Challenge: Turn this adorable little gremlin into a legendary creature.

For those wondering, as of now there are 17 leyline cards and 9 experience counter cards, giving you a healthy base of 26 cards to work with.

You could reasonably pad the deck with all 26 and still have plenty of room to fill out the rest.

Talk about a Turn 0 wincon lmao

Meant as Leyline commander. However she works wonders as an WUBRG "experience counters matters" Commander too.

Idk how I feel about the "any time you could cast an instant" clause that is actually proper wording based on other cards in the game.

If it's my first main phase, the stack is empty and nothing to respond to... technically I could cast an instant right then and there.

But you guys (and gals?) know what I mean

I am legitimately surprised this sat all day lol

Oh! Wrestler is a subtype thanks to Slaying Mantis!!

Make your choice of:

• Hulk Hogan
• The Undertaker
• Dwayne The Rock Johnson
• John Cena

Give whomever you make Tag Team. You don't have to put in the reminder text as that'll be similar to Partner, Partners With and Choose a Background where it's the same for everyone.

Bonebreaker Valley

Land - Mountain Plains

Bonebreaker Valley enters the battlefield tapped unless you lost 5 or more life during your last turn.

: Add or .

, : Transform Bonebreaker Valley and untap it.

Bonebreaker Giants

Creature - Giant

Haste

At the end of turn, transform Bonebreaker Giants and tap it. If Bonebreaker Giants would die, return it to the battlefield transformed and tapped instead.

5/6

Too much? A tutorable land that has a (relatively) easy means to have it ETB untapped that can become a decent body that remains on the field if it dies?

Sounds like it could be a cycle, but honestly any color combination would just follow the same suit and change what, the keyword(s), cost and type? Yeah, not worth making it into a challenge.

Oh screw it, lets have some fun here.

Make Donald Trump into a legendary character; He must make Wall tokens.

Lmao I botched it anyway. I mistook Nactal as a Coatl hahaha

That's who my God is supposed to be. Hopefully the design makes more sense now!

Naztl, God of Endless Horizons

Legendary Creature - Nactal God

Flying

Each player may play an additional land each turn.

Lands you play enter the battlefield untapped.

Lands each opponent plays enters the battlefield tapped.

3/4

Make another God with another (ideally mythological) creature type

Titan Engine

Legendary Artifact - Vehicle

Affinity for planeswalkers

Indestructible, trample, vigilance

Titan Engine gets +1/+1 until end of turn for each planeswalker that crews it.

Whenever Titan Engine attacks or blocks, you may activate a loyalty ability of up to one planeswalker who is crewing it.

Crew 5 (Tap any number of planeswalkers you control with total loyalty 4 or more. This vehicle becomes an artifact creature until end of turn.)

7/6

Not that tapping a Planeswalker has any real in-game effect or consequence, but hey rules are rules.

Make a Planeswalker card for Azor, the Lawbringer. He's the Sphinx that went to Ixalan and lost his spark in the efforts to make the plane a prison as to trap Nicol Bolas using The Immortal Sun

Love it, well done

Zombie Squirrel

Creature - Zombie Squirrel

Defender, deathtouch

Dredge 3

1/3

In my mind I was imagining a squirrel who was smushed by a car lol

Okay so here's a fun one.

Make Urza as a Planeswalker with the following restrictions:

• His casting cost must be . You are allowed to give him cost reduction such as affinity for artifacts.
• He must have 1 static ability, such as cost reduction, and 4 other loyalty abilities that are justifiable for that mana value
• That said, he must be actually printable. This means all text must be able to fit onto a real card. So keep that in mind while wording him
• Lastly, his ultimate should win you the game without just saying "You win the game."

Invoke Calamity

Sorcery

Choose one:

• Destroy all nonland permanents.
• Destroy all lands.

Entwine (Choose both if you pay the entwine cost.)

Make another Entwine card.

Electroplasm Reservoir

Artifact

Whenever you discard one or more cards, create a 2/2 blue and red Weird creature token and put a +1/+1 counter on it for each card you discarded.

, : Discard up to two cards, scry by the same amount and then draw that many cards.

I wanted to try and be clever and make a creature token with a new subtype called Unique, but I'm mentally exhausted so I made Weird tokens instead.

In our D&D session tonight, we encountered a Vampire. She had been reduced to ash and contained within an urn inscribed with runes to hold her back like a prison. Well ahem SOMEONE decided that it's "just an urn" and picked it up, accidentally dropped it and now the entire group is enthralled by her...

Well anyway, the mini that the DM used was more of like a Demonic Vampire Naga.

She had the long tendril snake body, that was bloody red like exposed muscle. She sprouted massive torn leathery bat wings, and has the top half of her body as a woman's torso, arms and head. Clearly vampiric in nature, but again exposed muscle and bloodied flesh.

Make her.

We don't have a name for her, so just make one up.

Blood for Blood

Sorcery

As an additional cost to cast this spell, sacrifice a creature or Planeswalker. You gain life equal to its power or loyalty.

Might feel cheesy but hey, that's pretty Rakdos all things considered.

But let's repeat just to be safe.

Make a Dryad Pirate next

And Avatars are essentially aspects of reality given physical form.

Forgot those are a thing, also

Interestingly enough, Angels (within the context of MTG) are somewhere between Elementals and Avatars as they are compressed mana from leylines, mostly white mana, given physical form.

It's basically when a leylines compresses mana into an idealized form to protect the plane itself.

Essentially guardians of the plane, that the plane created by itself, from itself, for itself.

Demons actually spawn from The Blind Eternities, if you could believe it.

So a Golem is a Hebrew entity, usually formed out of dust, clay or loose rock, that serves its creator. Typically their purpose and sole function is to guard a location. They essentially remain silent until acted upon. I could see one lasting eons, having been long forgotten...

It should be noted:

• Constructs are mechanical, artificial beings that are artifacts
• Elementals are natural composites of nature with true freedom, life and will
• Golems are made of natural materials imbued with magic, but are essentially slaves

Yavsila, The Ancient Guardian

Legendary Creature - Elder Golem

Defender, indestructible, ward

Whenever an opponent targets or attacks you or Yavsila, Yavsila loses defender and gains both double strike and vigilance.

Eons passed without so much as a tread in the Tomb of Uranouro. With layers of silt and dust so thick as to blend it back into the walls it was formed from, Yavsila waits to finally serve its purpose...

7/5

Sort of a "Fuck around and find out" style card.

Repeat

So, followup question.

What becomes the default now?

Do tokens inherently now have a mana cost of unless otherwise stated?

In a pedantic sense, a mana cost of is different from no value. One could make the argument that is a numerical value representing the lack of information contained within a set.

• If I have 5 apples and 6 oranges, how many bananas do I have? 0. I have no bananas contained within my set of fruit.

Then again, saying it has no cost means that anything which would impact -costs won't be seen. As an example, Culling Ritual hits everything with mana value 2 or less. If some tokens now have values and some do not, how are the ones inherently created without it handle this? Do the tokens created with Krenko, Mob Boss die to it?

Because now you potentially open up this can of worms;

• Your tokens die, too.
• No, they don't.
• Mana value 2 or less. Your tokens have .
• No, they don't have a mana value.
• Right, that's zero. Less than one.
• No, it's undefined. There isn't one.
• But they are zero!
• Show me where it says zero on the card!
• THEY ARE ZERO
• They don't list themselves as enchantments, do they? Because THEY AREN'T ENCHANTMENTS!
• We aren't talking about Enchantments!
• Exactly! We are dealing with part of an identity. My tokens HAVE NO MANA VALUE AS THEIR IDENTITY

Because, realistically speaking...

Undefined =/= Zero

They are not synonymous with each other...

I can't remember where I read it before, and it may have been in flavor text on some card, but I'm pretty sure the linen wrappings of The mummy almost calm the zombie down and make it subservient. If I recall there was cards that depicted a mummy with the linen wrapping taking off, and the zombie was more aggressive than usual. I also recall that a linen wrapped mummy essentially was obedient to the vizier that performed the ritual. Something about the vizier bestowed upon the mummy almost an occupation, and the mummy would tirelessly and endlessly work this occupation without fail. However if disturbed, the mummy would become hostile.

In other words, if a mummy was created for the sole purpose of harvesting grapes as an example, and while this mommy was harvesting grapes somebody came up and shoved The mummy, that mommy would very likely attack the person until that person was killed. Whether or not a resumes harvesting grapes, or goes on a rampage, who's to say?

Normally we would never count the dead as survivors. If that was the case, Innistrad would be the most enduring plane in existence, even ahead of Dominaria.

But I believe we can safely count Amonkhet as an exception for three reasons:

1.) The magic that keep mummies "alive" is intrinsic to the plane. There is no necromancy involved here. The magics of the plane do this, and the ceremonial wraps help to contain and reign the dead in. This leads to---

2.) The mummies are indentured servants who legitimately help and do good. They aren't just for stacking blocks of sandstone. They also farm, tend livestock, look after communities, etc. For all purposes, they preform a net positive for their society.

Lastly,

3.) We know that Glistening Oil can and will compleate anything. This includes the dead. So in my opinion, any mummy that didn't become a Phyrexian slave, "survived". No different than any Elemental on Zendikar that wasn't compleated "survived".

So I would safely put both the mummified population and the living population into the same boat, thereby making Amonkhet the exception to the rule.

But ONLY the mummified ones. The poor souls who are beef jerky out in the desert, those are just your typical run-of-the-mill hangry zombies. They don't count, to me.
