... really? XD Why isn't it an Angel Mutant Turtle... maybe a ninja too! (so add ninjutsu!) XD
Fun idea!
Also, I want more submissions! Make my life harder when it comes time for me to judge! XD
To those who have submitted numerous entries, I will not cut off the number of submissions, but I will be going through and selecting my favorite of your submitted cards to judge against other creators, not all of them as a whole.
The original card I am mirroring is http://gatherer.wizards.com/Pages/Card/Details.aspx?multiverseid=3315 (only posting Angel images here. I gave this card all it's abilities with minor tweaks, including it's ablity to be searched out by sacing certain creatures. I picked far better ones, as the guys you need play do that for Spirit of the Night weren't worth playing on their own. http://gatherer.wizards.com/Pages/Card/Details.aspx?multiverseid=3319
Edit. I was being lazy, so I needed to fix this properly.
Here's the other piece of the puzzle done right.
@DoctorFro - That's basically an anti-angel of sorts. Interesting. Essentially, angels become demons when they die. It would command an angel/demon EDH deck with numerous buffs to demons I assume?
@Zephyr6066 - A very powerful angel with a very high cost. Using others to keep itself alive is a dark mechanic (hence the black mana, lol).
As for the flavor text, I would love take full credit, but I drew inspiration from a very old quote on another magic card. Soul Rend http://gatherer.wizards.com/Pages/Card/Details.aspx?multiverseid=3313 I laughed when I read it back in the day, so it always stuck with me funny in a screwed up way someone could come to that answer.
@Lastjustice - Makes a lot more sense now!
I dunno, I just found it a while back.
As a friendly reminder, this contest closes in 11 days (which is Christmas, so I hope you're keeping up with your gifts! lol).
@Valoth - I look forward to seeing what you do! You're demons I know are fun.
Balanced her ability by making it only whenever a creature is destroyed by combat, so that you can't simply sacrifice a creature to get a potential board-wipe, as well as making her power fairly low compared to her casting cost.
Another Valkyrie, fits along the lines of what Valkyries did in the Norse mythos, seems to me would be great in an Athreos deck.
Sorry for pretty much spamming, but a few more Valkyries
Here is a Valkyrie I made previously (since you just shared so many Norse angels). Note that we chose the same MTG axe/shield symbol for our Valkyries! XD
This card is built on the concept of Angels being souls of the righteous that have ascended when they die. This card contrasts Demons hurting both their controller and their opponents by showing mercy to all.
