Seems like there are some possible syergy points for marchesa decks with +1/+1 counters being a theme in the new marvel set. Are there any cards you are excited about in the newest in the long line of marvel products?
Hey y'all,
Working on a new cube and a theme I really want to integrate is having a lot of cards that can be played at multiple points in a game. So cards that can be played early but also have an alternative way to play it later on and still be relevant.
A couple great examples are [[Kavu Titan]] and [[Bannerhide Krushok]]. Both have relevance at multiple stages of the game, being relevant plays on turns 2,4,5,&7, but they also can play pretty differently depending on how/when you cast them.
I'm hoping to get some suggestions for cards that can similarly fill out multiple spaces on the mana curve, and/or that have dynamic play patterns or varied effects depending on how/when they're played during a game.
Obviously any card that just has evoke or flashback or something nominally fits this design goal, but cards like [[Resentful Revelation]] or [[Rite of Oblivion]] don't really have different play patterns as a result of having flashback. Similarly, even though [[Mournwhelk]] could be played as a 3/3 for 7, that isn't really meaningful in any way because it doesn't actually present an interesting game decision, it's just a bad card with an alternative casting cost.
Some examples of cards I think fit the bill: [[Tarkir Duneshaper]], [[All-Fates Stalker]], [[Covetous Castaway]], [[Nullpriest of Oblivion]], [[Sinuous Vermin]], [[Draconautics Engineer]], [[Stampeding Scurryfoot]], [[Bushy Bodyguard]], [[Deceit]].
Cards like Duneshaper or Scurryfoot are a bit boring, but hit the mark for being relevant plays both early and later on in a game. Stalker and Nullpriest can have pretty dynamic play patterns where the way you cast them results in a totally different uses for the card. Similarly, depending on the stage of the game you play it, Bushy Bodyguard can have a pretty wide range of outcomes, from a 2/1 for 2 to a 3/3 and a 4/3 for 4
Thanks for any suggestions you have!
