Hah! This is a clever little trick, the idea is to boast after blockers are declared and get a massive chunk of damage through. Rarity would probably be heavily dependent on how many other merfolk are in this set, as this potentially be very powerful.

Winner:

This prompt turned out to be a lot more difficult than I initially thought, since something like a Hippo Rogue doesn't count because a Hippo isn't a magical creature.

KTK is out on Arena, and I suggest you all to check out the new Rakshasa art! Don't forget the sorceries that depict Rakshasa too, Rakshasa's Secret and Villanous Wealth

Now, let's get to it.

Impressive black dragon from Eragon! Almost plays like a morph creature, like Liege of the Pit, but more potent. Funny having a Dragon wall as a Commander.

Also, I didn't know this series was so weird. Dragon flash drives?

Interesting! Telepathically-linked Dragon twins, now I'm honestly wondering whether the whole Ugin-Bolas thing wasn't at least partially inspired by these two.

Quite good as is, but I wonder if it could be a candidate for a meld card, given that the two were mistaken for one very speedy black dragon. I also would have liked it if Waervaerendor also received a boon from having his brother in play.

Indeed it has, with the Western tradition of mass dinosaur murder skyrocketing at around this time, I guess people have been too busy chasing down their Tyrannosaurus butterballus.

Such a hefty four-drop with a powerful effect. My only gripe is the name "Incendiary," although perhaps you meant in the figurative sense rather than literal.

This thread is so down from where it was. Yikes. I'll wait until @Ulka actually posts the judgements, to give people more time to make an entry if they want to.
