JWiley129 green/white doesn't get hexproof and lifelink? Why?

Reload works by after you cast the card, it gets exile until your next upkeep. Then after you untap your mana you can pay the reload cost to use the next ability.
And yeah, I was thinking about making that card a 1/2. As for the 4/5. Would making it a 2/3 legendary creature better?
I realized that after I looked them over again. Would Elrand make more sense if he just had flash but make him a 5/5? Jik and Frel just Hexproof? For Treala, maybe switch her to red blue?
Also for swap, I forgot to add in that the change only lasts until EOT.
Thanks for your help :)

Elrand still doesn't do what you want since his ETB will bounce himself. Jik & Frel could have Vigilance, but not hexproof. Treala would make more sense as 
, but it's still way too good.
VampireArmy - Green gets hexproof, White gets lifelink, a 
hybrid card can't have both. A gold card can, since it's can do what both Green and White can do. But a hybrid card has to do what both colors can do. White can't do Hexproof and Green can't do Lifelink, that's why the hybrid card can't have those keywords.

hemko's +1 and and treala's -2 are insanely broken. hemko helps u with graveyard fun stuff and treala pretty much says play your best spell from your hand or graveyard for a measly 2 life. also that paladin of the new castle would be crazy op in standard. your power level on alot of these need toned down or balanced more

Rewording for Eldrand: When he enters the battlefield, return all creatures your opponent controls to their owners hand.
Up the cost of Treala to 5CMC and change the starting loyalty to 2 and her -2 to a -5?
And I just realized that I made Jik and Frel as a hybrid. I should definitely change it to just a gold card.

So, Reload is a type of Rebound? In that case you could just make it rebound and do something like "If this spell is cast from exile, you may pay X, if you do, ~ does Y instead." It's still super wordy, but would make more sense.

I see a lot of negative comments being thrown at the card's creator on these Custom Card threads, and I understand that a little tough love isn't a bad thing and it will help them grow and develop.. but add a little sugar to your salt gentlemen. I think these cards are cool and he obviously put a lot of thought into them. I like them.. just need to be reworked to balance power :)

JWiley129 Privileged Position would like a word with you.
August 16, 2015 3:14 p.m.
Privileged Position is taking a page out of Asceticism and Sterling Grove's book. However I'm 99% sure that wouldn't be a hybrid card in today's Magic.

Possibly. Just pointing it out to show there's precedence of it.
August 16, 2015 3:21 p.m.
Another thing to note, Privileged Position is all your permanents getting hexproof, not one specific. I could be convinced that G/W (Selesnya) gets global hexproof, but not specific hexproof.

@treevore Do you think switching the wording on Hemko's +1 to "Target opponent" would make it less powerful?

i think that the wording on Reload is messed up. Right now, you get both abilities on the second cast, which is definitely not what you want.

that would yes. and as for treala's minus it could be (-3): choose target instant or sorcery in your hand or graveyard, cast it for its mana cost and you may copy it, you lose life equal to its cost if you do. this way u keep the life loss but for a price u choose

First, how does Reload work? Your reminder text isn't very helpful.
Second, you need to work on your powerlevel balancing. Most of the cards you have there are WAY too good for their mana cost. A 3/3 for 3 that Pyroclasm's your opponents? A 4/5 for
that puts two 2/2's into play?
You also have some out of color pie cards like Elrand (
doesn't get Double Strike), Jik and Frel (
hybrid can't get hexproof and lifelink), and Treala (how does a 
card help you cast spells for free?).
