NEXUS FLAMINGO ☆ Exclusively For Custom Card Connoisseurs and Gnomes

[Sojourner Dusk]

I'm tired, and I have an errand to run, so I'm letting Momir handle the judging for me.

Subject 16: Your Hydradile is a color hoser that might emerge unscathed when a fight is triggered due to the protection.

mellifluoresce: Your submission was dead on arrival.

chetoos: Grounded Faeires never made much sense to me, even if they've received noble, Elven blood.

wonderful: Goblins breeding with Angels?! Even Kraj would swipe left on that hideousness. Additionally, since the abomination has lifelink, it would gain you 4 life from the sacrifice.

Cythare: While the variety of life on Tarkir deserves study, this encourages me to not visit. Interesting self-mill, and the neo-dredge has some curious potential.

Henlock: Go sleep it off.

Mergatroid_Jones: There should be a penalty if it doesn't attack or block, since it is going into a Berserk rage.

Cardz5000: Selesnyans need to stay in their lane. As this is presumably a Captain of one of their divisions, I'm sure there was a heavy price to pay to the Orzhov for the breeding fees. Seems they may have been overcharged.

Sagharri: I wonder if it is capable of satire. Reminds me of a woman I once heard a story about named Brigid. Capable woman, but people were stunned to inaction if she managed to get hold of a collar.

void_nothing: I don't want to think about the breeding process for this monstrosity. Such a shame it dies if it isn't challenged. Might want to check for a sundial to see if that keeps happening.

NinjaCaterpie: A Dragodile? Wouldn't this merely be a Drake? Most Dragons aren't going to consort with something so mindless as a crocodile. The only thing Legendary about One Thousand Teeth might be its noxious breath.

Winner: Sagharri.
Your punishment challenge: Randomness. No idea what that entails.

Judging time.

chetoos - Rakdos Shell Game - I'm not sure if it's enough Rakdos Would expect more blood, less explosives

Mergatroid_Jones - River Funkh - Hippo Rogue is enough random choice for me :laugh:

Sojourner Dusk - Nescient Lottery - Double chance to win! Wait, what?

mellifluoresce - Electrostatic Purge - Unfortunately doesn't work with copies.

Cythare - Scjor, Loyalty Unbound - Maybe it's me, but I think that I don't like to see such long name for Incarnation .

ApocalypseChive - In the Thick of It - .... and then comes Doran and it ruins all fun.

Subject16 - Mass Trasmogrification - It is definitely random. Just don't know why I think about Worldfire while I read it. And that little voice in my mind - this game is too LONG.

NinjaCaterpie - Engulfing Lightning - First thought? Stuffy Doll and few (>10) tokens

spacemonaut - Rolling Lightning - Let me roll my dice. Damn... Three times '1'.

TheRavenManIsSquee - Magic mana Minecraft wizard - Hmm... Let's check at Random Card at Gatherer. It's opinion is: Plains, Plains and
Underground River.

[Cardz5000]

Mergatroid_Jones » Jindaowi, Spirit of Mt. Jinduru: This feels like it may be from the Plane of Mountains and Seas. Getting rid of slumber counters on this is a bit rough, but you also get a nice little ritual for it as well. I think I would have prefered the attack trigger to not exile lands but just ping a single creature or planeswalker for each land in the grave.

NinjaCaterpie » Raganai, the Thundercaller: Turning a gutshot into 8 damage with this guy is savage! This feels like it gives way too much value! I'm also unsure if the 8 damage trigger is supposed to go off when it is targeted for the 3rd time, or just for the 4th time and beyond.

Sojourner Dusk » Mu Gevt, Living Caldera: I personally am not a fan of landwalk, so that is a bit of a strike for me on this card. I think this needs to cost a little bit more considering how well it ramps you, it could have also been neat to see the pain from tapping for mana transfer into a Pyrohemia (+planeswalkers) activation when it becomes a creature.

spacemonaut » Demiurge of the Dawn: Triggering off an increase in devotion is really interesting territory. As a Demiurge, it's really weird to have them be an artifact (who created the things that created the universe plane?, actually point taken that might be an interesting plot development...) I wish this did something more than just be a 5/5 mana dork after the wrath.

Sagharri » Tar Pit Regisau: This is a sold card that I honestly think would see some play in modern without being too overbearing for most standard environments. Really nailed this one.

Cythare » Forgotten Soldier: I imagine the art on this being an armored spirit over a dilapidated gravestone. This guy has a surprising amount going on with really wanting you to spend their mana on combat spells or abilities so you can get the most out of it. Solid work.

avatarz » Throne of Durrak: This is for you.

Winner: Sagharri
HM goes to Cythare.

Next up: News from Amonkhet after defeating Bolas.
