Balance Thread

Fewer suggested changes in this one than in previous posts, since a lot of the glaring issues have already been addressed:

Crystal Atomaton
I really like this one.  In my opinion, this should be a model for the expected utility of low-cost monsters in CMC.
Recommendation: Unless there's some kind of nuclear reference, fix spelling of "Atomaton" to "Automaton"

Nadri Megus
Probably balanced, though on the slightly weakish side.  One extra mana over Skelebird for a fairly minor ability and an even more minor drawback (plus low sac value).
Suggestion: 43 sac
(EDIT: Fixed!)

Axion
Seems pretty nifty, maybe too much so.  If your opponent doesn't have a counter (which includes a sniper of any sort), this works out to basically a 68, two card wipe opponent's field (with a bonus creature thrown in).  That does work out to be pretty expensive and brittle, but the effect is also incredible.
Suggestion: Change to "destroy all other monsters" (including your own).  Not sure how flavorful that is, since it kind of looks like Axion might be from the Kid Radd comic that I'm not familiar with.
(EDIT: Fixed!)

Blood Armor
Slightly more expensive than Winged Golem for a slightly better statline.  Okay, fair enough.  But it's also zero sac with a rather painful maintenance cost.
Suggestion: 42, fix spelling of "Maintanance" to "Maintenance".
(EDIT: Fixed!)

EY-12 Spy Sattelite
Not too bad, I guess.  At that price, the biggest concern is probably taking up a monster slot, but late game, you can sac it to get your mana back.
Suggestion: Fix spelling of "sattelite" to "satellite"
(EDIT: Fixed!)

EY-40 Censor Station
Ok, less than useful.  For 5/5 you can get a Cloaking Field that makes everything you play face-down, even if you play multiples in one turn.  And that may even be overpriced.
Suggestion: Cost/sac to 23, Fix spelling of "sattelite" to "satellite"
(EDIT: Fixed!)

EY-554 Comms Sattelite
Kind of fun to build a deck around this to generate massive amounts of mana, but it's too slow to be particularly powerful.  Which is okay, I guess.
Suggestion: Fix spelling of "sattelite" to "satellite"
(EDIT: Fixed!)

Cosmos Dragon
Strikes me as kind of useless at that price, particularly if 'killed' monsters also go back to hand.
Suggestion: 44 cost/sac
(EDIT: Fixed!)

Singularity Cannon
Well that's an interesting fix.  It used to be a really expensive, weak, limited Chook Xao, but now... well that could be amusing for all those "let's see how big we can make a creature" loonies.  Need to try it out sometime.

Wormhole Striker
A little expensive for what it is, assuming you can't exploit it to break certain 'dizzy a creature' abilities, since it's so fragile.
Suggestion: Cost/sac to 55
(EDIT: Fixed!)

ZFF Officer
Kind of nifty, I suppose.  Really only has a place in a heavy Allying deck, though.  No suggested changes.

Ensign Redshirt
Huh.  I imagine its utility is somewhat mitigated by its lack of any sort of way to achieve the element of surprise or protect itself.  I suspect it could be a little cheaper.
Suggestion: 22 cost/sac
(EDIT: Fixed!)

ZFF-01 Drone
Another nifty low-cost creature.

ZFF-09 Hawk
Meh.  Allying 9 is pretty brutal to set up.  I think its cost can be safely knocked down a notch.
Suggestion: 33 cost, 44 sac
(EDIT: Fixed!)

ZFF-11 Ecto
Simply coming into play face down just isn't that big a deal for a plain-jane beatstick.
Suggestion: 33 cost/sac
(EDIT: Fixed!)

ZFF-15 Mirage
Nifty ability, but still really, really expensive for a <strike>36/36</strike> 46/46.
Suggestion: <strike>&nbsp;4 </strike>&nbsp;54
(EDIT: Tweaked)

ZFF-24 Hermes
Too expensive.  Its stats are about what I'd expect for a creature of that cost without a drawback (and with some sac value).
Suggestion: Cost to 87
(EDIT: Fixed!)

ZFF-90 Zeus
Obviously only useful in a Power deck, but that ability *probably* justifies the massive cost and Power requirements.  If I were to design it from scratch, I'd probably make it cost 1010 instead, though, which is still enough to play a Kilothi Cruiser and Legend Hawk.
(EDIT: Fixed!)

Captain Navis
The ability is nice and all, but it's still a 34/34 without any sort of defensive mechanism, so 55 seems kind of steep at first.  That said, if it were a spell that said "all your space ships gain quick hit until end of turn", how much would that cost?  This seems a bit better than that.  It would be nicer if there were some more reasonably-priced good-attack space ships available.
(EDIT: Fixed!)

Stellar Clockwork
(see Diamond Clockwork, earlier post)

Nuclear Plant
That is incredibly scary to use in a deck that relies at all on monsters.  I think you could get away with even sac on it.
Suggestion: 22 sac

Accelerator
Ergh... speed tweaking is just such a minor effect in the vast majority of cases, that it's hard to make a card useful if that's all it does.  That said, a 11 card that sacs for gain and cantrips is about as low-cost as it gets, so this is probably okay, albeit a cipher in the grand scheme of CMC.  One of those cards that you are afraid to pull as your rare from a booster.  Blue Elite brings up a good point, though-- these could be the reincarnation of the 2 sac NPCs of old, so maybe a sac tweak is in order.
Suggestion: Sac to 12.  Rarity 100.  We don't need many of these in the world.

Decelerator
See Accelerator.
Suggestion: Sac to 21.  Rarity 100.

Warpwell
The cost tweak to 5/5 makes it more playable than before, though it's still pretty pricey, considering it will take about four turns to make its cost back.  You could look at it as 50% more productive as Crossover, or you could note that Crossover gets you the mana you actually need.  If it were priced right, this would be quite generally useful in a relatively large number of decks, so I don't think the supply should be constricted too much.
Suggestion: 44 cost, 61 rarity
(EDIT: Fixed (sac bump)!)

Transporter Pad
A pretty useful ability, though the price seems awfully steep.  I could go for a cost and sac drop.  It's also not a high-utility card that everyone needs a dozen or more copies of.
Suggestion: 44 cost/sac, rarity to 60
(EDIT: Fixed!)

Torpedo Launcher
So niche it hurts.  Given that you can't exactly predict when your opponent will play a Space Ship deck, and that torpedoes are probably somewhat useful against other stuff, this is begging for a significant re-working.
Suggestion: Target ship or effect has 25% chance of being destroyed.  44 cost.
(EDIT: Fixed!)

Cosmic Rift
Blah.  Only useful at all in a lockdown-type deck, and then it's still only every 5 turns.  Maybe it's okay, given that it's no longer insanely expensive.
Suggestion: Rarity 85

Tractor Beam
Seems really useful.  Maybe too useful, actually.  At that price, I think I could find a place for it in just about any deck.
Suggestion: 33 cost, Rarity 86
(EDIT: Fixed!)

Atomic Energy
Better than fountains, certainly, though that could be interpreted as d@mning with praise fainter than a white dwarf in the night sky.  It's probably fine as-is, and reasonably useful.

Gravity Mine
Hm.  Fog.  We know how much play those cards got in MtG.  Still, it's cheap enough that it's probably reasonable.

Stellarite Ore / Cosmerium Ore
See Glowerite/Financium Ore (earlier post)

Solar Crystal / Cosmic Crystal
Ugh.  Those drawbacks are really painful.  Too much so.
Suggestion: 10 life / 25% chance opponent draws a card (respectively)
(EDIT: Cosmic Crystal is better than before.)

Spacial Lens
See Shade Filter (earlier post)

Dimensional Disrupt
Me likey much better than the Horror version.  Still of somewhat limited utility, but at least it's not ridiculously so.

Fortune or Bust
Much improved over its earlier incarnation.  I still think it's not particularly useful, but at least it's somewhat interesting.

Life or Death
Seems fair, though First Avrillian will probably need a sac nerf.

Cruelty or Mercy
Painful, that attack-doubling thing.  Still, it's cheap enough to throw at annoying, weak ability creatures, I suppose, though I wouldn't argue if it were made a bit cheaper.

Time Coin
I guess it's somewhat useful in an Autogun deck, assuming Autogun were reasonably priced enough to be worthwhile, or some other hard lockdown/extreme defense deck.

Target the Engines
At 1/1 cost, it's cheap enough to be used as a mana-screwer, possibly making a mana-denial deck actually viable for the first time.  Hopefully not too overpowered.
(EDIT: I really didn't give enough consideration to the card draw aspect.  With that, a mana denial deck becomes too viable.)
Suggestion: Change card draw to "gain 15 life" or maybe one gray mana.

Deregister
Cute, but so limited in effect, that it had to be a cantrip, and it can't really be made much cheaper without getting into weird infinidraw concerns.

Mind Swap
Um... yeah... this seems like it could be abused pretty badly, but at that cost, you'll never be able to guarantee getting it off at all, I suppose.  I can't shake the idea of some ridiculous deck with 65 Nova Crystals, 65 Dark Obelisks, 65 Memory of Traumas, 65 Magical Academies, and 65 of these.

Crossed Wires
So expensive that it's of dubious actual utility, scary though it may be.  Still, I'm reluctant to make it any cheaper.

Stun Grenade
I suppose that's reasonable.  One more Vendor-NPC-Killer.  I suspect its most dangerous use is not defensive, but rather dizzying your opponent's entire field right before your turn.

Targeting Malfunction
Kind of nifty if you can get the attacker to plow into something unpleasant like a Vendor NPC or something, but otherwise it's less useful than a FMV.  That said, the hilarity of luring monsters to attack a Skeletal Warlock, then guiding them into the gaping maw of Mount Mason is probably worth the extra couple of mana.

Invisible Paint
Meh.  Affords some limited amount of protection for something while it recovers from summoning sickness, I suppose.  The low cost seems reasonable.

Hyperspace
Could make for some annoying Minefield decks, but otherwise pretty limited.  Can't beat the price, though.

Stellar Distances
Could be a pretty potent stall card, more useful than Stone Maze, given that you can litter your field with as many ability creatures as you can eat.  With that in mind, it's possibly as good as The Dark Quadrant.
Suggestion: 64 cost

Spacewarp Drive
The thought of using this on Vendor NPC is mildly disconcerting, but generally speaking, it's expensive enough that its powerful ability is probably adequately offset.

Stasis Field
I like this card.  A bit like Reclamation, but doesn't work on things whose abilities are passive in nature.  (or things with modifiers already attached)

Personal Teleporter
Hm.  Kind of like Entrenching and a weak Spell/Ability Immune.  Sounds like a lot, but I'll have to experiment more with it.

Stellar Pack
See Plasma Pack (earlier post)

The Shields
So what was wrong with "Stellar Forcefield"? *shrug*  Seems a little too expensive to me, although this is another one that could do some scary things with Vendor NPC (i.e. make him almost immortal), but not much more so than Exo-Suit.
Suggestion: 34
