: Put two 0/1 blue Imp tokens into play.
Spell Burst + Killer Clown
...and the next multiverse 'card' is Mer Hunter from Glyfts, which; um... arbitrary sized images on the page is kinda unexpected. Anyway.
Spell Blast++, and a really simple, albeit silly, token maker.
Sooo... how about a counterspell-token-maker? I think that can be done.
Huh; blue doesn't really get tokens, there's no obvious "Little helper gremlin" type to borrow? Norrit? Is black; but 'Imp' probably works anyway.
Now, have to be careful here. If it's too easy to activate then you just get a flood of crap tokens and the board locks down - but if it's too hard then you'll never counter anything.
Still. Voidmage Prodigy says this can be done - and also points out that this would be better costed at
than at 
where I first eyeballed it. Double blue because this is counterspell territory and also menas this can be a 2-drop and so potentially have some impact on the game turn... four. Ugh. Still, it's a legitimately painful threat - even players on the curve want to cast instants in the mid game.
Next thought - should this be legendary? On the one hand - two of them is a MIGHTY lock-down. On the other hand, just one of them... kinda isn't.
I think we'll try it here. Two of them still leaves a vulnerable portion when they tap to add the second lot of imps; though this does get terrifying if they can untap it.
For which reason, I think I'd better up the activation cost of creating more imps a bit.
Flavour... how about Vodalia? The merfolk were probably my favourite thing from fallen empires.
Rarity? Rare rare rare maybe mythic if I make it legendary and give it a name. (Complexity, impact, splashiness, aspiration - all maxing the dials)
was named 'voidmage', but I went for the pun instead
Great token maker and a mediocre counterspeller. Not sure if that's what you were going for. Reminds me a bit of Lullmage Mentor, but that took a different approach.
It'd be nice if this was a bit less awesome a token-maker and a bit better a counterspeller. Perhaps... it only makes one token (maybe costing
), but the second ability could be "
, Sacrifice any number of creatures: Counter target spell if its CMC is less than or equal to the total toughness of the sacrificed creatures"? (Bleh, wordy.)
