New Creature Class

Well, I can't vote for myself so...

Vote: Subject16

New creature class, eh? No problem. Here's one that is much needed. Incidentally, there is a difference between Class and Type, Beast is a type, Cleric is a class. Just to clear up any confusion that might be.


New Class: Merchant.

Merchants are people who buy and sell stuff. Old cards that would get this type if it was introduced would be cards like Trade Caravan, Merchant Ship, and Icatian Moneychanger, anyway, enough exposition, on to the card!

Zviera Beastmaster RUG
Creature - Elf Shaman Merchant (Common)
Whenever a nontoken creature enters the battlefield under your control, create a treasure token. (it's a colorless artifact with "T, sacrifice this artifact: Add one mana of any color.")
2/2

IIW: Playing with fire.

Edit: Fixed a typo.

I'll choose Artist. I could see it cover painters and sculptors, as one would expect, but also singers and poets.

Realmbrusher 1G
Creature - Human Artist (U)
When Realmbrusher enters the battlefield, create a token that's a copy of target land and put an art counter on it.
When Realmbrusher leaves the battlefield, sacrifice a land with an art counter on it.
1/1

IIW: Creating copies

Mtenda Manepriest 4W
Creature - Human Cleric Tamer (U)
When Mtenda Manepriest enters the battlefield, create a 2/2 white Cat creature token.
Whenever a Cat you control attacks, put a +1/+1 counter on that creature and it gains double strike until end of turn.
1/1

IIW: Fun with -1/-1 counters

Old Mogg 1rr
Creature - Goblin Mentor (u)
Each Goblin you control gets +1/+1 for each Old Mogg card in your graveyard.
Few Moggs survive long enough to gather experience but at least they can tell the many, many ways the others have died.
2/2

2: Gossip. (To gossip, reveal a card from your hand that you haven't revealed this turn to an opponent of your choice, then that player may do the same. Gossip only as a sorcery.)
Rose Court Sycophant gets +1/+1 for each time you've Gossiped this turn.
"I hear the Kenriths are at it again."
1/3

During the last Great Designer Search, one of the challenges was a top-down design challenge where they gave you a theme and a bunch of words, and the contestants had to make cards for each of those words based on that theme. The theme was circus (the plane of Bigtopia), so I created a new creature type for that - Performers.

Contortionist
Creature - Elf Performer (U)
If damage would be dealt to Contortionist, prevent all but 1 of that damage.
Whenever Contortionist blocks or becomes blocked by a Performer creature, that creature's controller may flip a coin. If they win the flip, that creature gains deathtouch until end of turn; if they lose the flip, Contortionist gains deathtouch until end of turn.
