  • @modnation675 This one kind of counters both. Tell me if I need to add another one.

    That creature can only kill one of the creatures regardless of how it's blocked and targets. So yes, you need another card.

    Remember that the defending creatures will always block in a way that is preferable to you. Mainly for balance concerns.

    Ocknap enters as a copy of Soulclench, killing another creature. It flickers into Soulclench every turn, just in case another one came down.

    Cosmos Flair eliminates Marchesa before she can do anything, and then you get to keep a card due to her being 3 colors.

    Knight of Holy Sin immediately has protection from white, therefore, any amount of power Gideon's Avengers has doesn't matter. And he does a nice 6 damage to the face.

    Perplexing crab counters almost all of the defending cards, but I made him for Ajani's Pridemate. He is a 2/3, so in direct combat he will kill Pridemate. And if you gain life to try and buff him, he will get -1/-1 counters instead.

    Now, with all of these creatures dying, Deathbringer Thoctar will be a threat. Seraph of Purity wipes all counters off the board, setting back Thoctar to a 3/3, which she can then kill as a 4/4.

    This one may have been overkill, but it was fun. So it starts of by turning all of your lands into 3/3 Elementals with Haste. Two of them are untapped, so it's a guaranteed two Elementals.

    -Now you can choose a creature to become an Elemental if you want, I just made that as an addition to the last ability which doesn't really matter in this situation.-

    Now I can choose one of my Elementals to fight the defending Bane of Progress, which presumably has no counters on it, because it's ability couldn't have been triggered due to the lack of Enchantments and Artifacts. Now it's a 2/2, and my land Elemental can take it out by forcing a fight.
  • For my attack on Ukraine.
  • Are there any countries left?
  • @Opalfox
    Okay the attack was successful. But for future cards try to make them match the color identity and so forth.
  • @SpiritDragon
    Yes, there are. You may have Bulgaria, which requires 3 defenders.
  • @brainifyer
    The attack is successful. The Netherlands are yours.
  • @modnation675
    Do you mean I have to match their defending cards colors?
    And my attacking cards are now the defenders of Ukraine right?
  • edited June 2017
    No, they have to defeat the cards similar to in a combat phase. The cards will block in a way that's preferable to you for balance sake though.
  • But what do you mean by match the color identity.
  • edited June 2017
    I meant your cards' effects don't all match the colors of your cards.
  • This is a good example.
  • Which cards were you thinking didn't match?
  • Cosmos Flair mostly. But Perplexing crab and Seraph of Purity are off color to a degree. But keep in mind those effects aren't too common so they were mainly towards the color black.

    Although adding +1/+1 colors would fit into blue. White varies wildly on how it's implemented and can be more based on personal opinion.
  • I was thinking Perplexing crab
    And I see your point with Cosmos Flair, the straight up "destroy" isn't really red/blue.
  • The angel isn't off color though, it just differs depending on thematic justification. But yeah, the Cosmos Flair was the main concern.

    Edit: Nevermind, I'll be editing the list again soon anyways.

    @Everyone
    Updated the country list on the following comment. (I don't have editing privileges for the other versions though!)

    One quick question:
    my attackers are now my defenders, so my Cosmos Flare is one of my defenders. How would you counter an instant/sorcery without a straight-up counterspell? Would you have to make a creative counter spell or something that negates the effect?
  • @Opalfox
    It's automatically defeated as it isn't a creature, but the effect still happens.
  • @modnation675
    True, but wouldn't you still have to make a card to interact with it if someone attacks Ukraine with my defending Cosmos Flair.
  • Sorry for all the questions :p
  • @Opalfox
    They'd still have to make five cards, but the fifth wouldn't need to worry about defeating it.

    No problem with the comments, I just enjoy helping manage the challenge.
  • Makes sense.

    Okay good, I didn't want to be super annoying.
  • No problem, I find it interesting as I originally wasn't sure how combat worked when I was participating originally.
  • Yeah this is definitely one of the more complex challenges
