@BradXmagic To balance your card more, I would do the following!
Put target creature card with converted mana cost equal to the number of lands you control from your hand onto the battlefield tapped. It's an illusion in addition to it's other types and has "Whenever this creature becomes the target of a spell or ability, sacrifice it."
Hmm, though there is a slight disconnect with either of those in pumping up a creature that has skulk. Like if you cast Thoughtseize before you attack the skulk ability becomes potentially less relevant whereas with Prowess and Dread together it gets +2/+2.
I made a commander that I want to work using Gold tokens, feedback would be appreciated.
@modnation675 I really like the card, the only thing about it is that it's a shaman and a warrior. When I think of a shaman, I think of healing/recursion or buffing your own creatures. I don't think of a warrior fighting.
@modnation675 Thanks for the feedback! And I had no idea that there were such creatures already existing in the world of MTG.
@Sanjay666 I like them, but on Belial, the text should read
"Whenever a player casts a spell, that player gains life equal to that spell's converted mana cost. Then each other player that did not gain life this way, loses that much life."
I think.
What do you guys think about this? I had an idea that I thought was cool. Also, the flavor text is awesome.
I can't think of a WotC card that has a similar effect so I'm not really sure on the correct wording, though I might go for something like: "Whenever you cast an instant or sorcery spell [from your hand], counter that spell and you gain 3 life."
The bit in brackets is just if you were intending flashback spells etc. to still act as normal.

Yes.
From where? You need to specify.
Put target creature card with converted
mana cost equal to the number of lands you
control from your hand onto the
battlefield tapped.
I feel so stupid right now, how could I forget?
Don't feel stupid! Then I'll have to feel stupid for the millions of simpler mistakes I've made! XD

It also suits the theme of the card!
Quick question - does anyone think this is under-costed, over-costed, just right? I've put some musings in the comments.
Thanks!
I think it feels kinda lackluster in terms of uniqueness and strength
bring it down to {u}{b}?
Edit: Preference is Skulk/Dread

I've brought it down to {u}{b} for now.
Is this worded right? I think it is but I'm not positive.
If you haven't seen the set, go check it out! It's really cool!
I really hope this one does well as there aren't enough cards that have effects of this nature!

Thanks for the major help on recent cards everyone! I really appreciate it.
Balancing on these two dimir mythic rares? Fair? Which one would you prefer for e.g. a custom cube? Thanks in advance!
Does the last strike and low toughness make up for his buff abilities?

Hope this card is designed properly! I've been making cards that support Commander and the enchantment archetype lately.

Edit: Shaman Warriors exist in rare cases!

Also I'm leaving feedback on your card shortly, since it is weak and as such unplayable. I understand you ran out of card space though!

too strong? easy to break? hard to balance this sort of thing.
