Effects that prevent or redirect damage cannot be used to counter this loss of life. Counter target spell. Forcefield + Show Spoiler + I'm well aware the text is exactly Force of Will. Colossus 4UBW Double Strike, Deathtouch, Reach If Colossus is blocked by 2 or more creatures, it may deal its full normal combat damage to each creature blocking it. If Colossus is not blocked, it may choose to deal its First Strike damage to a creature that opponent controls, that creature does not do its combat damage to Colossus. If Colossus receives combat damage from a creature with flying, it takes twice that damage. 8/8 ^Kind of a rules nightmare, but fun! Reach is colorblending but flavor important. | ||

Deceptively, Colossus actually cannot have Reach, despite being really tall. It is helpless against flyers, not good against them. You did a thing where Colo takes double damage from flyers, but that really doesn't matter for an 8-power Firststriker. With Deathtouch. And, uh...8/8 Double Strike Deathtouch is dumb as hell. I know it's just a creature, and therefore dies to removal spells. But still, this thing would stomp virtually all other creatures, including those that cost more. AND you gave it some more broken stuff on top of that. I would tone it down to: 4UUR First Strike (to reflect its range) When Colossus blocks or is blocked by a creature with Flying, it loses First Strike. 7/5 | ||

But anyways, I think that my favorite card is Droning, because that is an almost perfect translation of what droning is. You sacrifice your early game defense to accelerate your economy. The added cantrip is nice to make it more playable. For added flavor I would change the wording of it to be "You may put a land card from your hand into play tapped." That way you can't immediately spend that extra mana on a creature or something. It isn't that flavorful if you drone hard, make your economy better for the future, but then you still have a cheap 1 mana creature to block for you. But overall I really like the Droning card. In terms of MULE, I think you should change it to something along these lines: MULE [1][R] Mana Source (throwback to Mirage, jk Instant) As an additional cost to play MULE, sacrifice a land. Add [R][R][R] to your mana pool. If that land was non-basic, add [R][R][R][R][R] instead. That gives the flavor of depleting resources more quickly, plus the idea of non-basic is sort of like a Gold Mineral patch. That's also a bit more original than just a red Dark Ritual (which would completely break Storm decks in modern, haha). | ||

The thing needs to be huge and decimate anything on the ground, though. That's it's job in game. | ||

If you're not going to bother balancing them around how MTG should be played then what's the point of making them MTG cards to begin with? You could make them Yu-Gi-Oh cards or something. There is just something inherently wrong with a red Counterspell and a red Dark Ritual. I think the point is playing a race more than playing a color, here. | ||

There is just something inherently wrong with a red Counterspell and a red Dark Ritual. The Red Counterspell obviously doesn't make sense and I'm not even sure that that is what EMP should do, but Ritual cards have moved completely away from Black and are now a part of the red color pie. Yes, traditionally Black had the "rituals" as they are now known as, including Dark Ritual and Culling the Weak. You'll notice that both of those cards are old enough that they are not even Instants, they're "Mana Sources," a now defunct card type. Even more recently, in Torment there was Cabal Ritual. But after Odyssey Block, rituals were no longer Black, but rather Red. You have Brightstone Ritual, Desperate Ritual, Pyretic Ritual, and probably the best one, Rite of Flame. None of them are as good as Dark Ritual (of course, Dark Ritual isn't that great unless it's being used to cast a first turn Necropotence), but it's pretty clear that Red is the "Ritual" color. And it makes sense; Red should be hasty, quick, and in a sense "all-in," that's exactly what Ritual cards are. I generally associate Black with the use of non-mana resources, things like Necropotence or Griselbrand. So while Red counterspells don't make a lot of sense, calling a Red Dark Ritual "inherently wrong" is flat out wrong, and Wizards of the Coast disagree with you. | ||

A RR Counterspell is perfectly fine for this, and so is a 1B Explore. | ||

Missile Turret, Raven, Cannon, Observer, Spore Crawler and Overseer all should have a static ability like '' All units with unblockability can be blocked like they didn't have unblockability '' (and maybe Orbital Command, EMP and Infestor could have an activated ability for it but that's not important) | ||

For example EMP, which is basically a Counter spell, would never be Red. Same goes for Ultralisk, that is such a Green card. | ||
