I feel like that wouldn't satisfy the constraint of an actual custom card since I'd only be making a name at most, but I have to nominate Captivating Crew as William Riker, Diplomat.

I'm going to be at a baseball game today. if I don't end up dying, I'll judge when I get home.

W-what kind of baseball are you guys playing?! Are you the ball?!

[chetoos]

Stealing that read along idea

Simic Clades Joining 1gu
Enchantment - saga
Read along
| - put a +1/+1 counter on each of up to 2 creatures you control
|| - draw a card for each creature with a +1/+1 counter on it you control, then discard that many cards.
||| - You may pay any number of Ink counters. Target creature you control gets +x/+x and gains trample until end of turn, where x is the number of ink counters you paid.

Iiw: help green out in standard or alchemy

[Juancu]

Haha, I'm glad you liked it cheetos, I was still developing and made yours need an update. I went for energy-like counters, so there wouldn't be two kinds of counters on a saga.

[Megiddo]

I'm going to be at a baseball game today. if I don't end up dying, I'll judge when I get home.

luckily not today.

Instant
Politening Bolt deals 3 damage to any target. If the target was an opponent, or a permanent controlled by an opponent, that player may have Politening Bolt deal 3 damage to any target other than you or a permanent you control.

IIW: Do it yourself

[Megiddo]

my voice is gone but i'm otherwise alive. judging when the adrenaline high fades a bit

[Megiddo]

i'm sufficiently calmed down to judge. to be clear on what was going on earlier, i was watching this happen live and in person:


on to the cards. we'll be short and sweet tonight.

Steam Machine X1
Artifact Creature- Construct
Accomplice (As you cast this spell, you may choose another player as accomplice. That player may pay any amount of mana to add to X.)
Trample, Vigilance, First Strike
Steam Machine enters the battlefield with X +1/+1 counters. When it does, it fights another target creature not controlled by the accomplice. Then the accomplice gains puts a +1+1 counter on up to X target creatures.
0/1

IIW: All those mechanics they dropped: landwalk, regeneration, banding, etc.. Those are basic evergeen keywords i this world.

I believe this is largely Assist (see Gang Up in particular) with some added tracking of who assisted and bonuses for that player. I think this card is too strong?

Steam Mate 4
Artifact Creature — Construct Advisor (M)
When Steam Mate enters the battlefield, exile the top card of your library.
Whenever you exile a card from your library or at the beginning of your precombat main phase, you may play a card exiled with Steam Mate without paying its mana cost. Then exile the top card of your library. This ability triggers only once each turn.

IIW: Eldraine but modern day

Good pun. Not what we're looking for in this challenge though. Also, seems broken.

Azorious Rising 1WU
Enchantment - Saga
Read Along (As this Saga enters and after your draw step, add a lore counter. Sacrifice after III. Other players may trigger the current chapter after their draw step, if they do, you get an ink counter.)
I - Draw a card and gain 2 life.
II - Create a 2/2 blue drake creature token with flying.
III - You may spend four ink counters. If you do, draw two cards.

IIW: cold

I like Read Along conceptually. Would need to test and turn the knobs to make sure the payoffs work, but the Group Hug Guys out there would love it.

Simic Clades Joining 1gu
Enchantment - saga
Read along
| - put a +1/+1 counter on each of up to 2 creatures you control
|| - draw a card for each creature with a +1/+1 counter on it you control, then discard that many cards.
||| - You may pay any number of Ink counters. Target creature you control gets +x/+x and gains trample until end of turn, where x is the number of ink counters you paid.

Iiw: help green out in standard or alchemy

Ooh, how often do we see this in NF? I prefer this to the other because getting 3 ink counters and missing would feel so bad. Versus any number so you will be able to get some value. Knobs.

Politening Bolt RR
Instant
Politening Bolt deals 3 damage to any target. If the target was an opponent, or a permanent controlled by an opponent, that player may have Politening Bolt deal 3 damage to any target other than you or a permanent you control.

IIW: Do it yourself

Also a good pun. Chain Lightning for the modern age. My first reaction is that it's a bit wordy for what it does.

I liked both Read Along cards, but I have to go with juancu for creating the mechanic. I do like the refinement that chetoos did—that's the kind of stuff you need to do to find a great mechanic.

winner: juancu
next: cold
