Creature Versions of Enchantments

Custom Cards forum

There are a number of enchantments in this game that are excellent, but rely upon creatures to achieve their full potential, and thus do nothing or little on their own. Therefore, I have created several creatures that have the abilities of certain enchantments, but can be of use to their controller immediately, and the results of my work are as follows.

Angel of Dominion Show

Angel of Dominion

Casting Cost:

Creature - angel

Power/toughness: 6/6

Flying, lifelink.

At the beginning of your upkeep, return target creature from a graveyard to the battlefield under your control.

Infernal Tormentor Show

Infernal Tormentor

Casting Cost:

Creature - demon

Power/toughness: 6/6

Flying, trample.

At the beginning of each end step, each opponent loses life equal to the life that he or she already lost this turn.

You may beg him for mercy, but he shall not grant it to you; your death shall be slow and painful.

Sunspire Sentinel Show

Sunspire Sentinel

Casting Cost:

Creature - human soldier

Power/toughness: 2/2

Creatures that you control have vigilance.

Each creature that you control may block an additional creature.

Warstorm Elemental Show

Warstorm Elemental

Casting Cost:

Creature - elemental

Power/toughness: 5/5

Whenever warstorm elemental or another creature enters the battlefield under your control, you may have that creature deal damage equal to its power to target creature or player.

Angel of dominion is very similar to Debtors' Knell, but that card has the problem of not doing anything the turn that it is cast, unless a player can somehow cast it during an opponent's turn. This creature, for one more mana, can at least be used to block when it is first summoned. I gave it lifelink because I felt that it seemed to be similar to Divinity of Pride in some ways.

Wound Reflection is very nice, but it has no way of making players lose life initially, so infernal tormentor can do that, for one more mana over the enchantment.

Sunspire Sentinel is simply Brave the Sands in creature form, for one more mana, since the enchantment has no effect on its own.

Warstorm elemental is Warstorm Surge for the same, albeit more color-intensive, cost, since that enchantment is also useless without creatures.

What does everyone else think of these creatures? Did I do well with them? Do any of them need to have their casting costs adjusted? In particular, should sunspire sentinel cost or ?

have you ever thought about, IDK, EVERY MAGUS form the timespiral block?

also, I'd make these maguses. I mean, cmon! gotta fit the established theme.

What DERPLINGSUPREME means to say DemonDragonJ is that the Time Spiral block had a theme of the Magus: each of them was something else as a critter. Time Spiral Magus were based on artifacts, Planar Chaos Magus were based on lands, and Future Sight Magus were based on enchantments.

These enchantment Magus are Magus of the Moat, Magus of the Future, Magus of the Abyss, Magus of the Moon, and Magus of the Vineyard.

I really have to ask: doesn't the flavor text on "Infernal Tormentor" kind of contradict his ability?
