The Impossible Challenge: Making a Vanilla Creature

strongbelieves

Huh. Defender and first strike have been together plenty but apparently not defender and double strike. That's pretty strange since it has been keyworded forever now...

Flavor text, you say? Ask and ye shall receive.

And a French Vanilla entry:

@Bellycuss
Can we use non-vanilla keywords? If not, what is the extent of vanilla keywords? ... as I'm interested in uploaded something similar to the following!

Bellycuss

Protection is a vanilla keyword, in fact it was once evergreen! So yes it is viable.

modnation675

Okay, thanks I got the idea now then!

Animist

I can't think of any flavour text at the moment for a vanilla vanilla but here's a couple of French vanillas

modnation675

@Animist @Bellycuss
Are you sure those count as French Vanilla? Does French Vanilla allow keywords such as Painborn and Promote?

They aren't printed in MTG so I'm assuming it's not! (That's what seemed to be implied by Bellycuss' comment!)

Animist

@modnation675

@Bellycuss said "It can be any keyword! Wether or not it's real!" so I'm assuming that includes custom keywords. If not, I'll take them down.

modnation675

@Animist
Yeah, you're right! I didn't notice that comment.
Thanks for keeping thy in line!

Here's my entry, kinda like the card from the set Born of the Gods: Charging Badger, that card was awesome, so i made my own twist on it. surely the cutest is the bestest?

I bring to you: FORAGING CHIPMUNK!!!!!!!!

*applause*

Good luck everyone!!

I know its not anything special, but I'd rather have good flavour text and a normal, non-OP card which could be available in boosters if it wasn't too cute.

Wouldn't protection from you stop you from being able to attack and block with him? Not to mention target him with pump spells or equipments

@animist
Goddamnitanyways animist. I thought I was in good running. Then you had to post Shura.

It's so good.

Death_Methods

So this would not include stuff like landfall and inspired right?

Animist

@Death_Methods

I believe that's correct. It would need to be a keyword ability as opposed to an ability word. Basically, if the word is italicised then it's not a keyword, so stuff like morbid, hellbent, landfall and inspired which are all ability words.

Death_Methods

@Animist Cool beans.

Does this count as a French Vanilla creature?

@gelectrode I'm not sure what the ruling is on alternative costs.

modnation675

@dboe
You could still attack and block with him. But yes, you can't target him!

Edit: Sorry, I was sleeping up until 30 minutes ago!

modnation675

@Gelectrode @Bellycuss
Yes, it does as it is a keyworded ability!

Perhaps not evergreen, but never used together before.

Here are some French Vanilla Kroot creatures I made recently for my Warhammer 40k Set.

Does this count? I mean, attacking each turn if able is pretty much a keyword...
