Sacrifice 2 permanents: destroy target legendary creature, put a token of that creature onto the battlefield and gain "If a card with same name as this token enters the battlefield, sacrifice it and this token." If both tokens, that enter the battlefield from this ability's effect, enter under your control, they (lose/are not) legendary. Play this ability only as a socery.

Sorry if the last one's wording is a bit hard to understand, I've been working on it and I believe that the wording means that if the creature is not yours, it will die, if it is yours, you get two tokens of a legendary creature that stay.

Could we make a rare land?

Vitalitys growth

Instant

GW

Choose one - Gain life equal to two times the number of lands that came into play this turn; or for each life you gained this turn, search your deck for a basic land card and put it into play tapped.

Suntouched Warrior 1WG

Creature - Elf Soldier

Vigilance, Momento

If this creature is a token, it gains intimidate.

Blessed with light, yet still they return to their clan a shadow of their former selves

3/2

Vitality's Growth is broken.

Not to bash, or anything, but it is.

Increase it's cost by 1 maybe?

It is a rare for a reason and you would have to run life gain stuff to use it which means you couldn't really use it for much before 4th turn or so. You have to consider that you also have to gain life somehow which costs mana as well and has to be played that turn with it. It's really not a whole lot better than rampant growth until later in the game and it's harder to play... or is that just me?

Sacred Rebirth

1WW (3CMC)

Enchantment

Whenever an opponent pays life, you may gain that much life.

For every life sacrificed by the dark, there will be salvation.

Elixir of Immortality with Vitality's Growth would give you a total of nine lands at the end of your fourth turn, for example.

That's not to say that this imaginary set would have Elixir of Immortality , but cards are often printed with similar (if not better) abilities.

Hell, even Kabira Crossroads is 2 fetched lands on the third turn (or second turn with a Birds of Paradise ). It's Harrow for 2 mana without the land-sac.

card:Nature's Claim, Oust , Rest for the Weary (my personal favorite, lol), Viridian Harvest , card:Whitesun's Passage, so on and so forth.

Again, this isn't to bash you or your card, or anything like that. I'm just pointing out a Mental Misstep in the design.

Would it be better costed at 3 cmc or 4? It just seems so underwhelming at that point.

What if the life is divided by 2 rounded down before you search?

Perhaps just adding mana to your mana pool would be better than fetching lands and putting them right into play.

Something like, "Add 1 (colorless) to your mana pool equal to the amount of life you gained this turn."

I feel like adding even just all of one color would open up huge wormhole-like combos into things like turn-3 Titans and card:Sorin's Vengeance.

Slight adjustment to the wording in shrine makers, because how it's phrased right now both tokens would die as they entered the battlefield:

"it gains "If a spell with same name as this token is successfully cast onto the battlefield, sacrifice it and this token.""

Vitality's Growth is absolutely sick I love that card

Vitalitys growth

Instant

GW

Choose one - Gain life equal to two times the number of lands that came into play this turn; or search your deck for X basic land cards and put them into play tapped where X is how much life you gained this turn divided by two and rounded down.

I think that this is still a solid card that doesn't do a lot early game but is great mid to late game. I don't feel that it is now broken. Thanks for pointing out it's flaws zandl

To replace Father's Momento:

Battle Crazed Centaur - Creature Centaur (2WW)

All creatures must attack each turn if able.

All other white creatures have memento.

 Rite of Preservation

W

Sorcery

Until end of turn, each zombie creature that enters the battlefield comes into play with a soul counter on it. Creatures with soul counters on them are white and have "Remove a soul counter from this creature: Regenerate this creature."

@nightscape Do you really want to hose black on the green-white-black shard?

@nightscape Nevermind. I missed the "target opponent" part.

@dude1818 Yeah as it is now you gain the most benefit if playing all 3 colors. My concern is the casting cost. What do you think, too much or too little?

Also that wording might be a bit sketchy.

If anything, that card gets more powerful, not less, as its cost goes up. I'm not sure if you can count the number of mana spent each turn; it would be less powerful, but maybe use a wording like on Glissa Sunseeker ?

Whoops, made a mistake with one of the cards I suggested. Should be for Gladeparters Council:

Gladeparters Council (2GGG)

Sorcery

Skip your next attack phase. Your opponent skips their next attack phase. Each player loses 1 life for each non-green creature on their side of the battlefield, and then gains 1 life for each green creature on their side of the battlefield.

So you're saying something like this...

2W

Instant

You gain 1 life for each (W) and (G) in your mana pool.

Target opponent loses 1 life for each (B) in your mana pool.

Until end of turn, whenever a player spends (B) on spells or abilities, target opponent loses 1 life.

That wording, however, no longer causes it to trigger from itself and might require lowing the cost by 1.

Elves of Anarchy G

Creature - Elf Druid

T: Add G, W or B to your mana pool. You lose 1 life.

Sacrifice Elves of Anarchy: Target creature gains Momento until end of turn.

They have no leader. They follow none.

Momento

When Elven Nurturer goes to the Graveyard, put a +1/+1 counter on target non-token creature. It gains Momento.

@oltskul - you are correct. i meant it to be understood that hybrid mana and flip cards and such could not be used as they were not evergreen mechanics. i should have written it out though because you are correct that it was not clear at all in the description.

Glad that you resubmitted new cards so that we can take a look at your designs. Sorry for the inconvenience. I will be more careful of that with the next challenge areticle

Entry One:

Gladeparter Savior 1WG

When Gladeparter Savior comes into play if you control fewer creatures than target opponent you may a 1/1 green saproling creature token into play, If you have less life than an opponent you may gain three life, and if you have fewer lands than an opponent you may search your library for a basic land card and put it into play tapped.

BTW, this mana symbs: ie: (W/G) may be used on cards/abbilities?

or further redesign is in question?:)

After looking at one of my previous submissions, Sun's Breach, I realize the wording is sketchy, and would like to resubmit it as follows.
