Sweet!
Nice reference!
Here's Von Yomm, Arbor Keeper, from the Future Sight printing of Dryad Arbor! Never did see a legendary that synergized with manlands.
See Challenge # 127.
I like this! I'm pretty sure the templating for the typeline would be just the two names, no ampersand (this way it still fulfills the Planeswalker uniqueness rule without making every possible pair a new 'Planeswalker'.
Anyway, here's Nissa & Elspeth, Peerless Leaders!
See Challenge # 129.
There are a bunch of cantrip auras already. Most notable Spreading Seas but also Sisay's Ingenuity and a cycle of mostly bad cards from Theros - Nylea's Presence being among the better ones.
Note that Nylea's Presence demonstrates "attach it to target creature you control" isn't always going to work. Spellweaver Volute demonstrates that it's going to be hard to find a sufficiently general phrasing for that!
I made Taigam, Sidisi's Hand. As a bonus, he fulfills the requirements for a Sultai commander for Tiny Leaders!
Prowess may seem odd for a Sultai card, but I thought it made sense from a flavor standpoint (since he used to be a member of the Jeskai clan), and I made it synergize with delve cards. The only downside is that almost no cards with delve are playable in Tiny Leaders! (There are, however, still ways to take advantage of the ability.)
See Challenge # 127.
I just copied the art for Taigam's Scheming, because it's the only art we have of KTK Taigam.
You could also just use this on Flight of Fancy. Thankfully [?] there aren't too many ETB auras kicking around, so these interactions require mixing sets that are pretty far away from each other.
Though, this ability begs for some new ETB auras to be made. A couple cantrips, perhaps, and some other minor effects. I agree with Alex. The ability is too special to waste on a 1/1 uncommon.
Sorry to rain on your parade, Jack, but I think Retribution of the Meek deserves a reprint after all these years.
Oh, hold it. It's on the reserved list. Rassin' frassin'...
I could have sworn this was printed before in Ice Age. But my mind, evidently, was amalgamating Panic and Imposing Visage into one simple spell. Why hasn't this been printed? I guess no one got around to it?
"Some colours and not others" would work fine in some ways. Magic has coped fine with the traditional quadchotomy of fire and earth in red and water and air in blue. Problem is that a "fire spirit" really really wants to be red, but getting anything totem-armour-style in red does feel like a bit of a stretch.
On the other hand. In my Code Geass set I have mecha with eject, which actually works rather like totem armour. That's not very different. They're equipment, and it feels a bit more natural for equipment to be protective, but... yeah, maybe the Orbisan spirits can be in red and still be somewhat protective.
This seems more red or blue than it does green, despite the focus on lands.
I still think you can have an ablative aura in different colours, but now I think maybe it would be fine to just have this in some colours and not others.
Come to think of it, this may not be green either... It could be "discard 3" at uncommon. Or maybe be "discard 1, draw 2" at common?
I notice Boggart Brute is 3/2 Menace for 2R. I guess that most decks have SOME defence against fliers, and any deck can defend against menace by playing more creatures, but half of games, intimidate may mean "completely unblockable"?
Haha! Awesome idea! :)
ROFL. OK, yes, I do really really like "fish or artifact"... :)
I wonder why this is okay when Bladetusk Boar is worryingly powerful? Is it just the precedent of Assault Griffin/Snapping Drake/Jagwasp Swarm?
Edit: Huh, hadn't realised Bladetusk Boar was reprinted in Journey to Nyx. Okay, then I guess either way round is okay.
"Fish or artifact"?
Considering this is much weaker than Careful Study, I'd suggest upping the number of lands you can discard. It probably belongs in uncommon, though. New players should have limited exposure to the mechanic.
Black and Red aren't very protective in the first place. Perhaps B and R spirit enchantments can have 'Vindictive Spirit' instead? Something akin to Retromancer, or perhaps Karmic Justice?
Well, it's an excellent alternative to "small common red flyers just cost more", true. The best 3 drop flyer in red common is still a toss up between Fire Drake and Hobgoblin Dragoon. The only red common flyer that costs 4 is Blistering Dieflyn (assuming Rukh Egg doesn't count.)
Momentum, too. Kind of.
Weird that this isn't a regular mechanic. You would think it would appear as frequently as Shades or Firebreathers. Maybe it just needs to pop up as a full blown mechanic for a guild in a small set first.
Mmm. I like this take on the masks, too. If it was +1/+1, this would seem like a perfectly doable common... which may not have been the intention of the masks flavor-wise, but seems like a fine stretch to me.
As an aside, 11 masks seems acceptable if their stretched out over a big and a little set (7 and 5). Or maybe even Big/little/Big/little? I doubt we'll see that for a while, but I assume Wizards will try it some time in the future.
That mask getting sucked on a creature with potential drawback was roughly what I was planning to do, if someone didn't beat me to the punch. The only real difference was that I was planning on doing it as:
Equip
If ~ is unattached, attach it to a creature if able.
Actually, I was thinking about giving it an equip cost, too, like
. I couldn't figure out if the rules could handle that, though. I mean, it makes sense to me. If you look at the battlefield and you can make 
, then spend it on this, then you do that. It feels weird... but these masks are making people do things they don't want to do. Why not push it to the logical extreme?
As an aside, this mechanic in general has reminded me that Magic cards rarely forces the line 'if able' unless it involves attacking an blocking. It would be nice to see it pop up in other things... like a Lightning Bolt that targets goblins if able, for example.
Three months later, I realize I missed my shot at beating SadisticMystic to Form of the Head. Ah well. Here's And I'll Form of the Head! anyway, with companion card Blazing Sword of Power.
