It's a bit worrying power level-wise how easy an undercosted 6/8 is to crew with just a single 1/1 token, but I could see situations where it doesn't do much (especially without trample).

Greetings, I'm glad you're all here.
Let's get to the point. My patron is a greedy, selfish, demanding and egoistical five-headed monster, each head seemingly more unpleasant than the last.
If I can get him a specimen worthy of his attention, I will be awarded a generous commission, you'll receive your cut, and a promise of future work.
If I fail, I'll be eaten by the green-aligned head, and you'll receive jack-squat.
Now, let see what you've brought me.
The upper and lower pitchers often differ greatly in both structure and color, likely an adaptation for different types of prey encountered in different levels.
This particular species, however, seems to have eschewed lower pitchers altogether. I will tentatively name it Nepenthes aerophila, "air-lover".
Oh, there are whole forests comprised of Nepenthes? That's sure to interest my patron, but here's some personal advice; keep the location to yourself, and negotiate a higher price. You now have a bargaining-chip, and leverage over the dragon, but be careful.
However, if you do not wish to deal with him directly, then I will gladly broker a deal between you two, for a sufficient cut of course.
Very interesting that the denizens of the plane also utilize these forests to protect their homes; my patron would like to see to see that in-person, or rather in-dragon.
I will name Nepenthes ophiomorpha, "snake-form".
Interesting specimen. This species appears to have more potent digestive liquids than other species. Usually, if pitchers become overloaded with prey items, they will begin to putrefy, but this species doesn't have that problem.
The digestive juices appear sufficient to prevent decay of food before digestion is complete. My patron will want to hybridize with his other strains,
But this specimen originates from a primarily snow-covered plane, and appears to have adapted to utilizing geothermal energy to allow to survive freezing temperatures.
My patron will not want this housed with his other specimens, but he will be very interested in its adaptions that allow it to withstand the extreme heat.
I will name it Nepenthes pyrophila, "fire-lover".
I will name Nepenthes glotonoria, "glutton".
It's morphology is unique as well. Is it a giant that has been parasitized by an aberrant species of Nepenthes, or is it a Nepenthes that mimics a giant. Worthy of further study.
It seems its sickly fragrance causes creatures to attack recklessly; possibly some sort of pheromone or mind-altering agent. My patron will be very interested in this ability and its applications.
I will name it Nepenthes titanomachia, "war of the titans".
I will be taking these specimens to the dragon. If I don't come back, run.
Ok, @Ulka ? He'll take the Lava Pitcher. Good job.
And @Mergatroid_Jones? He'll take the Canopy Pitchers. And he wants to have an audience with you. Good luck.

A strong beginning. Here we have a Nepenthes draped like a liana in the upper canopy, specializing in arboreal and aerial prey.

A good entry by Mergatroid, a strong contender, and a nice little bit of world-building that I appreciate very much. I like how all three mechanically evoke the feel of carnivorous plants.
The first is basically flyer-hate, a cornerstone of green, and I think the second has w to justify the banishment effect. I myself don't mind creature-only banishment as tertiary in green, but I can understand why some, including Mr. Rosewater himself, feel that green shouldn't get it.

A gluttonous plant, but with slow digestion. Its feeding strategy is that of snakes; consuming large prey infrequently with long periods of digestion in between.Megiddo wrote: ↑3 years agoRavenous Pitcher

A call back to the original Carnivorous Plant, and possibly a reference to the Chomper from Plants vs Zombies series. Seems a bit underpowered though for a rare; this can't block the turn it comes into play, and can't block the turn it loses the last counter because the untap step has already passed by then.
Now this is strange! Nepenthes are mostly a tropical genus, but many of the more spectacular species grow at high elevations; where even in the tropics temperatures can be very cold.Ulka wrote: ↑3 years agoLava Pitcher

Kaldheim?! A strange choice for a tropical plant, but like I mentioned above, a lot of the more famous species grow in the highlands; I know one grower who has to keep his Nepenthes villosa in a modified refrigerator.
I initially felt that the plant should be nonsnow, and its ability should target snow creatures, but then I realized that the plant was luring prey with the promise of warmth; hence why it targets a nonsnow creature.

Nepenthes are indeed known as "monkey cups" in their countries of origin. And apparently primates do occasionally take a sip.
Card seems fine for an uncommon, but very slow. Might even be too slow for Limited, but of course that depends on the environment.

Nepenthes as a beatstick, but again with the ability to provoke and attack to emulate the quality of attracting prey.
While I like the "Vampire" ability of eating creatures via exile and growing, I feel the provoke should have necessitated a splash of a second color.

Lovely. They've very much hinted at this kind of design with Enchanted Carriage and Esika's Chariot, but the toughness-crew text is a cute way to do something interesting while making more conservative bodies-- allowing you to go nuts if left unchecked. If this ever gets to attack, it becomes pretty impossible to contain but the bodies are never broken.Flatline wrote: ↑3 years agoField Plow

Alrighty, so it's a GR card that gets a GW land. Perhaps Kaladesh II is shard-based. The card itself is alright, but not inspiring.

A good old fashioned energy farm. Again, I could see this being a cycle where each sacrifices for a different benefit. In Kaladesh, they were very very careful to make cards that use Energy also produce energy and vice-versa (with few exceptions), and I think it's best to stand by that rule. But if it's not a cycle, it can just be the Rogue Refiner of the set.
I can see what you're doing mechanically, and I think it's a neat idea, but I don't really feel that food has a place in Kaladesh, even in rural Kaladesh. Sure, they eat food everywhere, but it just doesn't feel like the place. Nonetheless I do like the idea.Cythare wrote: ↑3 years agoPanka Sharecropper
