Story - I was particularly inspired by the Deathstalker series, which has parts taking place several centuries a part. One of the legendary heroes of the first series is an old, long-time professional rebel known as Jack Random. Centuries later, one of the heroes comes from the group known as "Random's Bastards", all claiming to be descendants of the heroic rebel of old.
Ramirez pirated around for a long time and given normal pirating habits and a few centuries there are bounty to be some by blows. Now it seems the family tradition of piracy has continued. They've cultivated an aura of fear, just like the Dread Pirate Roberts. A little magical skill has made it into the bunch, with things like warding a crew being well known, and she can protect those who sign on from sea-witches hexes and the like.
Adira is known as a salvager. Although she has to go pirating to get the funds to re-float things that have been lost.
Her crew keeps a secret from those signing on. That the Ghost of their ancestor teaches them some basic necromancy skills. An once you are signed on, the first death isn't an out.

In this contest is a lot like the first. I would like you to make a Descendant member OG Legends [they can be found here [Legends - MTG Wiki (fandom.com)]
As his, the limit for entries will start at 10 cards, though I may increase that number at some point.
I will be judging based on the balance of the card (ie. how realistic it is) as well as how true it stays to the original flavor of the card. There will be a 1st through 3rd place, as well as at least one honorable mentions.
1st: A Follow and 3 Favorites + 1 Circuit Point
2nd: 3 Favorites + 3/4 Circuit Point
3rd: 2 Favorites + 1/2 Circuit Point
Honorable Mentions: 1 Favorite a piece + 1/4 Circuit Point
There has been some discussion of interesting new prizes here:

So in addition top 3 get 1 boggle.
Bonus for all - I plan to put almost all of them together in a "New Legends" Gallery, and archive it offline on Deviantart. I'd like to say all but won't lie. A card with hideous art, a flavor travesty, or mechanics monstrosity, will walk the plank as far as getting in the galley is concerned. But it will stay here and I will connect the Gallery to this discussion.
Example: https://mtgcardsmith.com/user/mmm3creator/sets/59918 - finding the cards was easy but assembling them in a coherent manner was a pain in the but.
This contest will run until the 1st of May, then it will close for judging.
Have fun with the hammer & tongs fellow smiths.

Jacques le Vert was a legendary human warrior who lived in ancient times on Dominaria, before the Brothers' War.

The kobolds of Kher Keep worship the great dragon Prossh as if he were a god. The core tenant of their religion, as it were, is to act in a way befitting of their deity—mainly pillaging, burning, and spreading terror in their wake. Indeed, it is believed that kobolds who live up to these ideals will be reborn as a dragon hatched from one of Prossh's eggs.
One day, Rohgahh had a new idea: the best way to be like his god was to become one himself. From that moment on, he assumed the role of tyrant, demanding tribute and sacrifice equal to what was offered to Prossh. Rograkh, Rohgahh's son, could not bear to watch his father pillage his own people. Not when there were so many other people they could be pillaging instead. His son now leads a resistance against him in attempt to return the kobolds of Kher keep to the path of "righteousness."

Rograkh's more savage older brother proved too unstable for the confines of Kher Keep, even before Rohgahh's treachery, and ventured out to escape the mindless worship of their dragon overlord.

Ayesha was able to control and destroy artifacts with only her will. Her great-great-great granddaughter can control the artifacts as well, and is especially enlightened in creating Sol Rings.

"For long the black blade has been passed from hand to hand, each more undeserving than the last, I the rightful heir being denied of my own ancestor's possession and the sovereign rights that come with it. It is time to reclaim my power, and all who stand in my place will die before I give up that blade." - Raskar.

Now we know what happens when Gingerbrutes go bad...
Centuries ago, before the Mending, Tuknir Deathlock wandered the Aether, looking for himself and others who might give him knowledge. Now his descendant Hakann does much the same. Although with the Mending travel through the Aether is no more, he still travels Dominaria, looking to create an era of peace and ensuring that those he befriends are notified of threats quickly.
Rubinia Soulsinger, as a fairy, has a life long enough to train generations of followers and aspirants. One of them is Manni, a young girl who was raised in an organization dedicated to Rubinia's values. The fairy noticed the young girl's talent for calming people, taking her under her wing and teaching her some of her ways.
Note: I just started making custom cards let me know what I could do to get better.
1. open (</>)
2. change "Image alt" "Image (width=N) alt." (Without parenthesis)
3. Adjust image sizes to your liking.
