Are these cards worded poorly? See Twilight Tutor.

Greatest Gargadon seems to be broken to me.

Twilight Tutor is a great utility card.

I really hate these ones:
Gambling Mage - coin flips suck
Reivilo - You win cards are dumb
Inebriation - is for drunk players.....

These are good:
Eye of the Beholder - I would not include the revealed hand stuff.

Tropical Faerie - GU weenie engine, but why does it have flash? Maybe flash should cost more.

Avatar of Fire and Ice - seem beat down enough for me.

Tropical Faerie: I agree, MM. The Flash seems to not mesh, utility wise.

Greatest Gargadon will never see print as worded. It's a Counter-player's dream. Why is a Gargadon blue anyway?

I personally like Tiago Chan's submission. :D

I have no problems with it.... counters are great and as a land is cool..... But it could be written as a cycling card......

Perhaps, but they're so many things that abuse cycling. Channel countering would be kinda fresh.

Oh... and it's your turn in our game, MM.

Cycling draws a card. There is already a card for the same cost that counters and draws a card. Giving the flexibility of a land and making the counter uncounterable (which cycling does) would be too much.

As it is, even without the draw, you have what's sort of become the norm for a counter with an ability. The fact that the ability is that it cannot be countered is pretty strong and the flexibility of a land is pretty good gravy.
