Atroidus, Unbound Existence – 9
Legendary Creature – Shapeshifter (M)
Changeling
As ~ enters the battlefield, choose a creature type.
Activated abilities of creatures of that creature type cost cwubrg less to activate. This effect reduces only the amount of colored and colorless mana you pay.
Whenever you activate or trigger an ability of an ability of a creature of the chosen type, you may pay 1. If you do, copy it and you may choose new targets for the copy.
7/7
IIW: Mass edicts

My instincts say "no way." But it does cost nine. Please know that this *will* enable infinite combos if it enters the battlefield (perhaps fewer than one might expect at first blush, but there are plenty even when we consider the creature type restriction). I might consider restricting the reduction in some way to avoid the degeneracy, since I doubt most opponents will have fun when this shows up.

Mistform Ultimaximus 3U
Legendary Creature - Shapeshifter (M)

For each ability on another permanent you control, if that ability refers to a single non-shapeshifter creature type, Mistform Ultimaximus has that ability, except it refers to shapeshifters instead.
3/3

iiW:Wii

I'm sure there's a reason you wouldn't want to keep the ability using the same creature type (Ezuri, Renegade Leader was the first thing that came to mind, though this is really only valuable with tap abilities). We're in Acorn territory here, regardless.

I like this, I think. There's enough weakpoints here that it's not just a 1-mana rampant growth. Needs playtesting, I suppose, but if it's closer to Llanowar Elves it's probably OK. Though, wait, they don't print that guy anymore, right?

Lots of new keywords and jargon here. Is the use of Simple just to save space on the two activated abilities it grants? I like the potential implications for Biomorphic in a tribal set. If changelings are largely restricted to these 1/1 tokens... Could be fun to balance that.

I forgot until now that my prompt was shapeshifters. I almost asked why we had so much changeling... been distracted by moving. Anyway, I think the Imp could get buffed a bit. Velis... I wish this did something other than cascade + drawing cards. That's SO MUCH card advantage that I think you snowball after the first time you trigger it.

"fixed" Fractured Identity here is interesting. It does generate a puzzle: How often do you get value out of that equip ability? Your next two cards help solve that puzzle. I have to talk about Shapestealer's flavor. An artifact creature with soulshift? Interesting stuff here. Valley is of course a ton of power on a land. Both make cards with the names of your opponents creatures that you can then imprison. Fun.

Judging once I get home in a few hours. Get those last entries in.

The key to making a good non-broken partner is to make half a card. Let's see how many halves each entry actually is.

Not sure if mono-white or mono-green are words that card work in the rules (it just says monocolored and multicolored), but for this I'd just assume yes. These feel like a fairer Pako and Haldan, with more focus on the Haldan side if partnered together. Valesh feels like it could just be a weird standalone lieutenant, in that it both feels like it doesn't do much and yet still too much to be "half a card". Serala seems like the more balanced of the two, but I swear that ability is red.

Sziverett leans into its partner status hard. That being said, it does feel like half a card, even with ping attached to its rummaging. The Kazara Kudzu plays a very dangerous line in reanimation/casting from the command zone (flavor win for kudzu representation), so I hope that once each turn line holds it back enough. If it wasn't for the base cost, I could see it as its own card without partner.

Oh look, two-color partners. Both do feel as the appropriate power as uncommon legends and partner legends. Tawris asks for the accompanying partner to either care about death triggers or creatures/lands in graveyards, but does feel like it needs a playtest check to see if that Treasure token needs to ETB tapped or not. Pelris is repeated removal, but feels like it'll be stronger in Limited than in most Commander games with the snowbally board presences across multiple players. It could be a standalone card, but not in Commander.

Welp, I finally did it.

24 hours without an entry.

The excitement of March of the Machine spoilers was simply too great.

So, I declare myself the winner!

Let's try something influenced by recent spoilers:

A tri-colored Legendary formed by two Legendaries teaming up (like Slimefoot and Squee)

Uhhhhhhhhh

I was developing:

Whenever you choose, gain 1 life (targets, votes, or effects that prompt you to choose.)

All right, I'm going over the top

Emrakul and Nicol Bolas UUCCCBBBRR
Legendary Creature - Eldrazi Elder Dragon (M)
Player (This creature is a player that takes turns after yours, and can't lose. You control its turns.)
When you cast Emrakul and Nicol Bolas, or it attacks, exile the top three cards from each player's library.
On its turns, Emrakul and Nicol Bolas may cast up to three cards exiled by itself, without paying their mana costs.
9/15

IIW: prime

Well that's different. Keep in mind it is a long weekend for a lot of people, so the forums are a little quiet overall

We needed an alternate prompt anyway, the previous clearly wasn't doing it.

To expedite this, instead of waiting for another 24 hours, I'll judge this after I wake up tomorrow, in around 12 hours.

I suppose I'll go less over the top

Sigarda and Emeria 1CGWW

When you cast this spell, permanents you control have hexproof and indestructible until the end of your next turn. (Including permanents that enter the battlefield after this is cast.)
