Harried Fence 2U
Creature - Human Fence (C)
T, Pursuit 3: Draw a card (To pursuit 3, tap creatures you control that entered the battlefield this turn with total power 3 or greater.)
2/3

IIW: unions

I will not lie: I wish this only let you tap one creature. Partially because if you're putting multiple creatures into play on the same turn you are probably doing fine and don't need to get additional benefit. But it's mostly just cleaner to say "tap a creature that entered the battlefield under your control this turn with power 3 or greater" I think. I think on balance this ability is probably harder to use than it looks.

Reckoning 5RR
Sorcery (R)
All lands and artifacts in play are destroyed.

Faulty Summoning U

IIW: Alternate history: Planeswalkers and battles were added to the game back in 1999 (Urza block and Mercadian Masques era)

I'm sorry but I simply cannot judge all of those tonight. I'll look at the two you left above the spoiler. Big price premium from Armageddon up to Reckoning here, though I think it makes sense (especially considering how it prevents one from surviving with mana rocks!). Good. I actually like Faulty Summoning. It feels like the kind of "we are making the rules up on a card by card basis" that Alpha was full of. I'm not up on the rules and such from 1993 but as long as I can think of, nonpermanents can't exist on the battlefield. My question is essentially whether the 1993 design team would have had that issue and changed this (tokens did exist in alpha, after all) or gone with it because of the rule of cool. I don't know!

Based on your preamble (which I trimmed for space, as always, but I do read everything you guys post when I judge!), I am thinking that you wanted these to be boring. If so, you succeeded. I have nothing material to say about any of this. Good job, execs!

Super Secret Tech kind of blew my mind back in the day. Remember when stuff like that was the domain of un-sets? Secret cards with special treatments? Anyway, this is funny. I'd hope that this is itself a serialized card. It would be fun if only 500 of them existed. .... Oof, ok, the execs are starting to get into my head. I have to move on now.

IIW: Design an Ante card to be used in a cube environment where the anted cards go into the winning players draft pile

Confession: When I made my IIW I forgot that the words "limited edition" have a *very* specific meaning to Magic players (that being Limited Editions Alpha and Beta, obviously). I wasn't expecting to look at an ante card today. But, here we are. Given that this is a completely playable card and not some abomination that takes five minutes to read just to figure out that it does nothing, I have to disqualify this card. Good IIW though.

(this would replace Karona, False God's slot in Scourge, hence the color identity. Rare because we didn't have mythics yet. No "legendary" because it took them *ten years* to do that IRL. So we still have the "planeswalker rule" a short 4 years after the card type was introduced in this alternate history. We assume everything else is the same. I am using current Oracle wording though for sanity.)

I'm glad somebody tried the weird planeswalker thing. the power level feels pretty on point for the era, though it's certainly stronger than Karona. It would mostly just be used in the tribal Overrun mode.

IIW: Innovative stuff with Blood tokens

While I got it without the reminder text, I'm never against clarifying that sort of thing. Minotaur has become a sort of "let's try something weird and powerful" tribe. The tribe's super limited and barely supported, but then there are things like Didgeridoo and Deathbellow War Cry. But you have to cast this for the effect, so it's not even bonkers with those.

I like how weirdly super-powered, and yet weirdly bad this is.

(googles batholith)

So it isn't a basilisk with a basilisp. Also, this card's kinda nuts. I don't like that it's fetchable, and I think it shouldn't be a mountain at all. Yes, that means it auto-dies if you have no other mountains, but I'm fine with that since it's free. I don't think it's overpowered, since it dies to everything and loses you a land when it does. But still a little over the top for a land creature.

This is definitely the most innovative of these cards! I guess it's a little odd this doesn't have the "actual" Blood ability but the death trigger is close enough to it. I guess you could abuse that last triggered ability, but that's part of the fun, and you'd have to get creative with it.

Bloodletter Poet feels like a Crimson Vow card. Water with Blood is really interesting, what with the type adding a la Life and Limb! Bloodfire Sorcerer feels like it needs an "up to one" clause in there. Is Blood Regurgitator supposed to be a video game reference, with the alternate name? Scum Leech is fine, cute useful common. Apart from Water with Blood, though, nothing piques my interest here.

I really like white Innistrad Vampires and this feels about on point. Might be a little pushed for its level of utility combined with being a 3/1 for 1W, but this does make and use Blood tokens in a monowhite-feeling way and the flavor ties it together. I might move this up to rare, but otherwise, great!

Hey, that's what made the original Innistrad vampires! Nice! This is pretty good insofar as it self-replaces; I don't think it's too efficient for common in Limited, especially since it's either 3, Discard a card: Draw two cards or 3, Put a +1/+1 counter and draw a card.

I'm really not sure what this is supposed to be doing - is it cheap card filtering with a drawback or is it a Blood hoser? Is it both? This is a small enough context that removing poison counters is OK I think. Still, not much of a drawback when the cure for said drawback is "continue to use the card."

Yes, very droll. Mrs. Lovett Suet's Blood-into-Food ability is obviously super flavorful - I guess I don't see why Mrs. Suet can willingly cook herself but not tokens?

I envisioned the Innistrad version of Benjamin Barker as being banished/exiled from a city to a more rural area, but I guess you're right.
