Created for Challenge # 075. Based on Isperia, Supreme Judge / Isperia the Inscrutable.
I love the ultimate. Hilarious amounts of card advantage (well, like Isperia, Supreme Judge in that respect).
The [0] is scary. Triple Martial Law = owch. But I guess this is a 7-mana gold mythic, so fine.
The +2 seems at first nod like a fine nod to the original Isperia, but on second look, isn't it somewhat out of pie?
You beat me in my transfer from Kindle to computer.
I guess the +2 is a bit abnormal for white/blue, but I'm not sure it's out of pie. It's inspired by Isperia the Inscrutable, but also by Squadron Hawks and Ranger of Eos. Blue is capable of searching for creatures, but usually does so in your opponent's library. Admittedly, after looking through the Gatherer, it's a bit more odd than I thought.
Changed first ability; tweaked other two.
The +2 is very blue-black. I don't think I have a problem with it being white-blue in theory... but it kind of fights against "One of the only things blue and black seem to agree on", so it's a pretty tough sell moving it to another color.
. Strong card, otherwise.
Really? I'm pretty sure it's strongly mono-blue. There aren't many black cards at all that do this, unless I'm failing at my Gatherer search.
Oh, you know, I thought that ability was any library. Sorry about that. carry on.
The only mono-black card that does that is Dimir Machinations... sort of.
