After watching the Avengers today, I got Inspired.

Thor, God of Thunder 3WR

Image

Planeswalker - Thor (mythic)

+2: target creature gains protection from the color of your choice until end of turn.

-2: ~ deals 3 damage to target creature of player.

-9: ~ deals 10 damage to target player, damage done this way can't be prevented. You gain 10 life.

Loyalty : 5

//////////////////////////////////////////////////////////

Mjölnir, Hammer of Thor (3)


Legendary Artifact - Mythic

~ is indestructable.

1RR, T: ~ deals 3 damage to target creature of player. A creature dealt damage this way can't be regenerated this turn. Then return ~ to your hand

"capable of leveling mountains"

EXPLANATION/////////////////////////////////////////

I am very happy with the design, Thor is the God of Thunder, and a planeswalker. He travels from Midgard to Asgard. He Is full of virtues such as valor, honor, and justice. so REd/White seems fitting. he's one of the strongest characters in the Marvel Universe and is very respected.

His first ability represents the way he protects people. The second ability is of course, a lightning bolt because he is the god of thunder. And finally, his ultimate represents his Mighty Thunder.

Mjölnir, is his hammer, which can only be used by gods( planeswalkers) hence, not an equipment. once you use it to beat face, it returns to your hand.

Thanks!

I really like Thor, I haven't seen the avengers yet, but he sounds awesome. All three of his abilities are really true to his character, the only thing I don't get is why his ultimate gains life? I would think it would destroy lands or something?

I also really like his hammer, it's not too good since it does cost 6 before it has any impact, but late game, it seems impossible to lose with it active. I think it would have been extra flavorful if you had something like "if you control thor, this deals 6 damage instead" on the hammer.

Thought about destroying lands, but then, we already have a red/white planeswalker that does that.

The hammer is like you said better built for late-games scenarios, when a you run out of gas , and you have 6 mana available, then this become 3 to he dome every turn. and it's colorless damage

We're on Round 2, chief. Call was for Planeswalkers from a video game or cartoon and a non-creature artifact. See page 3.

I want a planeswalker. But not just any planeswalker. I want one based off of either a video game character OR cartoon show character (if choosing someone obscure please post a link so that I know who you are talking about).

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kirby_%28character%29

Kirby, Hungrering
RWB
Planeswalker -- Kirby
Loyalty = 3
+1 Destroy target creature with converted mana cost 3 or less.
+1 Tap target permanent an opponent controls. That permanent may not attack or activate abilities during it's owner's next turn. Kirby, Hungering gains all loyality abilities of that permanent.
-6 Kirby, Hungering deals damage to target player and all creatures they control equal to it's loyalty+6. (This is the loyalty number before this ability was used.)


Comments: First ability is the 'swallow' and last ability is the analogue to spitting enemies at opponents. Second ability is the 'copy enemy powers' specifically if Kirby 'taps down' another planeswalker, next turn it can perform their special techniques. 'The opponent controls' line is so Kirby can't copy it's own allies in a 'superfriends' based planeswalker deck.

The casting cost of three converted is justified by being three colors. Black for the 'smother-swallow', white for the tap-down, and red for the damage-spit. 2nd ability is only powerful in a metagame with other planeswalkers.... black is copy-based graveyard, so it isn't much of a stretch for the color of law (white) which has the most cards to deal with 'walkers being able to copy loyalty abilities.


Second card, non-creature artifact:

Howling Power Plant (rare)
2
Artifact
At the beginning of each player's upkeep, if Howling Power Plant is untapped, that player may search their library for a basic land card and put that card onto the battlefield tapped. Then shuffle their library.

Comments: Usable in ramp variants... mostly created to be fun in EDH. Note basic lands only.

Edit: Kirby's ultimate should now work like it is supposed to within the rules.

Ok, didn't see that. Sorry.
My 2 entries:

Planeswalker: http://assassinscreed.wikia.com/wiki/Ezio_Auditore_da_Firenze

Ezio, the Hidden Blade
3WB
4 Loyality

+1: Put a 1/1 White Assassin creature token into play.
-2: Target player gets a poison counter.
-8: You get an emblem with "Assassin creatures you control have 'T: This creature deals 1 damage to target creature or player.'"

Artifact:

Poisoned Chalice 4

Legendary Artifact Rare

At the beginning of each players upkeep that player may pay X life where X is the number of creatures they control. If they don't, they get a poison counter.

I don't know if you can change your entry, but kirby's ultimate doesn't seem like he's spitting any ememies out. Maybe you can use his first ability as exile and his ultimate puts the exiles into the graveyard and deal damages equals to their combined power or something.

Unfortunately, I don't think this works the way you want it to. You remove the loyalty counters as a cost for the ability, so when the ability resolves, it will check and see only the remaining counters. To get it to work, you'd probably have to word it like:
"-6: Kirby deals X+6 damage to target player and all creatures that player controls, where X is equal to the number of loyalty counters on Kirby."

In the Kirby video game I played on the gameboy, he spits out a star rather than the defeated enemy. (I guess they get digested?) The star part would be the loyalty he's gained from devouring (or tapping) enemies. Kirby's not spitting out one at a time, he's saving up for a big blast... at least that is how I conceived it.

And coasterdude, I'm aware of the issue, that's why I added the italics clarification. Putting down X+6 with X equal to something isn't elegant on the card, and stating something like 'Damage equal to Kirby's loyalty at start of turn' or whatnot discounts effects like proliferate. 'Equal to it's loyalty before this ability was used' is just asking for confusion (or so it seemed to me), so I went with the italic reminder clarification-modification. However I will change it to loyalty+6 which takes into account the ability activation 'stealing' loyalty and leave the reminder in.

Vegeta, The Prince 3RRR
Planeswalker — Vegeta (M)
Starting Loyalty: 4
+X: Discard X cards at random.
-X: Vegeta, The Prince deals X damage to target creature or player.
0: Until end of turn, Vegeta, The Prince becomes a 5/5 Saiyan Warrior creature with Flying and haste that’s still a planeswalker. Prevent all damage that would be dealt to him this turn.
-12: Vegeta, The Prince deals 8 damage to each creature and each player.

+X, basically him powering up.
-X, Pick whatever flashy attack you'd like.
0, He is attacking you directly.
-12, Basically this is him going nuts and just firing off regardless of who is around to get in the way, as he often does when he gets ****ed and/or is losing.


Throne of the Lich 5
Artifact (M)
At the begging of your upkeep, if you have 0 or less life, exile the top five cards of your library.
You do not lose the game for having 0 or less life.
If Throne of the Lich is put into the graveyard from the battlefield, your life total becomes 1.


Lich variant that sort of just popped into my head, not sure on power level tbh, though it seems fair, helps you live a little longer, but at a steep cost, and getting rid of it while not killing you out right, leaves you very weak.

Coasterdude - Sub-zero, the cryomancer and seafarer's compass

K I like sub-sero's first two abilities. But the ultimate I find unfitting. I think an emblem that 'whenever an opponents creature becomes tapped it does not untap on its owner's next untap phase' would of been more fitting. But that would of just been a bigger +1 ability. So maybe an emblem of 'your permanents gain the ability: 'tap this permanent, tap target permanent. that permanent does not untap during its owners next untap phase'. So I like the card but you lose points on the ultimate.

Seafarer's compass
Okay, I think the card is good. but I don't think it fits blue. Blue isn't well known for mana acceleration and at 4th turn popping out islands for 1 mana is crazy good for blue. I think that there should of been a way to slow this down or a limit to how many times you could do it (something like vanishing counters on it, or not untapping the turn after it is used). It's a gimmick for blue only, but I think it doesn't quite fit as it is too good for a blue deck to have such a fast mana acceleration.

--

Keyacat -- Devil Hunter Yohko and The seventh seal

K, I like Yohko. I think it's relatively balanced as it is just a 3/3 instead of gideon's 6/6. Flying and first strike seem fitting. I like how the first effect may or may not be a dead use. If it's useful, it's very useful. if not, second ability doesnt take off. but the card isn't useless as you get a 3/3 flyer first strike and is not able to block. Seems fair.

Seventh Seal

This seems like it could be a good SB card, but nothing I would really want to main deck. I think it's fair for cost, but overall I don't think it's a great card. I could see its usefulness, however.

--

Skizzikmonger -- Kratos, God of War and Sword of all

Looks very fitting. Damage everything, fight that creature, beat them all up, and feel the pain. I'll take the ultimate as 6 damage max to an opponent, regardless of how many permenants are destroyed. I like this card, like how you made it. Very fitting, although I think RB would of been better than RG (although the G fits for the 'fight' ability).

Sword of all is crazy. two color protection and +3/+3? Just wow. I think it's too powerful. 3 casting cost is fine, but I think its equip should be 4. I know that (sword of this and that) offers an additional ability or two, but this is particular to the deck you are playing. Good card, but too powerful.

--

AGO - psycho mantis and Poison dart

psycho mantis seemed too good to me until I saw (2) loyalty. that made him balanced out nicely. I think that exiling 3 cards to draw a random is very fair as a +1, the -1 is really good, but with a (2) loyalty might not want to be overused. psionic blast could be what changes everything. and the ultimate I beleive is rightly triggered (exiling 15 cards and drawing 5 cards to gain control of a permenant seems pretty fair. that's 31 cards if played on turn 4 to ultimate on turn 9 with no issues. Crazy good ultimate, but crazy hard to pull off and leaves you vulnerable).

Poison dart

Love this card. my favorite entry. Simple, powerful, and fits the common slot.

--

Junichi - Ash Ketchum and Treasure Map

Love it. Favorite planeswalker entry for sure. Abilities fit exactly, balanced loyalty, colors fit. Love it.

I like treasure map. I just think it should cost 2 to cast originally, as on turn 2 this could really change the entire game. Good card, just a little askew on the CC IMO.

--

MattW -- Squall Leonhart and Reality clasp

Excellent Job on Squall. I think the abilities are great and not overpowered. I love how the ultimate works backwards and fits the 'limit break' of FF. It is crazy powerful, but leaves squall so weak a llanwor elf could kill him. Really liked this card, good job.

REality clasp is an instant EDH maindeck. Reverse proliferate. Nice take on it. I think the Casting costs are fair and uncommon fits it well.

--

Myy -- Thor, God of Thunder and Mjolnir, Hammer of Thor

K I have to say that at first I didn't really like this entry. But the more I read it, the more it grows in me. His abilities are fitting for Thor and make sense. I just think his starting loyalty should of been 4 (or ultimate at 10) as his ultimate 3 turns away from casting him is pretty F-ing good.

Mjolnir, while it should be a mythic legendary, I feel that in this case is just a better hammer of bogarden. As such, I don't feel with these abilities that it deserves mythic (as in, if I opened a pack and got this I would be dissapointed unless it was in draft). I agree with the abilities of indestructible and 3 damage. I agree that it should return to your hand. I think to make it a mythic is should only cast 2 mana (I really think the 3 cast drop hurts it). I also think that instead of RR it should be RW to fit in with Thor's CC better. Or possibly 4 damage to a creature and 2 to a player. Just overall, I think this card could of been changed and made better than it is for what it is (mjolnir). Nice try though, and I appreciate the effort of making the artifact match the planeswalker.

--

JTrade -- Kirby, the Hungering and Howling Power Plant

The abilities fit well for Kirby. Suck em up, spit em out. Or copy another planeswalker (which is pretty cool). But I think that if he changed the copied planeswalker and chose a new planeswalker target that he should lose the original abilities (as Kirby would lose the previous powers he once had). Also, I understood what you meant before the edit of the ultimate. Now the ultimate (to me) reads 6+6+x. I think the wording on it was fine at first, or Coasterdude's comment was very fitting and didn't have reminder text. Nice entry, just needed a little tweaking.

Not sure why it's called the 'howling power plant', but I like the ability and how it affects everyone. You could find ways to tap it so only you benefit, or just let it go and let everyone ramp (Making friends in EDH). Nice card.

--

Southparker -- Ezio, the hidden blade and Poisoned Chalice

K, +1 seems very fitting. -2 seems very fitting. but then the ultimate turns them against each other. I would of rather seen 'creatures you control get [tap this creature to deal 1 damage to target creature or player] OR assassin creatures you control get [tap this creature; target player receives a poison counter]. I find that it is either ping them for damage or poison them, but take your pick. feels like the planeswalker is having issues on how to win which could really throw the game (4 poison counters and then start pinging for 1 dmg??)

Poisoned Chalice... hmm... life or poison... balances because the opoonent gets the choice. Balanced because it affects you as well. Nice entry, although a little hard to judge it for effectiveness. I like the idea though.

--

Lord Crovax -- Vegeta, The Prince and Throne of the lich

K, my second favorite planeswalker entry. I think you nailed it minus one part. his 0 ability just prevents damage to him. I think that instead he should of been indestructible. Other than that, great entry. casting cost is perfect (I agree on solid red instead of splashing black), and I like how he powers up and dishes damage.

Throne of the Lich

at 5 mana cost for a turn 5 drop only equates out 12 cards from the deck. chances are you still have life total, so this could prolong the game quite far (on standard at least 8 turns). But not having a way to remove it yourself balances it well.


Okay, so these are tough to make cuts. We had two no-entries (devonin and broiler1997), which makes it harder (as I wanted 8 people to advance, I now have to cut two instead of four. Please don't hate me if I cut your card, I appreciate your effort and am glad you entered this contest).

Next round entries are!

Keyacat
skizzikmonger
AGO
Junichi
MattW
Myy
JTrade
Lord Crovax

Again, thank you to all who entered. I kind of hate making cuts, but again, this is a contest and I am glad that you have entered. Sorry to (southparker) and (Coasterdude), but thank you for trying!

Round 3!


Okay, I had to think about this round for awhile. Round one was no mythics. Round two was a PW and non-creature artifact. So I guess that dictates round 3 as:

Card 1: A creature! Cannot be mythic. Cannot be multicolored. Cannot be Vanilla.

Card 2: An Enchantment! Must be Mythic!!! Can be any color(s), creature or global or what-have-you. (I'm expecting this to be the difficult entry for you guys. Good luck)

Card 3: An instant/sorcery. Cannot be Mythic. Cannot be Uncommon. Rare or Common ONLY!. Can be any color(s). Cannot be a spell that makes creatures (IE lingering souls, cackling counterpart).


Alright! those are the formats for the next round entries. I look forward to all of your entries very much.

Also, I will introduce a bonus round! This is a seperate contest for the top 8 contenders (was going to be round 4, but changed my mind). And this entry is....

Bonus Round!

A new Archemeny Scheme or Planechase card! No restrictions on these two. Just choose one or the other and make an entry. Best one gets a seperate prize! Best of luck and again, I look forward to your entries.

And Let the Rounds Begin!

Card 1
Silent Image 1U
Creature — Illusion (R)
Hexproof
When Silent Image becomes the target of a spell or ability, sacrifice it.
Whenever Silent Image attacks or blocks it gets +X/-X where X is equal to the number of cards in your hand.
0/8

A Blue beater or blocker who's power is directly derived by how many cards you have in hand, keep to few, and you risk overextending in blue, have to many and you may outright kill the poor guy.

Not sure how balanced he is (Was rough making him), but I do like him.

Card 2
Awaking of the Spark WUBRG
Legendary Enchantment (M)
At the begging of your upkeep, if you control a Planeswalker with 10 or more Loyalty counters on it, you win the game.

Was trying to think up something cool, name came to me, and this is what came of it, seems fair and fun, and only Karn right now can get this in one turn, next closest require two turns of nothing hitting them in order to activate this.

Card 3
Forsight U
Instant (C)
Scry 1, Draw a card. (To scry 1, look at the top card of your library, then you may put that card on the bottom of your library.)
Flashback 1UU (You may cast this card from your graveyard for its flashback cost. Then exile it.)

This is a card I wish we got in Innistrad Block, simple and strong, without being to powerful. Think it would have been a nice replacement for ponder, which is likely going


Bonus Round

Innistrad
Plane -- Innistrad

When you planeswalk to Innistrad or at the begging of your upkeep choose night or day. If night is chosen Werewolf, Vampire, and Zombies get +1/+1. If day is choosen Humans and Angels get +1/+1.

Chaos :: If Night, put three +1/+1 counters on each Werewolf, Vampire, and Zombie on the battlefield. If Day, put three +1/+1 counters on each Human and Angel on the battlefield.

As a plane, depending on Night or Day, either the Dark gets a edge or the Light gets a edge, left out Spirits as they tended to be on both sides, so I stuck with the set Good VS Evil spectrum, though I left out Demons to, as they were not as prevalent until after the Helvault, where as Angels were still around in decent numbers before hand, they were just weaker.

Anywho hope you like them, and look forward to your comments.
