Erkehz, Hand of Retribution

Legendary Creature - Angel Warrior

Haste, Flying

You may cast ~ as though it had flash if a creature you control with power 3 or less died this turn.

When ~ enters, if it is not your turn, deal 5 damage to target opponent.

3/3

"For I am Retribution, and I am swift."

Would that I could get a boros angel in real life rn.... Make a different guild leader from Ravnica into the simic guild leader. No counter themes please

DemonDragonJ The pantheons are distinct but what you keep bringing up was (a while back) WOTC answering a real world question of "If Theros is all about the Greek pantheon, aren't Kaldheim, Amonkhet, just going to be the same versions of real world counterparts?" and WOTC said "No each of these sets will have unique identities, flavors, mechanics, etc." And I'd argue that's still the case.

And FWIW if an interplanetary world opened a portal to my home world to try and colonize it and then one of my dead, manipulated by bolas gods I chose to forsake stabbed a big phyrexian in the chest on the same day I learned worlds beyond mine even existed.... I'd say my faith would feel pretty malleable at that point.

Zinnia is busted and very fun.

Zinnia, a Hare Parent Apparently [Primer] if you're looking for any inspiration.

I assume Jetmir, Nexus of Revels would be fun too.

philias create a visiting/adjunct faculty of Strixhaven who is from another plane.

Roil-Surge Theorist

Creature - Merfolk Advisor

Whenever any landfall ability you control triggers for the first time each turn, draw a card and create a 4/4 Blue and Green Elemental Creature.

The first time a land enters your graveyard each turn, the landfall abilities of each creture you control are triggered.

"How can a plane defend itself? Does this mean each world possesses a level of sentience? These are the questions we will address in my class"

2/5

MarioTheSupah Anytime, I just love to help people build Brenard!

Renewed Solidarity just came out and is a fun piece for Brenard to play with if you're looking for a new toy!

Verbose Harper

Creature - Kor Bard Warlock

When you cast Verbose Harper, look at target opponent's hand. Choose a nonland card. That card costs more to cast for as long as you control this creature.

2/2

"Now, now, why play such a sad song? I shall sing you a tale worthy of your time"

Create a white/blue warlock creature

Dragonlord Qualnu

Legendary Creature - Elder Dragon

Flying, Ward

Creature and Enchantment spells you control have flash.

The first time you cast a spell on each opponent's turn, draw a card.

3/4

"'We will work together. I will accept nothing else.' -Dragonlord Qualnu"

Rotwing Rebirther

Creature - Phoenix Horror

Rotwing Rebirther can only block creatures with flying.

: This creature gains haste until end of turn.

You may cast Rotwing Rebirther from your graveyard.

3/1

Since we're getting a new Tarkir make us a dragon lord in enemy colors (simic, boros, izzet, orzhov, or dimir) that demonstrates the flavor/abilities of their clan.

What Connects Us

Enchantment

Whenever a Leyline permanent enters under your control for the first time each turn, add one mana of any color. (Leyline permanents are enchantments, angels, elementals, oozes, spirits, and demons.)

At the beginning of each end step, if 3 or more creatures entered under your control this turn, create a token that is a copy of target Leyline permanent.

"Mana, Ather, call it what you like. I was taught all magic comes from the leylines, which are small pieces of the soul of the world. We call it simply 'what connects us.' -High Priestess Azhnil"

So I've actually toyed around with a concept like this! Originally it was just Leyline creatures which were creatures that were purely constructs of mana. This is how mtg story describes angels, demons, oozes, and elementals. Spirits are a bit more of a stretch but felt like a strong addition. With this prompt, I really like the idea of including enchantments to refer to them instead as Leyline permanents but it does sound a bit clunky.

Make another card that supports the Leyline archetype or the one in the post above.

Kevi Ser, Tower Smuggler

Legendary Creature - Kor Rogue

Goaded creatures your opponents control have Menace.

: Target goaded creature cannot be blocked this turn.

2/2

"Right this way"

Ok so we gave esper goad! Now lets pick another shard color combo and give it a theme demonstrated by partner commanders.

Leyline Vision

Enchantment - Aura

Enchanted creature has ": Add one ."

Aura Swap

When this aura leaves the battlefield, untap the creature its attached to.

"Everything. . . It's all connected, in so many more ways than I could ever imagine."

Repeat (make a card with aura swap)

Machinations of the Tower

Enchantment

Whenever an opponent attacks and is not attacking you, that player may give target creature they control undying until end of turn. If they do, you each draw a card.

"We must refuse their aid, don't you see what you're doing?"

Make a new set of partner commanders in bant or abzan colors.

RufusTheGrufus and here I was trying to look closely through your list to see if I could offer any suggestions!

So hopefully I didn't miss these as well but what about the newly released On Wings of Gold and Renewed Solidarity? Both seem tailored made for anikthea

Ironically white is perfect for earthbending and green is prefect for airbending by color pie flavor standards but in game mechanics... not so much. At least for Airbenders. But they'd probably just swap that and have it be pretty much element for element where Plains = Airbenders and have black be chi blockers, knife throwers, etc.

Upvoted and love the deck! Referenced it a lot when building Anikthea for my partner. Have you considered Concordant Crossroads?

VessilianaOf course! K&T have such a creative design space for deckbuilding, I like what you did with them (:

Of you ever want thoughts on a deck don't hesitate to tag me

Lil' King Trashmouth

Legendary Creature - Raccoon Noble

Ward

Whenever you sacrifice an artifact, add or to your mana pool.

Expend 6 - Create a 5/5 Brawling Bandit Red and Green Raccoon creature token.

1/4

"One man's trash is another raccoon's brawling gauntlet."

Create a card that creates octopus tokens.

Always and Forever Yours

Enchantment

As Always and Forever Yours enters, choose an opponent. Whenever that opponent draws one or more cards, you draw a card.

If a creature controlled by the chosen opponent is destroyed for the first time each turn, exile it instead. Cards exiled this way have an embalm cost equal to their mana cost plus and you may cast those cards for their embalm cost as long as they remain exiled.

"My love, I have read your every correspondence, preserved every love you've lost, and still you run from me?"

My attempt at turning a lovestruck and unhinged stalker into a card. Enjoyed the prompt!

Create a non monowhite card with the word "Divnity" in its title and that contains the words "if", "land", and "exile" in its rules text.

One Stone

Sorcery

Destroy up to two target creatures with flying.

"Nailed it."

Continue! That was a fun challenge
