At 2 mana cantrip holy day is fine, esp. considering it basically gives all your opponents creatures vigilence for the turn. If anything i think it could be common as is.
Doesn't kill 3 drops and costs 1 more. I think it's more akin to Execute, although a bit more universal. Smother is still a better card at what it does.
I could actually come down as a 9/11. I still dropped it by 1, because it wouldn't really matter much for a deck ramping this out, and it makes him look a bit more exciting.
Energy Chamber was pretty powerful, and +1/+1 counters are even more powerful in this set. At 3 mana I think it is a safe Johnny card, which is what I wanted.
That's why I made counters on him not pump himself. You can tell his power by counting the number of +1/+1 counters on creatures you control. It also doesn't make as many counters as Fungal Behemoth does, so hopefully it won't muddle things up as much.
Red as a color doesn't like blocking and likes fast creatures (usually manifesting as haste). The flavor idea here is that it attacks so fast that nothing can block it (and it deals damage before everything else). I should probably fiddle with the name to make that more clear.
One of the problems with this cycle is that the number of tokens can't be uniform, as grixis colors can't really have a Cloudgoat Ranger. I'm not sure how well they'll play, or if they're a nightmare to balance, so they may have to get cut later on anyways.
I think it's pretty solidly an uncommon, not because of power level, but because of what it does.
have fun "breaking" vampire lacerator!
I will break this somehow--red doesn't mind the cantrip, and if you hit two land this is too good I think :/
This is way too good even at full cost--make it non-black at least
Isn't this blue, not black?
here's my target card to break once we start constructed testing ;)

It's CARDNAME cannot have counters placed on it

Went with 2 mana. If a Holy Day ends up powerful enough to play in a few decks, that's not the end of the world (I quite enjoyed Moment's Peace).
Makes it pass the wordy threshold, but I guess it's necessary.
I went back to creatures only. I wasn't trying to make a crazy awesome card here, just a good functional one.

No, I guess the name subconsciously creeped in. I guess I'll just make him Garruk.

And subtly a little bit of convoke hate.

Put it in, at the risk of the card text getting too long.
I'm not sure we need to worry about what happens when there are 20 creatures out. You could also just attack and convoke it in afterward.
I don't like having a secret counter-intuitive trick, but I think, but I like this effect enough that I think it's worth it.
