@DragonFaceEater & @Bellycuss
You would have to ask Bellycuss as that would need to be an exception on his behalf!

Also, that card is OP! XD

@modnation675 Yeah, now that I think about it, the haste really just pushes it over the edge, but luckily, black isn't played too much in aggro, so I wouldn't be used too much. If it was in red, it would be a totally different story!

@DragonFaceEater
I could easily see it as a 2/1. But I agree to an extent!

@DragonFaceEater
Unfortunately it isn't viable... but, you could make "this creature attacks each turn if able" into a new keyword (and maybe lower the power)!

A little context on the flavor :it is a character amidst a so-called "Festival of Thieves", which I honestly thought to be very unlikely. On the comments, the contest that such a festival came from.

@KJMartin Cool hydra! I found an interesting theros synergy to!

Weird thing.

Well, I made a bear with a lot of flavor text.

While gameplay wise, this card might look bland, its true stength comes from its creature type, Programmable Bot. The set I have made this for features a mechanic called Program which is basically worded
Program: {effect} (Programmable Bots you control gain {effect}.)
The variety of effects Programmable Bots can gain from the program can make them a force to be reckoned with, turning even a simple bear into a potentially huge threat.

The flavor text itself gives a synopsis of the events that occurred to lead up to the story depicted within cards of this set.

Anyway, enjoy, thanks for hosting, and good luck to everyone else!

More French Vanilla

Does this count? A Shade tribal almost always has +1/+1 from black mana.

TenebrisNemo · January 2017

And some Plain Vanilla

@Balgeron
I'm afraid that's not vanilla. A French vanilla card has only keyword abilities. +1/+1 until end of turn for {b} isn't a keyword. I like the card though! I haven't seen many shades in a while!
