3/4

Sorcery

Each creature with a -1/-1 counter on it gets -X/-X where X is its toughness.

creature - ooze

During your upkeep if this card came into play before your previous upkeep put 2 -1/-1 counters on target creature you control.

4/3

Creature - Fish

When this card is sent from the field to the graveyard cards its controller reveals cards off the top of your library until you reveal an instant or sorcery card. You may then pay X life where X is that spells converted manna cost to cast the spell without paying its manna cost, otherwise put the revealed spell into your hand. Shuffle other cards revealed this way back into your library.

1/1

just wondering, will there be a green/black and green/blue rares competition?

@IronHead i love allergic reaction! and omen fish is fairly epic too but i think it could have flash. it would be a nice surprise for your opponent

@leon_raymond I'm assuming its just like the last shard (Irindu) so the next design challenge will be GU, GB, and GBU.

cool, thanks. just checking

i would assume so.

so far it has followed irindu's challenge setup exactly (excluding the planeswalker challenge) and if I'm correct it should be the next challenge that is posted after we vote for these rares

Instant

Put X -1/-1 counters on target creature

Enchantment - Aura

Cost: 3BB

Enchant Land

At the beginning of enchanted land's controller's upkeep, put a -1/-1 counter on each creature that player control

needs to be re-worded, but the whole point is that your opponent will begin to accrue -1/-1 counters before they can destroy the enchantment at sorcery speed. And that it's the land being enchanted, not the player, in case of Leyline of Sanctity , etc.

Cost: BU

Creature - Ooze

Whenever an opponent plays a spell, put a token into play that's a copy of Volatile Ooze

P/T: 1/1

I'm not sure whether or not this is too powerful. I was thinking of either changing the cost to 1BU or giving it 0 power if it was too powerful

Cost: U

Sorcery

Target player puts the top X cards of his or her library into his or her graveyard where X is twice the number of creatures you control

Pool of Birthing Cost: B,U (2 converted)

Enchantment:

Pool of Birthing enters the battlefield Tapped.

Note: If we upeed the casting cost by one colorless i think it could enter play untapped.

Multiplicity

UUU

Instant

Until the end of the turn, whenever a creature comes into play you may draw a card.

Ritual of Sacrifice

Cost: 1BU

Sorcery

Put an insect token named Maggot onto the battlefield.

Multi-kicker: Pay 5 life, Put an additional 4 insect tokens named Maggot into play.

Note: I like how this card can combo with Pulse of the Maggots

Ritual of sacrifice should read...

Put a 1/1 insect token named Maggot onto the battlefield

Rain Season

Enchantment

Cost: 4U

If a spell or effect would put a counter onto a permanent it puts twice that amount instead.

If a spell or effect would put a token into play it puts twice that amount into play instead.

Note: I wasnt sure if it could cost 4U or 5U.

Meliadoul, the Harbinger

Legendary Creature - Leech

3UB

Wither, Deathtouch

During your attack phase, choose a color. Target opponent exiles the top X cards of his or her library, where X is the number of creatures with wither attacking. For each card of the chosen color exiled this way, put a 1/1 black and blue leech creature token with wither into play under your control.

4/5

(Inspired by Oona, Queen of the Fae , which I think is conceptually perfect for U/B Ulgris. If we find that this isn't powerful enough, I was going to add the following abilities: XU: Target opponent places the top X cards of his or her library into their graveyard and/or XUBB: Exile X cards from target opponent's graveyard. Place that many 1/1 black and blue leech creature tokens with wither into play under your control.)

@Battlecry1986

I really like Rain Season.

Putrefy

Enchantment

BBB

Enchant target non-black permanent.

At the beginning of its controllers next upkeep, sacrifice enchanted permanent.

I feel rain season is strictly better than Doubling Season and that card is awesome so I think it should possibly be 4UU or at least 5U

@exarkun: there already is a card named Putrefy just thought id let you know

Rats! Let's change the name to... Infest :P Taken? Damn. Decompose is taken too!? Ugh.

Let's go with... Touch of the Decrepit.

And no wonder I liked Rain Season so much... knew it looked familiar lol.

@exarkun809 rot?

@exarkun809

i like idea behind Putrefy/Touch of the Decrepit

But, it doesn't feel like a rare.. more like a common at BBB.

If it cost 1B i could see it as a rare or uncommon level.

Take a look at Do or Die , card:Garza's Assassin, Royal Assassin or Wicked Pact these are all rare destroy type black cards.

Your card currently feels more like a crappy Doom Blade , Terror or Expunge

Also here are a few examples of Commons that are more powerful than you card as it is currently printed. Hideous End , Dark Banishing

Ulgris Bazaar

Cost: 2B

Sorcery

Choose one: Add GU to your mana pool; Destroy target tapped creature; or Sacrifice a Creature to Draw a card.

Rebound

Note: I like the versatility of this card its got everything you typical need in a given game (Removal, Mana diversification, Draw) But, the real gem of it is the Rebound.

@ xeratheenigma

is Rain Season better than Doubling Season ?

Rain season doubles everything where as Doubling season only doubles your stuff.

@Battlecry1986: You do realize that rebound and multikicker aren't evergreen right and the only non evergreen mechanic allowed in Ulgris is wither right?

1st entry:

Ulgrisian Fly - B (1cc)

Creature - Insect

Flying, Deathtouch

When Ulgrisian Fly is put into your graveyard from The battlefield, you may search your library for a card named Ulgrisian Fly, and put it into play. If you do, Shuffle your library.

P/T for Ulgrisian Fly:

1/1

my first entry is: mind-corrosion

honestly i do think rain season is better than doubling season. especially with wither doubling season made all of your creatures recieve double the -1/-1 counters where as with rain reason all creatures would recieve double the -1/-1 counters. and it should at least cost more than doubling season because counter/token production is usually greens thing and it affects all players.

im not saying i wouldnt mind playing it i would love to play it and so would graft decks as well.

"Well...that sucks."

5/3

@Battlecry1986 I'm liking the sound of Ritual of Sacrifice. Definitely works well with Pulse of Maggots. And i can see Rain Season as being an epic combo card.

@ilikeoldcardsbetter Ulgrisian Fly is wicked

@Jarrod_0067 I love the idea of a legendary lizard

my second entry will be : Cranial Gorger

my third entry is : Stifling Jelly

note: it possibly could lose shroud or i could raise the cmc by 1 or 2 what do you guys think.

@xeratheenigma I think that Stifling Lamprey is very powerful, but not over-powered. It can still be Pyroclasm ed and Wrath of God ed even if it keeps shroud. And by the looks of things, Ulgris will have several abilities which say "put a -1/-1 counter on all creatures target player controls" or something similar. So i think keep it as is, or make it 1/1 so it can be "swept" more easily.

I made Iguanid, Burrowing Thrinax + Giant Annelid specifically to combo with enter-the-battlefield and put-into-graveyard creatures. e.g. my fourth and final entry

Creature - Bat

Flash

Flying

When Deathchaser enters the battlefield, counter target activated or triggered ability. When Deathchaser is put into the graveyard from the battlefield, draw a card.

1/1

@leonraymond: i just wanted to make sure it wasn't OP or ridiculously broken and i think you cleared it up for me a bit.

and if any of you were curious the inspiration for Stifling Jelly is a mish mash of Damping Matrix and Stifle

yeah, it seems like a really good lockdown card. A card of this caliber will require some very epic artwork

i do agree that the art should be epic as well.

hmmmm... what to make for my final entry so many choices this one will be the toughest for me to come up with so far hopefully i will have posted my final entry by tomorrow.

2nd Entry

Virile Crayfish - 5UB (7cc)

Creature - Mutant Fish

Whenever Virile Crayfish is dealt combat damage you may put that many 0/1 Blue Fish tokens with islandwalk into play

Whenever Virile Crayfish deals combat damage to a player you may put that many 0/1 black fish tokens with swampwalk into play

7/7

@Battlecry1986

Touch of the Decrepit/Rot allow you to "putrefy" any nonblack permanent... not creature. This makes in much, much more valuable. I actually thought it was closer to overpowered than underpowered when I wrote it up. You can destroy any nonblack card on the board for BBB with a 1/2 turn delay. I would use that.

Revision to Putrefy/Touch of the Decripit/whatever:

Putricide

Enchantment

BBB

Enchant target non-black permanent.

At the beginning of its controllers next upkeep, sacrifice enchanted permanent. That player loses 2 life.

Last one:

Mist of Ulgris, Germinating Atrophy

Legendary Enchantment

2UB

At the beginning of your upkeep, put a -1/-1 counter on each creature on the battlefield.

Whenever a creature with a -1/-1 counter on it is put into a graveyard from play, put X 2/2 blue and black insect creature tokens with flying into play where X is that creature's printed toughness.

@ exarkun809

Dude, my bad. thats what happens when you spend more time responding to somthing then you did reading it. lol

It has come to my attention that some of the terms I used in previous posting are disallowed. These should not fit all rules.

Enchantment

Cost: 5U

If a spell or effect would put a counter onto a permanent it puts twice that amount instead.

If a spell or effect would put a token into play it puts twice that amount into play instead.

Cost: 1BU

Swamp Spider BBB

Creature-Spider

Double Strike, Deathtouch, Wither, Reach

2/3

Ulgris Spider

http://tappedout.net/users/ElementalMaster23/concept-cards/ulgris-spider/

@ilikeoldcardsbetter i really like the sound of virile crayfish. very epic.

@ElementalMaster23 Swamp Spider seems very over powered to me. Also, having wither and deathtouch is a little unnecessary. As much as i'm in favour of a black beatdown spider, i think it should have deathtouch removed, and should cost 2BB. and then it could maybe become an uncommon instead. I see ulgris' rares as being big on the effects side. A black beatdown spider, as epic as it is, is an uncommon in my view

1st Entry:

Widow of Vengeance 4BBBB (8 CMC)

Legendary Creature - Spider

(X)3BB: Exile Widow of Vengeance and any permenents you control. Target player exiles the top X cards from his or her library for each card exiled this way. For each permenent you exiled, you may play that many spells from the cards exiled by target player. You do not pay their mana cost.

4/6

Flavor text: She had lost much to the bog, and with her dying breath, took back all that was rightfully hers.

@Battlecry1986 Ritual of Sacrifice is a great idea, but wordy and overpowered. If I could make any changes, it would read like this:

Ritual of Sacrifice

Cost: 1BU

Sorcery

Put a 1/1 insect creature token named Maggot onto the battlefield.

When you cast Ritual of Sacrifice you may pay 5 life. If you do, put an additional four 1/1 insect creature tokens named Maggot onto the battlefield.

2nd Entry:

Endemic Antidote 1BU (3 CMC)

Enchantment

At the beginning of your upkeep, put a -1/-1 counter on target creature you control. If you do, put a +1/+1 counter on each other creature you control that shares a creature type with the creature you put the -1/-1 counter on.

Flavor text: Ulgris' poison shatters the weak and dilutes the mind of the strong. It works it's way through the ranks until all is consumed.

@Battlecry1986 I agree with Jarrod_0067, it should be re-worded slightly. I still love the card though.

@Leafs_suck i love both of these cards. Widow of Vengeance is EPIC! and Endemic Antidote will work really well with Ulgris. Also, if the Antidote doesn't make it into the rares, i reckon it would make a great uncommon if it was changed to a sorcery. (of course it would lose "at the beginning of your upkeep")

1UB

Enchantment

Plaguenull Pact

During your upkeep, target player puts the top X cards of his or her library into his or her graveyard, where X is the number of -1/-1 counters on permanents that player controls.

@leon_raymond Thanks. I made Widow of Vengeance legendary as well just to give her a really epic feeling, and also because people would have a chance to run Clone s or something for a spot removal of it, so people might have some way of removing it easier late game. The idea I had for Antidote is if Ulgris has almost no sentient life naturally, then it would probably take a group of people(or same race) to traverse it safer and that they would almost canabalize eachother to make sure the weak don't hinder the strong's survival and to also power them up before eventually killing them too.

@Leafs_suck oh i see. that makes antidote very fitting in terms of flavour. i could see that happening a lot on ulgris

Infested Excavation

2B

Sorcery

Put a -1/-1 counter on each creature your opponent controls. You may return a creature card with converted mana cost X or less from your graveyard to the battlefield, where X is the number -1/-1 counters put into play in this way.

3rd entry

Wudsy Toad - 1B (2cc)

Creature - Frog

Wudsy Toad gets +3/+3 and gains deathtouch as long as you control no other creatures with power greater than 2.

1/1

Poisoned Shores - XUB

Enchantment

At the beginning of your upkeep you may put X -1/-1 counters on each creature in play. If you do, put X 1/1 black fish tokens with wither onto the battlefield.

@ilikeoldcardsbetter okay sure. That seems like it could work. Make it enter the battlefield with X charge counters on it to make it easier to remember what X was.

3rd Entry:

Moldy Frog

BB (2 CMC)

Creature - Frog

BB - Sacrifice Moldy Frog: Target Player receives a poison counter. Target player then gives one of his or her creatures a -1/-1 counter if possible.

EDIT TO 3rd entry:

3rd Entry:

Moldy Frog

BB (2 CMC)

Creature - Frog

Wither

BB - Sacrifice Moldy Frog: Target Player receives a poison counter. Target player then gives one of his or her creatures a -1/-1 counter if possible.

1/1

Flavour text: Only in Ulgris can a frog's ribbit instill as much fear as a mage's scream.

@Leafs_suck i like idea of Moldy Frog, just we aren't using poison in Ulgris. just evergreen key words and wither. However, you could say, "BB - sacrifice Moldy Frog: Put 2 -1/-1 counters, divided as you choose, on any number of target creatures."

or

"BB - Sacrifice Moldy Frog: put 2 -1/-1 counters, divided as you choose, on one or two creatures target player controls"

This way, it gets around shroud and seems a little bit more like a rare.

Ohhhh I didn't know about the no poison, my bad.

I would have it:

"BB- Sacrifice Moldy Frog: Place a -1/-1 counter on target creature. If the player who controls target creature has other creatures with -1/-1 counters, add another -1/-1 counter to each of those creatures."

much better lol

@ Jarrod_0067 , I like the charge counter idea, that also makes it sound more MTG speak
