I figured with a username like mine, I just couldn't stay behind (even though that contest was before I became active. =)

a non-human would be cooler

also, being able to see the top card of your opp's deck may actually be cooler, as it would work in hand with mind gate

Well just give the power to the upped sage. Instead of seeing top 2 cards, make it see your top card and opponents top card.

Tha'ts like saying hope is op because of RoL

[eh pewwwp]

has to be humanoid, not human (imo this is human)

fits something like  rather than other

Actually, I like the current ability exactly because it's not so powerful.
Always seeing the top card of your opponent's deck means you pretty much know his entire hand all the time.

The current ability isn't very powerful, but the right choice to make often depends on what cards you will draw next: If I play this shield, will I still be able to afford my dragon in 2 turns? Yes, because I have a tower coming up. Do I need this shield yet? No, I have 2 SoGs coming.

So no, I like the power.
I guess I could make it 2 cards (unupped) and 3 cards (upped), or lower the playing cost?
Also, I like the suggested neutrality of the character, and the ability isn't too focused on a single deck.

CURATOR COMMENT
In order to advance to the Crucible
-Place the 'Art by' in the actual 'Art' box in the table.
-Change the name*

* = Note that Zanzarino has made an official statement (I forgot where) that 'pronouns' are specifically not allowed in the game (except for potential permanents, but that's a different story). For what it's worth, if you can just remove the 'the' before the word, it could be moved up, but otherwise, none of the cards entered in the Forum Name Card Competition were allowed into the Crucible based on that.

...it's a nifty creature with a nice ability, nonetheless.

Done, and thanks for the feedback! =)

I thought that stuff posted on wikimedia commons was to be used under creative commons distribution?
Even if he reposted from his flickr account, the fact that he later posted it on commons means he open sourced it, right?

Include his name, link back to his portfolio. That'd be sufficient under the used license.
