Rusathar - Official Set Challenge

Hi, it's Llamalord44! (Dang, this intro is really getting old, don't you think?)

This is another contest for a set of mine, and like the one for Champions Rising, it is helpful to me as well as the contestants. This one has amazing prizes (that I haven't thought of yet) so you should probably enter RIGHT NOW! The prizes, as usual, will be announced with the winners. Just throwing that out there.

Anyways, the contest is to make awesome cards for my new Rusathar set! I'll give you information below, but first, I'll post the contest finishing date and how to win.

"Due Date": August 20th.

How to Win: Make the coolest cards for the new set! The more you make, the higher your chance of winning will be.

Information!

You must make uncommons. It may sound boring, but I at least enjoy it. That's why I'm letting you guys do it. (That makes sense, right?.)

Uncommons -
Each color needs - 8
Artifacts - 7
Lands - 2
Each combination of two colors - 3 (One for each kingdom (See below))
Each of the combinations of three colors in this set (WBG, URW, WUB, RGB, and RUG) - 2

The Kingdoms

Steghor - White, Black, and Green are the Steghor colors. The Steghor are much like the Abzan of Tarkir - They're tough, they live in the desert, and they're persistent. They are currently in a war with the Raelu and the Daragrus (at the same time.) They're ability is, of course, persist!
Persist (When this creature dies, if it had no -1/-1 counters on it, return it to the battlefield under its owner’s control with a -1/-1 counter on it.)

Sonakru - White, Blue, and Red are the Sonakru colors. They are just like the Jeskai of Tarkir in the way that they live in Monasterys and are mostly monks and stuff like that. Except they are more creature based than noncreature based, because the creatures are kind of also like spells! They are one of two kingdoms currently being attacked by Stelaar. They're ability is evoke.
Evoke X (You may cast this spell for its evoke cost. If you do, it's sacrificed when it enters the battlefield.)

Vekron - White, Blue, and Black are the Vekron colors. This kingdom is like an even more advanced version of Esper. The people are not all artifacts (just saying), but they build constructs and golems to do they're work for them. The previous leader of the Vekron, Thuminra, was overthrown by the evil planeswalker Stelaar, who is using the kingdom and his powers over metal to wage war on the kingdoms of Rusathar. The first two targets are the Sonakru and the Kalukruz. The Vekron ability is affinity for artifacts.
Affinity for Artifacts (This spell costs {1} less to cast for each artifact you control.)

Kalukruz - Black, Red, and Green are the Kalukruz colors. This kingdom is like Jund. The goblins, ogres, and other creatures that are the citizens of this kingdom worship the dragons that soar through they're skies - and protect them. The ancient dragon Kalukruz is worshiped by them as the great dragon god. They are one of two kingdoms currently being attacked by Stelaar. The Kalukruz ability is Bloodthirst.
Bloodthirst X (If an opponent was dealt damage this turn, this creature enters the battlefield with X +1/+1 counter(s) on it.)

Raelu - Blue, Red, and Green are the Raelu colors. The Raelu are actually not too much like the Temur of Tarkir. They are ferocious and they do believe in natural supremacy, but they do not live in the icy frontiers. They live in woodland areas, with ancient elementals as they're guides. They are in a war with the Daragrus and the Steghor. They're ability is monstrosity.
X: Monstrosity X (If this creature isn’t monstrous, put X +1/+1 counters on it and it becomes monstrous.)

The Kingdoms that will be in Planar Annihilation, the Second Set in the Rusathar Block -
(The abilities for these have not yet been conceived.)


Banris - White, Blue, and Green are the Banris colors. They believe in peace. Completely. They're weapons do not kill. Rather, they imprison other creatures.

Vapruu - Blue, Black, and Green are the Vapruu colors. They are somewhat like the Sultai of Tarkir. They do love wealth and have lots of nagas, but zombies aren't really they're thing.

Daragrus - Blue, Black, and Red are the Dragrus colors. The Vekron kingdom isn't the only one that was taken over by a planeswalker. Khai, a mad devil planeswalker, has secretly taken control of Daragrus. The previous leader, Xakarus, is still thought to be the leader, though Khai orders him around with threats of death. Khai's latest scheme was to get rid of the Steghor and the Raelu. For fun.

Hadragon - White, Black, and Red are the Hadragon colors. They are a war-loving kingdom that, well, loves war. They would love to start a fight about the simplest thing, then make it a whole lot bigger. Their warriors are definitely strong enough. They're leader is a Demon with a dark side and a light side, both very powerful.

Belacra - White, Red, and Green are the Belacra colors. They are much like Naya. Worshipping gigantic beasts and running alongside them, this kingdom of mostly leonin is destined to be the third target of Stelaar, in Planar Annihilation.

Good luck to all the contestants, and sorry for all of the text above!
