Can you believe that when I set the challenge, I actually forgot rituals were a thing in Magic and I was just thinking about normal magical rituals?
anyway, there's a lot of entries so I'm going to judge by everyone's favourite measure: storm scale. or at least something like "would a fair deck actually use this"
- Blood Sacrifice is cute but the colours feel wrong
- Ostrov Commerce is just fixing and that doesn't feel red
- Should Viking Funeral have a cost / forced targetting?
- Dragon's Hoard is cute.
Enthusiasm is hilarious.
winner is Cythare

Raid enforcement is cool. I like that instant makes it useable for tricks/pump
This feels breakable somehow. The fetch clause probably makes the card a little black and is fairly safe, but the mana can get pretty spicy even in Standard.chetoos wrote: ↑3 years agoThe Promised Day

Add for each tapped land your opponents controls.
For each opponent, if that player has more lands that you, they may have you create two gold tokens. If they don't create three 1/1 White soldier creature tokens.

1 mana of ramp out of your graveyard seems pretty bad, especially when this does nothing until cast.

(Ostrov Commerce and Blood Sacrifice are from a faction set I've been working on from time to time over the last three years. They're from the Temur and Abzan colored factions respectively. The Ostrov are a merchant clan, while the others are a very religious family that are well.... As you get from the name, not at all opposed to sacrificing living things in occult rituals. Had I known you meant magic rituals as in the fantasy trope and not in the MTG sense, I'd have shared a few cards with their faction mechanic instead because it is the very aptly named "Ceremony". Lol)
I'll see if I come up with something for this challenge later.
