Created for Challenge # 006.
I need to cut some words off this, but I was stuck for a white/white/blue ability that fit a cat warrior mercenary lord. And one that made a 7-mana two-colour 5/5 a decent rare by modern standards.
According to the mtg wiki, Jedit was the greatest cat warrior from efrava, who joined the generally-good Robaran Mercenaries, eventually leading them in the battle of efrava to free efrava from... someone.
And that the planar chaos Jedit Ojanen of Efrava represents a Jedit who remained with his tribe, more loyal to them directly than to abstract ideals of freedom.
So I tried to make a mirror of the planar chaos "make warriors" ability that would fit a WWU legend who won a famous victory at an oasis...
I don't think the power and toughness are required to be the same as the original card.
Thnak you, you're right. I realised that after I made it. But I think it's right that they match both Jedit and Jedit of Efrava.
"gains hexproof" would probably do wonders for cutting through all that text.
I'd also say something about using the old sensibility of just saying "Jedit" when you mean ~, but it would seem odd to use modern keywords with old templating, I suppose.
"'gains hexproof' would probably do wonders for cutting through all that text."
Well, the trouble with hexproof is it doesn't really work if you want to stop your opponent playing spells on their creatures. It could be shroud, but that would seem less snazzy.
Ha! Good point. Then you are stuck. There was a time when people didn't think Shroud was such a bad ability, but now that everything is Hexproof, no one likes stinky old Shroud anymore.
I think shroud is pretty necessary to cut through the word salad. Some sacrifices need to be made.
Ok, I'n persuaded. Lets see if it makes sense with shroud, I'm not sure.
