2/3 -> 3/2
Playtest Feedback: This and Mindleak Agent where the two most popular justice cards. The law is broader than most while the justice trigger is both connected and punishing.
Playtest Feedback: Is very strong but takes 3-4 turns to start being dangerous. I'd make it a 2/1 or 1/1 to make it more vulnerable. Haven't tested with Canisters yet however.
Can easily add a
cost to each ability if it ends up too strong.
I dunno about Apsara's, but Asura is already well-used (eitehr as a concept or as a name) in pop culture. They were in DnD (as a sort of angel, oddly enough) and Asuramon is a digimon. You already got one explicitly named race of demons anyway, though, so maybe you can just do as Tarkir did and decree that "true demon" share asura-like features (i.e. four arms) but not call them so.
There already IS an elephant race: the Loxodons. Tiger people would just be the local type of the leonin (there were tiger leonins on Alara). I'd be wary of having a cat race and a cat demon race, though.
A first draft of a list of races in Kaladesh:
HUMANOID: Humans Naga Garuda (Avens) Vanara (Monkey people - could be monkey-style Goblins?) Spirits (Preta, 'hungry' ghosts that suffer extremely and are violent, and Bhuta, ghosts of the departed) Rakshasa (Cat-demons)
ANIMAL RACES: Tiger Lion Elephant Rhinoceros Gaur (Bison) Water buffalo "The Big Four" snakes: Cobra, Krait, Daboia, Saw-scaled viper) Monkeys (Langur, Macaque) Snow leopard Crocodile Deer (Sangai, Thamin, Sambar, Chital) Peafowl
Note: Could we have more humanoid races based on some of the most iconic animals of India? (Tiger people? Elephant people?)
ICONICS: Apsara * (Beauty, poise, dance - Angel facsimile?) Sphinx (Why not?) Asura * (Demons that represent ignoble aspects of the human nature - ambitious, proud, but NOT necessarily evil or tempters) Dragon (Why not?) Hydra (Makes sense)
Footnote: Kaladesh doesn't appear to be a Hindu mythology inspired plane - it seems to just be inspired by India's aesthetics and environments. (Similar to how Innistrad is inspired by Germanic stuff, but doesn't use German mythology.) This is fine for the humanoids and animals, but it could prove problematic for concepts like Asuras and Apsaras, which are religious, and furthermore, we wouldn't have the room to devote to exploring Hindu mythology in an interesting and respectful manner, I feel.
And the mind controlled creature gets a vote too. Extra swingy. Since it's already going back and forth, why not make it multiplayer friendly? Either way, I recommend making it an upkeep trigger rather than a static effect, since that'll help with the phrasing. "At the beginning of each upkeep, choose a player who controls the most creatures or is tied for the most. That player gains control of enchanted creature."
Top down mind control variant with super awkward phrasing
Cast -> Play
Legitimate ruling situation (Not for the context of the set, but when considering legacy).
If I cast a spell, that spell gets Force of Willed, then I play this guy, would I get my angel when Justice triggers?
I believe the answer is no.
Actually, this does matter since limited removal will often be very expensive.
I think there is flavor to "it wasn't against the law at that time."
Another question: Do your opponents creatures trigger Justice if you break a law set by your own creatures? The answer currently is sometimes?
It's like a hatebear - like Gaddock Teeg, in fact. This one won't stop wraths, but will discourage casting random 3/3 fliers.
Huh. Not what I'd have expected from a Maritime Guard with the only mill effect in the set. Still, cool.
