(HUMOR, I guess)

I would like to point something out to all of you blue mages. After reading
"Casey at the Table," I would like to say that red has a huge advantage over
blue: Fireblast. It is basically a pitch spell, but it's Type 2 legal. Sure,
blue can counter several rounds of burn, but as soon as they tap out, it's
fireblast time. That's why I would like to suggest my new fireblasts:

Creatureblast
4GG
Instant
U may sac 2 forests instead of paying the ridiculous cost in this card.
Put a 3/3 meanie token into play. Treat this token as a green creature. If
opponent incinerates this creature and gains huge card advantage over you, you
may beat them with a tire iron.
(Hell, green sucks anyway, why not make it suck more?)

Healblast
4WW
Instant
U may sac 2 plains instead of paying the ridiculously high cost on this card.
Gain 4 life.
(Sure, mangara's blessing only costs 2W and gives u 5 life, plus it has the
little discard text... but who cares? The Mirage block's leaving anyway)

Counterblast
4UU
Instant
U may sac 2 islands instead of paying the ridiculously high cost on this card.
Counter target spell.
(It's a crappy force of will! or better, depending on how u look at it)

Discardoblast
4BB
Instant
U may sac 2 swamps instead of paying the ridiculously high cost on this card.
Target opponent chooses and discards 3 cards.
(Probably extremely broken, but u don't get any card advantage)

And finally...
Jester's Blast
6
U may sac 2 lands instead of paying the 6 mana that u should pay.
Sac Jester's blast: Cap your opponent. If u don't know what that means, go
play go fish.

But we can't forget...
Stalking Blast
Land
6: Stalking blast becomes a 3/3 creature permanently. U may sac 2 lands
instead of paying 6.
(Hell, I don't know...)

I hope u post this, frank, so the world can know about the broken blast.
