Inviting Grimalkin 2R

Spells players cast that target Deceitful Grimalkin cost 3 less to cast.
Whenever Deceitful Grimalkin becomes the target of a spell or ability, it deals damage equal to its power to that spell or abilities' controller.
3/2

IIW: Symmetrical effects
I'm imagining living the dream with this and Blazing Shoal where you pump its power in response to the opponent targeting it with a spell. The various +X/+0 effects are even cheaper to cast in order to do this!

I strongly dislike Day/Night as a mechanic, so I probably won't be giving you this challenge. However, I'll give you that at least this card is easier to read than the likes of Brimstone Vandal.

Goldenhide Tree Cat can't be blocked except by creatures with flying and/or reach.
When Goldenhide Tree Cat dies, you may pay 1. If you do, create your choice of a Food token or a Treasure token.
Unsurprisingly valuable pelts, shockingly good eating.

I don't know what it is, but something here feels off to me. I thought maybe the color(s), but it does technically work. Maybe the red feels a little tacked-on? The first strike + evasion maybe?

This is another card that feels "off" for some reason I can't put my finger on. I think this is pretty strong. You trade the card from Crippling Chill for two bodies (with haste!), which I think is a reasonable exchange.

This is a big stalemate breaker in limited, if you keep just a single 3/x, you have inevitability through 6/6 for days. It may probably be the best rare card in a given draft format, but something has to be, and it's hard to make this win on the spot (although it can happen with the first ability.)

A cool concept for Universes Beyond, but physical activity cards are less inclusive. Even "say something" cards don't take into account people who can't do it, so I'd rather explore other concepts for silver border acorn stamped.

I want this for my changeling deck. If the abilities only trigger once each turn, I don't see why make it nontoken. An elf token generator in your Elf/Dragon deck feels like part of the team, and it's sad to exclude it from the fun.

Is it "choose two creatures among them" ? And "Goad the rest of those creatures" ? Assuming it is true, it feels a bit underwhelming for a big commander match. Hardly the event of the century, seeing a 1/1 elf token fighting a 3/3, while two other tokens go attacking somewhere. Just let me choose the fighters even if this costs a little more.

It's nice that you include an additional way to escape this effect, but getting there is pretty un-fun. If you've got 4 cards in hand when this hits you, you would have to not play anything, not even lands, for three turns to get back up to 7. That can be pretty punnishing. Most of the time it'd be easier to just get rid of the creature this is stuck to.

I'm not sure how this would work in a lot of situations. Like,would you not be able to cast Counterspell if there was only one spell on the stack to target? If a card has only two modes to choose from, like Abrade, would you not be able to cast it because you can't choose three? That aside, this would be a pretty cool card to build around. Some sort of Charm based deck. Alignment as a subtype would imply other neat "choose x instead" cards.

Thanks. There were a lot of interactions to consider when designing it but I'm pretty sure it would work as you suspect. It's supposed to be a semi-hoser in certain circumstances. I did have a few more ideas for "choose X" and that is what alignment is supposed to represent. I changed it to hex because alignment seemed overly specific (also it had 3 letters to stay in theme.)

Psychological Gorilla uugG
Creature - Ape Soldier (R)
You may cast Psychological Gorilla from the top of your library if you looked at it this turn.
Flash, reach
When Psychological Gorilla enters the battlefield, if you cast it from anywhere other than your hand, or no mana was spent to cast it, choose one -
Counter target creature spell.
Destroy target noncreature permanent.
Sometimes a banana isn't just a banana.
3/3

I did indeed intend nonland permanent.

Encirclement WBR
Enchantment - Aura (R)
Enchant opponent
As long as you control more creatures than enchanted player, that player can't gain life or create tokens.
At the beginning of your upkeep, if you control at least three more creatures than enchanted player, that player loses 4 life.
Patience can be the cruelest virtue in war.

Is this supposed to be Acorn, right? (the new symbol for UN cards) Because just by looking at it, it's still hidden information. Like, what if it's the last card in your library, you look at it, and shuffle. Did you look at it or not?
If it is UN, it's a fun minigame.

Weakish I, very strong II and III. You can even use the 2 lands you sacrifice for mana that turn, and with all costing 2 less, I could see someone easily dropping 16 mana of creatures/planeswalkers that turn (aided by the 2 extra cards.) Then if they survive just 1 turn...
Anyways, good design that may need to cost extra depending on the format.

This could be a good build around card for an attrition strategy, but I wonder what would that deck look like... I usually keep more than 3 creatures than my opponents, but I don't win just by attacking? Is my deck all walls or something? And hosing lifegain and tokens may turn this into a sideboard option card, but then it's super narrow costing 3 colors and doing nothing in a low creature count deck.
