Phantasmal Gentleman 3U Creature — Illusion Knight (R) Phantasmal Gentleman can block any number of creatures as though they had no abilities, as long as no creature you control not named Phantasmal Gentleman could block them this combat. Phantasmal Gentleman can't be blocked by creatures that coul...

Hey @Ulka, still busy? I'm interested in seeing how this plays out.

With apologies to Chaos of Tarkir , for the RU Jeskai faction: https://imgur.com/eetQ8aI.png Text version Heron-Style Cultivator 2U Creature — Human Monk (R) Insight — Whenever a card enters your hand except the first one you draw in each of your draw steps, you may exile an instant card from your g...

Unblinking Fire W
Enchantment — Aura (U)
Enchant creature with defender

You may cast sorcery spells as though they had flash if they target only attacking or blocking creatures.

Ancestors of the Horde [sym=r][sym=r][sym=r] Creature — Spirit Warrior (U) Haste, trample As long as Ancestors of the Horde entered the battlefield this turn, its base power and toughness are 7/1. 2/2 IIW Alt-universe Tarkir where the dragons survived but in chains. They live an abject existence as...

I agree with spacemonaut's evaluations in pretty much every way, so I'm just going to talk through how I might build up from that foundation. I can't balance all those constraints in my head at once so I'm going to go about it with a slightly different approach. We have, as a starting point (I'm abo...

I'm happy to see that 'every color iconics' isn't dead! I'm still stumped on how to do green sphinx, though.

Classes have specializations that vary wildly in scope and gameplay. Enhancement shaman and resto shaman clearly don't have the same color identity. I think if you're going to do this, you have to narrow it down to spec, not just class.

Quoting the OP apparently doesn't indicate that you read it. Thanks for this off-topic contribution.

So, when I suggest playing multiplayer MTG, people tend to gravitate toward certain formats which I'm not a huge fan of, mainly because they are structured around teams, which are a poor fit for my play group size, or they involve elimination, which I don't like because it can sideline one player or...

For a binary choice I honestly can't think of a better solution than MDFC for this.

Professor of Artifice 3U Creature — Human Advisor (R) As Professor of Artifice enters the battlefield, choose Invention or Tradition. • Invention — Artifact spells you cast cost 1 less to cast. • Tradition — When Professor of Artifice enters the battlefield, return target artifact card from your gr...

Arashin Bondweaver 2GG
Creature — Hound Cleric (U)
Whenever you cast a white or black spell, put a +1/+1 counter on Arashin Bondweaver and a +1/+1 counter on another target creature you control.
2/2

So, when are we going to talk about what "a wish" is?

Overall I'm seeing a lot/ of mechanics here (two on one card even!) and not a lot of tying together.

Sorry for missing the round! I have been moving house and my availability has been compromised. Good luck to the finalists!

Pageturner Sphinx 4UU Creature — Sphinx (R) Flying When Pageturner Sphinx enters the battlefield, name a card and reveal the top card of your library. If the named card is revealed this way, put the revealed cards into your hand. Otherwise, exile the revealed cards and repeat this process, except r...

I can't do crits effectively on mobile, my apologies. Here's a top 3:

1. Ink_Treader

(nostalgia is a toxic impulse) Captivating Marquise 2BB Creature — Vampire Noble (R) Lifelink Whenever a creature dealt damage by Captivating Marquise this turn dies, return it and Captivating Marquise from the graveyard to the battlefield under your control at the beginning of the next end step. 2/...

Here's a new take on white removal.

You know, I'm not so sure about design challenges that crucially hinge on formats that participants in the challenge might not necessarily like or play.

Fariba, the Unseen 1GWU Legendary Creature — Human Wizard (M) Hexproof Whenever a nontoken Aura is returned to your hand from the battlefield, you may create a token that's a copy of it. Whenever Fariba the Unseen attacks, you may return target Aura to its owner's hand. 2/2 https://i.imgur.com/JHSf...

Gateways7: I like this concept a lot. I think however there are some wording issues, see Rageform and the like for how WotC handled it. void_nothing: I don't understand the flavor of the copying ability here. However, it's a fun looking card and a good use of totem armor. Subject16: I'm not sure ho...

bravelion83: Okay, it's a fight spell with replicate. Nothing much to see here. Gateways7: I think this card is cool but coalesce seems very dangerous since you can't even hand attack it to turn it off. netn10: Setting aside other problematic stuff, surveil 5 for 2 mana seems to be too much for me....

Howling Visage 1G
Enchantment — Aura (U)
Enchant creature
Masquerade 2G (2G: If this is in your hand, exchange it with an Aura you own on the battlefield.)
Enchanted creature gets +2/+2, is a Wolf in addition to its types, and can't be blocked by creatures with power 2 or less.

Commander of Isembart 4WW Creature — Human Knight (R) Vigilance When Commander of Isembart enters the battlefield, create two 2/2 white Knight creature tokens with vigilance. If you would create a creature token, you may create a 2/2 white Knight creature token with vigilance instead. 3/3 IIW do so...
