@SpellPiper2213 Nice card. The second ability should probably read like this: Whenever you would draw cards, draw that many, plus one. Then add {u} to your mana pool. That would make it easier to read.
So, here's what we have so far: ~A Military Leader ~A Cat Lover ~A Flying Elf ~A Dark Mage ~A Relieved Gladiator ~A Vengeful Assassin ~A Curious Wizard ~A Knowledgeable Light Mage Looking good so far. I like the diversity. That will make the coming Phases more interesting.
Vendris hails from the plane of Eodem, a world that grew from a quaint medieval land into a highly industrialized cyberpunk-magitech world all thanks to the Aetherstreams that light its beautiful skies. Vendris himself is a history buff and luxomancer, a wielder of hardlight, training to join the police force of the city of Sejet-Vanlith. His training was cut unexpectedly short when he awoke in a place that reminded him all too much of ancient Eodem, however.
... Aetherstreams were definitely not ripped straight from Kaladesh because I liked the concept but not the plane. Definitely not.
@revan would've been better if you added "must be balanced by MTG standards" in the rulings xD
I've seen some that could fit perfectly in actual MTG sets, others that would make Mark Rosewater cry, not divulging which is which, cardsmiths are expected to know what balanced means after all
@CnBCustomsI like that card, going to insta fave it xD
Updated entry that doesn’t involve 5 CMC buff leonin dudes
Loofa McLaeon
Gender: Female Race: Human Occupation: Artificer, Master thief Home Plane: Safteva Age: 19 Alignment: Chaotic Neutral; She doesn’t intend any harm on anyone. They’re just collateral damage when it comes to her achieving her goal of prospering, be them friends or enemies, fellow thieves or government officials. Skills: Bypassing advanced security systems, stealth, grand theft, gunplay and CQC, also an Artificer herself in her free time
Safteva. Some may say it’s a bit like Kaladesh, but they’d be wrong. Mankind has become overly dependent on machines, and all it took was the hand of a master thief to send the entire plane spiraling into anarchy. On that fateful day, a mysterious woman gunned down the most secure government facility in Safteva, disabling the Counsel of Gears. The Counsel of Gears was the machine in charge of making all government decisions, so with it gone, a power vacuum formed, and Loofa disappeared, never to be seen again.....
Loofa’s life wasn’t always like this. She was born into a family of government officials. Her father, Tidus and her mother, Kesha, held important roles in the running of Safteva, mainly, overseeing that the government automatons perform their duty and do not run corrupt. It was by their hand that the Counsel of Gears was put into place, a non biased machine capable of making important, complex government decisions in a split second, without any political interference. It was perfect. The government ran smooth with equality, and everyone received what they wanted, until one day, Kesha passed away...
Things went downhill once Kesha died. Tidus and his new partner, Aeen, couldn’t agree on things. Tidus wanted more control over the government, and secretly corrupted the Counsel of Gears, and Aeen caught on, but it was too late. In its rogue dwellings, the Counsel decided that Tidus and Aeen should be killed to prevent human interference in the government, and soon after, there was no one controlling the government...
Loofa was orphaned at the young age of 9, and taken in by the warden of a prison, named Lepkot. He secretly dealed with criminals, letting them go if they had potential, and even helping them achieve their goals sometimes. He trained Loofa the arts of stealth, theft, and gunplay, and turned her into a master thief and assassin by the age of 15. However, when Lepkot released the criminal that killed her grandfather, she payed him back with a knife to the throat, and went on her way, making use of everything she could, from loose Artificing skills she learned from her parents, to her skills on the field...
The comment below the next one was about my prior entry, I was a dingus that couldn’t read the rules, so Loofa is my new entry, which as of this point, Revan has not seen.
Othei hails from Bontios, a small, isolated plane of harsh deserts and mountains where the vicious Kashadarki Clans, the nomadic Volo nation, and the Awakener Cult vie for control of its struggling populations. Othei is a leading figure amongs the Awakeners, who had begun to take the upper hand in the power struggle, when he was ripped from his plane. He takes this a test from Telbos the Sleeper, a god of eradication and purity that was long ago sent to rest by Bontios' dominant gods. The Awakener Cult sees him as their purpose and overlord, and sacrifice converts, both willingly and unwillingly, to feed his slowly waking hunger.
ANNOUNCEMENT If you want in on this contest, submit your entries soon. I will be ending the First Phase early, due to the flood of cards I received within the first 2 days.
The Most Well Balanced Card goes to @Credius with Valerius. You get 2 Faves. Best Art goes to @Bowler123 with Alabaster. You get 2 Faves. Revan's Pick is Othei by @SteampunkDragon.

As you walk through the forest, you contemplate how peaceful it is, almost forgetting that you are trying to find a way back home. Before long, you stumble into a dirt road that runs through the forest. You decide that if you follow it, you're bound to find some sort of settlement were you can find food and lodging. You start down the road, and after about 30 minutes, you begin feeling like you're being watched. At first, everyone brushes it of as an aftereffect of being Plane Ripped, but White Fang stops everyone.
"Shhh… Can you hear it? There is something in the underbrush." Before you can react, beings burst from the covert and rush your party. They are 13 in number, armed with various weapons and clad in a mixture of leather and chain.
"Orcs," yells Alabaster, "Defend yourselves!"
Goal: Create a card that represents how your character defends themselves against the Orc Raiders. Your characters will not die because of my, or your, cards. Limit of 4 cmc. Must be an Instant, Sorcery, or Artifact of any rarity.
