Spice it Up (Closed)
This contest will be simple.
Take a card with no rules text and add rules text to it.
Like this:
Yar-Kul was transformed into a maggot then eaten by a frog wich swelled with the spirit to become Yargle. Hence, the alternate cost.
Use the flavor text to create the rules text. You can't change the name, mana cost, color IDENTITY, supertype, or subtype. Only change rarity and/or P/T if needed to balance. Please use original art.
Post the image of the original next to the card with rules text. And explain the connection between the flavor text and the rules text.
Cards will be judged by how much the rule text fits with the card and the flavor text.
1st: card favored, a follow, and another favorite of their choice
2nd: card favored, and another favorite of their choice
3rd: card is favored
Will close by 8/30/18

Now this Skaab with its awesome artwork finally gets an ability it can be proud of. Ludevic and Geralf are necromancers. Necromancers are (mostly) wizards (those two are). So, if Geralf made this Skaab, Ludevic can now spend a turn turning it into something even better! Featuring the original Innistrad's Skaabs' ability to exile creatures from your graveyard to be cast.
Ridiculed for just being a vanilla 2/3 for 3, the Tolarian Scholar decided to actually get some abilities.
Sorry if it's fuzzy. I don't know how to fix that. Anyways, a tradition of study and research means drawing cards, and he also works with other wizards to make sure that the new Tolarian Academies don't suffer the same fate as the original, hence the second ability.
Players can't lose life as a result of activated abilities

He should have always had reach. It just makes sense.

I liked the card, but thought it could use a bit more to it.
You can't use that card. The original has rules text.
Sorry about that. Must have misread the rules. I have another entry though.
