"If I can ever call that place my home". In truth, he rather disliked the gloomy realm of his lord, it was empty of ... everything, really. The Spider God kept all for himself, rarely ever sharing even small parts the massive hoard he had accumulated over the eons of his existence with his minions. Which included Grayvan, who was riding atop a medium-size coursier across yet another forest. It seemed to him that Innistrad was an endless succession of unwelcoming forests, gloomy marshlands and miserable towns. But he welcomed it, inhaling the smell of the wild undergrowth. The smell of life.
It had been two days since the small eight-legged messenger had delivered his mission to him. He hadn't heard of Karveen since. He didn't mind. The mere touch of his overlord's alien sentience could send tremors through his hands and fingers, and Grayvan would more often than not end up sweaty and breathing hard when the contact ended. But he could not disobey. Never. Not if he wanted Karveen to keep the promise he made to all his Agents when they were born in the abyss of his kingdom, that is.
As Grayvan drifted through his thoughts, his awareness descreased ever so slightly. His horse took that opportunity to break out from his rider's mental grip. It reared and bolted forward, almost throwing him down. At the last moment, Klenn's hand snapped forward with blinding speed, oily black claws bursting from his fingertips and gripping firmly the saddel's pommel. He regained control, forcing the horse's mind into submission with sheer willpower.
He cursed. Of course the horse hated him, he thought as his hand returned to a more human appearance. Every beast he encountered could somehow smell out his otherworldly nature, and sometimes even some sentient species like Elves, vedalken, viashino or sphinxes. These he would usually avoid. Humans and dwarves were more dull in that sense; he could sometimes befriend some. "Until the mission is over, and I have to move on, that is", he muttered.
That human "tolerance" was why he and most of his Agent comrades chose a human appearance. Some disliked it, but Grayvan much preferred it to the towering, chitinous form their master had originally given them. It had been over forty years since he had taken that appearance, and didn't miss it at all. Humans had warmth, they had feelings. He found them very interesting, and felt in his place amongst them.
"Speaking of humans ..." he mumbled through his beard, as a small band emerged from the trees and onto the road in front of him.
"Stop right there, ye filth. You ain't getting through that easily", growled a dark-haired, slouched individual, swinging a mace menacingly.
Grayvan stopped the horse. In a few seconds, twelve men and women had surrouded him, all armed and wearing tarnished red surcoats over chainmail. Some kind of town guard, he tought. Or a milicia. "What do you people want with me ?"
"We were told some dark rider would come today, with evil in mind" spat the slouched man through yellow teeth. "No rider 'till you. Surrender or else !"
"Who told you that ?" Grayvan asked.
"None of your buisness. Get down of yer horse."
"Was it a woman ? Versed in ... the arcane perhaps ?"
"That's enough ! Take him down !" With that said, they sprang forward in a coordinated attack from all sides, weapons high.
Klenn released the horse, which rushed forward, knocking down an assailant. Grayvann jumped and landed expertly on the packed earth, drawing his axe with one hand and donning his helm in one swift motion with the other. With inhuman speed, he dove under a spear and smashed his own weapon into the wielder's ribcage. It caved in with a crunch, chaimail and bones. A sword glanced off his shoulder plate, and we swung around, almost gracefully, his axe slicing a throat before blocking another blow from the swordsman. An armored punch into an unprotected jaw, and three men were down in less than six seconds.
The remaining men regrouped a few feet back, faces tense.
"Oi, Forgas ! A hand perhaps ?", shouted Slouched-Back. "We wern't warned we would have to greet some demon of sorts!"
A thirteenth man emerged from the brush. We wasn't armed, and wore a long brown coat instead of armor. But Klenn immediatly sensed it. The man was a wielder of magic. A real threat; the withered face and gnarly hands didn't fool him. He braced himself, dark energies coalescing deep inside him.
The man stopped, and extended his hand, bushy eyebrows frowned. There was the sharp smell of ozone, and, without a word, lightning sprang from his fingertips, arcing towards Klenn.
"Now." He raised his right hand with blazing speed, and a cloud of oily black smoke exploded out from his outstreched palm, smothering the bolt, which forked in all directions. Four men were struck down, and the others ducked for cover. The sorcerer readied himself for another assault, but he was blinded by the smoke.
Klenn wasn't. The men scrambling around him appeared as red and orange figures in the dark haze, but one stood out bright blue. He rushed to him, bringing down his axe in a deadly cleave. The metal met no resistance from the woolen clothing, and the magic-wielder collapsed.
The smoke dissipated, and Grayvan found himself alone, surrounded by corpses. The remaining men had fled, and his horse was nowhere to be seen. "On foot it is, then." It didn't matter; he was close. This patrol had been warned by his target, he was sure of it. The short vision his lord had given him through the spider had seemingly established some sort of brief connection between him and the woman, allowing her to prepare herself and send people to slow him down. She likely was on the run now.
Grayvan's nostrils flared, and he broke into a sprint down the road. The hunt had started.
As the dust settled, the crows gathered for a feast, and the oaks and birch trees resumed their rustling.
Nor do I play a lot of commander, so therefore I am a little in the dark about how to make Aldren commander-playable.
So my questions to you @sorinjace are: How do I favorite a card? What does it mean to favorite a card? And what are some traits of commander legendary creatures that set them apart from just normal legendary creatures? Would you - or anyone else in this competition - be willing to help me out with these? If so, thank you so much for your help.
Like a cryptic command kind of card, like a temur charm for example, or as in make your creature a commander?
Favorite cards mean you click on the star below reading the rules text. Itshkws a totalnumber, if any, of all who have done that already. So if you earned favorites you post the cards links here and i will go favorite them.
Favorite five things from here please.

The last of the Koranoran, Mygwyl still struggles with the fact that he is all that is left of this once great race. Mygwyl does has real power, you see, he can create things instantaneously...... from his mind. He has the gift of artifice, which means he can control metal using the magic that naturally flows through Triskyla. He can craft great weapons and mechanical marvel in a series of seconds. He's now helping to fight in the Blue Bold, a war that has lasted ever since the fall of Koranor, between their destroyers, the Trobuf, and protectors, the Ryrmouyt. And he is discovering ways to push his abilities beyond what they could ever be before.
Am I joining to late?
Ill get back asap @ASubtleGhost for your #8.

I will post the lore for this in full later, but the premise is that Aldren and Mila travel to a neighboring city in Bura Sam, beyond the borders of Thesgal. They are meeting with the viceroy of the city as they conduct a diplomatic mission. What is the purpose of their mission...we'll just have to wait and see.
Thanks, I used MTG. Design, its online and free
