Grenzo's Rabble-Rouser

2RR

Creature - Goblin Rogue

Draft Grenzo's Rabble-Rouser face up.
When you draft Grenzo's Rabble-Rouser, reverse the draft's order. (For example, if packs had been being passed clockwise around the table, they are now passed counterclockwise.)

All creatures are goaded (a goaded creature attacks each combat if able and attacks a player other than you if able.)

3/3

IIW: Food

[spacemonaut]

TheRavenManIsSquee / Fall of the Black Rose — This probably doesn't actually play super well: "Each player loses 1 life each turn until they feel like gaining 3 life."

NinjaCaterpie / Fall from Grace — Very bold move. I'm impressed. (You're missing an IIW though.)

Mergatroid_Jones / Conspiracy Creatures & Artifacts — This is pretty interesting new territory, and they're neat and make for a little bit of edge.

Stapler / Zenelli — Delicious mercenaries. I like the ways your opponents are incentivised to give you options to try to buy control of Zenelli, but I worry whether in playtesting he's worth the price. He is awesome though.

Subject16 / Selvala, Wilds Enraged — The first ability is missing words. The second is pretty explosive. Neat direction, needs some polish.

mellifluoresce / Prorogue the Court — This was an oof heard around the world. Nice idea.

avatarz / Sarzurian Foreshaper — %$#%$#% I like this shapeshifter approach. And it's an appropriately conspiracy-y feeling one too.

Cardz5000 / Grenzo's Rabble-Rouser — My rabbles are roused. I like both of these abilities. However this also secretly says "creatures can't attack you" and "all your creatures are probably unblockable" both of which are a pretty big deal! I'm concerned this is undercosted or needs a different way to manage the goading.

All of you made really fun looking cards.


Winner: avatarz
Dishonorable mention: mellifluoresce, your presence is required in the Paliano high court tomorrow.

Craig is high level player/Pro Tour winner renowned for his love of white aggressive decks, extending to be most likely to force white aggro in draft to the extent that you'd have to consider whether white was going to be open just from his presence in the draft pod.

Cascade (When you cast this spell, exile cards from the top of your library until you exile a nonland card that costs less. You may cast it without paying its mana cost. Put the exiled cards on the bottom of your library in a random order.)

Stapler: I would have liked more these cards, both design and flavour wise, if they started already as lands and eventually losed their ability to do things or stopped being enchantments along the way (e.g. start with three counters, they are enchantments for as long as they have counters on them). I like the idea, though!

TheRavenManIsSquee: I asked for a Land Enchantment! For the TAP, just write

Code: Select all

[mana]T[/mana]

(as you can with any other cost).

spacemonaut: Devotion land: cute! The card is fine, but maybe wants to do too much. Probably looting is fine without the scrying, at that cost.

mellifluoresce: I really wish that this costed 1 less, but it probably would get things out of control too easily. I like that it fixes any color in a WURBG and ramps in other types of decks.

Sagharri: I like the concept, but I don't love the execution. +2/+2 seems too good for a colorless activation and at instant speed. Additionally, I really don't feel the enchantment bit of the card, as this could be printed without problems as a simple land.

NinjaCaterpie: I like that this has a static effect, as an enchantment would. I think however that this might still be too good for a free effect.

kateodonnell: so, the creature becomes the temple of god? I don't like the Aura attribute to a Land, as it doesn't make much sense flavorwise (unless it's some kind of ghost land that infests other lands... i guess?). Note: although we already saw in future sight auras and enchantments that tap, Rosewater said somewhere that it's something they didn't like and probably we won't see again.

Subject16: The IIW asked specifically for Enchantment Lands! Cascade is also risky at low costs as this. Repeatable cascade from t3 also doesn't seem something balanced.

barbecube: According to Panglacial Wurm, you could have totally made this playable from your library, without the exiling. Said this, although I like the idea, I feel that it's too good without spending any kind of resources. Furthermore, unless it's a cycle, black doesn't seem the right color for something like this.

Legend: The IIW asked specifically for Enchantment Lands! Said this, the card seems so good and fun (and bad!) in limited!

Mergatroid_Jones: Is this some kind of support for an homemade Armageddon? I don't really like the card as is it, since it does something that really doesn't impact the game nor justifies itself while doing so.

wonderful: The IIW asked specifically for Enchantment Lands! Fine common card.

The challenge was not easy, but I found the entries overall weak. Best card is probably mellifluoresce's, with a HM to spacemonaut and Stapler

IIW: Design a card that Craig Wescoe would love to play

Ardenvale Battalion 2W

First strike
Adamant - When Ardenvale Battalion enters the battlefield, if at least three white mana was spent to cast it, create a token that's a copy of it.
2/1

IIW: Eldraine mechanics

[wonderful]

The IIW asked for Land Enchantments, which I thought could be interpreted multiple ways, unlike Enchantment Lands.

Resistance Stronghold
Legendary Land (R)
Resistance Stronghold enters the battlefield tapped unless you control no other nonbasic lands.
T: Add R or W to your mana pool.
T: Add 2 to your mana pool. Spend this mana only to cast equipment cards, or to activate abilities of equipment.
