Maybe I should have made it Mana Clash instead of Game of Chaos?

Maralen: 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.

The Maralen on the card and who's in the novel isn't really an Elf.

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.

Haste
Whenever a player casts a spell with X in its mana cost, if X isn't 0, roll a six-sided die. X becomes that number. That spell's controller may choose new modes, targets, and distributions of effects for that spell.

You have provided a card that does all* of the above by itself! Which is pretty sweet, don't get me wrong, but maybe a lot for one card. Oh, and Genesis Hydra sends its regards as well.

Thanks!! I was definitely thinking as I made it that this card should never exist, lol

Herald of the Crabtide 2RU
Creature — Crab Shaman
At the beginning of each player's end step, that player chooses a non-Crab creature they control at random. They put a carcinization counter on that creature. For as long as it has a carcinization counter on it, it's a Crab in addition to its other types and has base power and toughness 3/3.
Crabs get +1/+0 for each other Crab its controller controls.

Mana clash is at least plausibly red.

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.

Modern MTG design is trending in such a way that we may yet see a card that "does it all" so stay tuned.

Avatar of Chaos RRR
Creature — Avatar {M}
Haste
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 DO NOT have time to read Magic the Gathering Books

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.

Modern MTG design is trending in such a way that we may yet see a card that "does it all" so stay tuned.

Maybe even tomorrow.

Did you not read the Kamigawa cycle? I just assumed you had based on other discussions we've had.

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
