No synergy with Krark's Other Thumb. 0/10 literally unplayable. /s

It becomes a pretty efficient draw engine with Erebos, Bleak-Hearted, Razaketh, the Foulblooded or Yawgmoth, Thran Physician. Now if only you could use it with any of those in the command zone.

Well now I want to use this in Zedruu the Greathearted as a very roundabout way to gift people other players' stuff.

An ability that triggers when something "attacks and isn't blocked" triggers in the declare blockers step after blockers are declared if (1) that creature is attacking and (2) no creatures are declared to block it. It will trigger even if that creature was put onto the battlefield attacki...

Yeah, that sounds like an accurate representation of kudzu.

Oh hey, I remember drafting Dragon's Maze. So many clusestones...

Anyway, Singing Bell Strike does pretty much everything Merseine can do and has the fringe utility of some janky infinite mana combos.

Gonna add Brion Stoutarm as a general that can both make good use of big vanilla creatures and gain the life back in the process.

I've never played against him, not even once. But I like the flavour of it. A knight flying a lion is pretty rad.

Funny thing about Archons, according to Plane Shift Zendikar both the rider and the mount are all one creature. Hence why the "human" part almost always has a blindfold.

Draco, draw 16?

And once again I forgot power and toughness. I even proofread it a couple times and still missed it. I think I just get to the flavor text and kind of assume that the card is done. It was supposed to be a 0/5, for what it's worth.

Ojutai Outcast
Creature — Djinn Monk (U)
Flying, double strike
R: Ojutai Outcast gets +1/+0 until end of turn.
The dragonlord taught him peace. The truth gave him freedom.

It works well with commanders that can sacrifice things as a cost. I like it in Brion Stoutarm. I almost got it on a Bearer of the Heavens once to make everything explode forever, but I had to leave that game early.

Yeah, I really dislike that we have Gold and Treasure being functionally identical things yet you can't use one for the other's payoffs. I hate that at a fundamental level.

Don't forget Etherium Cells.

Finally, a use for Artificer's Hex.

Aether Siphon 1B

Enchant artifact you don't control
Whenever enchanted artifact becomes tapped, its controller loses (an energy counter) and you get .
Unexplained aether shortages are usually blamed on gremlins. Sometimes it's even true.

I think it's more useful as a subchallenge. If every first round is forced to be common, that would get old pretty quick. Especially since the space for innovation at common is so limited.

Fateweaver Mystic 1GU Creature — Human Druid Wizard (U) Whenever Fateweaver Mystic attacks or blocks, you may reveal the top card of your library. If you do, Fateweaver Mystic gets +X/+X until end of turn where X is that card's converted mana cost. Put that card into your hand. Fateweavers borrow f...

Sonder 3GG
Creature — Elemental Incarnation (R)
Trample
Sonder's power and toughness are each equal to the total number of cards in your opponents' hands.
As long as a player has seven or more cards in hand, Sonder has hexproof.
Everyone is the hero of their own story.

You can also perma-steal creatures with Conjurer's Closet if you prefer that option.

Overflowing Outrage R
Enchantment - Aura (U)
Enchant creature
Enchanted creature has haste and attacks each combat if able.
When Overflowing Outrage is put into your graveyard from the battlefield, it deals 3 damage to any target.

Well, I botched that round. I should have gone for my original idea of a black knight that made a white knight if spent 3 white mana and ignored the subchallenges. And double checked that I had the right rarity. Oh well, have fun on round 4, guys!

Adamant

Adamant — If at least three blue mana was spent to cast this spell, create a 1/1 red Goblin creature token.

Knights

Chivalrous Charge 3R

Creatures you control get +1/+0.
Knights you control have trample and haste and attack each combat if able.
If there's a difference between "courage" and "recklessness," the knights of Embereth don't know it.
