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.
Um, this says "Compostie," as in "having to do with 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.
Changed name: Now with less compost! :)
Oh, I thought that was the reason for your "Make it green..." comment. Never mind.
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.)
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.
