The Maralen on the card and who's in the novel isn't really an Elf.Megiddo wrote: ↑3 years agoMaralen: Isn't Maralen an Elf? But anyway, this is fun, maybe keying off of the recently-spoiled Garth One-Eye card copy technology we have seen. Let me just do the math very quickly.
Turn 0: Create a Bitterblossom (1) and lose 1 life (1).
Turn 1: Create a Faerie (1) and lose 1 life (2); Create a Bitterblossom (2) and lose 2 life (4)
Turn 2: Create two Faeries (3) and lose 2 life (6); Create a Bitterblossom (3) and lose 3 life (9). Attack for 1 (1).
Turn 3: Create three Faeries (6) and lose 3 life (12); Create a Bitterblossom (4) and lose 4 life (16). Attack for 3 (4).
Turn 4: Create four Faeries (10) and lose 4 life (20).
I think I could have stopped after turn 2, where you have lost 9 life by the time you deal 1 damage with Faerie tokens.
I designed her with the rest of the Faerie tribe in mind; she'd be backed up by your regular Bitterblossom cards and can be championed with Mistbind Clique when she becomes too much of a liability.

except for the entire Onslaught cycle, apparently, which I later learned are hyperbolically-regarded as the worst books ever written. I am great at identifying literature for consumption.
edit: I completely forgot! I have a LOT more to say about the "creating existing card" technology that you used in your entry. Keep your eyes open.

Whenever Avatar of Chaos becomes blocked by a creature, the owner of that creature shuffles it into their library, then reveals the top card of their library. If it's a permanent card, they put it onto the battlefield. If it's a creature, it enters blocking Avatar of Chaos.

Man I feel you, good thing they just made the story into online articles.
But man, that was an incredibly baffling story direction because we just had a TRIBAL block where Maralen hailed from, so you had this Elf who wasn't an Elf but is actually storywise a Fairy in the set where that distinction actually mattered.
Maybe even tomorrow.

As you may be able to tell from the jumbled mess of words, the next challenge is Adventures in the Forgotten Realms; ie. what you might see in the next Standard set, set in the D&D world of the Forgotten Realms
Anything remotely D&D aligned (heh) is fair go, even things that aren't part of FR. If you're unsure, maybe you could grab a random evocative spell or monster and try to card it.
If you don't know anything about D&D, say as much and I can go easy on the flavour
