@zephyr6066 Heirloom is very interesting. I like the mechanic!
I also think the card should be worded like this:
Equipped creature gets +2/+2 and has vigilance and "Whenever this creature attacks, create a 2/2 white Spirit with flying that's tapped and attacking. Exile it at the end of combat."
@shadow123 I'm going to focus on the Mask here: First off, it doesn't feel like a common due to complexity and instant speed maneuvering to-and-from snow creatures. Perhaps if you made both of them equips (with the wording @Frostbvrn suggested in the comment section) it'd be alright even at common. Fine design overall, but I don't see the need to keyword frostbite. XD

@Faiths_Guide, what ho, a NIGHTMARE ANGEL! Also pleasantly surprised that 'Retributor' is a real word.
What if the ability was "...enters the battlefield, destroy each creature you don't control that dealt combat damage this turn." and reduce the power/toughness to 4/4 to reflect normal angels?
First things first, calling in spells from outside the game is incredibly overpowered, depending on what spells you have in your collection. That said, You do a nice job of balancing it by attaching it not just to a steep mana cost, but a very squishy body that a spark jolt or other ping ability can kill.
@stormbreath I went to your card page to comment, then realized @DomriKade had already said what I was going to say... Also, why is there a random underscore over the flavor text? Aside from that, I like this card quite a bit!
I'll do both of you. @shadow123 the card seems a little too underpowered. needing to use snow mana in its equip cost is a nice idea, but that means that it won't be used in a majority of decks. If I were to make a suggestion on it, it would be adding an effect that triggers when you have a certain amount of snow permanents, but that seems a bit off from what the card is trying to do.
@Mir-151414 Favorited Reizon. For Ajilaurion, there should be a colon instead of a comma after the "Sacrifice X creatures."
Hope this helps.
Here are my two cards.
P.S. I'm not really sure about the wording on Erlich's turn ending ability, so if someone could help me with that, it would be great!
@ouser94501 I am not sure about wording on the extra turn ability, but what @DomriKade commented on both cards are very useful comments that could improve your cards. @Faiths_Guide do you know how the ability would be worded?
Both cards seem to be too powerful, and interact with the board in confusing ways.
Sanda Claws the Malevolent's toughness is equal to the number of Deserts you control plus the number of Sand creatures you control.
Sanda Claws the Malevolent has infect as long as you control three or more Deserts.
{5}, {t}: Create two 1/1 colorless Sand creature tokens.
Nothing special in my opinion, but not too strong. I think you could get away with it being a rare.
Pillars of Mist As long as there are three or more mist counters on Pillars of Mist, it's a Portal in addition to its other types. (It has "{t}: Add one purple mana.")
Haven't seen any of your purple cards so I can't judge it, but it doesn't feel worthy of being a legendary land or a mythic rare.

@Dizzydude Vert is a frog now. I'm liking everything. It flows well mechanically, and flavor wise. Because of the word malicious in its name, I was expecting maybe red or black in the color identity, but it works as a mono green. I would say possibly to lower the power/toughness to 3/3 and cmc to 5, maybe 4. Overall good design.
Next up, give it a fave and or comment, then post up to two of your own. This card is inspired by this song. Give it listen if you want.
It took me a good while of researching to figure out how scheme cards worked, but I think I've got it to the extent where I can comment on your cards. First of all, I don't believe that you need small text size (if that's what you have), but that's more of a formatting thing. Otherwise, they seem a little bit underpowered actually, compared to other schemes. For example, Behold the Power of Destruction is in a whole other power class than these cards. Flavor-wise, these cards are great - they have names that both fit in with other schemes and match up perfectly with what they do, and the art you found for them works well, too. Of course, I could be entirely wrong about how schemes work and should be balanced - I only just learned that they exist.
@TheWanderer I like both and don't feel like either of them are bad. Both seem balanced to me. I would maybe make Political Pressure cost a little more, 1U or UU possibly.
Next: give it a like and/or comment, then post up to two of your own. Result of me thinking a lot the past few months.
@Mir-151414 - You might be new here. In this thread we leave feedback on the previous commenter's card(s) and/or give them a favorite before posting our own, so please do so to @Revan's card Return Home.
Created this in celebration of my birthday. The previous year has been adventurous, and my life will possibly be changing tremendously next year. I'm a bit afraid of those changes, but I hope everything goes well.
@Revan Not a huge fan of your Saga. I think we should limit ourselves to III since that's what Wizard's has done with the subtype. If you want to push that direction regardless, I think your Saga needs a ETB "choose a creature you control" before its chapters instead of a portion of the first chapter. @DomriKade left an excellent comment on its page.
@Mir-151414 The rules are that you must comment on and/or fave at least one of the cards preceding your post of up to two cards. I will say that there are some simple and reasonably realistic magi among the cards you linked
@TenebrisNemo I'm disappointed that you didn't comment on any previous cards...

My card:
I can’t figure out how to balance this card well. Did I do a good job? Are the tapped creatures too much of a disadvantage? Is this too powerful?
"When CARDNAME enters the battlefield, you gain 1 life and put a +1/+1 counter on it for each creature that convoked it."
