I like what's going on here. It's a trickster! It makes Crocodiles! Manifesting is a neat way to tie things together and generate value. My only complaint is that it dies to a stiff breeze, but there's lots of Simic value to be had otherwise.NinjaCaterpie wrote: ↑2 years agoSnapjaw Prestidigitator

Whenever Snapjaw Prestidigitator attacks, choose one:
• Manifest the top card of your library.
• Target face-down creature becomes a 5/5 green Crocodile until end of turn.

This seems like a lot of value for 2 mana, but at uncommon, the UG mode is definitely fine. The discard doesn't seem thematically relevant to the card, and draw-step discard + removal feels like a lot for .Ulka wrote: ↑2 years agoCrocodile Tears

If was spent to cast this spell, each opponent discards a card. If was spent to cast this spell, until end of turn target creature becomes a blue Crocodile with Base power and toughness 3/3.
Target creature you control deals damage equal to its power to target creature you don't control.

I like the alliteration, but as a design, it doesn't excite me, and it isn't a trickster. It's a fine common, though.Sporegorger_Dragon wrote: ↑2 years agoMy previous submission from the alliteration round:

I appreciate the dedication to the alligator aspect of the challenge. That being said, I am not a fan of a creature with hexproof that makes other creatures unblockable. It ends up being a very hard-to-interact with package, and the creature with hexproof has 0 power, so there's absolutely no reason for it to attack, which is the only way to reasonably interact with it. It would potentially be fine in a set with absolutely no other Crocodiles.Krishnath wrote: ↑2 years agoMangrove Mountebank

When Mangrove Mountebank enters the battlefield, create a 4/4 green and black crocodile creature token named "Alligator"
Crocodile creatures you control are unblockable.

The activated ability of Floating Debris is weird to me. I get that it allows the card to kill creatures that are a 2/5 or some other odd stat line, but it feels a bit odd. It is a nice way of shoehorning a 3-color card into one color, though. I'd maybe want it to cost 1U instead of UU?lookingupanddown wrote: ↑2 years agoFloating Debris

When Floating Debris enters the battlefield, scry 2.
Whenever a creature attacks you or a planeswalker you control, you may pay . If you do, Floating Debris becomes a 3/3 Crocodile creature and loses all other types.
: Floating Debris gains deathtouch until end of turn. Activate only if Floating Debris is a creature, and only if it is blocking a creature with power 3 or less.

Swarming Seaport enters the battlefield tapped.

: Swarming Seaport becomes a 3/3 green Crocodile creature with islandwalk and swampwalk until your next upkeep. It's still a land.
The small fishing village was once full of people who thought building on stilts would keep the alligators away.
IIW: creature type Dreadnought
Swarming Settlement having two kinds of color-specific evasion isn't my favorite, but it is a 3/3 that costs 5 to activate (not including it needing to be untapped to attack). It's probably fine as a way to close out against control.
I'm a fan of this as a green Serra Avenger variant. I'm glad it enters tapped on the blink, as it's otherwise a pretty sticky threat.spacemonaut wrote: ↑2 years agoLater Alligator

You can't cast Later Alligator before your third turn of the game.
Whenever Later Alligator becomes the target of a spell, exile it, then return it to the battlefield tapped at the beginning of the next end step.
