Argana - So that triggered ability obviously is the marquee part of this card and it's tremendously powerful, but at least this lady has to last until combat ends to get the benefit; since it still triggers no matter what Argana herself did that turn, though, it could easily blow out an opponent who doesn't have instant-speed removal on the turn you play it. I really like all the abilities here but maybe an "if THIS attacked this turn" clause would be appropriate?

Morgoth - Very flavorful to the original Asterion from the myths. A 5/6 that straight up eats attackers is a lot for four mana but loner is generally not an OP mechanic. Any particular reason why no "or a planeswalker you control" here? Slight name issue coming from another IP but proper names are easy to change.

Pagorgo - A neat card that I can't fully figure out the flavor of. Is Pagorgo helping your creatures wield Manaliths with his immense strength or is he a weaponsmith like the three OG Cyclopes who helped out Zeus? Either way it seems slightly unimpressive to have him pick up a Pithing Needle or Spellbook, lol.

Silidran - Definitely feels Sphinx-y. The activated ability seems interesting but time-consuming if you activate multiple times a turn. The triggered ability seems somewhat dangerous but hey, we've seen crazier draw abilities from this creature type alone.
Psst, check the second page of Custom Card Contests & Games! Because of the daily contests, a lot of games fall down to there.

Argana - That's a fair suggestion. She certainly is powerful when she works.
Morgoth - No reason, just error. Would change.
Pagorgo - Was trying to illustrate a cyclops pickings up big things and smashing them into people. So Maybe I should go back to my intiial idea of just allowing him to pick up artifacts. Maybe big artifacts.
Silidran - Good point on the time factor. Will consider alternatives.
