Welcome to the third round of this month's MCC! Last round we've learned not to underestimate your characters. In fact, they're all quite epic! Now, I'm sure I'm not the only one attracted to that kind of power... Let the saying "Show me who your friends are, and I'll tell you who you are" be our guide this time!
Main Challenge: Design an Uncommon Creature card that is your Round 1 Character's follower.
Subchallenge 1: Your card references the Character's Planeswalker subtype in its rules text.
Subchallenge 2: Your card is all colors of your Round 1's Character card plus one additional color.
Please provide a link to the Round 1 Character for reference.

Design
(X/3) Appeal - Do the different player psychographics (Timmy/Johhny/Spike) have a use for the card?
(X/3) Elegance - Is the card easily understandable at a glance? Do all the flavor and mechanics combined as a whole make sense?
Development
X/3) Viability - How well does the card fit into the color wheel? Does it break or bend the rules of the game? Is it the appropriate rarity?
(X/3) Balance - Does the card have a power level appropriate for contemporary constructed/limited environments without breaking them? Does it play well in casual and multiplayer formats? Does it create or fit into a deck/archetype? Does it create an oppressive environment?
Creativity
(X/3) Uniqueness - Has a card like this ever been printed before? Does it use new mechanics, ideas, or design space? Does it combine old ideas in a new way? Overall, does it feel "fresh"?
(X/3) Flavor - Does the name seem realistic for a card? Does the flavor text sound professional? Do all the flavor elements synch together to please Vorthos players?
Polish
(X/3) Quality - Points deducted for incorrect spelling, grammar, and templating.
(X/2) Main Challenge (*) - Was the main challenge satisfied? Was it approached in a unique or interesting way? Does the card fit the intent of the challenge?
(X/2) Subchallenges - One point awarded per satisfied subchallenge condition.
Total: X/25
