Because I love these moments when someone thinks
"Oh, that little thing?"
*Its head begins to emerge from the water*
"Oh..."
@LONEvvolf Also a nice card. Very interesting, what with no mana cost and all that, although it should have a zero-drop cost, because technically you can't cast it right now. Also, why do you have the extra cost in italics? Just some food for thought.
And by the way, leviathan is spelled this way <---

Definitely a "Sea Monster"
Here is an Epic spell that gives you a "Sea Monster"

An old flavor-above-playability concept of mine that I'm actually quite happy with. Thought you might like it too :V

@Looverse Nice! The transform from blue to green is a nice touch, with the blocking and can't be blocked by three or more creatures a nice balance. You might want to make it a bit harder to transform the first time, though. Also, it would be nice to see some type of land to island changing ability, for the evolved to be able to un-evolve.
@FallOutBoy Interesting card, as it's not something that normally has bestow (eidolons, etc.). one quick thing is that you made a mistake for the bestow instructions. You said that the outlast cost is {u}{u} for the actual serpent, but then said that for the bestowed creature it is only {u}. Is this an accident? If so, tell me and I'll judge it accordingly.
@seanabit Alright, that's fine I guess. But could you at least capitalize titles and beginnings of sentences?
Good work all! Keep goin'!

He is part of a set of 5 guardians I am making.
Here was the first:http://mtgcardsmith.com/view/timeless-dragon?list=user#.VUbl-fnF9RQ
They exist on a plane that has "windows" to other planes. Where they can see the planes but cannot travel to them. The creatures of this plane can learn the abilities of those other planes though through observation.
@LONEvvolf I like the revised version of Ageless Leviathan. Also, I absolutely love the Timeless Tragon, but I don't really see any sort of sea monster flavoring in it. If I'm wrong, please tell me so and point out my errors.

Not sure if I like it. Started with the art, how big the leviathan was, and turned into something that is literally too big to change control of and "eats" creatures in a way.
