<BB> Popcornia's Batteboard // [Arandu of the New Way]

Lady Mapi

Rudara ignored the obvious flirtation, and continued as if he were speaking only about what she required him for. "Indeed. Your work displays an intriguing amount of durability for the base material, even when compared to other logically tougher metals." She steps to the side, as to not force him out of the way when stepping away from the table. "As for why such resistant material is required, the reason is simple."

"These constructs are expected to engage in battle, and I expect many battles will require them in the coming days."

"Are you expecting an invasion? Or hosting one? Either way... there's a bit of a snag." I pulled a sheet of parchment out and started to jot down notes as I spoke.

"Leaving out a bunch of boring theory that would be literally meaningless to you - no offense - Ptulan glass is partially built from the creator's passion and intent. As such, it's not really something that any one person can mass-produce, or produce for general usage. For example, I can use it to create durable works of art, or a shield to defend myself from harm. But weapons? Not generally my thing."

I finished up my notes, and signed them with a flourish.

"However, you have a large number of people who would literally give their lives for you. As such, I've written out instructions that anyone who has ever worked with glass would be able to follow - it won't be as good as the real deal, but it'll be good enough."

Foundry Plans -
Artifact -
When Foundry Plans enters the battlefield, exile an artifact card from your hand.
If an artifact you control would be destroyed, you may exile it instead.
At the beginning of your upkeep, create a token that is a copy of an artifact card exiled by Foundry Plans.

Praetorian Foundry is... woah. I like the design, though I'm not sure it should be White (or, at least, monowhite). Maybe ? 8/10

The same book from earlier appears. As it enters, the room fills with the smell of blood. The pages appear clean enough and this time, they do not tell of a Worldshaker (or some similar prophecy) but rather they tell of the importance of freedom of all entities, large or small. 

Doctrine of Whims  
Enchantment
When CARDNAME enters the battlefield, gain control of target creature until end of turn. Untap it.
Creatures you control but don't own get +2/+0 and have haste and trample.
Be not swayed by the bindings of civilization. 

A few minutes after Karina and VIA pass through the Trial of Sacrifice, a vampire surrounded by a thin fog finds her way to the sphinx. Around her neck are the tokens of Order, Solidarity, and Renewal.

Alright so, what's the deal with this one? she asks the sphinx.

Doom from Within
Scheme
When you set this scheme in motion, you may cast target noncreature spell from an opponent's graveyard without paying its mana cost.

(if the trials don't work this way feel free to nosell this)

The vampire doesn't flinch as the spirit materializes and yells at her. False? What? I ran the trials. Got the tokens of our goddess. She holds up the amulets. Or is this another of the tests? Eesh. How much of this scaring people straight just scares them off?

Blind to Your Failures
Scheme
When you set this scheme in motion, choose a nonland permanent type. Blind to Your Failures deals damage to each opponent equal to the number of permanents of the chosen type they control.
"You build and expand, but for what? Broken ideas and selfish souls, destined to bring you back to the failure you began with."

Watcher of Oblivion - seems good 9/10

The vampire grinned, flashing her sharpened teeth.

Ah, but that's because I have long since learned them.

On my home plane of Pguqium, I faced injustice after injustice from a broken system. I know the dangers of a laws that hurt rather than support.

On Feraguo, I truly learned the value of working as one, working with Anne, Mari, and Xiong to rid the world of world-ending monstrosities.

And renewal? I can't even count. I was an aimless student. A demon-crazed thief. A victim in search of a cure. A champion of a goddess...

All she says is true, but there is a scent of deceit in her words.

The Truth Is Against You
Scheme
You may put this scheme fade down rather than setting it into motion. You may turn it face up and set it in motion at any time.
Until your next turn, abilities your opponents control can't be triggered or activated.
"Your lies have no power any longer."

---

Failure Was Never Your Option - hm, not a bad mechanic to mix up schemes. Might need more than one to make it really work tho :b would suggest something like Hidden Scheme for the type. 9/10

Through no will of my own, I assure you, she says, removing a fourth amulet from her neck, a plain looking band with a snowflake pendant. She held it up towards the sphinx and spirit, holding her smile. Here I was hoping running these things would finally be the solution I've been looking for. Oh well.

As she turns to leave, she tosses the amulet towards the brazier.

Your Flock Flees
Ongoing Scheme
Whenever a creature an opponent controls dies, return that card to the battlefield under your control.
Sacrifice two creatures: The archenemy abandons this scheme. Any player may activate this ability.

Faith in Knowledge - weird name, fine card. 8/10

Fleur

Rudara eyes the mysterious novel, but gives a rare expression at the scent of blood. She conjures a means to dispose of the book, and tosses it through, depositing it somewhere else on the plane. She had no time for artifacts such as this.

Doctrine of Whims: Act of Treason tribal, interesting. 8/10

Neottolemo preemptive assist defending Rudara if there's no follow up attack oops ignore me

As the island strikes back at Lindri, the air grows frigid around her, attempting to slow her movements.

Leave Them To Die
Covert Scheme
(Rather than set this scheme in motion, you may leave it face down. You may look at it and may turn it face up to set it in motion at any time.)
When you set this scheme in motion, until your next turn, whenever a permanent target player controls becomes untapped, that permanent deals 1 damage to its controller.
"It's no use. Just let them go."

Neottolemo

Lindri is easily able to swerve out of the way of the molten spectacle, an easy thing to do when time had bent its will to another. It was rather easy to convince when you knew what you were doing.

Which hopefully didn't surprise the warlord that she was not alone in such abilities, as several more molten fists seemed to materialize around her in the blink of an eye.

Chronophobia: Yeah, that riding ability is not fun. It basically requires to check for something that can change at any time and is super easy to maintain, plus it keeps it locked from untapping outside of the untap step. Neat idea, but no. 3/10

CARD: Interestingly, there aren't really any canon cards that compare to this, so I'm mostly eyeballing here. Essence Backlash is a 2UR essence scatter stapled onto a similar effect. This could probably be 2UR I think, especially since Backlash is common. Might be wrong though. 7.5/10 

No. 

The book does not fly through the portal, instead opting to remain on the plane, pulling out what appears to be an array of several hundred different knives, pointing them at Rudara. It seems that the book wants to spar, except not a friendly spar. There's another word for that: attempting to kill someone.

Hundred-Blade Vengeance
Enchantment  
When CARDNAME enters the battlefield, it deals 2 damage to each of up to one-hundred targets. 
Whenever a creature or planeswalker dies, its controller loses 1 life. 
Never underestimate bringing a knife to a gun fight.

Neottolemo

The moment the fists were even within even a kilometer of the city, a large bolt of energy snaked between them, disintegrating the offending material before it decimated whatever remained surrounding Lindri. Rock and flecks of magma scattered through the air, clouding Lindri's vision before it eventually settled, falling to the ground far below.

Amidst the clearing debris and floating, just as Lindri was herself, was a tall, pale woman. Where Lindri's wings were the purest white, this woman's were of the blacknest feather, and her wingwspan was far greater. In one hand she wielded a iron staff, her other five extended out, palms open towards Lindri. The woman's eyes were of the brightest amber shade, and were staring straight through her.

It seemed she had tipped the hive, so to speak.

"Lindri of Thari. You attack my people, insult my holds, and threaten to destroy this plane for the sake of the petty goal of conquest and war. All you have done has been to threaten, decimate, and destroy all in your path, and nothing but bring low anyone in your sight, even your supposed allies. Now you threaten to destroy my city for nothing but your own entertainment."

Rudara's free hands clenched into fists and her brow lowered. To those familiar with the goddess, this was more emotion than she usually allowed herself to show.

"You will cease your games, scatter your armies, and return to whatever pathetic, desecrated world you came from."

"Or I will force you to leave this plane."

Lindri, Stonesinger: Should be rare, by virtue of walkers with plus abilities being rare or higher. Fine otherwise. 7/10

Neottolemo 

Rudara gave the slightest reaction, raising a brow and opening her mouth the slightest at the intrusion from the three titans now standing behind the warlord, before she recomposed herself. Her staff left her hand, falling to the ground as she freed her sixth hand, and held it forward in sequence with the rest. She gave Lindri and the titans a resolute look as the attack approached her, and spoke.

"If you will not go, then you will die."

Far below, the staff stopped in mid air, as if suddenly plucked from its fall, before turning parallel to Rudara. Energy began to crackle around the aged iron, before a blast of energy erupted from the earth beneath it, struck the staff, and refracted, shooting upwards towards Rudara and coalescing around her.

"And if you cannot be killed, I will remake you into something new."

The energy then erupted forth, washing over the Titan's attacks and towards Lindri herself. The aether crackled at the edges of the attack, tearing even the air away from reality.

...What would it being forth when the spell was done?

{Call for Aid - Silence: M11}

Lindri, Heir of Destruction: Samut the Tested sort of with black effects in tow, except the ultimate is tribal. Eh. 6/10
