Well, small won by a good margin. Thanks to everyone that voted to make the card not suck.

Now we need to vote on how the card should be costed and p/t. There are a 10 choices, I'll only list the ones that have some hope.

0/1 gg
I'm not sure if this is my favorite, but its close. Its the cheepest, which means it will come out fastest. The catch is, its very boltable and requires you to cast 2 spells to stop the bolt. The other thing is that the gg might make it hard to splash. For the abiliy to be really good this needs to be in a deck with blue. Some sort of uber grow deck.


0/2 2g
Still boltable, but it only needs one spell to keep it safe. The biggest advantage of this one is that its the only one with a single g in its cost thats below 4 mana. This is the most splashable one. Downside, at 3 mana it comes out after 2 islands are down. Also 3 colorless is exactly enouph to cover the generic cost of an abyss or morphling. Great card, but drain bait if you don't have it in a deck wiht strong protechition, ie counters or main deck red blasts.

0/3 1gg
Same problems as the above, but less splashable which means you are less likely to have the blue needed to keep it safe. On the other hand, its bolt-proof.

Everything else costs four mana.

thoughts?

I say, vote for the smallest, because it's the best, but the seconds smallest might be worth it.

Don't vote for anything else!

The costs are subject to change during r&d playtesting so that probably means they will add a second green mana if you pick the 0/2 option

My vote is for 1GG & 0/3.
Bolt proof = very cool.

Does anyone else see this as the anti-Miracle Gro?

Must you bring disgrace to *everything*? First the name "Stompy" and now this. ::sigh::

For type one, I'd think the 2cc option is the only viable one. In Call we already have a good 3 drop.

Azhrei: me :)?


By Jacob Orlove, aspiring paragon (Orlove) on Friday, May 10, 2002 - 02:24 pm:

Too bad...most of the people on their boards seem to want 1GG (less splashable) but some smart people want the GG option.

then there are the idiots who want it to be 1/4 so it can't be bolted, and can attack :(


By Paragon of Vintage (Fbi) on Friday, May 10, 2002 - 03:10 pm:

Is it going to be a wall? Either way the 1 power really isn't very important


By Will, the Walking Dude (Walking) on Friday, May 10, 2002 - 04:32 pm:

It is not a wall. That was settled a two votes ago.

I voted for the GG, let hope it wins.
