Welcome back! If it's not clear, (((NTC #091))) is bound for silver bordered land. As such, it doesn't need to strictly follow the rules, or anything approaching game balance. That said, I don't think this card starts getting good in modern magic, until you've killed four players with it. But it starts getting absurd when you've killed six players with it. Since it's silver-bordered, there's simply going to be a time when your friends ask you not to play with this card anymore. Which should probably be fine for most players. If I owned this card, I would mostly only want to hit a new opponents once with it, and never again.

What happens when a person concedes before you can deal lethal damage? Well, that person is not a good person to play casual Magic with. You should consider not playing silver bordered cards at all against that player. But I'll add one extra rule in the silver-bordered errata:

If a player would have lost the game due to potential incoming damage from NTC #091 and they concede, treat that player as having lost via NTC #091 dealing lethal damage to them.

It's not perfect, but silver-bordered often doesn't come with perfect errata.

But what is this card's name? And what is it's creature type?

Oh, one more note: This card does not need to be white, nor does it need to fly. If you would rather make it another color and change the keyword mechanic because it fits a naming convention or a fun idea in your head, feel free to do so.

Huh. This is the kind of card that exists in a lot of single-player computer games, where there's some kind of tournament bracket structure. It works a lot less well if there might be a league involved. Arranging it to be your finisher is kind of fiddly in magic too - since you have all your attackers at once, rather than one at a time.

As for name - some kind of revenant seems fitting. Avenging deaths, and such. So creature type spirit and named... hmm. Something to do with steamrolling and picking up speed as it goes. Heh. Magic already has it - and it is reprinted surprisingly recently. But we can asusme it died sometime since 2015 and came back as a spirit. Jugernaut Revenent. (A typo nearly made it Juggernaut which, what; steamrollers in spaaaaaace? I mean, it does fly...)

­Keeper of the Rolls
Creature - Human Priest

Art: Two sombre white-hooded-robed figures are watching someone die in battle. In the foreground is a parchment inscribed with rows for names. [If we mess with the art this would ideally turn into rows for signing] Scattered on the side of the parchment are some dice [pun!]

Blue
­Sardine Collective
Creature - Sardine Fish

Art: An adventurer is peering into a wardrobe. Two fish swimming in the air grab him and pull him inside. "Join us!"

Black
­Baron Sengir II, Sengir Harder
Creature - Vampire

Sorry for spam! This unlocked several ideas. It's really pretty when you find a concept like this that feels like the mechanics could have come from it, instead of vice versa. It's not quite the same, a card which got a +1/+1 for hitting an opponent would be better, but I think people remember Sengir fondly, while it not being that good to play, so is a good choice for callbacks.

Last one for now, promise.

Green
­Katamari Damacy
Creature -- Ooze Berserker

Flying -> Trample (and probably size and cost brought closer together)

UnCard? Time for an anime reference!

New Mana Cost: {3}{u}{b}

Ah, the link doesn't appear to be working, but the "Crossed_Thanatos.PNG" part of the link gave me a good idea what we're dealing with. XD

Oh, and the more ideas you got, the better as far as I'm concerned Jack. I'm a fan of filling the voting sheet with many options. ;)

Yeah it's working on my end but it wasn't when I first tried, so idk lol

BTW, is it bad that I first expected Keeper of the Rolls to mean 'toilet paper rolls' lmao. That's peak early 2020 humor right there.

Red ­Chad, Griefer
Creature - Troll Gamer

Flying->Trample (and size adjustment)

I'm not sure if this fits, but I think it fits?

One more day delay, just to see if I can get someone else to vote. ;)

Jack wins with Keeper of the Rolls. Alternate art is of a jealous cook slapping another person's hand with a wooden spoon when they try reaching for a freshly cooked roll. See everybody in (((NTC #092)))!

Alternate-alternate art should be a wealthy aristocrat sitting atop a pile of toilet paper as thousands of people crawl towards him on their knees.

Peak 2020 humor.
