Sorok Planeswalker Winner
Nekla, Noggle Tactician by xeratheenigma
A fine addition to the set, we all agreed that we would rock a deck with a playset of these.
Inspiration and creative parameters of Sorok
Sorok is a land of vast mountains, lush valleys, rushing rivers and large lakes.
Creatures of Sorok
Dwarves
Dwarves are the major power in Sorok. Their wizards and artisans use the gems and materials gathered by the miners to make powerful equipment. Dwarves are known to be stubborn, loyal, a bit ponderous, and resolute. Dwarves live in the mountains they are born from, having vast underground cities. Dwarven nomads search the tunnels for rareties and treasures, while Dwarven scouts keep an eye the other races.
Goblins
Not your average goblins by any means, the Goblins of Sorok are actually somewhat intelligent and restrained, if a bit out there. They have wizards and artisans that use pilfered materials to make equipment that is well, a bit risky. Their settlements are normally in the valleys, with tall (if shaky) homes. Goblin advisers are selected from the most intelligent of the tribes and mostly try and rein in the more outlandish ideas of the others.
Merfolk
The Merfolk of Sorok inhabit the deep clear lakes of Sorok using the rivers as fast transportation (at least downhill). While not as numerous as the Dwarves or Goblins, the Merfolk are well versed in the control magics and hold their own in the rare conflicts.
Noggles
Noggles are the red headed stepchild of Sorok. Living near the Goblins, they tend to be the pranksters, rabble-rousers, and thieves of the societies.
Birds
Birds are abundant in Sorok, both large and small. Everything from eggs to rocs in the high reaches.
Drakes
Drakes make their homes in the mountains and caves. Some drakes have been known to be raised from the egg by adventurous goblin riders.
Griffins
Griffins are one the major predators in Sorok, and have mostly driven the drakes off the high reaches. While not sentient, the Griffins are highly intelligent and serious in manner.
Themes/Keywords/Mechanics.
The major themes and keywords of Sorok are : Bounce, Colored Non-Creature Artifacts and Equipment, Counter-spelling, Double Strike, Flying, Haste, Legends, Resolve, and Vigilance.
Clamp has been renamed Resolve (Spells, counters, or abilities cannot change this creatures power and toughness from their printed values)
The Sorok Red Rare Challenge
The next challenge will be to create three of the rares for the Sorok shard. Obviously, there are some guidelines.
1) We are looking for three rares: Creatures, Enchantments, Instants, Sorceries. Remember that colored Artifacts/Equiptment are allowed, so go nuts.
2) They must all be Red.
3) Each person can only submit three entries. If you submit more than three, we will only take the last three submissions and ignore the earlier ones.
4) The cards will be judged based on four categories: Effectiveness, Set Cohesion, Balance, and Creativity.
Here are a couple of helpful things:
1) Remember that the only keywords that can appear on Sorok cards are the evergreen" keywords (deathtouch, defender, double strike, enchant, equip, first strike, flash, flying, haste, indestructible, intimidate, landwalk, lifelink, protection, reach, regenerate, shroud, trample, and vigilance). In addition to these evergreen keywords, the keyword that is exclusive to Sorok, Resolve (Spells, counters, or abilities cannot change this creatures power and toughness from their printed values), may be used.
2) We love to see people create their own physical pictures of the cards that they created. Often, they are great looking and really cool, and I encourage you to share them with us. But for our convenience, if you can also type the information directly into the comment, it makes our lives easier. You won't be marked down for not doing this, but copying and pasting text saves a lot of time compared to typing it all up from scratch.
3) Just a reminder, the winning cards may be changed. Be it mana cost or other small things to make the set balanced, your original creation may not be EXACTLY what it was originally, but I promise that we will try our hardest to keep the card as close to its origins as possible.
HAVE FUN CREATING!
The deadline for the Challenge is Friday, January 14th, 2010 at 11:59 p.m. Thanks to everyone!
EDIT : forgot to add you can use colored artifacts as well.

xeratheenigma says... #5
i thought that when a creature is dealt lethal damage it is put into the graveyard not destroyed. so i think pyroruption would be worded:
"pyroruption deals 5 damage to X target creatures. when a creature dealt damage this way is put into a graveyard this turn, you may destroy target artifact or land."

unrelated to the challenge: what happened to the idea to alter Nekla, Noggle Tactician's last ability to read 'non-land permanents'? I think that was a really good idea, as it keeps your deck playable instead of potentially switching all your lands for lands that produce mana you can't use.

will possibly make an edit on it later.
Team- The intro was unclear to me. Did you mean that it would easier for you if we did not just enter in the name of a concept card we've made, and instead typed it all into the comment box? The stuff about pictures was confusing.
January 11, 2011 1:33 a.m.
@ vic - yeah it is a bit easier for the card text to be in the comment box. makes copying and pasting into a database a bit easier

Armageddon is a card already, just a heads up. Also you can look to Apocalypse for inspiration.
I've noticed a lot of -X/-X, sacrifice, bounce and such in these entries. Think red folks!
January 12, 2011 12:19 p.m.
Staff of Goblin Devouring
Artifact / Equipment
CMC: 3RR
When Staff of Goblin Devouring enters the battlefield, search your library for a Goblin Card with 2 power or less and put it into play.
Whenever Staff of Goblin Devouring is unequipped and there is a goblin on the battlefield, equip Staff of Goblin Devouring to target goblin.
Equipped creature is a Wizard has Haste and R,R,Tap,Sacrifice this Creature: Deal damage equal to 2 times the sacrificed creatures power to target creature or player.
Flavor Text: Gorak couldn't resist the pull of the commanding staff; Upon picking it up he felt power surge through him, only his friends saw it surge out.
An interesting Artifact Equipment I think. It embraces Red's destructive, reckless feel. Another thing I like about it is that it's a risky piece of equipment that these Goblins made out of stolen materials, so risky that it eventually kills the wielder and beckons another to pick it up.
An interesting thing to note is that the artifact has no equip cost attached. The only way to equip it is to have a goblin on the field when this equipment is unequipped. Basically the only way to unequip it is to lose the equipped creature.
My reasoning for this is that I wanted to give the card a feel of possession. The staff is an intelligent artifact that basically owns/possesses whatever Goblin it's equipped to.
Hope you like the card and if you have a problem with anything about it feel free to change it.
January 12, 2011 11:16 p.m.
3rd entry: (I wanted to make a Where Ancients Tread for land dest.)
Instability
Enchantment
RR1

I'll change Armageddon then to this:
End of Days
Sorcery RRR3
End of Days deals X damage to each creature where X is that creatures toughness. End of Days then destroys all lands on the battlefield. End of days then deals Y damage to each player where Y is half that players life total, rounded down.
This seems pretty red to me.

Resurrector_of_the_Soulslayer says... #61
Mpz5: Your staff of goblin devouring is a great idea. How tho do you first equip it? Maybe you mean it auto equips to a goblin if one is in play? An idea would be it equips to a goblin in play with the lowest power? If tied chose one. This I feel gives the staff the choice of where it will be equipped instead of u just picking a goblin in play.this gives ur opponent a little strategy to think hmm he might want to keep that 2/2 goblin cus it does blank so in response to it being unequiped I will giant growth ur 1/1 token! Now ur 2/2 is lowest power and in order for u to use the staff again u must sac that goblin u have been saving. And maybe just R to activate might make it feel stronger. This way ur not putting it on some pumped 8/1 goblin sacing it doing 16 dmg. What do u think? After all this talk about it I'm really likeing these new ideas lol maybe u should make one that devours any kind of creature this way u can have a more versatile deck. Or not lol

Legendary Dwarf Barbarian
3/1
Resolve,double strike,haste,trample
If (cardname) does not attack this turn (cardname) deals three damage to it's controller at the beginning of this turn's end step.This damage cannot be prevented.
During your upkeep pay (R).If upkeep is not paid (cardname) becomes tapped.
January 13, 2011 2:19 p.m.
I mostly wanted to stick to the goblin theme since they are a theme of Sorok. The wording on the card makes it's equipping a triggered effect that has to happen if it's not equipped and there is a goblin that you control on the field.
The idea is that there is no switching which creatures it's equipped to until you sac the current one. The difficult part about playing this card is that the opponent can force the equipment onto a specific Goblin by killing all other goblins.
After thinking about it, it does need a few changes so here is the updated version:
Staff of Goblin Devouring
Artifact / Equipment
CMC: 3RR
When Staff of Goblin Devouring enters the battlefield, search your library for a Goblin Card with 2 power or less and put it into play, then shuffle your library.
Whenever Staff of Goblin Devouring is unequipped and there is a goblin on the battlefield, equip Staff of Goblin Devouring to target goblin.
Equipped creature is a Wizard has Haste and R,Tap,Sacrifice this Creature: Deal damage equal to 2 times the sacrificed creatures power to target creature or player.
Flavor Text: Gorak couldn't resist the pull of the commanding staff. Upon picking it up, he felt power surge through him; only his friends saw it surge out.

"Take cover, Drot has just entered the battle!"
-Last words of Snog Irolth.
This card is most definitely red at it's finest... A powerful but extremely risky ability attached to a quick weak creature.
Imagine the fear this guy must evoke for both his enemies and allies alike. He calls down meteor strikes but his limited understanding of the magic he invokes makes his attacks not so very... accurate.

Name: Flame of Consuming
Enchantment
CMC: R
If Flame of Consuming becomes the target of a blue spell or ability sacrifice it.
During each upkeep put a flame counter on Flame of Consuming, when Flame of Consuming has 4 flame counters on it, sacrifice it and put a 4/1 Elemental creature with Haste, Double Strike, Resolve, Protection from White, Protection from Red, Protection from Black, Protection from green, and Trample into the battlefield.
When this card goes from the field to the graveyard you take damage equal to the flame counters on this card, this damage can not be prevented.
Flavor text: In Sorok, if a fire burns too long it takes a life of it's own.
An interesting enchantment I think. Blue Hoses it completely but if they have no blue in their deck they are in trouble if this hits and they can't deal with it.
Earliest the elemental can hit the field without proliferation is 5th turn of the game and when it hits it deals 4 Damage to it's controller. If they destroy it before it goes off you take damage as well so it's pretty dangerous to play.
A huge risk, a huge payoff if they have no blue or field wipe since they will have no way short of artifacts to deal with it.

I think that some of these cards, such as Reactive Metals, could also be considered to trigger on Gemstones, instead of artifacts(in several cases a card would be both). In the case of this example, it would probably mean a name change.
Just wanted to throw out a reminder about the brainstorming ideas, in this case, the Gemstone theme.
