Erik's Random card 6/8/2011
This is part of a cycle of Mimics in Eventide.
Design and Development each took its time trying to figure out what this cycle should be.
It started off in design as a hate card:
1(r/w)(r/w)
First strike Whenever CARDNAME is the target of a blue or black spell, draw a card.
2/2
Then it became a reward for your colors
1(r/w)(r/w)
First strike Whenever CARDNAME is the target of a red or white spell, draw a card.
2/2
Then there was an attempt at linking it to the mutual allied color in the color wheel:
Whenever you play a green spell, you may pay 2 to draw a card.
That was nice with SSE drafts, since Shadowmoor had both Green White and Red Green cards and decks. However it did not make a lot of sense in Eventide packs.
At that point it entered development. Matt Place, the lead developer of the set, wanted to try something simpler at common:
3(r/w)(r/w)
When cardname attacks it gets +3/+0 until end of turn.
1/5
However hybrid car... (see all)
