, but moreso the concept of you casting a spell and the opponent controlling it that I liked.

If you want to avoid abuse, make it a (T: ) instead of a (W).

Sorry about the double colon......

"W: Gain five life and target opponent gains control of ~"

works for me.

Ransac: I think the Tap would make it a lot less useful.

But Ransac makes a very good point. If its just "w: bla die bla" then you can gain a lot of life.

How about:
"W: Gain five life and target opponent gains control of ~. Use this ability only once each turn"

I will second that wording. Makes a lot of sense. Plus does prevent abuse in 2HG style and Emporer style play!

Just wondering: shouldn't it be an uncommon? Landcast 2 feels 'special' enough..

Well, how about we make it Plainscast 1, and make it an uncommon?

No, I think that the ability to remove 1 plains for a 2/4 spirit link on your first turn is too powerful. This is fine as it is and may even warrant an uncommon in it's current state.

6/7 on turn three might prove to be a problem..

How about 7/7 for 2WW?

I'm thinking 6/6 for 1WW

hmmmmmmmmmmmm We'll have to playtest this one to see if it needs dialed in better.

im originally thought a 6/6 for 1WW...
but if they have any blockers, they can chump you completely...

attacking 6/6

unblocked:5 damage
blocked with 1 creature: 3 damage
maybe less...

he needs trample too. maybe even rampage to counteract it if you didnt want it to be completely stopped by defenders.


and it has to be all damage, because making him flying would be EASY

maybe something where hes a 0/1 and when he attacks he gets +this/+that
and when he blocks he forms into like a 0/10, flying and first strike..
or maybe that for another card...

I like the idea of adding trample, but that's not really a white staple ability.
