I won't even mention formatting here... (Oops, I just did! Sorry!)
I like this card in general but I have a couple remarks. One is there is no reminder of any kind to mark which lands have become Swamps, which could generate memory issues. Just putting some kind of counter on the land would have been enough. The other remark is that there is an ambiguity in the very last sentence: what gets exiled? The land that has been turned into a Swamp, which would actually exile ALL lands that this has turned into Swamps (I really hope this is not a case, it's just mass land destruction, which I personally hate as a player and I think a lot of other players would also agree), or the Mass itself (hopefully)? And also, if it's the latter (as I hope), the death trigger should have gone on a separate line.

Too many Quality mistakes, as they'd be called in the MCC: Missing rarity (which by itself it would already be enough for me not to vote for this card), name not bolded, subtypes not capitalized in the last ability (it should be "...deals damage to a Human, destroy that creature, then create a 2/2 black Zombie creature token"). Too bad, because this card is very flavorful and also quite interesting mechanically. I'm sorry.marioguy3 wrote: ↑4 years agoBarabar, Human Bloodseeker
Legendary Creature - Zombie Skeleton
Other black creatures you control get +1/+0 and gain lifelink.
Other red creatures you control get +1/+0 and gain first strike.
Whenever Barabar, Human Bloodseeker deals damage to a human, destroy that creature, then create a 2/2 black zombie creature token.

Now this is very interesting. I see I haven't been the only one to choose to take a risk this round. If I did green Vampires, you did non-black Specters. And you also tried to explore new design space for white: temporary exile from hand. Let white get card advantage but only for a short time. Kinda like impulsive draw in red. I like the boldness of this design, and in my opinion this experiment is successful. I like it.netn10 wrote: ↑4 years agoThoughts Cleanser
Creature - Specter (Rare)
Flying
Whenever Thoughts Cleanser deals combat damage to a player, that player exiles two cards from their hand. At the end of that player's next turn, that player return the exiled cards to their hand.
The clerics of Ashenmoth willingly submit their minds to it in hope to be pure.

Big fan of the flavor, especially the flavor text. Less of a fan of the mechanics. I get that this is supposed to come from a set with Curses (probably Innistrad 3, also seeing the colors, UB Zombies are typical Innistrad material), but I think some players might be a little confused by the mention of "enchanted players" if they see this card before they see the Curses. This is actually the only problem I have with this card. I like all the rest.Raptorchan wrote: ↑4 years agoSpooky Visitor

Spooky Visitor can't be blocked by creatures controlled by enchanted players.
You have to learn the difference between being cursed, being damned and being doomed.

I get what this does, but it's a little too complex for my taste. At first, I thought "the last line could just be 'prevent all damage that would be dealt by Crooked Sommelier'", then I realized that it's functionally different in multiplayer. The Sommelier could attack a third player, and you would get the life. But in traditional duel that's still true. I'm not a big fan of this card overall. I'm sorry.barbecube wrote: ↑4 years agoCrooked Sommelier
Creature — Vampire (R)
When Crooked Sommelier enters the battlefield, target opponent gains control of it.
At the beginning of your upkeep, if you don't own Crooked Sommelier, put a +1/+1 counter on it.
Damage dealt by Crooked Sommelier also causes its owner to gain that much life.

This is just perfect. The only things I can mention is the lack of reminder text for the Food token, and that technically the word "put" should be capitalized in the activation cost, but I have absolutely no real problems with this card. In fact, it's by far my favorite in this bracket.Jimmy Groove wrote: ↑4 years agoFresh Cadaver
Creature - Zombie (U)
Fresh Cadaver is a Skeleton as long as there is a -1/-1 counter on it.
, put a -1/-1 counter on Fresh Cadaver: Create a Food token.
