I have been working on a handful of cards in BRG for a theme based on my Plansewalker story. First Question I have to ask, how do I add pictures to the text?

It is intended to be talking about the cards I have made. But I do not know how to included the pictures to be available for viewing in this thread.

You can simply tell us what the card is, line by line :)

As I said, use the image shortcode in the text editor or use HTML to embed them. If the images aren't online, you need to host them somewhere like imgur or photobucket first.

Ok. The first, and most important would be Plansewalker of me.Edwin Black 2BRG+2 Distrubte two +1/+1 counters on up to two creatures you control. Those creatures gain haste until end of turn.-3 Put a +1/+1 counter on target creature you control. Then that creature fights target creature you don't control.-9 You get an emblem with "Whenever a creature you control dies, it deals damage equal to it's power to target creature."Initial loyalty of 4.

Seems worse than Domri Rade when you consider it costs 2 more mana. Also it's very RG but not very B.
The main weakness of this card is that you're paying 5 mana for something that literally does nothing if you have no creatures straight away that's a problem.
The +2 isn't awful and the fact that it puts it up to 6 loyalty is nice. It could be a tad stronger considering the investment. Maybe add trample?
The -3 could be a -2. It's a but too weak when you consider how many counters you have to remove.
The ultimate is actually really bad. You can get around it with exiting and it does literally nothing to control deck thats play no creatures. If it counted going to graveyard or exile and it hit opponents THEN it would be worthy of being an ultimate. However that would be really powerful.

I actually really like it. It's not too powerful but not underpowered. I would make one change though: the last ability should maybe be a tince more powerful... maybe not though, your choice entirely.

In these colors, making creatures isn't usually too bad. I considered making it a copy of Stalking Vengeance, but thought that an emblem of that would prove too powerful.

I know but it's still a further investment. For your 5 mana you get literally nothing unless you've spent more mana AND have a creature currently on the board. That's not great.

I had at one point the +2 make a token. 2/2 flying dragon token. The -3 I was hoping to make some sort of creature removal, without being Vraska kill. Do you think the emblem being creature or player would make it too powerful?

Maybe the minus can be some sort of a tutor? Like "Search your library for a creature card with CMC of X or less, where X is..." sort of thing?

The removal is fine. The + ability could receive a slight buff. Look at what Garruk, Primal Hunter and Sarkhan Unbroken do for their costs.

+2 Distribute Two +1/+1 counters on up to two target creatures. Those creatures gain haste and trample until end of turn.-3 Put two +1/+1 counters on target creature, then that creature fights target creature you don't control.-9 You get an emblem with "Whenever a creature you control dies, it deals damage equal to it's power to target creature or player.

Is this going to turn into a discussion of the cards you made or is this a question about how the site works?
I don't know what you mean by "add pictures to the text." I assume you want to embed a picture in a post, in which case you use the picture icon in the text editor or embed the picture with HTML.
