IIW: A card that would win internet points

[spacemonaut]

Cythare (Legion War Tank) — Lovely war tank. I love the battlecry and the flicker. It's a little cheaty, but it's a good amount of cheaty. The flickered creatures can get the battlecry bonus if you order the triggers correctly, which is good.

ForestsCarl (Bladehoop of Fugue) — Very on-color for Rakdos, and some shiny anti-planeswalker control.

chetoos (Adaptation Chamber) — Unclear if I choose once for each or once for all of them, somehow feels like it should be costlier. Good concept.

barbecube (Interrogation Well) — That's some absolutely delicious flavour and a great control effect.

void_nothing (Robe of Convergence) — I see what you did there. Nice function! It wants you to play mostly creatures and lands despite not being one itself, and that's OK.

Subject16 (Teller's Alms) — Interesting rhystic bribery. I feel like it could fall a little flat, since my correct move might be to do nothing with those treasures until either the lifedrain won't matter or until I find some spot removal.


winner: barbecube
HM Cythare.
Honestly you both won but I can only pick one, and it came down to which IIW I wanted to see next the most.

Great job everyone.

Growth From the Unreal 2g
Enchantment (R)
Enchantments you control have "t: Add G"

IIW: Top down design of an object you can see.

[barbecube]

I was hoping for some new mechanics, but I didn't specify, so that's on me.

spacemonaut: Starfallen Goliath is a pretty nice, straightforward Constellation design. I like Constellation being pulled into red a little more.
Subject16: Denouncer of the Gods feels more complex than it needs to be, somehow, and I'm not sure I'm a big fan of the flavor here; in THS I think the gods-enchantments association is strong enough that an enchantment regrower needs to be on their side instead of against it.
mellifluorescence: Ancestral Enchantress is an interesting answer to Aura card disadvantage. I kind of wish it were blue instead of green, but I think in the end you made the right choice here.
void_nothing: Fractal Enchanting, I think this could cost less! I'm trying to find the broken combo here and I'm not seeing it, but I suspect it does exist?
TacticalCelebrant: Growth From the Unreal makes me the happiest because tapping enchantments.

Winner: TacticalCelebrant!

New challenge:
Top-down design of an object you can see.

Welcome, and thank you for choosing Nexus Escape Rooms. This room is based on the world famous Flamingo Club. As you know, the club's founder was very mysterious, and known for their love of puzzles. Rumor has it, they hid a vast treasure somewhere in this club. When the timer starts, you may start looking through the room to find clues to solve the puzzles and find Meggido's Fortune! Just a few rules before we begin. You have 1 hour to solve the puzzles. The timer will be displayed on this monitor. You may leave at any time, but if time you spend outside the room will not be added to the timer. You do not need to break or remove anything to solve the puzzles. Any questions? No? Okay. The timer will start in one minute. Good luck and have fun!

Oh, hey guys, I think I found a clue. It looks like this book has a few pages where someone took a marker and blacked out all the letters except for one. Has anyone found a padlock with a letter entry code yet?

Scholar's Cookbook 2B
Artifact — Equipment (Uncommon)
Equipped creature has "T: Create a Food token." (Its an artifact with "2, T, Sacrifice this artifact: You gain 3 life."
Equip 2

Iiw: Bird tribal

(This looks like a fairly decent card. I haven't played too much with Food tokens yet, so I don't know the balance of them too well, but this doesn't look like it has any problems. I like the flavor of a cookbook that makes food tokens. I don't see any reason this needs black mana. It could totally be a colorless artifact, in my opinion.)


Hmm. This bobblehead dosen't bobble. It looks like there's something stuck in there. Hold on. let me see if I can fish it out. Ah, got it. It looks like a battery? Huh. Well, let's keep an eye out for anything that needs a battery.

Bobble-Head Jace 2U
Legendary Artifact (R)
t: Scry 2.
Whenever one or more creatures attack a planeswalker you control, you may sacrifice Bobble-Head Jace. If you do, remove all creatures attacking planeswalkers you control from combat. (They don't untap.)

IIW: A rare monowhite creature (not mythic rare).

(Huh, some sort of Crystal Ball with some sort of blue planeswalker only Fog attached? It's neat. Though, I'm not sure how a bobblehead fogs. Also, I could see this getting very annoying in certain control decks.)


Check it out, these curry jars on the spice rack are empty, and there are numbers on the bottom. I think that keypad lock on the trunk said something about spicy. Let's arrange these in order of spiciness and see if that's the combination.

Energizing Curry 1
Artifact — Food
3, T, Sacrifice Red-Hot Curry: You gain 3 life.
1RW, T, Sacrifice Red-Hot Curry: Creatures you control get +1/+0 and gain first strike until end of turn.

(Heh, this reminds me of that hot curry item you can get in super smash bros. Not super exciting mechanically, but very solid top down design. But please remember to include your IIW.)

Guys, the letter combination worked! I've got the closet open. There's a bunch of jeans in here. I'm gonna go through the pockets. Aha! I found another battery. It must be the other battery we need for the garage door opener we found.

My Jeans URW
Artifact (R)
Equipped creature has "T: Create a 1/1 white Human Child creature token.
Whenever a creature enters the battlefield, equipped creature deals 1 damage to each creature.
Equip 2
As worn by Jenna Rose

IIW: verse counters

(So it looks like the token you get from the tap ability dies right away from the triggered ability, so it really kinda translates to "t: deal 1 damage to each creature." Not that that's a bad thing. I personally really like creating creature tokens whose purpose is to trigger other abilities. The static ability is also pretty neat. There's certainly potential to build around this card. I do not get the reference that this is making. I googled Jenna Rose, and it looks like a High School Musical thing. I don't have enough time to look any further.)

Congratulations! Looks like you solved the escape room in just under an hour! No, you don't get to keep the treasure, but as I'm sure you've learned, the real treasure is the friendship you made along the way. Also the "Legend of Megiddo's Treasure" T-shirts you can purchase in the lobby. Thank you for playing and make sure to come back soon. Here is your prize:
