Is that a group of dragons eating sushi?
If so, that's pretty cool.
Ampitheres and Coatls make more sense for an Aztec environment. W/G would be feathered dragons, while blue would be drakes. Also, the Ampithere is part white because it flies, and I don't want to break color pie that badly.
If we change it to blue it would need a bit more re-designing for keywords in color. If we change it to a Drake, I'll reference Drakes or Dragons rather than just one of them.
Edit: Yeah, I also pushed it a bit due to the lack of green color support.
Edit: I think Bant works, I'll just have to try some different ideas tomorrow. Not a problem at all.
Yes, your drake is off color. Dragons can be pretty much any color, but drakes are almost always U/R.
Again, drakes can be blue, and the other dragons of this set can be W/G.
Bant ability-Maybe Heroic?
Edit: This card is now obsolete. A new version was made.
Bant is up and rolling, thank you guys!! So I hold what I believe to be an interesting view on Grixis. Alara took it as elemental zombies which has seemed to be continued by cards like Nekusar, but I think there could be another side to it. I think of Grixis with the idea that it is like Izzet, but with ambition towards a goal. I think Suspend fits that idea and the Prophecy part of their culture. Suspend has never been lower than an 8 on the Storm scale, but it seems like it fits well. Your thoughts? Is it too Cliche and does it fit? Could something else do better?
What about a keyword that cared if you controlled 4 or more other creatures at any given time?
The effect could vary following the number of cards revealed, or the type of land revealed.
An example (with my current test subject):
[Card under maintenance.]
Natural talent - Whenever Tlacan Warrior attacks, you may reveal a Land card from your hand. If you do, Tlacan Warrior becomes unblockable until end of turn.
This is a benefit that we gain from it not being a literal keyword, an additional level of flexibility.
The name could also use some work.
Oh, I meant the ability name.
Revealing it from the library would be too much like Miracles. And pretty much everyone hates playing against a Miracles deck. If we did it from the hand, the Ampithere would fit in nicely.
