  @IanLowenthal If they choose to sacrifice then it triggers the second ability. so it's not pointless.

  @modnation657 You have to submit a being that is mentioned in the flavor text of at least one real card.
  
  @dashdo101 You're good. That is actually a pretty cool card.

  @George1972 I must say, I'm not sure if making a lizard man fits the flavor text, seeing as lizards shed their scales like the Naga.

  @IanLowenthal was aiming for a dragon man......

  @kltmtg29 You realize that the tokens that the second ability creates don't contribute to X right?
  
  @George1972 Dragons weren't alive during the Khan period.

  @kltmtg29 I thought so. How about you ditch the first ability to make room and change to second one to "{b}{u}, Sacrifice a creature: Destroy target creature, then create a 1/1 blue and black Assassin creature token and have the owner t of that creature gain control of it." Or something like that?

  And here is the card http://mtgcardsmith.com/view/norin-the-wary-7

  @kltmtg29 Nice. I will say, that a sacrificed creature is worth two mana. Having each of your opponent's lose 1 life and you gain 1 life is worth one mana at the very most. How about, instead of you gaining 1 life, "you gain life equal to the life lost this way", which is worth 1 1/2 sacrificed creatures. When dealing in sacrificed creatures, always round down.
  @Sauron132 That is actually really interesting. However, Norin seems to be very blue.
• Sauron132

  February 2017 edited February 2017

  @IanLowenthal I guess. I was thinking white to be a color a meek warrior would be in.
• IanLowenthal

  February 2017 edited February 2017

  @Sauron132 White is for brave warriors. How's blue/white? Also, tapping both creatures for benefit is very blue. You are right in that white does have regeneration though, and the card would be quite silly without that.

  I don't know if you already know this but just FYI Norin is already a card: http://gatherer.wizards.com/Pages/Card/Details.aspx?multiverseid=113512

  Red?!
  @Sauron132 I'm sorry, but you'll have to find a new character.

  That is quite interesting. I'm not sure if overcharge is better than overload though. (Although I will say that Overload is easier to balance at a glance.)
