@Tomigon: Of course! But Gangrenous Titan was my very first design here, I had no clue how the Card Maker worked so there are some mistakes in it. Namely, the rules box refers to an obscure "Gangrenous Giant" and some strange place called the "battlefiLEd" xD Feel free to remake it if you want, or I can make a clean version for the set if you'd like
But I'm not 100% sure about the balance. Might need tweaking but I'm not sure without playtesting. Let me know what you think and I can remake with the artist's name.
@Animist Cool concept! But I think it lets you draw too many cards. Her evasion ability is so good. You can draw almost always draw two or more cards. And you don't need to worry about losing your creatures if you know you can draw that many cards.
Yeah, I think it probably does draw too many cards. I would like the number of cards drawn to be tied to the number of creatures that attacked though so I'll try to keep that theme and balance it from there. Coastal Piracy and Bident of Thassa are both 4cmc so maybe this would be better at 4 or 5cmc and then just give it skulk if it doesn't attack alone.
Destroy target artifact and its controller gains 2 life if {g} was spent to cast Pure and Simple. Destroy target enchantment and its controller gains 2 life if {w} was spent to cast it. (Do both if {g}{w} was spent.)
Commodity. It isn't anything noticiable, but the double colors actually have an order when they appear together... If you search Gatherer for Selesnya cards (g/w), the mana symbols always have {g} before {w}. Some patterns, I guess. You don't need to follow them strictly if you don't want to, just putting it out there.
@chronostrike - Generally mana flows in the well known WUBRG fashion. However, when secondary colors come into play, the flow changes in an odd manner. No longer does mana care about the road to WUBRG, now it cares about the Shortest Distance. For example... Keeping WUBRG in our mind... Blue and white together is WU. That's obvious, because it's in the WUBRG order... Next we look at another color combo... White and green... In WUBRG it's WG, but that's not how it is in MtG... WU is in that order, because on the color circle on the back of every card, from White to Blue is one step. White to Green is four steps, but Green to White is one step, and so the order is GW and not WG Here is the two color break down WU WB UB UR BR BG RG RW GW GU
It changes again with three colors, but I'm not completely up to speed on that one, but I believe it starts with the Dominant color, and then looks for the shortest path, but don't quote me on that. XD
@chronostrike Thanks for those cards! Pure and Simple is neat, but I want a card that can destroy both artifact and enchantment in mono color deck. Yours can't destroy enchantment if it is played in mono green, and it can't destroy artifact if it is played in mono white.
Rising Tide Nakame feels like more of a Powerful Wizard, if it turns land into another land.
I think I'll wait for a bit more submissions. It doesn't mean your cards are bad. They just don't fit in the set.

Hahaha! Thanks! I'll fix those parts and make it in my 2nd account. But if you have time to remake it yourself, you definitely should! It's a great card! I already have an art link:

If it was my card, new version would be:

^Is wording ok? Even without "If...", it is already a good card I think.

I think those are good idea:)

Thanks for the card! But I'd like green legendary to be who's born in the forest. Sorry!
Also, maybe this works?

Cool card! Thanks so much!
I mean, can you include a link to that card in your comment?
for this,

and for your new one

I googled the artist you credited in your card, but I couldn't find it.
Here's a blue legendary creature, although he's probably massively under powered for what you're looking for: http://mtgcardsmith.com/view/cacara-wavewalker?list=user
G/W destroy artifact and enchantment.
Destroy target artifact and its controller gains 2 life if {g} was spent to cast Pure and Simple. Destroy target enchantment and its controller gains 2 life if {w} was spent to cast it. (Do both if {g}{w} was spent.)
Simpler.
That works: changed.
On a related note, why is green before white in this context?

WU is in that order, because on the color circle on the back of every card, from White to Blue is one step.
White to Green is four steps, but Green to White is one step, and so the order is GW and not WG
Here is the two color break down
WU
WB
UB
UR
BR
BG
RG
RW
GW
GU
Hope that helps!
