  • I remember Relicbind and making couple cards for that. Shame it’s only new cards.
  • Oh, I totally forgot about this mechanic of mine o_O. Nice to find it here.
  • @Corwinnn Oh great. I already used the name "Lurking Atrociraptor" in a past challenge. I guess I will have to call this one "Dwelling Atrociraptor" just to confuse people.

    (I hope at least someone gets the joke XD)

  • Oh hey, one of my mechanics made it into this challenge! That's neat. Maybe I'll have to enter something "new" lol

    Rulings
    If you play an instant or sorcery spell face-down and activate the Lurk ability, the card is permanently exiled.

    If you play a noncreature artifact or enchantment face down and activate the Lurk ability, I believe it will still come back from exile, but it won't be tapped and attacking.

    A creature entering the battlefield from exile whilst lurking will cause Enter the Battlefield abilities to trigger. Cast triggers and turned face up triggers will not.

  • Man, I really wanted to make a cycling recycler. I guess everyone else had the same idea XD

    If i could get some formatting help to make my cards pictures with clickable links, I'd appreciate it.

    His contemplation upon the world and himself allows him to see all, including danger. I felt the card was better without flavour text. It's more understated this way.

    @Corwinnn @Cryptonight @Cyborgskeleton I was going to make a Relicbind card, but I don't love the way the mechanic is worded. I think it should read:

    Relicbind [cost] ([cost], Exile this card from your hand: When target noncreature artifact is put into a graveyard from the battlefield, put this card from exile onto the battlefield under that artifact's controller's control.)

    Right now, the mechanic only works if someone actually destroys the artifact with a spell or ability. With my wording, it also works if you sacrifice the artifact. This allows for more fun and interesting gameplay in my opinion, since it allows you to build your deck around the relicbind card for value rather than having it be a burden (i.e. having to mainboard artifact destruction just to cast relicbind things.)

    Should make for some fun interactions. Entry 2.
