Garden Tender with Bumper Crop.

ETA: And Apple of Embiggening with a different version of Bumper Crop.

For Challenge # 143. See also: Otarian Axehurl. I just wanted to see what Pace would look like on a white creature, and if it still felt like an acceptable choice, even if it encouraged attacking. I don't think anyone has a problem with Slith Ascendant, though that's admittedly a different animal.

Whoops. Forgot that this would get a -1/-1 counter on it the round it entered the battlefield. So I added 'if it could attack and did not' which also accidentally makes it not as bad against Pacifism and the like.

Could have made it a 3/4. It certainly would have been the simpler choice. I just thought it would be weird if the card always had a -1/-1 counter on it if it 'did nothing wrong'. Would be the better choice for an Eventide style set, though.

And just to make sure we don't stagnate on names, I'll also add in 'Justice' and 'Bumper Crop'.
2016-01-22 04:27:31: jmgariepy commented on Challenge # 143

Used 'Pace' on Otarian Axehurl. Adding 'Forbidden' and 'A Horrible Night for a Curse'.

For Challenge # 143. I wasn't sure what to do with Pace. So I went to Wikitionary... which almost sent me off track. It turns out that an obsolete definition for Pace is "A passage through difficult terrain; a mountain pass or route vulnerable to ambush etc." Neat. But unrecognizable to most Magic players.

Instead, I figured I'd make a creature that needed to maintain a 'pace' to trigger an ability, or it would dwindle away. Oddly, that makes it primary in red and black, with maybe the occasional green card? I suppose Pace could also read "When ~ blocks" and end up on some white and blue cards. I know that's confusing... I wonder if it would be too confusing to bother...

Hey, neat! Reverse Flagbearer! Makes me wonder if that should be in White? Maybe?

Upped cost; now "target player" instead of only your life total. Body remains fragile.

Looking back, this is probably pushed a bit hard.

Wild Scion with Royalty

See Challenge # 143.
2016-01-21 03:26:46: jmgariepy commented on Challenge # 143

Added Automatic Crossbow, using 'Burst' one more time.

New Words: 'Royalty' and 'Unobtanium'.

"A player?" Are you sure this shouldn't say "an opponent"? Otherwise, this makes one heck of a Form of the Dragon.
2016-01-21 03:21:42: jmgariepy created and commented on the card Automatic Crossbow

For Challenge # 143. Using the previously used Burst mechanic. Not very imaginative, I know... I just like the idea of being able to level up a single shot item to a 'hit everything' item.

I'd also kind of like to switch between 2 damage to one and 1 damage to all, but I'm not sure how to do that, keep it simple, thematic and keep the word 'burst' in there. So simple version it is.
2016-01-20 20:56:34: Link commented on Challenge # 143

I added Limitless Angel, using Limit Break.

New Word: Pace

I would like to point out that Burst, Rite, Mastery, and Unintelligible have all been used at least once.

Adding keyword: Anticipate.

And we're running lower on keywords that weren't made by me again so feel free to suggest a few extra, if we aim to keep the total number of unused between 3 and 10?

Shaman's Secret Flame with Unintelligible

Cursed Sword with Burden
2016-01-19 17:05:25: Jack V created and commented on the card Cursed Sword

See Challenge # 143.
2016-01-19 17:00:08: Jack V created and commented on the card Shaman's Secret Flame

See Challenge # 143.

The flavour isn't perfect, but the idea is, it's written in secret goblin language, you can only cast it if you control a goblin. I wasn't sure whether to have the alternative cost or not.
2016-01-19 10:19:44: Jack V commented on Phyrexian Mass

OK, let's try the version with reminder text. I still think that's more like how people will expect. If you were expected to pile the tokens on one creature, I think it would be better if the rules just said "put two -1/-1 counters on a creature you control", but that loses some of the "spreading" flavour of corrupt.
