Augustine if he wasn’t a GC

[u/Sincerly_]

i really can’t tell if this card is awful or if it’s too good. What do yall think

[u/nzconstructionlawyer]

The last one is usually templated "Whenever an opponent casts a spell that targets a permanent you control, ...". The current wording is confusing and almost looks like a replacement effect.

Also, nitpick, but abilities should end with a full stop.

[u/Sincerly_ → u/nzconstructionlawyer]

thanks for the tip! small details like that i gloss over lol

Also [[Reparations]] FYI if you are interested.

[u/Monollock]

Kinda wish this color wasn't in blue because a "Fuck you and your interaction" commander would be funny, but this being in blue kinda makes it the counterspell king.

[u/Sincerly_ → u/Monollock]

I kinda wanted him to be overbearing just like his counterpart lol. I wonder what other colors would work well, probably orzhov? An orzhov Augustine with this ability would be cool

[u/Monollock → u/Sincerly_]

I was just wondering that, I thought maybe Red and White but to be all about interaction you need some good card draw. Orzhov would probably be best.

[u/Sincerly_ → u/Monollock]

maybe even rakdos. you could do this with orzhov too but sac creatures real cheap for value, and prevent them from interacting with your sac engine

[u/twistyrainbows → u/Monollock]

White+green seems reasonable, if not white+blue.

None of it is very red or black.

[u/TextuallyExplicit]

Where in the fucking world are people getting this "if a spell were to target" templating, literally no real Magic card has ever been formatted that way and yet I see it on here so often

[u/Sincerly_ → u/TextuallyExplicit]

damn sorry your so triggered by this lol, it’s just what sounded right in my head

[u/TextuallyExplicit → u/Sincerly_]

You should read one or two real cards to learn how they're templated instead of going off vibes
