We've made another card that implements our new mechanic called Tactic. We wanted to see the community's opinion on the design. Hopefully it's interesting!
Tactic (Players may look at cards exiled by this card. If this card is exiled face up, you may turn it face down as an instant.)
Some of the things this mechanic can do are provide a delayed blink effect (Undefined length of time) or anthem effects that can be turned on or off!

First day, started working on a whole lot of stuff... probably going to get myself premium to edit the wording on a few of them... it took some good looking and reviewing to find out why the wording felt so wrong on some of them.
anyway here's a few of the commanders in the set I'm creating for my all time favorite online pbp RPG:
@animist Good cards. For my tastes I would up the scry of Academic Response and make it 4u so the cost could go lower. I think your red-draw mechanic is the most suitable for red, especially after a lightning bolt, so it's a great card IMHO.
Thanks for the comments. I'm a bit hesitant to change the cost of Academic Response because a potential hard counter at {u} probably shouldn't be a thing (yes, Force of Will, etc. but I mean at this rarity). If you have the wizards, it's a Counterspell plus scry which I feel is already pretty good.
Having said that, I suppose it could be scry 2? I don't know. In the right deck it's already better than Dissolve so I wouldn't want to push it too much. Does @anyone have any other thoughts on increasing the scry?
@modnation675 I was joking both times, as I find it good to joke as much as possible. I'll defend my drug references as jokes whenever I can, thank you very much.

Insight (This spell can target permanents or players as though they could be targeted.)
This keyword mechanic is restricted to black primarily with a bit in blue. (UB)
Edit: I'm also putting some other cards in here that go with the cool black theme!
We're looking for the opinions of fellow CardSmiths on the card Stuck in the Present, while we determine the final artwork today!
Note: We'd like opinions on the artwork as we thought we'd try something new in terms of style!

Using @saveria201's mechanic:
Dream {n} (You may pay an additional {n} as you cast this spell. If you do, name a nonland card.)
This has become part of the set!

I *think* this is okay but I've noted down some thoughts in the comments and it'd be great to get a second opinion.
anyway here's a few of the commanders in the set I'm creating for my all time favorite online pbp RPG:

Also hope the flavor fits xD
Shatter (X CMC) (sacrifice this creature, put X black 1/1 zombie tokens into play under your control)
I'm wondering if it is a bit too broken... comments are appreciated.
Ex.

and let's not forget our pretty token to accompany this effect xD

Haven't really seen a card like this before, so I can't tell how balanced it is.
Edit: Fixed text
I like the idea of the card. However it's unbalanced in its current state!
Using @saveria201's mechanic:
Dream {n} (You may pay an additional {n} as you cast this spell. If you do, name a nonland card.)
How about some Mono-Green storm?
I dunno, I'd be kinda bummed to pull it as my rare, especially when "Dream" is already so difficult.
Your recent image doesn't work. You posted the card page address twice!
Edit: I apologize, as I misinterpreted what you said to be a drug reference. I'd forgot mainly since I've seen the word spelled as Heroine!
I reckon this would be a seriously dangerous card when played in commander/emperor or 2HG xD
and a counterspell
Thanks for the comments. I'm a bit hesitant to change the cost of Academic Response because a potential hard counter at {u} probably shouldn't be a thing (yes, Force of Will, etc. but I mean at this rarity). If you have the wizards, it's a Counterspell plus scry which I feel is already pretty good.

Thanks again.

Like a blue version of Timely Reinforcements.
We think it's best as is, in terms of cost and scry.
@keemt
Sorry, I seemed to not realize the association. We will be removing the reply as it isn't relevant!

I'm aware. I'm mostly apologizing for the poor choice on how I responded! (Mercyque wasn't happy with it.)
