For example: "Battalion — Whenever this creature and at least two other creatures attack, ..." can become "Battalion — Whenever Boros Elite and at least two other creatures attack, Boros Elite gets +2/+2 until end of turn."

I don't disqualify cards with unknown artists. I know sites like ArtStation or DeviantArt are sometimes blocked by school or parents. But please do your best to find the artists. I feel disinclined to post cards with unknown artists to the Hall of Fame.
