Recent updates to Multiverse Design Challenge: (Generated at 2025-05-15 16:23:28)
For Challenge # 006. I think I got a bit too excited giving her abilities, since the Legends legends SUCK so hard. I'll probably remove the lifelink later.
add a small title/sobriquet
Fun challenge. I want to create several cards for it. For the moment I've created Pavel Maliki, the Vagrant. I suggest we allow people to modify the name slightly (adding a sobriquet, for example) so as to avoid needing numerical suffixes in order to link. If you want to disallow that, though, I suggest people post direct links in the
[link text](url)format.Created for Challenge # 006.
Many of the original uncommon Legends have intriguing flavour, but this guy (Pavel Maliki) particularly piqued my curiousity. A black-red character who goes around "helping those in greatest need"? Why... and how do you capture that in a rules text box? Here's one way.
The +1/+1 is necessary, because otherwise he'd give some awesome but useless keywords to a 0-power creature more often than would feel sensible.
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.
I don't think the power and toughness are required to be the same as the original card.
Wow, I don't know most of the Legends story. Attempt: Jedit Ojanen of the Robaran (The #1 not being part of the official name, but in case anyone else makes the same card for this challenge.)
Edit: Name changed as Alex suggests, I agree a good idea.
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...
So it must keep the original/current mana cost and creature types (EDIT: no longer the name), and must be rarity (precisely) rare? OK. Fun.
OK, this one is a doozy. There are again, several somewhat harsh restrictions but also a LOT of freedom.
The list is:
Barktooth Warbeard, Hunding Gjornersen, Jasmine Boreal, Jedit Ojanen, Jerrard of the Closed Fist, Kasimir the Lone Wolf, Lady Orca, Lord Magnus, Marhault Elsdragon, Pavel Maliki, Princess Lucrezia, Ramirez DePietro, Riven Turnbull, Sir Shandlar of Eberyn, Sivitri Scarzam, Sunastian Falconer, The Lady of the Mountain, Tobias Andrion, Tor Wauki, Torsten Von Ursus.
Note: Where the oracle typeline has only one subtype, you are free to add a second subtype that fits the art/flavour of the card.
Yay. I love this kind of effect. I did enchantments like this twice in Sienira's Facets (Venomvine Lattice, Seal of Chastisement), although with them I made the reward more subtle because they do have ways to deal damage on their own; the set has loads of animation though so it shouldn't take people long to find the fun.
I've also got an artifact in the second set of the Clockwork Wings block that's similar. My thinking is that if each set of the block has at least two uncommons that can animate an artifact, then one artifact that needs to be externally animated is okay in the second or third set. Uncommon is clearly the right place for it.
Ixidron did explicitly say "They're 2/2 creatures", though. (Which is another reason why it seems like lurk / earthform wouldn't cause any rules problems, but that's a rant for another time...)
Fun card. Would want to be in a block with both Morph and lots of artifacts, but that's a reasonable set of circumstances to expect to happen eventually. I like the Phyrexian flavour as well.
I suppose he's overpowered on an empty board, especially against a red deck. But if the opponent has any blockers at all, all he does is make a heck of a ground stall. That ability is most emphatically not always an advantage; in many situations it's a lot more like a drawback.
There are of course lots of ways around the stall - he works well with tokens, evasion, toughness-based removal, and so on - but the thing is, most decks will probably have some evasion and/or tokens and/or toughness-based removal.
Still, I could see him as a 1/1. Were you thinking for 1 mana, or still for 3 mana like Darksteel Myr?
Hm. I like "turn all artifacts face down". It's good both to nerf opposing artifacts, and to power up your 0-cost artifacts. (And invalidating all artifacts is always fine to have a few rare cards for.)
I'm surprised to see it turning all artifacts face down with no corresponding morph clause, but that's what Ixidron did, so it must be reasonable.
Hm. You'd need a block with a ridiculous amount of enchantment animation to make this worthwhile. Like, in every colour, in common. But I would love to see that set. The "enchantment animating set"!
Weird... I'm not sure what to think of it.
