@saveria201 - thanks for the entry! It's great to see an interpretation from an 'enemy' point of view.
@pstmdrn - just a couple of tweaks. Words after colons are capitalised, so "Add {g} to your mana pool." And the last ability would be "Activate this ability only if a Forest card is in your graveyard." Thanks for the entry!
Lorius' motley crew seems mostly comprised of Assassins. Assassins are vile, culturally speaking, so I assume there'd be one or more that's mentioned that within earshot of Lorius and he'd be none too pleased at the statement. He'd want to show the vocal chap just how useful assassins could be in a permanent kind of fashion, but he'd be more inclined if someone else'd be willing to pay in addition.
The card reflects this process in game mechanic terms. Someone else has made that creature a target, the assassins can take it from here. To be even more in flavor, the spell/ability would have to be one you don't control, but then the spell would become decidedly bad outside of the sideboard. This is the design I stuck with. Hope you like it @Animist!
Another card, this time for Volkir. The Prince of Krovmir is obviously callous and uncaring, prioritizing personal gain over the comfort and safety of his worthless servants. Volkir also dabbles in -1/-1 counters, and seems drawn to death. My card has combined as many aspects of Volkir as I could, including -
- Callousness - Ruthlessness - -1/-1 counters - Personal gain - Arrogant vampire flavor text!
@Animist Can we have an extension? I would like to create entries to this contest, but I fear that I may not be able to if this ends in four days. I have other things in my way ATM.
The deadline is now the following Sunday, 23rd April. If you haven't entered yet, there's plenty of time to do so and, if you have, there's plenty of time to remake or replace your entries if you want!

This is intended to characterise Bjeldor by representing colors and effects that work directly against what I felt were his strengths.

For Bjeldor:
It was supposed to be like that, is there something wrong with that?
I can change it if you like.
Because discarding cards is not always good, I was happy to keep allowing it to happen.
Edited slightly.

I liked making an anti-bjeldor card so I kept up that theme for thavra.

I noticed that she seemed to like having creatures entering the battlefield, So I will enter this card:
Changed a word in the rules text for Assassin's Warrant to make it a little easier to understand.
- Callousness
- Ruthlessness
- -1/-1 counters
- Personal gain
- Arrogant vampire flavor text!
