I'm a big fan of Errol. but I feel like the Queen dragon should be her own character. Maybe have Errol search for her in the library? Like that old saying, 'Set a thief Set a deep hole with spring-loaded sides, tripwires, whirling knife blades driven by water power, broken glass and scorpions, to catch a thief.'

Too annoying in limited, but I'd love this in commander for enchantment/aura decks.

Obviously inspired by Duel Monsters, but I really like it. My only caveat is the 2/2 for 3, I'm big on changing that for future morphs, it's simply too anachronistic, too big of a hurdle to go through if one wants to be excited about playing a surprise for later.

I think opponents can be said to attack, but not deal combat damage (maybe I'm wrong.) Also, the ability would "trigger" rather than activate once per turn. Otherwise, I get it and I really like it. Well, I question using Gold though.

A reimplementation of the previous idea, with a neat twist. I do wonder about flavor, though? Is the captain giving the money? On one hand, he seems incompetent if he allows the thieving, but then investigates... mmm...

I reaaally hated Hornet Nest. Sure, the soldiers are a lot less powerfull than flier deathtouchers, and this is one use only, but still, with the cantripping, I wouldn't want to see this in my limited format. Maybe in commander, but then you wouldn't get attacked. Blasphemous Act in that case. Anyways, I'd prefer if this created, like 2 soldiers. It would still be good, and wouldn't turn big dumb attackers into defenders.

Note: There's something weird going on with the names of certain bosses after recent updates, so I'm going with slightly altered naming convention:


Blighted Miranda Blossom
3{B}{B}{G}
Legendary Creature - Plant (R)
Defender
When Blighted Miranda Blossom enters the battlefield, you may create The Forsaken Omenkiller, a legendary 4/4 black and green Warrior creature token with trample and wither.
At the beginning of your upkeep, choose one-
-Creatures target player controls get -1/-1 until end of turn.
-Each opponent loses 1 life.
4/6


Land Squirt
2{B}
Creature - Tunicate (U)
{B}, T: Target creature gets -3/-1 until end of turn. Its controller loses 1 life and mills three cards.
0/3


Blood-Tainted Excrement
2
Artifact
Sacrifice Blood-Tainted Excrement: Target player loses 1 life.
3, T, Sacrifice Blood-Tainted Excrement: It deals 3 damage to any target.
"Why are you carrying so much of this filth?! WHAT IS WRONG WITH YOU?!" -Morgott, The Omen King

Alternative flavor text (on the the alternate art version): "If it be true this is thine own, i suggest to thee thou dost seeketh a doctor, post-haste." -Ranni the Witch

IIW: A creature with a color in its name.

my original hot take when the first elden ring trailer dropped was that the game was a "knockoff of shadow of the colossus"

and so:

White-Tailed Lizard G
Creature - Lizard {C}
1G, Sacrifice White-Tailed Lizard: Put a +1/+1 counter on target creature and create a Food token.

sorry the last 24 hours went from study to other important things to a full on medical situation so uh I can't post judgements (I am ok / I will be ok)

edit i am now out of A&E so here's some judging

blighted miranda blossom: excellent treatment and i just learned about a boss fight i never encountered and i love that this is still a thing happening to me. total stats of 8/10 on two bodies with evasion and removal between them is a bit much for 6 mana, so at minimum i'd want to bring miranda flower down to a 2/3 or something.

land squirt: this squirts are not cute but this card is

blood-tainted excrement: the flavor text made me laugh out loud and this is not a bad rendition of those items at all

sorcery squirt: i never ran into these but i can believe it, raya lucaria has done worse things to crabs. this is pretty neat, though i'd want to make it a nonland permanent. i like that two of these can go back and forth.

antique circlet: is nice, i like that you can work to keep it up but eventually it will be broken. now that i revisit i think you ought to provide a way to pair them, but if this is in a soulbond-heavy set or something like that, that's OK.

magic but hole: a work of art honestly. i appreciate it, and the mechanical package is good, and novel, and pretty compelling. i'm not sure how playable it is but like one with nothing i'm gonna keep thinking about this one. in actual practice, maybe somehow an excellent drop with a single spare mana on a particularly aggressive W+ deck that plans to mostly empty its hand by the end of turn four?

white-tailed lizard: is very cute, i like this.





Winner is @Ulka for a novel use of cumulative upkeep that feels very on-theme for elden ring's narrative.
HM Juancu for magic but hole

Um, wow, glad you're okay.

The Miranda Blossom itself has defender, which is why the stats are like that, but I can see why you'd be a bit distracted at the time.

Take care of yourself!
