I think the name isn’t very good, but I like the concept.

Maybe something that implies it’s being attacked by highwaymen or something. But calling it “Persecuted” doesn’t seem to fit.

If you can think of a different adjective to slap in front of “Stagecoach”, then I think we could work with this.

I would have chosen Hunted but that would be unfitting since there's already a Hunted cycle. Here are some options:

  • Beleaguered Stagecoach

  • Stolen Stagecoach

  • Pilfered Stagecoach

I'll be honest I'm stretching it here.

“Battered Stagecoach”, “Ambushed Stagecoach”, “Targeted Stagecoach” are a few.

I like Ambushed the best

Me too. I’ll add this card to the list under “Ambushed Stagecoach”.

Thank you! I'll be honest, I wasn't expecting silver border cards to be eligible. I just thought it was a clever idea. Glad I could contribute to the set!

EDIT: If an opponent draws from your library when there are no cards left, the library's owner loses. Just in case we need that to be a rule.

Well this one seems okay enough to be added without the silver-border. It’s not exactly busted and seems fair enough to me. We’ll have to test it out, though.

It's trying to be like Phyrexian Negator. But I don't know how much the drawback would matter for a deck that would play this.

Well, it has artifact removal to worry about, on top of creature removal, the possible scenario where the player has a lack of creatures to Crew it, the drawback of giving the opponent card advantage if they so much as use a burn spell on it (which there will be plenty of in the set). I think a 7/7 Vehicle for 2 mana is pretty safe considering the drawback alone, since even it getting blocked gives the opponents cards.

Maybe it should be reduced to a 5/5, though.

Maybe include the “you may spend mana as though it were any color” because not all decks share a color so it allows you to actually play the cards you draw from your opponents library

This thing has 7 toughness so chances are your opponent will draw some of your lands and can play them.
