What is it's combat stats?

0/1?

Also, When writing it's cost, I guess 1-2 means 1 gold and 2 requirement?

I need to check if it was actually 1/1

Yes, 1 gold, 2 threshold.

Not quite sure how the rules work here, but the card seems pretty busted.

Are the gold permanents? If so this is equivalent to a one sided Veteran Explorer from Magic, which would be absurd. If the gold are lost then the card incentivize combo decks that want to chain gold generators and card draw.

A good rule of thumb with mana generator is to have the mana generated be inferior to the cost, so that at least you need to wait a turn before getting mana advantages.

My version would be:

3 - 2 - 2/2
When I die, generate 2 (permanent) gold

No, it generates 2 gold, non-permanent. In MTG lingo it would be "generate 2 colourless mana". (You are right though that there are resource cards that do indeed produce gold when marked)

In most cases you will anyhow, since the card can't attack same turn it comes into play.

I would redo it into:

Code: Select all

2 Gold
1/1

Produce 2 gold when I am put into grave.
Pricing is decided by mu guestimate: It costs +1 because it has 1/1, and it costs another +1 because it has a normal ability. I can't imagine this card is broken: You pay 2 gold to get it into play, and at a later time you get those 2 back and have either attacked or blocked with it. This took up 1 slot in your deck. The drawback is this: If you defend and it dies (which it will 90%) then you get two gold during the oppponents turn, meaning you can only use it to play an event card or gold cost ability. So, basically you will want to be the one that dictates when it dies, and in most cases it will be as an attacker.

Hey folks,

I've added the honourable aristocrat to the card db, it's the first card I took from the forum.
2 gold, 1/1 creature, produces 2 gold when dies.

It's in the first HoN deck as well, called 'Economics'

Kind regards,
Nico
