@sorinjace thanks a lot for the feedback. I actually started it out at 1R and then moved it to 2R just like you mentioned. And for Tera, Evolving Empress, the first ability should read "Whenever a counter of any kind would be placed on another permanent, instead put that many +1/+1 counters on Tera, Evolving Empress.
If it says "Stockpile only as a sorcery.", it should be activated ability mechanic. Also all effects in the reminder text is named as Stockpile, including casting cards from exile. So if it has "Stockpile only as a sorcery" clause, you can't use it on instant like Recurring Retort you made.
How about something like this? Stockpile {r} (Exile this card from your hand: It gains "{r}: Put a cache counter on this card. Activate this ability only any time you could cast a sorcery" and "You may cast this card from exile. It costs {1} less to cast for each cache counter on it.")
@bnew07 I also want that to include "poison" counters to players so it can't restrict to just permanents. No counters anywhere but on her, that's pretty sweet I think! Thanks though for checking it out
@Tomigon it's delicious and I don't think it's broken because there are only so many cards you can cast. In addition, there are always graveyard hate spells nowadays.
Plus to cast the first flashback spell each turn, you need five or six mana. The second one makes seven to nine. So it's unlikely you're going to "go off."
If you put it in a color where the sorceries and instants aren't killers, it could even be cheaper. I think 3GG (artifact or enchantment) would be OK.
@Scott_Anderson I like your card, the last ability I think can be lowered to 6 instead of 7. @pjbear2005 your cards are getting better and better, why don't you put periods on the end of your sentences?
How do you guys feel about this ability? it is supposed to be an opposite to a card I like in the contest @East2West just made, I feel it's pretty good and it'd be fun to play.
You don't want to see me try to skip. It isn't pretty.
I like this, it's very flavorful. I have a fondness for cheap cards that you don't really want to find in your opening hand; this one isn't totally useless in the early game (in fact, it strips your opponent of whatever quick ramping critters he was trying to hurt you with very nicely) but it's just lovely later. I for one would greatly enjoy weighing a Gideon Planeswalker creature down with five dead bodies and then purging my opponent's deck of any pesky copies, all for one mana. That's efficiency.
I'm mulling over ideas for a kind of Invasion-rematch custom set, pitting Phyrexia against another rainbow coalition. In the wake of New Phyrexia, i want things-all-the-same-color to be a Phyrexian deal, and things-being-all-colors (keyword: Prism) being for the good guys. It occured to me that a cute design space that I don't think has been explored yet is Auras enchanting play zones:
Ahh whoopppppppppsssss! @Pauli I feel like this needs an ETB trigger and a separate one for when they enter the graveyard they become the chosen color and lose all other colors.

Interesting mechanic!

Just a flash thought and there might be some mistakes. If I get better idea I'll let you know.
Is this broken?

Here, try this card:

I am really shaky on the second ability. Is it costed right? Is it too good?
This is a darker version of another card I created
I also think the last ability is a little wonky, but there's no obvious problem with it.
Would you please post a card here for the next fave/comment?
Also, why both Hexproof and Shroud? Hexproof is redundant here.
Thoughts?

Please comment and/or fave on both https://mtgcardsmith.com/view/plaguestinger and https://mtgcardsmith.com/view/tomigon-imp-of-darkness. Then, post a link of your own!

You must comment on https://mtgcardsmith.com/view/mausoleum-compleation or fave it to link a card of your own. (I left a comment on your card anyway.)
