I like the idea of Simic's mechanic in the next full Rav set being mutate, that's fun.

But yeah I'm gonna enter

Unbreakable Thundertusk 3WW
Creature - Elephant (M)
Trample, ward 4
Whenever Unbreakable Thundertusk deals combat damage to a player, untap each nonland permanent you control. Then, for each creature you control with outlast, add mana equal to that creature's outlast cost. Until end of turn, you don't lose this mana as steps and phases end.
1{G/W}{W/B}: Exile target creature blocking Unbreakable Thundertusk.
4/5

IIW: Red +0/+N (Stonehands, Earth Servant, etc.)

Useful terminology, I like it. Like "commits a crime" it's a good term for something that ought to be codified.

Interesting mechanical battle with this creature, where if you want to destroy artifacts, you have to know how you can assign trample damage.

If characters only mentioned in the games are up for adapting, I'd love to do an actual alexander hamilton card.

I don't see why not, but the problem would be connecting it to the characters already in the game.

TBF, the prompt is for the real life peeps that are in the games, so you've got Caesar, Socrates, Charles Dickens, mary read, etc.

Yeah but they're fictionalised versions playing different roles from their real life counterparts. Leonardo da Vinci to us is a famous painter and engineer and polymath, but in Assassin's Creed he's specifically the guy making assassination gadgets and weaponry for Ezio. Is Charles Dickens a humble author or is he actually secretly a templar commanding an army of thousands and conspiring to demolish a public building? I don't really know.

I do know about the apple though and I have seen what the spear does in my friend's stream of the game.

Good point. My card is mostly just a pirate lord, with the activated ability to reference his fuse trick

I like that Ben Franklin's famous artifacts both show off who he is, as well as fuel his last ability. I keep imagining the Precursor box he opened in Rogue as that last ability.

This one leans into Blackbeard's theatrics, and it works well. The Assassinate ability feels a bit off without a nearby Edward Kenway, but it makes some amount of sense.

IIW: Speculation for Bloomburrow, Outlaws of Thunder Junction, or Dusmourn: House of Horror

These are sorta based on real-life items (I guess?), so I'll accept them. Interesting choice of abilities for the does-way-too-much Spear, but it does look about as useful. The Apple also looks generic, but does reference the influence of the Apple on others surprisingly well. The actual Apple card(s) might have a wincon on it too.

IIW: Signal post cards for Parley

Simple and direct, like Blackbeard above. A lot more on the real-life side, but I have no idea how to put his encounter with Altaïr outside of a forced fight mechanic that wouldn't work all too well for the character.

HM: spacemonaut for Apple of Eden

I will also accept Godzilla and dracula cards for this

[void_nothing]

I have a lot of these in mind. From LOTR:

Grimbeorn the Old 2GGW
Legendary Creature - Human Berserker (R)
Lifelink
Creatures you control have "XGG: Until end of turn, this creature gets +X/+X, gains trample, and becomes a Bear. X is this creature's power. Activate only once per turn."
As long as Grimbeorn attacked this turn, activated abilities of creatures you control cost 4 less to activate. This effect can't reduce the mana in that cost to less than one mana.
4/3

IIW: Liliana's contract demons

[lookingupanddown]

Elladan and Elrohir 2GG
Legendary Creature - Elf Scout (Rare)
Menace
Whenever Elladan and Elrohir attacks, legendary creature spells you cast cost 2 less to cast until end of turn.

3/3

Oswin Converted 2UU

3/3

Joshua Graham, The Burned Man 3WW
Legendary Creature - Human Cleric Soldier (Rare)

Way of the Canaanite — Other creatures you control get +1/+1 and lose first strike.
At the beginning of your end step, for each creature you control that died this turn, destroy target tapped creature you don't control.

IIW: Phantasmal _____

[Sporegorger_Dragon]

Jurassic Park 1 and 3:

Dennis Nedry, Disgruntled Programmer
2{U}{B}
Legendary Creature - Human Employee (R)
Dennis Nedry can't be blocked by artifact creatures or Walls
When Dennis Nedry enters the battlefield, look at the top two cards of target opponent's library. Exile one of them and put the other on the bottom of that library. You may play the exiled card for as long as it remains exiled, and you may spend mana as though it were mana of any color to cast that spell.
When Dennis Nedry dies, create a 3/2 black Dinosaur creature token with menace and "This creature can't block."
1/3


Ruthless Spinosaurus
4{U}{B}
Creature - Dinosaur (R)
At the beginning of your upkeep, surveil 1, then Ruthless Spinosaurus explores.
Landfall - Whenever a land enters the battlefield under your control, surveil 1, then Ruthless Spinosaurus explores.
