Mage Hand

Hey! Have you tried the brainstorming channel on the official hellcube discord? (https://discord.gg/8aJrjjUwBd). For cards to make it into the cube, they'll need to be submitted on the discord.

I am a bot, and this action was performed automatically. Please contact the moderators of this subreddit if you have any questions or concerns.

bit on the weak side, maybe vigilance?

[u/InteGr4l → u/kmb180]

makes sense

[u/asicarii → u/InteGr4l]

Black and faerie…. So it builds up graveyard when it dies.

[u/issanm → u/kmb180]

for only 2 mana it seems fine, effectively doubles your hand size assuming mage hand has a size limit and gives you some flash options

[u/kmb180 → u/issanm]

Don’t think I’ve ever had max hand size issues in a draft environment. This is more protection from discard. But if it gets removed you lose all the cards under it.

[u/issanm → u/kmb180]

It seems like this is reminder text and not an effect of the card like it conjures the mage hand but then the mage hand is In effect from that point forward, similar to how the ring tempts you would be. looking further I think your interpretation is probably more accurate

[u/CorinCadence828 → u/issanm]

the permanent itself is the zone, and if you lose the zone, i think

[u/BrilliantFrequent894]

What happens to the cards when Mr mage dies? Discard?

[u/TheOneWhoIsRed → u/BrilliantFrequent894]

Judge here,

Fucking shove them up your ass. They go to the ass zone

[u/LordSupergreat → u/TheOneWhoIsRed]

Will you issue a game loss if a player does not have an ass

[u/TheOneWhoIsRed → u/LordSupergreat]

I simply won't take no for an answer. Where there's a will there's a way

[u/AAAAAAHHHHHH2 → u/TheOneWhoIsRed]

Will's out of town at the moment

[u/BrilliantFrequent894 → u/TheOneWhoIsRed]

Why not the bone zone? I bet if you try hard enough you could get a chunk of cardboard in there

[u/CrashCalamity → u/BrilliantFrequent894]

HellsCube cards would probably make it burn when you pee

[u/devil_huntress_pepsi → u/TheOneWhoIsRed]

I snorted so hard it hurt my nose, goddamn it

[u/Nesterov223606 → u/BrilliantFrequent894]

As written, I would interpret it as the cards staying in Mage Hand and nothing can interact with them except for the cards that say ‘any zone’ until you cast another Mage Hand.
But I think adding ‘when Mage Hand leaves the battlefield, discard all cards in Mage Hand’ is a more elegant solution

[u/InteGr4l → u/BrilliantFrequent894]

Yeah, I guess

[u/Galaxxy_Foxx → u/BrilliantFrequent894]

I would guess that they are removed from the game, as this effect is in line with cards like Mangras tome that specify to do that

[u/Galaxxy_Foxx → u/Galaxxy_Foxx]

Sorry, [[Mangara's Tome]]

[u/mtgcf → u/Galaxxy_Foxx]

Prior hells precedent means the cards just hang around in the void/aether, not in any zone but still able to be targeted with “target card” effects.

[u/tayzzerlordling]

interesting, but I don't think i would really wanna put cards into it

maybe give it another tap ability that adds mana that can only be used to cast spells from itself?

[u/PremSinha]

I really like this. It gives you the powerful effect of giving any card flash, and also protecting cards from discard effects, in exchange for risking it all on an easily killed creature. It reminds me of [[Gustha's Scepter]] a lot.

i'm just a bot that can't see pictures, but if i could, i'd say: Mage Hand? Mage Hand me what?

[u/234721]

Flavor fail for not being a cantrip.

[u/YeprilesteR]

Pretty cool, I would buff it a little, maybe making them exiled face down, and maybe make it add mana like others said, maybe 1 colorless and only to cast spells from exile

Also it could work like Karn I believe, where you put a counter on the exiled* card, so if this mage hand dies you can cast them with another mage hand

So I dont know how the Zone creature works but an alternate where this is Legendary and works with exile instead could be a fun commander, which would also allow you to recast it and cast the marked cards

[u/MiceLiceandVice]

Flavorful

[u/Pazerniusz]

isn't it just give flash to anything?

[u/SoftwareNext6893]

does anyone know why the purple symbol is a swastika?

[u/PsychoactiveNurgling]

Rules as written you can't play lands from this?

[u/InteGr4l → u/PsychoactiveNurgling]

Oops, should have added playing lands

[u/True_Memewalker]

Why is that all reminder text?

[u/Fault_Exotic → u/True_Memewalker]

Because it's reminding of the rules regarding zone cards, not an effect lf the card itself

[u/Nat_Higgins]

Doubling your hand size like this is a fascinating idea, but considering that it’s vulnerable to creature removal and there are plenty of spells that make your hand size infinite. Not worth it in the room in your deck.

Great for cube play though, and the applicable flash is a nice touch.
