Created for Challenge # 004. See also Sentra's Enforcer and Sentra's Decree.
I like her. I love Insurrection.
Nice. The -1 is a little odd, since it feels about as good as the +1. Outside of that, You got to respect how Sentra feels like she could have walked right out of Boros. And it's a Planeswalker that you can read the text on! Not many of those in the system...
@L2i0n0k7: It seems such a natural effect for a planeswalker ultimate that I actually had to check it hadn't already been done. It's the classic "I probably-but-not-necessarily win now" sorcery, which perfectly characterises planeswalker ultimates.
@jmgariepy: Mm, perhaps I could make the top two abilities both +1s, and start her at 4.
That may make some sense. They are rather different combat abilities with different needs.
Oh hold it. I'm just noticing now that your Insurrection doesn't give control of the creatures back to their original owners. Was this intentional?
That certainly makes it more delicious.
Er, yikes! It was meant to be UEOT.
change from +1,-1,-8,[5] to +1,+1,-8,[4]. Also add UEOT to Insurrection.
Ah! I assumed you meant it, it was an ultimate. But not is definitely more sensible :)
Hm. Now that menace has been keyworded, the top ability here could be rephrased as "Creatures you control gain menace UEOT". But that makes it look asymmetric compared with the second ability. I could add something white to it like lifelink, but that's too strong: universal menace and first strike are 3 mana (Knighthood, Goblin War Drums), universal vigilance is 2 mana (Serra's Blessing), universal lifelink would definitely be more than 2 mana. Hm.
