1) What is your perfect date?(romantic, not like on a calendar)

2) How many hot dogs can you eat in under 3 minutes (anything under 37 is unacceptable)

3) If a train left from New York city heading to Paris, France going 432 KPH, and a train left from Paris, France to New York city going 300 MPH when would they collide. (that one is a trick question)

4) Do you like my new hat? (also a trick question)

5) What is your favorite magic card of all time? (lamest question on the questionare)

10) If face with thirteen point five ninjas in a dark alley way what would be your weapon of choice? (easily the most important)

Now all of the questions are very important and serious to the Design process. The amount of times I have had to out swim a dolphin to get a challenge up you would not believe. Please answer them honestly, if you lie we will know, if you google it we will know, in fact WE KNOW THAT YOU ARE READING THIS NOW. So watch out buster....Water tribe.

(Okay serious face) Oh and please vote on your favorite rare its very very important like actually important. And critiques are always helpfull honestly. Also thank you for submitting your ideas and please keep em coming. If yours hasnt been picked yet keep trying. Sometimes your ideas are great but are meant for a different shard, or are slightly under powered and could be being auto included into uncommon slots. SO KEEP TRYING, NEVER SURRENDER, VICTORY OR DEATH.

First, have to say kudos to the entrants. I like pretty much all these cards. Most of which I remember seeing in the submission thread and thinking, 'that's cool.'

For Red, I think we have to go with either Dragonsoul or Quakespawn. Not because they're better (like i said, I like most of these cards), but b/c I think they're the most "Irindu." I think we need an enchantment that interacts with flow (if I didn't like the green creatures so much, River of Sustenance would be great).

So I vote Quakespawn for red, and suggest they be 3/1 hasties that get sacrificed at the end of the turn.

I love the green creatures. Meadow Dancer is really cool (maybe she should get one other pump when flow is paid, like flying), and Kara's concept is cool. But, I have to vote for Master of Irindu for green. I would love to build a deck around it.

For R/G, I wanted an instant. But, I like Wild Flow's idea of really manipulating the battlefield. I would say it should be increased to CMC 4, make it an instant, and make it until the end of turn. Or CMC 3 and give +2 and -2.

Red: Quakespawn. I think that they should be 3/1 haste trample that get sac'd at end of turn.

Green: Meadow Dancer. Okay, I think it should gain smart shroud (aka troll shroud) and take away the "can't be countered," I agree with exarkun809 that part of the pump from pay flow should be something more like maybe whither or reach or some other green ability.

Red/Green: I really like Symboitic Meltdown. Though I think it should exile the creatures and when it get's sacrificed all the creatures exiled should return to the battle field tapped or something.

Red: Uneven Flow. I really like this card. I, personally, think that the rules text needs to be changed to allow for the 2 damage to target a creature also. I like keeping it as a 2/2 and doing 2 damage because it is a rare, and, by weakening the creature's p/t or damage, I feel like it makes the card too much like an uncommon Prodigal Pyromancer . I could see possibly changing the mana cost to 1RR or 3R though to make it more difficult to cast. Also, the flow cost would have to be increased if the 2nd option was chosen.

Green: Irindu's Splendor. This card seems like it would be very fun to play. It allows you to use twice as much mana as normal. This would allow for a nice ramp card. Also, it allows you to get your bombs out faster than normal. Sure, you don't get to untap the land next turn, but that doesn't stop you from being able to do quite a bit on your next turn regardless. I think this card definitely should not be changed.

R/G: Symbiotic Meltdown. This seems like a really cool card. I do agree that it should be changed to exile the creatures and bring them back to the battlefield tapped as was suggested by Zylo. Also, for whatever reason, I think the tokens should be 0/2 or even 1/2. I really have no reasoning behind this though other than I think that the creatures should at least be somewhat more useful than an 0/1 haha.

Uneven flow - I think damage should be able to be directed at creatures

Meadow Dancer - I like this card for its synergy with flow, and I think that it should get another pump when a flow cost is played maybe trample, as exarkun said.

Symbiotic Meltdown - I like Zylo's suggestion, where if this enchantment is destroyed creatures come back tapped

red- dragonoid: I don't think the CMC of the creatures needs to be decreased if the CMC of the dragonoid is increased

green- one of my cards is in there, so I wont vote

Gold- Symbiotic meltdown: i agree with the exile idea. and returned to play afterwords

My Favorites :

Red :

Dragonsoul - Excellent example of a simple effect with great utility.

Green :

Meadow Dancer would be my pick, if it was given shroud, or even troll shroud.

Gold :

Primal Drive - good fit with the colors.

Other Thoughts :

Dragonoid - just doesn't seem like a dragon to me.

Irindu Shaman - lose the +1/+1 and flying abilites.

Master of Irindu - make it a 1GG enchantment and lose the complications - tap all your lands or sac it, and you get to untap during each opponents untap - remember you still get to untap everything else during your turn as well.

Wild Flow - assume you have a creature or 2, and your opponent does as well - if you both have small creatures, they kill each other, and you get no damage through, if yours are bigger (>4) you cant attack because now you have smaller creatures. if you both have big creatures, again, mutual destruction. Would only be good in a situation where they have bigger creatures than you, or you have unblocked attackers. Haste makes no sense here - anything already on the board wouldn't need it and anything you cast that turn would either be a big creature with -3/-3 and haste or +3/+3 trample and summoning sickness. replace haste with 0:regenerate this creature and make it an instant. some possibilities there.

Or did I just miss the point to wild flow completely?

Okay...

FOR RED! Dragonoid on the condition that the name is changed, the creature type is changed (sorry, it just doesnt seem right, flavor wise. I don't understand why a dragon would be doing that.) and that it can only be a Creature. Also, if its a creature, and you have to sac it at end of turn you could possilby even raise what the CMC could be.

FOR GREEN! Meadow Dancer, Fo sho. Its good if your playing flow, its good when your playing AGAINST flow! Also, elk is a cool creature type. haha. As for making it better... Shroud or troll shroud seems good. Other than that, I cant really think of too much.

FOR GOLD! Rabid Woggler Swarm has the best name, the coolest ability, and I can see myslef making about a billion different decks with it. I would suggest make it cost GR (or maybe 1GR if it gets too good.), drop the reach, give it haste, and make it a 1/1. Spawnwrithe was awesomely fun, Sprouting Phytohydra was fun, and I'm sure that this guy woll lead to many-a-epic game stories!

Additional notes:

Wild Flow needs to be reworded with an 'and' between the abilities so people don't think they're creatures get +3/+3 and THEN get -3/-3.

Quakespawn should make 3/1.

I don't understand why everyone is worried about shutting down flow. The set is going to need some cards that prevent some weird Flow Combo deck from happening. The best way to do that is to either raise the Flow Cost, which may make flow unplayable, or you can make abilities that make flow more difficult. i.e. "flow cost 3 more", or "players can only draw one additional card each turn", or even "players cannot cast cards from anywhere other than their hand" providing that it has suffiecent enough of a drawback. Besides, even if you turn off flow, it doesnt mean that the other person is out of the game.

I'm not voting. I would be biased cos I'm an entrant... Instead I'm just adding a suggestion to my own card (Rabid Woggler Swarm). I actually designed it to counter hefty fliers (Goliath Sphinx ) and dodge Lightning Bolt s, thus, reach and shroud. Although that said, shroud doesn't suit. I really wanted it to be U/G not R/G, but anyway...

My suggested changes to my own card:

1: Reduce the mana cost by 1

2: Give it a regenerate option ("G: regenerate", or "RG: regenerate") and ditch shroud

So with the changes:

Rabid Woggler Swarm 1GR

Creature - Beast Mutant

Reach

G/RG: Regenerate

During each player's end step, if 3 or more cards were drawn this turn, put a token that's a copy of Rabid Woggler Swarm onto the battlefield.

1/2

as for suggestions to giving it haste, I think Haste just doesn't suit, as the tokens it produces come into play at the end of turn anyway.

oh, and I want the card art to be an EVIL FLYING RABBIT!!!

Even if your card is one of the finalists, you should still vote. If you think your card is the best in its category, then vote for your own. If not, vote for someone else's. No one is going to hold it against you if you vote for your. I doubt Obama voted for McCain...

Lol well said mistergreen527

I'm pretty sure Sarah Palin voted for obama

Well I'm glad to see that Sarah Palin isn't completely insane.

Red: i love all these cards but i feel that Quakespawn and Uneven Flow are the most "Irindu". There needs to be "counter-flow" cards. I think that Quakespawn should create 3/1 with haste and sacrificed at end of turn. And Uneven Flow should be an enchantment. I vote for Uneven Flow

Green: I really like how Irindu's Splendor represents the volatility of the land. Although I think Meadow Dancer is a winner. Like most other people, i think it should have shroud and maybe gaining flying when a card is "flowed". I vote for Meadow Dancer

Red/Green: I reckon Symbiotic Meltdown is the true winner here. It represents just how crazy Irindu can get at times. Just i feel that the creatures should be exiled rather than destroyed. I vote for Symbiotic Meltdown

Also I'm really surprised to see that two of my cards got in the finals! Dragonsoul was intended to only be used on your own creatures, otherwise you have a mono-red kill spell. And I agree that Fluctuant should cost one less mana and have a +1/-1 ability instead of +1/+0

I completely disagree with leon_raymond: yes, she is.

Red: I'm biased, but I vote Quakespawn. Paying for flow is not cheap. Therefore, I see players gaining two tokens every three rounds, at best. That understood, I agree the tokens could be 3/1s or sacrificed at EoT. Not a fan of having both restrictions. It is a rare after all.

Really like Uneven Flow and Dragonsoul, but I think they need more tweaking.

Green: I vote Meadow Dancer. Love the ability. Love the name, though I can't really see an elk mutant being labeled a "dancer". Can't be countered is consistent with the other popular elk: great-sable-stag. Perhaps give it protection from black?

Red/Green: I vote Fluctuant. Love the name and flavor. It's got versatility, but I agree the cost needs to come down. If you're paying 6 for an enchantment, it should be a finisher.

@SupremeAlliesCommander Thanks for voting for Fluctuant, but you mentioned that if you pay 6 for an enchantment, it should be a finisher. Fluctuant is a creature. just a typo?

Sorry! Yes, that was a brain spasm on my part.

Red: I really like Quakespawn, but I think that the tokens should be 5/1s with haste and be sacrificed at the end of turn!

Green: Meadow Dancer!! Very cool ability with the +x/+x. Like others said, it should be a bit harder to kill. So maybe add shroud or regenerate or something else!

Gold: Being the submitter of Symbiotic Meltdown, I have to vote for it. The original entry had the creatures turning into 0/1s with no abilities, rather than destroying, but in the end, I like this exile idea. Exile the highest power, then when their are no creatures on the battlefield, return them all to play tapped. Nice idea!!!

@BrownDog5117 I think 5/1's are pretty ridiculous. I think they should be more that just 3/1's though and that why I said in my first post that I think they should be 3/1's with haste AND trample.

well.. idk.. i think they should be sacked at the end of turn because they're elementals.. so maybe make them 5/1s but increase the casting cost of the card? anyways, sick card!!!

That's almost Ball Lightning from a can. At 3/1, it's a Hellspark Elemental with the ability to be triggered by flow numerous times, instead of having unearth.

Let's keep in mind... Quakespawn won't trigger on your opponent's turn. It won't trigger if you cast an instant, sorcery, or enchantment. It only triggers when you cast a creature AND you pay that creature's flow cost. Which is to say: not very often.

Is there any one place on the site where we can view all the Irindu concept cards at once?

Not yet. and flow happens at instant speed. So say with a lvled Enclave Cryptologist you can draw and cast flow cards at instant speed.

Thanks for the answer.

Flow may happen at instant speed, but Quakespawn reads "Whenever you pay the flow cost on a CREATURE card..." I think that's a significant limitation and if folks haven't noted it, they may be overrating the card.

Doh! Nevermind. I completely misconstrued the flow mechanic. I just reread it and see my mistake. Thanks for correcting me.

Fine! I'm voting

Red: Irindu Shaman. Great concept. I like cards that support others. This card seems like the best contender. The only flaws I see are the ratio of mana cost to PT. 1RR for a 1/1? It doesn't even have haste! Make the ability non-tap activated. Its riddiculous to think the player will have the mana required to play its ability on turn 4... I think it has the most potential if there were the following changes:

Irindu Shaman 2RR 2/2

Creature - Shapeshifter Shaman

G: Put a +1/+1 counter on target creature. U: Target creature gains flying until end of turn. R: Target creaure gains haste until end of turn.

---

Green: Medow Dancer. I like the concept. Maybe make it a 2/2 and give it super shroud instead. So:

Medow Dancer 1GG 2/2

Creature - Elk Mutant

Medow Dancer can't be the target of spells and abilities your opponents control.

Whenever a flow cost is paid, Medow Dancer gets +X/+X until end of turn where X is the amount of mana spent to pay that flow cost.

RG: I like my own
