[spacemonaut]

Just in case: the faction leader or second in command doesn't have to be anyone here. Megiddo might merely be its founder of many generations ago—or mere hours ago, subsequently shanked and usurped of the leadership position, etc.

When the last counter is removed, that creature becomes nude. Creatures with no other permanents attached to them are also nude.)

Very fair design, but there's not much legendary about it. A faction leader / second-in-command should be splashy. You're representing the team here! Where's the exile ability for bancasting, for example?

The bespoke mechanic is A Lot and a bit confusing but it's neat. There's something kind of funny for me about this card: this card's four mechanical elements (caring about auras, caring about equipment equipment, granting vigilance, granting menace) are justifiably in color between its three colors, but it would also be completely in color if this card were only the other two colors instead (RW).

The One Who Judges WUBRG
Legendary Enchantment - Aura (M)

Enchanted creature gets +5/+5 and has protection from everything (except this).
If enchanted creature would die or your turn would last more than five minutes, attach The One Who Judges to a creature you don't control.

Brutal and very judgemental. I like it.

This is brilliant. I think we'd have to see Maro ruling whether or not bubblegum counts as a food.

IIW: You may flip a coin. If you do...

Powerful and shiny, but I don't think it's actually offering a dilemma, so the opponent would always make sure the top of the card is toward you.

Big If True. Love that Much Larger Dave exclusively wishes for oversized cards. You don't even need to reveal it to reveal that it's oversized. Great work.



NinjaCaterpie, mellifluoresce, and Megiddo had the most combined silver border & club flamingo leader energy. In the spirit of silver border, the winner has been determined between them via competing six-sided dice rolls.

As Fledging Megaloth enters the battlefield, it mutates. (It randomly gains an ability from its mutate list that it hasn't already gained this way.)

(The Crustacean Crusader was meant to be a sneak-based minigame like Entirely Normal Armchair and Cheatyface but I guess that's harder when it's, you know, a legend)

(The Crustacean Crusader was meant to be a sneak-based minigame like Entirely Normal Armchair and Cheatyface but I guess that's harder when it's, you know, a legend)

That makes sense, though it's missing the rules for how you're allowed to engage in that sneak-based minigame! Without that, the cheating isn't part of a minigame, it's just regular cheating.

[mellifluoresce]

Ivyskin Alpha 2GG
Creature - Plant Wolf (U)
Mutate (Whenever a creature that doesn't share a creature type with this creature enters the battlefield under your control, put a +1/+1 counter on this creature and it gains that creature's types.)
Whenever a +1/+1 counter is put on Ivyskin Alpha, you may have it fight target creature you don't control.
2/3

IIW: Horror lords

[Cythare]

Mutate: Pay a card's mutate cost and exile a creature card from your hand. Put a +1/+1 counter on the creature, and it gets any additional effects under the "Mutation" part of the exiled card's text (if applicable). You can mutate the same creature multiple times, but if a card cares about "mutated" creatures, it doesn't matter how many times a creature has mutated, only whether or not it has.

Note that I tried to make this an activated ability because the wording of Surgeon Commander implied that it's an action the player takes instead of something a creature does.

First-Flight Renegade 3WW
Creature - Archon (R)
Flying
Creatures your opponents control can't attack you unless they pay X for each of those creatures, where X is the number of mutated creatures you control.

Won't say it's not, but at the same time I relate. Really like a 3/4, although that was more back in the day. If I'm gonna make a creature big I often make it 6/6. And I like 2/1.
