­Order of Leitbur

So here's an interesting little critter. A fire breathing white knight.

Gotta ditch prot black. Because that just aint a thing; and why do you care when you have first strike and as much power as you can afford?

But... white doesn't really do that kind of fire breath. And gotta remember the mirror Order of the Ebon Hand so whatever we do here, black gotta do too.

I hadn't previously noticed how much "Every colour can first strike" was a thing in this set.

You know what? Make this a more traditional 2/2 instead of fire breathing; and have the second ablity be life-link.

That feels reasonable, and the black mirror works with it fine. The first strike... well, knights can; we'll say it's just a thing this set does (and this set had {u} and {r} knights. No {g} though; maybe we should fix that? Make it a cycle?)

Wait; I misremembered. There are Vodalian Knights, true - but the 'red' knight I was thinking of, was actually River Merfolk which, just, no.

Still - maybe make the vodalian knights activated, and add an {r} and a {g} one? Doing that, they wouldn't all have to have exactly the same abilities; but it'd be nice to have a cycle. (So this and black both have lifelink, this and red both have first strike, etc.)

The blue one has flying and... well we hit the blue keyword curse; gotta be prowess instead of the current first strike...

This could work :)

An activated ability to gain prowess? That's not great, since prowess is the only evergreen keyword to stack

I'm thinking it'll probably be one ability always on, and one (the one you're secondary in) activated.

I agree that specific one is pretty terrble; though. Blame blue for not having a decent keyword.

going for the cycle

Reach? It breaks the cycle, but it kinda makes as being like flying? Meh. (((Elvish Knight)))

Doing it.

Cycle is Order of Leitbur, (((Dwarven Lute-Knight))) / Order of the Crimson Peaks, (((Vodalian Knights))) / Order of Vodalia, (((Elvish Knight))) / Order of Thelon, Order of the Ebon Hand.

The correct ordering for a cycle is {w}{r}{u}{g}{b}, right? Right? Ugh. I am terrible at this.

­{w}{r}{u}{g}{b} is a permissible order for a cycle. There've been sets where a white creature has a red activated ability, a red creature has a blue activated ability, etc (and no other colours).

It's also all over the place namewise; and it's got 2 uncommons, 2 commons and a rare. Maybe I should add a rare artifact knight. But what would THAT do? Artifacts don't get to be grizzly bears even; so its ability would need to be a down side? Would "cmc {2}, sunburst" look ok? It wouldn't obviously be knightly mechanically, though.

Artifacts do get grizzly bears, bizarrely: Lore Seeker, a few others. It's just {1}{u} that doesn't.
