WindyDelcarlo Seska nods, observing Leira's magic before stepping towards her and extending a hand. "Name's Seska. If you're as familiar with aether as I think you are, maybe we have something we could both learn from each other." {Gift Card - Blazing Contrails} 
Aerial Passage: Neat, I think the +1/+1 counter and a token (at minimum) is cool, 9/10.

WindyDelcarlo Seska nodded, before a rumble emerged behind them. Though Leira might be surprised by it, Seska merely raised a brow as a hulking brute of an elemental dug itself out from soil between two trees, towering over them and staring intently. "Ah, there you are. What did you see?" Seska stepped forward to meet the creature, the elemental lowering it's head for Seska to reach up to its side. They were still for a moment, before Seska stepped away, and the elemental unbowed. "I've been somewhat plagued by all sorts of summons since I became a student at Hoclund. At least as I grew older they became more useful to me." She turned back to face Leira, the elemental holding it's place. "There seems to be some amount of sinkage to the south, several meters of forest are already beginning to slip towards the sinkhole. We should probably get to higher ground before the ground falls out beneath us."{Response Card - Knollstone Brute} 
Aetheric Surveyor - Should be uncommon, but I like it. 7/10

"Agreed. Let's get to somewhere safer."
This creature isn't missing a word from it's text box, so it's probably fine compared to Primeval Titan. 4-mana 4/3 rampy thing. 9/10

Exile target creature, then return it to the battlefield tapped under its owner's control. If it was a Spirit, Elemental, Illusion, or Aetherborn, put a +1/+1 counter on it. |

WindyDelcarlo Seska nods, sword flaring in white-plasma before she flourished it in the direction opposite of the sinkhole, a path forming from the material that led them upwards. "The ground here is liable to slip in at any time if we're not careful, hopefully this should be a safe enough passage for us." Seska turned to face the elemental that had appeared earlier, and gestured upwards. It seemed to understand, and began making it's way up from the sinkhole. {Gift Card - Aether Guideway} 
Reconstitute - Tribal for a weird collection of four types like Swarmyard has precedent, and I like the flavor of it being something that is or could be made from aether or elemental stuff. Sort of a tap, evasion, and power up in one, like a beefed up Long Road Home. 8/10

WindyDelcarlo The two reach relative safety before long, standing well above the lip of the sinkhole at the bottom of the valley between them. The trail of aether petered out, and Seska stepped back onto solid ground, giving a short pant as she turned back to Leira. "Should be safe now. You have something in mind for this? I'm not exactly familiar with how to...deal with magical anomalies like this." Seska looked around, furrowing her brow as she observed the landscape from their new vantage point. "Could have some unseen effects, given how much aether is being emitted, and I don't exactly trust myself in a place with so much of it just floating around." {Gift? Card - Material Exchanger} 
Triangular Cartography: Can make a lot of clue tokens relatively easy, I think this should be rare, at least, or have some other restriction. 6/10

The golden shimmer returns over her eyes. The dragonfly, which at this point is high enough to be barely visible against the sky, hovers and turns to point downwards towards another of the dragonflies. "According to Varei, I need to get how large it is, how rapidly it's expanding, and how dense the aether is. Apparently a normal stabilization grid should do, but he needs to know how many stabilizers and how to position them."
Material Exchanger needs to reveal and probably be uncommon because repeated card advantage. Otherwise like it. 8/10
Lone Hope
Instant 
Cast this spell only if you control exactly one creature.
Target creature gains protection from everything until end of turn. It can block any number of creatures this turn. Untap it. |

WindyDelcarlo Seska nods, watching Leira as she utilized her dragonflies for some form of measurement. Indirect, and likely somewhat rudimentary, but effective. It would have been a quite useful trick for anyone studying at Hoclund. "I see. Well, I observed everything I could personally, but I presume your organization will have a better idea how to approach it than me. I'll be happy to lend a hand if possible, should you need it. Even if my understanding pales in comparison to yours." She waits for any response or confirmation on her offer, before departing from the valley. She was done here, for now.
Lone Hope: I'm not really sure how to judge this, given it's sort of like a reverse boardwipe? I think it's too good. 6/10

One of Estova's daggers flies towards Seiva. She pushes her arm to her side and closes her eyes, envisioning the dagger stuck in a wall of ice. She feels the flat blade of the knife bounce off her chest, scrunches her eyes, and then takes a look. The wall did come out this time. That was progress. It was still much too slow, but it was progress. Seiva let the wall disintegrate. "Again."
"You sure you don't want to take a break?" Estova tries to convince her. "We're not really--"
"Absolutely not." Estova goes silent. "I'm the only one that's not capable of doing my job right now. Sitting around, waiting for something to happen..." Seiva lifts her hands in the absence of words. "That's not good enough."
"Really, it's okay. You can calm down, work on recovering. We've got plenty of people around here."
"It's not." Seiva produces a shard of ice and sends it into the sky. Instead of going straight, as she would have preferred, the crystal veers off to the left. "My duties, the ones that I was given when I was able to do them." Another pause. "Because I haven't recovered yet, they've been shunted onto everyone else. We're in the middle of dealing with an interplanar threat... You all have far more important things to do than babysit me while I can't do it myself."
Estova looks at Seiva with a slight head tilt. "As though we're not already busy without having to throw spells at you to no end. Don't you have a way to do this on your own?"
Seiva looks into the sky past Estova, thinking through her options.
"We can handle your jobs until you're done recovering. If you're going to do it faster, try not to take us away from them to do it."
"... Alright, I'll find... something else."

Briar flew in towards the EPIC outpost, carrying one of her faeries in her arms. Not far behind her, a few other sickly faeries fluttered, working on helping each other forward. "We need... something!" she says as she approaches, "I don't know what's wrong, everyone is getting sick, some are going crazy, it won't stop, it, I, they..." Briar sputters in a panic. A black oil is dripping from the eyes of the faerie she carries. Harsh Measures  Enchantment As Harsh Measures enters the battlefield, choose one of flying, first strike, deathtouch, double strike, haste, hexproof, indestructible, lifelink, menace, prowess, protection, reach, trample, and vigilance. Creatures with the chosen ability get -1/-1. on flying, as it were.

"Right, yeah, okay..." Seiva replies eventually. "We're working on a solution. Follow me."
(Seiva intends to lead Briar to Ani and his setup, who is in a better situation to explain everything else.)
Harsh Measures's most likely use case is probably flying? Probably more limited than Illness in the Ranks, so it's probably fine. 8/10 Moments of Life Instant  If a creature you control would die this turn, exile it instead. At the beginning of your next upkeep, return it to the battlefield tapped under your control. |

Seiva is the one currently available at the Outpost when Briar arrives. While she seems surprised, briefly, she also already knows what happened, so before saying anything to Briar, she immediately alerts Ani and Haia.
"Right, yeah, okay..." Seiva replies eventually. "We're working on a solution. Follow me."
(Seiva intends to lead Briar to Ani and his setup, who is in a better situation to explain everything else.) The big faerie kept pace with Seiva, but the others were starting to lag behind. "Oh, good, Ani," she says as they approach him, "you seem to know things, what is wrong with my faeries?" she shouts in her tiny voice, lifting up the oil-stained faerie. Enchantment Whenever a creature enters the battlefield under your control, it gets +X/+X and gains haste until end of turn, where X is the greatest power among other creatures you control.
Moments of Life - rip faerie tokens, killed by trying to save them via flicker. still nice effect tho 9/10

Appeal to Elders at worst gives haste to all your things, but that's also the worst thing Rhythm of the Wild does, so this is probably good. 9/10 Focus Instant Choose target creature you control. Whenever that creature deals combat damage to a player this turn, draw two cards. Aethercast -- If  was spent to cast this spell, that creature gets +1/+1 until end of turn and can't be blocked this turn. |

WindyDelcarlo I like Seiva's combo potential. Doesn't quite feel flashy enough for mythic, though. I'm also not sure why you didn't use the standard "~ doesn't untap during your untap step" wording for the first ability, but that's a minor quibble. Oh, and "Storm-Struck" is a great epithet. I'll say 9/10.The woman smiles as her skin begins to liquefy, crackling like an egg dropped on a hot sidewalk. Her hair fades to a dull gray and she stoops over, gritting her teeth. At last her skin hardens again, now dry and wrinkled, and an old woman slowly hobbles over to greet Seiva.
"Excuse me, young lady." She hands Seiva a silver rectangle with angular symbols engraved in it. "I'm Keltria Vennem, emissary of the Hub. It's come to our attention that your civilization has recently developed interplanar travel, and I have been sent to review it for a potential invitation to the Known Worlds League.

WindyDelcarlo Interplanar Checkpoint: Being a land makes this feel like a bit too low of an opportunity cost for how well it counters any "fair" creature-based aggro decks in the format. But I'd like it just fine as an artifact (or an enchant land, like Underworld Connections), and the flavor is nice. 8/10.
The woman's lined face remains impassive, though her eyes quickly dart about the settlement before settling back on Seiva. "You ever met a Phyrexian? I have. They've fallen far from the world-devouring threat you've clearly heard about. They don't even have the technology to pass for human anymore."

Seiva tosses thoughts around, nodding her head back and forth as she decides what to do. "Unfortunately, we are far too familiar with how quickly an unarmed spellcaster can cause havoc, and our bindings only work on people that use our method of aethercasting. As I'm sure you can imagine, I'm... reluctant to let people I don't know travel through to Entela..." Seiva's eyes light up. "Though, if you need to see our technology in action, similar single-point tunnels are in use by a local apothecary. I could send Leira to guide you to one of her tunnel locations and you could observe it."Surprise Strike would be neat if not for Colossus Hammer making it part of a turn 3 (2, if you have a turn-1 double striker or infecter) kill. 7/10 Magebinders Artifact - Equipment Equipped creature gets +1/+1 and has vigilance.

"Oh, he-- ah. Uh. Ah, ah, huh. Yeah, uh, okay, this is... this is bad. Okay, yeah. So, uh..." Ani's eyes are flicking around to each of the faeries, and each and every time he changes faeries, a different concern pops into his mind. What if this one's too hurt? What if I screw it up? What if... "Right, this is... Sorry, focus." As Ani says the word 'focus, he claps his hands together, and a golden color takes over his eyes. Another shimmer of magic happens without any further hand motions or words, and his words now work to the non-Briar faeries. "Okay, now, that should help a bit. Right, so." Ani starts pointing at each of the faeries as if counting. "This is an... infection, made by things from a plane called Phyrexia. It'll corrupt things it touches unless it's killed, and once it gets too far apparently it'll turn them against their friends. I've been testing on plants, so I haven't seen that yet."Ani does another count, this time counting the ones that might not survive the procedure. Once that one's done, he tries to find the least-poisoned faerie he can find to make sure that he can show a working procedure. "I... We've been working on something to counteract it. It's not fully ready yet, but I can stop... some of it. I don't... I don't fully know what'll happen if I try to kill oil that's taken over something important, but anything else I can do safely for sure." "Anything, do anything, it has to be better than this." Twisted Cure Instant Destroy target nonland permanent, then choose one— • Create an enchantment token with "At the beginning of your upkeep, you lose 1 life."
• That permanent's control creates a token with "At the beginning of your upkeep, you gain 1 life."
Focus - aethercast is weird with this at instant speed, you're usually just going to throw this on something that's through unblocked anyway. 7/10

"Oh, he-- ah. Uh. Ah, ah, huh. Yeah, uh, okay, this is... this is bad. Okay, yeah. So, uh..." Ani's eyes are flicking around to each of the faeries, and each and every time he changes faeries, a different concern pops into his mind. What if this one's too hurt? What if I screw it up? What if... "Right, this is... Sorry, focus." As Ani says the word 'focus, he claps his hands together, and a golden color takes over his eyes. Another shimmer of magic happens without any further hand motions or words, and his words now work to the non-Briar faeries. "Okay, now, that should help a bit. Right, so."

This card seems very powerful. I'm not sure what I'm supposed to choose on this, which is probably a good thing. This is now a card I want to play. The second token needs to be an enchantment too, though. 10/10 Aether Treatment Instant When target creature you control dies this turn, return it to the battlefield tapped with a +1/+1 counter on it. |
