Interesting! This presumably latches onto Dragon! I can't help but feel there is a way to break that second ability, even though activating it too much will eventually kill the drake, the dragon and even you.

A much bigger drake than usual. Interesting build-around-me card. My concern is as worded, the first ability only puts a counter on the creature if it entered from graveyard, because the creature hasn't resolved by the time the triggered ability does. Was this your intent?

IIW: Welcome to the Jungle.

We've got the making of Grixis Aristocrats here. This does make me a little sad; this will not be able to use all the Grixis zombie tokens to grow, although they're fair game for the second ability.

It's close between cheetos and Krishnath, so I think I'll give it to cheetos primarily for the naming of Grixis Drake (I really don't have a better name for this thing, it's from the actual Alara shard, it's a drake, what do you want from me?)

Next:
Unfinity, or Planeswalker vacations after beating Phyrexia.

[Krishnath]

I leaned *heavily* into the flavor of Grixis with my entry. Pretty much all bigger creatures of the shard are undead, the few living creatures tend to be either humanoids or tiny. Everything else has been drained of all life a long time ago. It's only because the Necromancers figured out how to drain Vis to power their spells without killing the subject they drained it from that the Vithians and Ogres aren't extinct as well. Thus I gave the drake the first sacrifice ability to represent it eating living creatures to empower itself. The second sacrifice ability, well, it is Grixis, and it is Sedraxis, so... Yeah.

Anyway, that was my though process. I'll be back later with an entry for this challenge.

[chetoos]

I'm just glad my inability to write a good name won me the contest here

So, you've all come up with new expansions for the Astrotorium for me to pitch to Myra. I'll review each of these, and make sure only the best gets through. We don't want to bog Myra down with anything not worth her time, after all.

Oh, I love it, the ability to invite more planeswalkers to the astrotorium, giving us a wonderful boost in cross promotion, as well as securing more likeness rights. I'm sure that Myra would love this idea, earning me another raise.

Didn't I say that? Your ideas are now my ideas, legally binding, you should have read the waiver a little better. Ta Ta!

Winner: Krisnath, for combining both prompts into one very interesting card. Terrible in limited, but I can't wait to play my sticker superfriends list (Even if most ability stickers work better on creatures)

Next: Welcome to the Jungle. (Note: Not in the prompt, but fun and games are not guaranteed.)

[Sporegorger_Dragon]

One minor note is that attractions are sent to the junkyard, not the graveyard

This is killing me because:

1-I specifically looked up what the Junkyard was called.
2-I mentally made sure to type out "Attraction deck" instead of library.
3-Despite that, I still typed out graveyard.

[Mergatroid_Jones]

I'm surprised that Space Beleren is still here, considering that this version doesn't seem very loyal. (Also, Dave should have flash.)

Ahh yes, I forgot Jace's 1 loyalty. But Dave is an instant creature, so flash would be redundant.
