Lost Order of Jarkeld + Woodland Warrior
Creature that sizes up when opponent has a horde, creature who fetches trees, or powers them up.
Clearly, our knight is now lost in the woods.
Let's channel Withering Gaze (one of the few cards I can find that gets it s hate on depending on forests of an opponent) and make a black knight.
Of course; by the name this should have the 'wither' ability (and does not) and the old-style 1+* is mad nowadays - and the oddness if this gets blocked by two different players in some multiplayer environments...
But I kinda like it anyway. It's quirky.
That's not how the * notation is used, since it simply gets a pump. *s are used with CDAs only. I think what you want is "Whenever ~ attacks, it gets +1/+1 UEOT for each Forest the defending player controls. Whenever ~ blocks, it gets +1/+1 UEOT for each Forest the attacking player controls." That is, unless you want it to get the bonus for both your Forests and your opponent's Forests each combat, in which case it would just be easier (but more powerful in multiplayer) to say "At the beginning of each combat, ~ gets +1/+1 UEOT for each Forest on the battlefield." * notation is really inappropriate, since this only wants the bonus some of the time. I guess you could say "~'s power is equal to the number of Forests controlled by players who control creatures in combat and its toughness is equal to that number plus 1."
attacking / defending opponent
And yes, the stars aren't how it's done nowadays. So what?
Gaia's Liege has some kind of precedent for the wording you're after. Well, the wording Wizards would use, at least; given this is Vitenka I imagine any divergence from standard templating is entirely deliberate :)
(One of) my points was that you don't define the * anywhere on the card. Right now, it's a * / *+1 that gets +1/+1 for some number of Forests.
I'm going off the original style of wording from Keldon Warlord.
My templating is often wrong because I get stuff wrong. But in this case, it's because I'm mashing in an ancient ice age card and I wanted a callback to that era. (And because I like insane cards, it changes it's * every time it gets into combat)
Vitenka! Angry Mob thinks your numbers are off. I don't want to agree with the Angry Mob, but they're pointing some very sharp objects at me.
Dunno, these guys can be big on opponents turns too, which has to be worth something.
