  Moved from workbench to alpha because I need more cheap common creatures. This guy isn't quite common, really, but we're letting that sort of thing slide here.

  When I looked at this guy in the file, I was like 'Ooh! I can just drop this guy's casting cost and p/t, and he'll work as a 2cc creature instead. Turns out the the two original base creatures are 1/3s, though, hence my early comment. 1/3 defender seems fine for , though... I just increased the activation, which secretly makes this card more expensive in the trade. I also find it funny comparing this to the upcoming M13 rings...

  See, now I should have left it alone and sounded much more clever in the process. If it gets me any points back, my intention for the art was to have a bunch of other elementals fused into one. Fire Elemental left arm, Water Elemental right arm, some demonish wings... etc. I find it funny that of the two colors I could imagine doing that, I'd point at green and blue... roughly for the exact opposite reasons.

  Yeah, I thought the compost was deliberate as part of the colourshift :)

  (SM: Note that Paragon of the Amesha and Dragonsoul Knight are the two clearly-mirrored elements of that non-cycle. I do tend to count Fleshformer as in the cycle and say it's missing a green and a blue element.)

  Oh, I thought that was the reason for your "Make it green..." comment. Never mind.

• 2012-07-02 08:23:27: jmgariepy commented on Composite Elemental

  Changed name: Now with less compost! :)

  This seems more like it was an offshoot of Paragon of the Amesha. Fleshformer and to a lesser extent Worldheart Phoenix seem like they belong to a cycle with that, but the cycle never received a green or blue card, so this would fit nicely there.

  Um, this says "Compostie," as in "having to do with compost."

  Hole filling, I chose "Vanilla/French Vanilla Green Common" and random generator gave me Composite Golem. Oh, that's simple, I'll just make it green and... oh hold it... this isn't a color shift. I need to make it a french vanilla creature somehow, or justify making it a 7/6 for or something.

  The resulting card is probably not common, but welcome to Mashup: the Gathering. I did drop down to 3 abilities instead of 5 though, to simplify... I'm kind of saying that blue/black/white supplies the flying, red/green/black supplies the first strike and red/green supplies the trample. Yeah. Really, I could have gone with a lot of combinations, but those three are old school, and, I assume, would be the easiest for the largest number of players to remember.

  Last hole fill, I chose 'vanilla/french vanilla red common' and random generator gave me Cessation. This small divergence into vanilla creatures was interesting, but I got to admit, necessary or not, I would hate to have to explain myself after the fact. "Which two cards were mashed up to make this card?" says a person I introduce to the set. "Oh, that one? That's a spin-off of a white aura that has some Angels on it. It's kind of half of a half of a mashup, since I kind of started with one card and took stuff away from it." sigh. Oh well. The creature's cool, I think. If I get really lucky and get more vanilla creature mashed up with another vanilla creature, I'll have a good reason to get rid of these. Until then, I could have done worse.

  Oh, crud. I just realized that I mahsed up the wrong color. The last vanilla creature that needs to be done is green, not red. Blarg. Guess I got one more coming up, and some decisions down the line.

  Flavor added. Also, it occurred to me that Wither would have been fine here as well. Not really using wither in this set, though.

  Also, note to self: Use this flavor text on a vampire hunter some day:

  "No undead goes unpunished"

  I chose "Vanilla/French Vanilla creature" and random generator gave me Eye for an Eye. This seemed appropriated... and though I really want the creature type to be 'eye', I know there's a Knight tribal theme going around, so I let the card be a cyclops knight. By the way, I'd hate to see the horse this guy rides around on.

  I just can't seem to think of any flavor text to do this guy justice. Have you seen Eye for an Eye? The guy about to be executed looks like Gerrard Capashen. I tried spinning around that, but just can't lock it. Mostly because a creature like this should be fragile... not some dude that swears that he will some day find that waskilly wabbit Gerrard. I don't know. I'll come up with something more appropriate later.

  Well, there's a ton of good bureaucrat abilities I could be putting on here, my head keeps filling with a bunch of them... but, yeah, this slot is supposed to go only to a Vanilla or French Vanilla. I did realize that "Protection from creatures with haste" was another option... but that would only make sense the turn it came into play. Okay, I admit, I think it would be funny if the bureaucrat kept holding back this one impatient goblin. :)
