Card 2.

Terraformer
3 Uncommon
Artifact - Equipment

Equip 1: Equip Terraformer to a land you control. At the beginning of your upkeep, if Terraformer is equipped to a land, that land may become a basic land type of your choice. If Terraformer would leave the battlefield and was equipped, destroy the equipped land.

The mountains and trees of today make way for a better tomorrow.

- Picture: a large, heavy duty machine that is sucking up the trees on one side of the card, and spitting out water on the other.

Card 3.

Bloodthirsty Cavalier
1R Rare
Creature - Knight

Haste, First Strike

If Bloodthirsty Cavalier would damage an opponent, that player loses half their life, rounded down instead and Bloodthirsty Cavalier gains a +1/+1 counter.

Once he smells your blood he never stops. Ever.

2/1

- Picture: A knight in blood-spattered armor on a horse with a lance going through a guy and into a wall, as though he ran the guy through and then pinned him to the wall.


Thanks,
Jazaray


Forgot the colors for the tokens and I needed to fix an ability.

Thanks,
Jazaray

Urza, Chief Artificer UU3 Mythic
+5: Exile an artifact you control Draw 1 card
-1: Sacrifice an artifact you control to search your library for an artifact, reveal it and put it into your hand.
-4: You get an Emblem with "Whenever a source would deal damage to you reduce that damage by 1"
-10: Deals 10 damage to target player or creature, this damage cannot be prevented or redirected, then sacrifice Urza, Chief Artificer
3

(I was short on good ideas from Sci-fi so I went with Urza. I modeled him after mainly blue abilities, his last ability is modeled after his rage but wasn't enough to make him include red in the cost.
His only + ability requires him to "take apart" artifacts. It gives you a card as the "knowledge" he gains from deconstructing the artifact. His -1 is obviously tinker, I feel it still requires the sacrifice of an artifact or it'd be too good.
The -4 ability is effectively him constructing armor for you, and it's actually a pretty powerful ability in multiples. His -10 requires his own sacrifice into his own rage, and as such is pretty much a kicked Urza's rage.)


Voodoo Dust 3 Unc
At the beginning of your upkeep remove a ju-ju counter from Voodoo Dust. When the last ju-ju counter is removed from Voodoo Dust exile it.
2 : Hex target player, place 4 ju-ju counters on Voodoo Dust and it loses this ability. (Attach to target player Hexing them. Whenever a Hexed player casts a spell they must pay 1 or that spell is exiled.
Any time a creature enters the battlefield under control of a Hexed player that creature enters the battlefield tapped.)

(The taxing effect of having a voodoo curse can play havoc on your magical abilities. Tiring you out, I worded the ability similar to Frost Titan. I did this because one time I let someone get full value by tapping out for a removal spell and neglecting the extra costs, and I lost the spell because of it.)


Keldon Blademaster R1 Rare
Creature - Human Barbarian
First Strike
Keldon Blademaster cannot be blocked except by 2 or more creatures.
Shroud
R: Keldon Blademaster gets +2/+0 until end of turn.
"Well sure, I suppose you could try and hit them with a spell. Just be careful of their blades when you're waving your fingers about" - Teferi, Mage of Zhalfir
2/3

(This isn't even the ideal finish to the "Broken 2 drop cycle" but I feel the power level *could* possibly see play today. It's a must answer threat with pseudo evasion and the first strike plus overcharged fire breathing make it decently tough to kill.)

I could understand if you don't want to accept the "human" part, as I think you said only 1 edit per entry, and I did two though..

Thanks,

Unicron: Overall, I wasn't particularly impressed by Unicron. I get why you gave him his abilities, but what i don't understand are: His mana cost (why not colorless?), why would I play him (he does like to bribe people with power), and how does he win me the game? I think this could of been done better to fit Unicron, as a devourer of the multiverse, as a badass.
5/10

Hall of Obzedat: Simple fortification equipment. Nothing overly spectacular, but I could see this being a real card.
6/10

Masochism Demon: Not bad. Not overly broken, playable, fair downside. Good job.
7/10
18/30

fluffycow

Ruby Weapon: What a wall of text. However, I have played this game and I am familiar with Ruby Weapon. It is a badass with wayyyy to many abilities, so this is fitting. I'm glad that you made the mana cost 13, as this should not be a card that easily sees play. I think that the 'half damage' part is entirely unneccessary as an 18/18. I know he's a pain to kill, but 18/18 is still brutal. Also, the 'exile' effect should only be able to be used once. Nice flavor text.
7/10

Forever Essence: Nice take. I like how it is neither equipment done before, and how it intereacts. Only being able to use it for planeswalkers artifacts and enchantmnts narrows it well.
7/10

Citizen of All Realms: I like it. A different approach than the other entries, but very versatile. As it's all colorless mana, and the effects all vary with the color pie, I think you did a good job.

Aetherstorm:

He-Man: I enjoyed reading this. The flash of he-man seems very fitting, as does the angel's grace along with it. Nice addition. I think the abilities are fairly fitting, but I do not like that he has so much text. For a planeswalker, he sure does alot. I'm not so fond of Planeswalkers with more than 3 abilities, and this is alot of text to squeeze into a little area. Overall good job, but a bit too much.
7.5/10

Bucket of Grease was an awesome read. I really enjoyed this mechanic and the workings with it. I think you did a great job on this, and I also like the smelt mechanic addition. But what really won me was the flavor text.
8.5/10

Verduran Empath is interesting. I think that for 2 mana it's not overly broken, but incredibly playable. The enchantment aspect is very fitting. However, the additional land clause should also be only if you have less lands than an opponent. I think this could actually be printed with some minor tweaking. Great job.
8/10
24/30

iplaneswalk
Bruce wayne is interesting. I like that you didn't choose his alter ego and stuck to the man behind the mask. I had to read this one several times to finally judge it. +1 seems somewhat fitting. Bribing with piles of cash. Gaining life for property is a return on investments. and -10 works as this is.. well, batman. I think the casting cost is a little high (in comparison, mind sculptor could be cast and ultimate before bruce at a lower cost. Also, black does not work with detain or gaining life without some 'cost' for that life. I think this is what hurts you the most, but I like the attempt.
6/10

Venser's helmet is a pretty simple equipment, but I think that the 'equip' cost is kinda poor. The only situation I think this works well is in a control deck, as creatures are very light and rarely attack. But it would be utilized in an aggro deck far better than a control deck. Nice and simple, but could of been better.
7/10

Endangered roc of paradise I felt was kinda poor. This doesn't really seem 'broken' or overly powerful. I would personally run birds of paradise over this 11/10 times. I think the tap effect could of been 2 mana of any color combination, 1/4 would of given much more survivability. The human clause was a nice touch though.

Myrrah, Queen of Locusts is a nice legend. I wasn't personally familiar with this, but after reading the article I think you did a great job. My only complaint is she is easy to kill for a 6drop.
8/10

Titan Engine is neat. I love planeswalkers and would definitely play this in my superfriends deck. I think it could use some more tweaking, but am unsure as of right now and have spent enough time delaying these results so I can't offer more insight. Good job, and an entry I personally like. It would of scored higher if not for the tweaking.
7/10

Scroll Torcher is great, but I really wish I could use his ability at will instead of during my upkeep only. I think an activation cost of 3 would of been perfect, even if it didn't cause to tap.
7/10
22/30

Coolcat3000
No means of offense, but I had a problem with this entry. As we already have a bruce wayne, I get the feeling that you wanted to also do a 'batman' entry. However, I don't think this is quite what you're original entry was in mind. I am familiar with owlman and the alternative universe in DC comics. But I think that this entry wasn't done so well. To start, he is black/blue, but his initial ability is a red ability. If you just gained control of the creature it would be blue, but the way it is worded it is definitely red. His second ability is definitely black, but the owlman is a tactician and would choose how to hurt you carefully, not just bluntly. This should of given you a choice of a non-land card, possibly with cmc<4 so as to not be to powerful but playable.
6/10

Statue of Augury
This is a fortification that could of easily been printed and seems to be very playable. It may be too powerful with the indestructible gain however. Nice entry, but a little much.
7/10

Scribe Goblin is easily my favorite of these entries. This is incredibly playable, and very combo-friendly. there is only one 'mistake', IMO. That is the 2 defense. Red very very rarely has a bigger toughness than power. I think that even a 2/2 would of been better as it would of been more fitting. Great job though.
9/10
23/10

KGthelegend

Light yagami is an excellent entry. I read the wikipedia article and also really like your choice. I think you did a great job with this.
8.5/10

Harmonic Replicator is very neat. I like how we could have enchantment tokens, and not restricted to aura's/global/anything new. It also seems to be balanced in cost, equip, and activation.
9/10

Paragon of Light is a little much. I keep trying to decide if its too powerful or just right. And then I found it too powerful. I think that a key to wording that would of made this a higher score was the 'all creatures' clause. I think that 'humans and knights' OR 'all white creatures' you control would of been a perfect balance. Great entry though.
8/10
25.5/30

jazaray

Sora! I was pleased to see this guy come around. Great entry, well balanced. I think the 0 ability could of also added +1/+1. nice entry.
8/10

Terraformer another fortification that could see play, but I think it's a little expensive. Also, the wording isn't quite correct. I'm not 100% what you wanted, but as it is the land becomes a basic land of any type and loses it's original type that does not end at EOT. This could cause ruling issues to appear. I like the flavor text though.
7/10

Bloodthirsty Cavalier is wayyy too powerful. I know I wanted powerful, but DAMN GURL! This thing is nuts. turn 2 in red burn or RDW and you're at 10 life? Nuts powerful. Far too easy to make a turn 3 win condition without any combo peices. Second to that, The 'half life' clause is more black than red, and should be rounded up. I like that you went all out, but this guy is too powerful.
6/10
21/30
---

Junichi:

DON'T MAKE ME ANGRY! I love it! I think you did a great job with the incredible hulk and this is my personal favorite of the planeswalkers. Great entry.
9/10

Metallic adaptation Is very powerful, and I like that it's power artifact in colorless form. I think the initial casting cost is too low, however. at least 2, maybe 3. I would have to think more about it, but definitely not 1. Nice addition with the 'totem armor' clause for artifacts though.
7.5/10

Nevinyrral's reminiscence is WOW! I feel like Jazaray's entrance was too powerful, but this is as well. I really feel that there should of been a clause (x cannot be zero) in addition, as it destroys too much too easily as it is right now. all tokens and 0 drops for nothing? Brutal. Also, being 2 colorless mana I think should come with a downside. Possibly a cumulative upkeep or fading counters.
7/10
23.5/30

ChargingRhinos

So I was left with a conundrum here. I like Urza personally, but I feel that he doesn't quite fit the requirment. He was neither in a cartoon, video game, or comic book. he is fictional and was in novels, so it's close, but not quite. Outside of that issue, He is a very fitting planeswalker. I think his Casting cost would of been better as UR3, but that's my opinion (blue for tinker, red for rage. the other two abilites fit colorless very well). So good entry, minor issue, but pointloss for not quite meeting criteria.
6/10


Voodoo Dust is great. ju-ju counters I got a chuckle reading this one. Took me a double-read to fully understand it at first. I like how you worded this carefully to keep it from being broken with 2 mana constantly. Great job.
8.5/10

keldon Blademaster is again, too powerful. I feel that some things also didn't fit. First is shroud. There is not a single mono-red creature in magic with shroud, and this doesn't fit the colorpie. It also makes him nigh-impossible to kill. Second, his 2/3. Why a big butt? It doesn't fit red well (it happens, but rarely.).
Next to that, I think the card would of been better balanced without shroud and as a 2/2 or 2/1 even. Also, I think R:+2/+0 should of been RR:+3/+0. It would of retained balance to force you into having 2 mana to pump instead of 1. As it can only be blocked by 2 creatures and has first strike/shroud, it would be incredibly difficult to kill as it is. +1 for flavor text and making me chuckle twice though (ju-ju counters and blademaster flavor)
6/10
20.5/30

THERE WE GO! Sorry for taking so long guys. I managed to squeeze a few hours in, put on a crappy movie called ghost rider, and set right into this. I'll have the next round up tomorrow with the cuts and final scores updated and everything (and I WILL have this up tomorrow. promise!)

Glad you liked my entries. Gotta say, Jace TMS has 4 abilities too that are more text than He-Man has so I suppose they all should fit on one line.

I hope I'm in the next round (too lazy to count now), if I am, could you let us in on your dislikes maybe per 'assignment' or is it for us to find out? If I'd known you didn't like 4 abilities on Planeswalkers, I'd try and squeeze He-Man in 3 abilities for instance.
Comparing fluffycow's Planeswalker to mine, mine has less text (almost half the text) but is only 0.5 point higher. Is that just because I give him 4 abilities?

Not pointing or anything, just wanted to know. Thanks, looking forward to the next challenge.


Edit: Ghostrider sucks. Bad. Part 2 is bad too. You're better off watching a good movie you've already seen.

Sorry guys! But thank you for participating! Keep your eyes on the topic as the bonus round, which everyone who entered is elgible for is coming up after round 3!

ROUND 3:

So this is a 6 card entry. the first 5 are the points. the last card is a multiplier for those points. Multipliers can be based on any number from 1.1 to 1.6. This can dramatically boost your score, so think very carefully about your entries!
Also: YOU MAY ONLY EDIT YOUR ENTRIES ONCE, AND NO REPOSTS! This is critically important to your entries. If a post has been edited more than once, it is no longer valid and 0 points are awarded. Wording on cards is being taken into important consideration, so make sure your card is doing EXACTLY what you want it to do! This is the nit-picky round, so everything is important. Grammar, mechanics, casting cost, everything. Forget your card subtype? That's gonna cost points. Misspelled creature as craeture? That's gonna cost points. I cannot stress this enough, so MAKE SURE YOU READ YOUR ENTRIES VERY CAREFULLY BEFORE SUBMITTING! With that being said, here are the qualifications for round 3.

---

Cards 1 through 5:
I want a theme cycle. For example, the original 3 for 1 (dark ritual, lightning bolt, giant growth, healing salve, ancestral recall). The theme has to be consistent, fit the color pie(s) it falls under, and card types have to be shared. You can choose any theme you desire, any cardtype you desire, and color(s) you desire. You may choose an existing theme and continue it, or make a totally new one. Some things will grant more points than others (un-allied fastlands won't score very high, for instance). If any of this is unclear, please ask before posting and I will attempt to clarify further.
Card 6:
You signed on for MOTL, and you chose a username. That is your card. I want you to make me a card based around your username. It can be any card type, but it has to fit your username. You may add to your username (example: Gunslinga, Card guru), but your username has to be prevalent. Other than that you may not alter your username in ANY WAY (example: KGthelegend becoming "King God The legend"). This card is YOU and how you chose to reflect yourself on MOTL.

---

So that is round 3. You have 8 days from today (Monday, July 10) to submit your entries. And again:
POST CAREFULLY; IN THIS ROUND, ANY MISTAKE CAN COST YOU DEARLY!

@aetherstorm: I can't let you know my personal likes/dislikes, as then that is all I'm going to see. I have my personal tastes and if you cater to that, bonus points. If you don't, no big deal. But that's the secret to getting a 10/10. I can't give that away.
As for the 4 abilities on PW, If I gave that information away, then I could alter people's entries. And I don't want to do that now (see above). Not that 4 is bad, but it reminds me of 'ban jace now'. Also, he had 6 abilities.
Hope that clears it up for you!

Thanks 4 clearing it up, I understand.

However, I have got one question on our multiplier:

My username IS a card. What do I do now? Just use the cardname but reinvent another card with it?

Fair enough. Just thought it seemed weird he just copied the SoM cycle.

As such, really wish I would have moved on. My first round just was subpar.
