Here's my entry for the tournament. If you want to check it out, you can. If anything needs to be changed, let me know and I'll adjust accordingly.

It's Artorias! Yaaay!

Artorias seems...overpowered for its mana cost, but I'm indecisive. It's a similar effect to Alesha, Who Smiles at Death, but in MUCH more exploitable colors and without needing any activation cost. Plus the creatures don't come in attacking, meaning that they are much less likely to die. Plus it gets to happen on its first turn, even without an attack step. Plus it gets deathtouch, making it trade with much more expensive things while still regaining value from recasting it. Together these would suggest making it cost much more, maybe 2UBG or 3UBG. On the whole, it's somewhere comparable to having a Grave Titan as your commander.

On the other hand, there aren't THAT many good cards to recur with this that are less than 2 CMC...so maybe 1UBG or 2UBG is fair?

6tennis: Here you go!

That being said, we have to discuss this card. As described, and assuming that Shiva transforms into the same planeswalker above, you have made her even more broken.

Just WW?? For a planeswalker with those abilities? Which are not even in color at all? Which you'd originally costed at 2WW, and now given a ludicrously easy transform ability? Essentially, you have a 2-mana planeswalker coming in with 4 initial loyalty and two extremely early and powerful loyalty abilities.

This needs to be costed at 4 mana or more, or given a much trickier transform condition. I'm not trying to be critical of your card design, sorry :(

KalvinHobbez: I suggest that your commander actually be REDUCED in mana to 1RG or just RG. After all, it's about the same ability as Radha, Heir to Keld, and she's costed at 2CMC in the real game.

Oops, needs serious errata:

add "activate this ability only during your turn."

and we'll make it yeah, good eye.

I'll come up with flavor text soon, I promise.

Daedalus19876 says... #7

Actually, I think that 1WW would be fine with that condition, if you're okay with that.

Daedalus19876 says... #8

Do you want the card in modern, old, timeshifted, or futureshifted frame?

July 1, 2015 12:06 a.m.

HolyFalcon says... #9

Can you make this in futureshifted frame?

Selva, Ancient Explorer

3X, Tap: search your library for an enhcnatment or equipment card, reveal it, and put it into your hand. Shuffle your library. If you control 4 or more equipment, exile Selva, Ancient Explorer, then return her to the battlefield transformed.

2/3

Sure! Can you give me a copy of the art you used for your card?

July 1, 2015 12:28 a.m.

Daedalus19876 says... #11

Hey anyone, I can make custom versions of your cards for you if you want! Any style minus some of the very esoteric ones.

I can also make planeswalkers, if you want.

enter image description here

If you can fit the whole image, use the whole image.

July 1, 2015 12:32 a.m.

Daedalus19876 says... #13

The link is broken, I think. I can't reach whatever you tried to put there.

July 1, 2015 12:36 a.m.

enter image description hereenter image description here

These work? If so, use the portrait for the walker and the landscape for the nonwalker side.

July 1, 2015 12:41 a.m.

Daedalus19876 says... #15

They work, sort of? I can fit them easily, but the quality is low enough that it comes out looking weird. Do you have a higher-quality version you can upload to Imgur or somesuch?

July 1, 2015 12:45 a.m.

Daedalus19876 says... #16

The planeswalker side, that is. The other one's fine lol

July 1, 2015 12:45 a.m.

Daedalus19876 says... #17

Here ya go!

July 1, 2015 12:47 a.m.

HolyFalcon says... #18

Nope, I actually found these on Google Images and coincidentally there were two of the same character, one in a good walker pose and the other in a good card pose.

July 1, 2015 12:47 a.m.

HolyFalcon says... #19

Can you change it from X3 to 3X? :P

Also, can you add this flavor text:

I dream of other worlds, and I know they're out there, ready to be explored.

July 1, 2015 12:49 a.m.

HolyFalcon says... #20

Wait that wording is all weird, you replaced transformed with tapped and forgot the shuffle clause. :P

July 1, 2015 12:51 a.m.

Daedalus19876 says... #21

Oh jeez. It's too late in the evening lol. Will fix now.

July 1, 2015 12:52 a.m.

HolyFalcon says... #22

Thanks :P

July 1, 2015 12:54 a.m.

Daedalus19876 says... #23

And...I missed your earlier comment. Fixing AGAIN:

July 1, 2015 12:54 a.m.

Daedalus19876 says... #24

THAT one should be what you're looking for haha.

July 1, 2015 12:54 a.m.

Daedalus19876 says... #25

jk, lol. This wasn't in what you told me to put in, but I think it was missing:
