Cranking out them prizes, huh?
• Create a black and red legendary creature.
• Create a green and blue legendary creature.
Commander was one of the first formats I learned when I started playing Magic (during Return to Ravnica block), and is currently the only format I play. I even made full commander decks of custom cards with other cardsmiths as commanders when I first started coming around here. I'm just a little bit of a commander nut.
Another Legends Pack please!
In other words, I may need to add "Players can't cast permanent spells." to her so that she doesn't inherently break the game in its current state, but that won't happen until tomorrow because I need to go to bed.
Edit: Updated Saria, changelog in the comments; the original can still be found here.
Rare:
- A keyword ability (Flying)
- A triggered ability (Whenever another nontoken creature enters the battlefield under your control, put your choice of a trample, first strike, or flying counter on it.)
If you wanted a similar effect though, perhaps you could change the second ability to:- "Whenever Aoife, Guiding Faerie or another nontoken creature enters the battlefield under your control, put your choice of a flying counter, first strike counter, or trample counter on it." (Slight rewording of the tail end courtesy of Helica Glider and Vivien, Monsters' Advocate.)
This way you could still give them flying, while also giving them additional flexibility.Prize
• Create a legendary creature with at least 20 words of flavor text.
• Create a green and blue legendary creature - Leviathan
• Create a legendary creature with at least 20 words of flavor text.
• Create a green and blue legendary creature - Leviathan
The rare challenge had me really stumped. It was a struggle to come up with an ability that didn't feel like a cop-out (e.g. something that grants five keywords, or something along the lines of {COST}: If {w} was paid, do X; if {u} was paid, do Y; etc.) It still feels like I sidestepped the issue a bit here, but I couldn't fit what I wanted inside the text box, so…*shrug*
Another Legends Pack please!
P.S.: That Critical Challenge is astoundingly wonderful. While I have a few ideas for the card itself, I've been struggling to come up with so much as a half-decent name.
