Magna Carta
6GG- Item

As long as Magna Carta is in play, players cannot play cards of cost 4 or more.

This card would lock the game too much. I could not play Repurpose to destroy it, I could not play Idol Smasher or Blow Up. I could not play Cute Cutpurse and I could not play Booty Licker. I couldn't play Forget either. Bankers cannot destroy items.

This means that with this on the field, I destroy every deck with a majority of cards that cost four or more. Think about how many decks does this and most of all, think about the removal. Most item removal cards cost four or more, so with this in play, I would be able to control the game until I win.

I would like to see some kind of clock on this one, like "Destroy this card on the third turn after it came into play".

What about the card not limiting all cards of cost four or more, perhaps only characters and items or something like that? The clock thing could work, too, but just trying to consider all the possibilities.

This should be a location and not an item.

As pointed out, it makes it too difficult to beat if it is an item, as a location, your field as is can punch it down. I'd only give it one or two structure as well because it can lock the game down so much.

Maybe go the opposite route and make it like Magic's Trinisphere and increase the cost of low cost cards. It would make it most useful to Banker Gearsmith decks who can produce alot of cheap resources, but still does kinda what you're looking to do without totally locking the game out.

Magna Carta
5GG- Location
2 Structure

As long as Magna Carta is in play, players cannot play cards of cost 4 or more.

or

Magna Carta
5GG- Location
4 Structure

As long as Magna Carta is in play, the cost of all cards increases by 2.

[Hordak]

increasing costs on all cards is counter to what the original suggestion was trying to do. What about:

Magna Carta
6GG- Item

While Magna Carta is in play, cards with a cost number of 4 or greater now cost an additional 2.

It hurts higher cost cards, and leaves cheapies alone.
