Alright, commencing judgment... And done

JuanCu
Thorn: This is rather crazy. No protections, but very difficult to profitably block. Even so, it's probably still shockingly reasonable, just quite good. The fight synergy seems unnecessary and potentially a break in the absence of red.
Definitely-not-Jimminy: I only really have problem with this because it's hybrid. Monogreen it's fine, though flat scrying is a bit weird. Monoblue, the mana generation and especially the lifegain is a bit suspect. That and if you think about it, he's more people than animal.


Mergatroid_Jones
Momu: A fixed Great Whale I see, plus some extra. Not the most exciting thing, but it does offer some inevitability.
Jambi: Cute story in a card A mana dork that can replace itself with decent value is always welcome.
Shaynee: Poor Jackal Pup. Sad thing is, in this day and age, a better Jackal Pup might not even be all that playable compared to the 1 drops red gets now
Thraxodes: New partners are always kind of risky, especially one that can make the other significantly harder to deal with. I like the concept, just without partner.
Tooth: A recurring deathtoucher is certainly annoying to deal with, especially one that can bring an extra (if small) body. The cost is at least reasonably high.

Wojtek: This is cute, and decently useful without being over...bearing

The Great Cookie War 1GR
Enchantment - Saga (R)
I) Each player creates two Food tokens
II) Each player may sacrifice an artifact. For each player that does, The Great Cookie War deals 3 damage to that player's choice of a creature, player or planeswalker.
III) Target artifact you control becomes a 4/4 artifact creature, and is a construct in addition to its types.

Aetherchar 2BR
Sorcery (R)
Destroy all artifacts and Aetherborn.
Remove all counters from each permanent and each player loses all E. Aetherchar deals damage to each player equal to the amount of E they lost this way and to each creature equal to the amount of counters removed from them.
Thus did the industrial revolution spurred by the brother's die, and Kaladesh would never know its like again.

Sunder the Sun R
Sorcery (C)
Destroy target artifact. If that artifact was legendary, Sunder the Sun deals 3 damage to that permanent's controller.
Mishra knew the only way to prevent his brother from using the Immortal Sun against him was to break it. The result was devastating. But Mishra rose from the wreckage, his spark awakened.
{Story Spotlight}

Urza's Alliance 3GG
Sorcery (U)
Create a 1/1 blue and green Merfolk creature token with hexproof, a 2/1 red and white Human Warrior creature token, and a 3/3 green Dinosaur creature token with trample.
Urza's words were reasonable, and his warnings were true. But his motives were never to help anyone but himself.
{story spotlight}

Mishra's Alliance 2R
Sorcery (C)
Create two 1/1 red Pirate creature tokens. If RBW was spent to cast this spell, instead create two 1/1 black and white Vampire creature tokens with flying and lifelink.
Creatures you control gain haste until end of turn.
By a sum untold, and in a single day, Mishra turned every ship on the sea into a mercenary army. The Legion of Dusk he bought for free with a few pretty words. Or so he thought.

Got a full Greek tragedy this time.

Portended Arrival 1U
Instant (C)
Scry 1
Draw a card.
The next creature or enchantment spell you cast this turn may be cast as though it had flash.
The brothers had auspicious births. Urza was favored of Kruphix and Mishra was favored of Purphoros. All rejoiced, for great deeds would be done by these brothers.


Urza's Betrayal 3BB
Instant (C)
Destroy target creature or planeswalker.
Reveal the top card of your library and put it into your hand. You lose life equal to that card's mana value.
Urza murdered his brother with careful forethought and exquisite care. Within four years, he was king in Meletis and victorious in war with the Setessans. He held personal council with Kruphix and Iroas in the temples he built. His wealth was immeasurable and his power seemed invincible.

Mishra Tricks the Death God 3BB
Enchantment- Saga (R)
I: Each player chooses a creature card in their graveyard and returns it to the battlefield with an indestructible counter on it.
II: Each opponent loses 4 life, and you gain 4 life.
III: Remove all counters from all creatures and planeswalkers. Each non-God creature gets -3/-3 until end of turn.

Mishra's Hoplite 2R
Creature- Zombie Soldier (C)
First Strike, Trample
With Erebos bound in his domain, thousands of dead marched onto Theros. In the destructive wake of Kroxa and Uro marched Mishra, commander of all by virtue of the whip. He knew he must accomplish his revenge before Erebos was freed from the bonds Purphoros made him.
4/1

Urza, The Blinded Seer 2U
Legendary Creature- Human Wizard (U)
Flash, Defender
When Urza enters the battlefield, scry X where X is the number of creatures that died this turn. Then draw a card.
After Erebos reclaimed Mishra and the returned, Urza's city lay in ruins. His army, his wife and five sons all lay dead. His eyes and tongue were taken from him. Only the visions of Kruphix remained. He wandered in this way for twenty-three years before Klothys granted him death.
1/4

Ruined Meditation 1RR
Sorcery
Each opponent draws 2 cards. Ruined Meditation deals 2 damage to each player for each card in that player's hand.

Urza, Imperial Artificer 1WW
Legendary Creature — Human Artificer {R}
When Urza, Imperial Artificer enters the battlefield, exile target creature an opponent controls until Urza leaves the battlefield.

I didn't have a design ready to go! It took me two days to come up with a Banisher Priest variant! I was going to start the design/brainstorm process and see where I landed.

How about this: I'll include that counterpart card when I judge this challenge.

If prototype isn't interesting to people (zero entries all day suggests it might be), how about something you want to see in the upcoming phyrexia set?

Avatar of Heliod's Mercy 4WW
Enchantment Creature — Avatar (M)
Prototype 1WW — 1/1 (You may cast this spell with different mana cost, color, and size. It keeps its abilities and types.)
Other enchantment creatures you control get +X/+X, where X is Avatar of Heliod's Mercy's base power.
3/3

Note: I specifically set it to base power, which is less fun but also solves layers shenanigans.

Momentum Machine 5
Artifact — Vehicle (U)
Prototype 1G — 2/2
Haste
Whenever Momentum Machine attacks, put a +1/+1 counter on it.
Crew X, where X is half of Momentum Machine's power, rounded down.
