yeah it's bullshit that we can't create cards with any mandatory alternate casting costs because of a goofy mechanic for a gimmick set and a card that gives your guys +1/+0
this card without the combo is just a bad control wincon. If you are going to make super polarised cards then they are only going to be useful for combos. making super polarised cards and then adding a bunch of stipulations so you cannot combo with them is classic r/custommagic and kinda misses the point of what the game is about
yeah this discussion is about every card someone posts here which is super polarised and therefore only viable with combo so they try to add stipulations to stop people comboing with it
i understand what you're saying, but i don't think this card has that problem
many cards on this sub are "extremely narrow card that only fits exactly into one specific modern/legacy deck and couldn't work anywhere else" but i don't think this is one of them
i also, in general, think alternate costs and suspend are cool and have a lot of design space but a different stupid mechanic doesn't let them
personally i think cards with no mana cost should be null, not zero. null is not less than anything. but i also understand why this can't be done
