Joke in response to the whole banding thing. You don't have to give me a favorite. It would be nice though.
Second entry
Welcome to the hunt.
Isamaru, perhaps the most famous hound, grew in strength and leads a cry of hounds to defeat any foe with decisive power.
Next up to bat is Gar Thalyr the Faithful. If you ever need someone on your side in a battle, Gar Thalyr is who to call. Loyal til his last breath, Gar fights for what he believes in, and won't back down as long as he can keep one of his friends alive. He put together a ragtag group of Dog-Men and fought for the freedom of all hounds.
Finally, the Scourge of the Black Woods. These creatures roam the dense forest until they spot some poor soul that they can all pounce on and rip to shreds. Some unholy energy within the more powerful of the beasts fills the entire hunt with bloodlust and the ability to rise from the dead.
I would have had a bit more flavor text for this one, but the reminder text was a bit long. The goal for this one was to bridge the two simic mechanics without making them broken as all get out.
An adaptation of the warchief cycle from onslaught block, I thought that it would work well for a lord without giving a flat +1/+1 bonus.
Finally, I wanted a legendary simic mutant lord. all the other cool kids were doing it! but in all seriousness, I like the concept of "reclaiming" parts of past experiments. feels a bit black, but green has genesis and its like, so not as worried for balance or flavor.
2nd place goes to @Beeswax with Aizhana: I'm not feeling the white on this card. Also, I think a tutor might be too powerful at that price, even for something specific as a spellshaper. The exert ability is what really makes this card though. What would've been great is if Aizhana cast Raise Dead instead. That way, if you discarded a good creature to a spellshaper earlier, you could get it back.
3rd place goes to @Connor2001 with Karesh: You need to either raise the CMC n this card or ditch the protection abilities.
And our first honourable mention is @shadowbefallen01 with Chirogan Commander: Entropy is a really cool mechanic, and I congratulate you on thinking of it, but the whole card is phrased wrong.
@Connor2001 Please choose another Honourable Mention.
@Corwinnn Would you be so kind as to distribute the circuit points? Don't forget Connor's HM.
Thanks to @IanLowenthal for hosting this contest. It was fun to participate in!
