I don't think so. Once you put a Black Ward on a critter, all black enchantments come off.

Now, this card is more balanced. I know that this card is very expensive, yet at the end game (when you have 10+ lands) this card may turn all those remaining lands into counter spells!!!


In essence, you are paying UUU plus a card for a counter. Considering a Counterspell is UU, that's too expensive. Either UU or 2U is more reasonable.

Also compare this to Lifeforce (GG: Counter target Black spell). Yes, definitely too expensive.

I have to disagree: this enchantment makes ALL your cards into a bit more expensive counterspells that can counter ANYTHING. It has to be expenve, otherwise, it becomes broken.

Also remember that counterspells are only limited to 4 per deck, also if u can manage to put enough counters in this enchantment and have enough cards, then you can counter anything on anytime with 0 mana cost.

Mine is different. It's a global instead of local enchantment.

Don't forget that, your enchantment can be targeted by a number of spells and abilities, unlike a spell. For example:

quote:

Devout Witness
2W, Creature — Spellshaper 2/2, Mercadian Masques Common
1W, tap, Discard a card from your hand: Destroy target artifact or enchantment.


You're also talking about a blue deck which needs lots of mana anyway, so it's not like you have a lot to spare.

The mana cost is not 0, it would be UUU according to you. Just because it has been prepaid doesn't mean it is free.

Make an exception for the card, saying that the card text takes precedence. Kiss of Death cannot be disenchanted or destroyed by normal means that destroy enchantments.

It's supposed to be a much more annoying Kudzu.

Annoying? That's not annoying. Kudzu is annoying because it just floats around destroying lands. Still, it can be disenchanted the usual way.

Now, im not trying to make a perfect card here. There are always cards that can be countered with other unexpected cards. Besides, if your opponent had Devout Witness in play, you would obviously not cast my enchantment.

I believe there is a misunderstanding here. I said, "if u can manage to put enough counters in this enchantment and have enough cards (that means after casting the enchantment and put some counters), then (afterwards) you can counter anything on anytime w/ 0 mana cost."

And of course im not saying that it is free because its prepaid, but it becomes free after you paid/invest on it. This is what I meant.

Correction:

If there already exist a better card that only benefits your creatures at similar price, why would you create a card that would benefit ALL creatures?

Suppose first turn, I play a swamp, and summon some 1/1. Second turn I play a second swamp, summon no name, attack with my 1/1 and no name and pay 19 life... I fail to see how this not overpowered. Your card essentially reads: If this creature is not blocked and you have more life than your opponent, you win. (Alternative: use a war chariot to give it trample).

First of all, I think my version is more in line with what Red should be.

Secondly, what if I steal your enchantment? In the first case, you would have lost use of it. In the second case, you don't care.

What is even more nasty is to Spirit Link the card.

You put in 9 life to do 10 damage, and gain 10 life back. You get a free pump, and gain a life to boot.

I think it's works like a channel-fireball, except cheaper. The only way to solve the problem is to limit the pump. Still, the Spirit Link trick I mentioned above still works.

Sure, it is possible that your opponent can steal your permanent, but it rarely happens (specially to an enchantment), and it doesn't change the fact that Gratuitous Violence is much better than your intensive warfare.

Don't see too much magical hack?

Suppose you select swamps when the card comes into play. Then I hack the card to set your colour to whatever I desire. Now how good is the card for mono-decks?

Alternatively, you could play with the hacks and mana-screw anyone who plays more than 1 colour, or anyone who plays with only one colour.
