Today's Challenge:
More Forgotten Realms legends

.::To Enter::.
In a single post:

• Name exactly two other players to vote for their entries for the previous challenge. (In the event that there are two or fewer entries that you are allowed to vote for, you may vote for only one.)

• Make a card that fits the current challenge.

• Include an "If I Win" (IIW) for tomorrow's challenge if you win.

Each day we use the challenge of the previous day's winner. In the case of a tie, we'll use the IIW of the tied player who has least overall points. In case of a further tie, the IIW of the earlier poster will be used.

.::Scoring::. .::Note of the Day::.

Since this thread is out pretty late, tomorrow's edition will be posted several hours earlier than this.

High Theocrat Teysa Karlov 2WUB
Legendary Creature - Human Advisor (M)
Whenever a creature attacks you or a planeswalker you control, put a -1/-1 counter on that creature.
Whenever a creature an opponent controls dies, that player mills a card for each -1/-1 counter on that creature.
Whenever a creature card is put into an opponent's graveyard from anywhere, create a 1/1 white Spirit creature token with flying.
With the Azorius leadership in disarray and her connections with House Dimir, little stood in the way of Teysa's consolidation of political power.
3/4

For now, no card from me today. I don't know the Forgotten Realms well enough to do this. I could look them up, and maybe I will, or maybe not, but I'm afraid I can't make them justice anyway. We'll see.
