1 mana 3/3
The logical next step, no?
There are only four of these in the history of Magic. You can see them here:
http://gatherer.wizards.com/Pages/Search/Default.aspx?action=advanced&cmc=+=[1]&power=+=[3]&tough=+=[3]
Not surprising, considering how fiendishly difficult it is to create a balanced 1cmc 3/3. But that's the aim of this challenge!
Rules
- Cards must be 3/3 creatures that cost 1 mana.
- Any rarity from common to mythic.
- Maximum of 3 entries per smith. At least 2 of your entries must be created on or after 8th August.
- You can remake your entries as many times as you like.
Judging Criteria
- Balance
- Playability
- Realism
- Creativity
- Templating (including spelling, grammar, punctuation and spacing)
- Flavour
- Art selection (using existing MtG art is strongly discouraged)
Prizes
Unlike last time, I won't be judging across three categories because there's a lot less flexibility here compared to 1 mana 2/2s. At least, I'm not planning to - but, if there are lots of entries, I'll try to find some way of having lots of winners again. Until then, it'll be:
- 1st place, 5 faves
- 2nd place, 3 faves
- 3rd place, 1 fave.
Deadline
22nd August
Good luck!

I'd leave it rare to make the Ornithopter/Memnite T1 play feel a little less gross.
Please read my comment on the cards page and provide feedback!
I gave it a try and added some delirium to make it a little more potent if it makes it to late game
RE-EDITED
Designed to fit into Green swarm decks, both in the way it plays, and the way to counter it.

Okay, this card has a lot of downsides. If it dies in combat, you can't bring it back no matter what. Plus it gets exiled at the end of combat anyways. So, unless your opponent is playing a VERY creature-heavy deck, this card will not do much for quite a while. In fact, it could be just a Lava Spike that can die in combat.
An excellent card for infect abilities when you need it. Big risk but big reward.

Not much with this, pretty good with graveyard based decks but mainly for casual decks to fill in spaces.

Good, confusing, and... Yeah.
Someone mind giving me feedback on these?

kinda just wanted to make a new mechanic
Also the token it becomes

Also a quick reminder that templating is important! Things like italicizing reminder text and putting your text in the centre of the box rather than all bunched up at the top just makes the card look a bit more realistic and pretty
