Often mistaken for a similarly-costed disk, the Conservator has left many an overanxious mage disappointed.

The sad reality of Christmas is that you don’t always get everything you want. This year, an even sadder reality for some of you is that your friends got what they wanted (From the Vault: Jace) and your decks have no answer for the powerful cards they added to theirs. Well, we at Good Gamery have designed the perfect card for you.

It is said there were once fifteen Magic: The Gathering cards so sneaky, so uppity, they were bought or sold by players on the day of competition. In the years that have passed, the game has evolved and these cards are still there, being traded. Master these savage cards from ages past and present and make your opponent move cards from their library into their graveyard, as if they were burying books in a graveyard.

December 25th, 2009
Today, we have a cycle of cards that all show up in the From The Vault: Jace set. You may wonder why we used up a full third of a 15-card set on a cycle, but we have good reason. Here at GoodGamery R&D, there is a saying that nothing is as hard as designing a well-balanced cycle of cards.

Teamwork? Who ever made a fortune by teamwork? There’s only one way to make a fortune, and that’s to down the fellow who’s up against you.” – W. Somerset Maugham

It’s a lot less hassle to have each player draw a card than to limit it to a specific target. You don’t have to aim, or remember the name of the loser who summoned you or anything like that. It’s just a nice impersonal incantation that lets everybody have a good time with their cards. By the way, I’ve been at this card drawing business for a while, and “target player draws a card” is really just a euphemism for “You draw a card.” No one ever gives someone else that card, not even for Christmas.

December 22nd, 2009
Magic: The Gathering has a long history of printing color hosers. These are cards like the famous [card]Hydroblast[/card] and [card]Flash Flood[/card] that literally hose down red opponents with water. With Kormus Belleren, you can turn your opponent’s powerful Planeswalkers into weak, mewling cadets.
