Artaka, evolution's pinnacle... 3gruw : elemental : artaka has all keywords creatures you control have. artaka has power equal to the creature with the highest power's +3. same for toughness. 3 (w/g) (b/r); search your deck for a creature that has a keyword on it that artaka doen't. put that creature into your hand.this ability also trigggers when artaka ids turned face-up. Morph: 5gruw. : x/x.__so, what do yoyu think? what needs to be changed? please leave comments.
Don't have to be a troll; it's simple enough to read if you have any modicum of patience.

Triple strike isn't a keyword. Also that's a lot of text. I don't mean the post i mean the cards

the first one (sorry for no image)
NAMENAMENAME 
Legendary creature: elemental warrior
NAMENAMENAME can't be equipped and enchantments that target him cost 2 more to cast.
triplestrike, haste, flash
: NAMENAMENAME gets +2/+0 until end of turn.
1/4
Artaka, evolution's pinnacle 
Legendary Creature: elemental
artaka has all keywords creatures you control have.
artaka has power equal to the creature with the highest power's +3. The same is true for toughness.

; search your deck for a creature that has a keyword on it that artaka doen't. put that creature into your hand.this ability also trigggers when artaka is turned face-up.
Morph:
x/x.
I think this is how you meant it?

Ok so commentary on the cards:
The first one is just weak dude. for a 1/4 is pretty bad, but you can't power him up at all using artifacts and enchantments? Fuck that. Not to mention triple strike is not a key word since you have no clue when the damage (the third amount of damage) would be dealt. Also the haste and flash are an interesting combo and kinda make him versatile. But 
to give only him +2/+0 isn't worth it. If anything give at least 2 more toughness, make it double strike, make the activated ability either do more like all creatures getting +3/+0 or cheapen it by like 4 and maybe add in trample and take out the equip/enchant clause and then we have something.
Atarka is interesting. I would say it's a little too powerful. You should define the abilities you want. (Look at Concerted Effort and Soulflayer for help there with wording). But instead, define its power and toughness at the bottom as 3+x/3+x. Second, don't make it a tutor ability for the activated ability. Maybe a look at the top X cards of your library, where X is Atarka's power. (kinda like a Brainstorm effect.) Finally I'd say the morph isn't worth it. And it feels like it has more Black influence than White. Like it could be 
.
Overall, good first try but they may need some work. I'd like playing them honestly.

Thank you dbpunk, that makes it much clearer now!
Anyways, I agree with you on the first card. Ignoring the fact that triple strike doesn't exist, 5 mana for a 1/4 would be ok if that included auras and equipment shenanigans, but it not having anything just makes the card pretty useless. The booster will never be used unless you have infinite mana, and if that's the case, you probably won't dump it into this guy.
Artaka is a pretty interesting (definitely reminds me of Soulflayer) but for two things. First off, why no black? I mean, if it has that kind of power, make it five colors! Second off, take off the morph ability. Playing this on T4 is pretty beast and Cloudshift insures that.
Keep it coming!

Tried to clean up the wording a little. Atarka's unmorph ability really doesnt make sense at all.

Being really picky here, but it would probably be "Search your deck for a creature that has a keyword on it that Artaka doesn't have" because it just makes more sense.

copy/pasted from thread haha. just a rough estimate. My point was there's too much text on atarka

Ok so wouldnt just any keyword get broken and a little useless up to a point? Like searching for something with exploit or bolster wouldn't help much.

Wouldn't Artaka's power and toughness be infinite, because Artaka finds the highest power creature and then gains that power plus three. But then Artaka has the highest power, so gains its own power plus three. And so on forever.

Thats true. Maybe doing something like "highest power/toughness of any creature other than Atarka's"? Also lets say you play this in edh. Malignus and Blighted Agent being on the field could make this an instant win.

Wait.... Wut.... Can you make a thread, that is actually readable? I don't get what is creature, and what is abilities....
