If you can cast Jin at instant speed that would work, but you need a way to do that since Jin doesn't have flash inherently.
I'm talking about the original, Jin-Gitaxias, Core Augur which does have flash. He may get nuked, but being able to drop him pretty early unanswered with Jorn will make for some sweet salt.
He's talking about the old Jin and yeah you can just use Jorn's attack trigger to ramp off snow permanents although I think the confusion is because most people use Jorn's artifact side as a bad snow-only budget Muldrotha and not as a snow only ramp commander.
Well, he works fine without obscene shenanigans as a mill commander that threatens/protects himself with creatures on board. He's better in the 99 of Mothman for that though.
Can't ever see this as a card the demon girl is not ugly or a troon, WOTC will never allow it.
I like your decision to make the impulse draw mechanic into a keyword. WOTC really should do that since they’ve already done that with their keywording of surveil and scry. Are you trying to make a whole set or just playing around with card concepts for the fun of it?
I had the thought for this card in the shower and decided to make it. I was wondering if it was possible to make a staple in red that gave red players surprise late game interaction capabilities with a reasonable drawback. Knocking a red off it would fix a curve issue though.
Hm. Could be fun as a spree card. You could do 2 X costs - or if you want the X to apply to both, do X as the main mana cost then in the box under spree
This would be incredibly overpowered in the eternal formats, particularly for combo. You mull for a hand that has this and some sort of fast mana and effectively just double your hand size for two turns in formats where turn 1 wins are already a thing. Consider Necropotence, a card that costs more mana, makes you wait longer to get your cards, and is considered one of the strongest cards ever printed. Sure the skull is reusable, but you're still using it to effectively draw a number of cards per turn that's fewer than what you'd be grabbing with this thing. You can also consider Expressive Iteration, which is 2 colors, grabs you fewer cards to use, and still got banned out of Legacy.
You can have all the cards in the world in your hand, but without the mana to cast them they won't help you. Impulse draw is an even more hardcore version of this. Oh it's turn three and you want 4 cards. Cool, good luck playing your entire hand next turn with 4 mana. Hope you top decked like 4 shocks. Optimally the card is probably going to get played turn 4 or 5 for a 3+ for one turn. It's not as good of a card as it looks, but it's a simple card which could be red's opt.
I at one time had some cards kicking around that I'd done up, but I think the site's conversation deletion precaution ate them. I whipped up a few that were in the same vein, and built out a few ideas too. I think this could def be a fun draftable set, I just don't know who you'd be able to get to draft it with you.
Oh right! it wasn't a thread, it was a convo. And you were there, and you were there....
