This thread is for writing fixes on broken cards.

for example :

Yawgmoth's Unbroken Bargain 4BB
Enchantment
If you do not control at least six lands when this comes into play, lose the game.
Pay 1 life : Draw a card.

I'm sorry, but that makes it useable only in black/green.
There's a difference between powering down and screwing up.
I think you powered it down too much, way too much.
Nice idea though.

Ok. The only way you could accelerate this out is if you can accelerate your lands, in some kind of black green deck.

But what would you do?

He's a non-broken version of Tolarian Academy!

Tolarian Monkey Ranch
Legendary land
T: This card does nothing. Stare and ponder

What do you think?

Oh, man, that Monkey Ranch is broken. Shouldn't it have echo, or at least come into play tapped? ;)

Tolarian Whore House

Echo
Kicker: Pay life equal to number of hairs on your opponent's head.
Phasing
T: This card does nothing. That's right, nothing. If you paid the kicker cost, this card still does nothing. Just stare and ponder of why you paid the kicker in the first place, you retard.

first: Artifacts do have a converted mana cost
second: Grey Lotus is BROKEN, it is better than Sol Ring in most circumstances and don't tell me Sol Ring isn't broken.

Here's my fixed Yawgmoth's Will:

Yawgmoth's UnBroken Will
3BB
Sorcery
Choose up to two target cards in your Graveyard, until end of turn you may play these as though they were in your Hand.

I doubt it is really unbroken, but it ain't that freaky anymore.

Come on now everyone, let's actually try this.

Tolarian Academy v 2.0
Legendary Land
T: Add U to your mana pool for each artifact you control. Use this ability only once each turn.

See? Easy right?

Yawgmoth's Bargain v 2.0
Enchantment
3BB
Pay 1 Life: Draw a card.
Whenever you would draw a card, instead remove that card from the game.
0: Put a card removed from the game by Yawgmoth's Bargain into your hand. You cannot play this ability on your turn. You cannot play this ability if you have more than 6 cards in hand.

Masticore v 2.0
Artifact Creature - Golem
4
During your upkeep, pay 2 life or sacrifice an Artifact.
2: Masticore deals 1 damage to target creature.
2: Regenerate Masticore.
2/3

Morphling v 2.0
Creature - Shapeshifter
2UUU
During your upkeep, tap all basic lands you control.
U: Untargetable until end of turn.
U: Flying until end of turn.
1: +1/-1 until end of turn.
1: -1/+1 until end of turn.
3/3

Replenish v 2.0
Sorcery
2WW
Remove the top 2 Enchantment cards from each graveyard from the game, then return all Enchanment cards in all graveyards to play.

Voltaic Key v 2.0
Artifact
1
T: Untap target artifact. Target opponent may then pay 3 to force that artifact's controller to sacrifice it at end of turn.

It's a start.

I think that if you Capsize the Academy, then even your version wouldn't fix anything, because infinite mana can still be generated. Am I right?

This should probably be what Tolarian Academy is:

Tolarian Academy v. 2.0
Legendary Land
Tap, Remove Tolarian Academy from the game: Add U to your mana pool for each artifact you control. At the end of the turn, put Tolarian Academy into play under its owner's control.

Also, here's another thing:

High Market v. 2.0
Land
Tap: Add one colorless mana to your mana pool.
Tap, Remove a creature you control from the game: Gain 1 life.

This prevents you from sacking a Rector to it and getting Bargain. In fact, High Market was the culprit for W/B Bargain's brokenness.


P.S.: If fixing broken cards was truly R&D's job, this discussion wouldn't be happening right now because none of these cards would have been printed.

Your version of Academy is better, I like the self-Flicker (NOTE: even sorta goes along with continuity stuff of Pendrell creatures and Temporal issues)

Taking out High Market doesn't take out Bargain though, they'll just use Phyrexian Tower. Market's fine right now (maybe make it Legendary for the new environment?)
