Erik's Random card 6/8/2011
Mike Turian was the lead developer of Scars of Mirrodin. There was a somewhat different green spell in the set, made by Mark Rosewater; Mike wanted it replaced since he thought it was probably broken.
Mike likes to rate cards in terms of their appeal to Timmy, Johnny, and Spike. He love the "triple" which appeals to all three. I tried to do just that.
I started thinking of how to make a green Braingeyser. I thought about green getting permanents, which probably meant putting them on the battlefield. So it wouldn't just be broken, I capped the cost of the permanents at X. All that was left was to cost it, and this was the cost I came up with.
Brady Dommermuth, who manages the creative side of Magic R&D wrote a comment in multiverse saying "Spidey sense tingling." Since I had never seen him make a comment about a card's power before, I didn't think he even thought about it. Maybe all that free stuff is just that jarring?
Sometimes this card is tot... (see all)

At first I thought it would've been awesome for Valakut... (cause it get's 0 cmc)
But the mana you'd need to make to make it effective would probably mean you're winning the game already...
So not the awesome utility card I thought it would be, at least in that deck
Now Elves... With cards like Elvish Archdruid,Joraga Treespeaker, and even the lowly llanowar elf + Arbor Elf, you could easily reach insane amounts of mana while setting up your own win
Cause uh... Beastmaster ascention is 3 cmc and a permanent, which this card likes, not to mention Garruk

What's that? Infinite mana Myr combo, puke my deck into every Myr I have, play a kicked Goblin Bushwhacker, WIN?
Awesome!

I'd love to see it grab a shirt load of allies.

To be broken this needs really big mana. Cards that require a huge amount of mana to do crazy things don't worry me. Big mana equates to big effects. It's the cards that do things for cheap that get me nervous.

Combos well with Eternal Witness in the deck.

I cast this for X=18 and copied it with Riku of Two Reflections. Needless to say, I lost horribly because I got hit with Austere command the next turn and had no haste enablers. But damn if it wasn't fun!
