That card feels underwhelming given your opponent gets the benefit also. Could use slight tweaking.
Great flavor text everyone!
Yes, it would. But I think the following should be done. The targeting part is not good as I think the choices should be make on resolution for ease of use.
-----
{2}: Put two +1/+1 counters on a creature you control. Then target opponent may put a +1/+1 counter on a creature they control. Any player may activate this ability.
-----
Edit: The creature could also use a stat buff. Keep in mind playability for all formats is important.
If you have any questions, I'll answer them tomorrow. Night Knight!

Very simple. You can easily figure out which Magic card I drew inspiration from, and hopefully y'all think it's a good take on that classic card.

This one is the entry that I am most proud of, and one that I'm not sure is even valid, but I still want to get out there. While trying to think of something very different than my other four creations, I thought, what if I created a Planeswalker whose abilities could be used by everyone? If the effects were powerful enough, people would certainly be less willing to kill that Planeswalker, so the attack dynamic would be interesting. But throw in the idea that, if left unchecked (in a two or four player game) the Planeswalker's owner will be the one to use its powerful ultimate. This has the potential to create a mini game where people attempt to do small amount of damages sporadically to a Planeswalker with a shifting defensive force. Enter, Kamlar, Archaeomonger:

Kamlar, as a character, is an archaeologist from the Plane of Shandalar. As a card, she embodies exactly what I think a monger should be. This is one of those cards of mine that I can really get behind as unique, fun, and interesting. Let me know what you think, I would love to hear your feedback!
