"Hey Entelan! Cover me with the fliers, I'll keep that thing off you!" Nadejda's mech shifts around her, becoming sleeker, nimbler, synchronizing its movements with the geomancer and pigeons in what is almost an earthshaking dance.Distortion Drogue Artifact — Vehicle  Cadence (Whenever you cast a spell, if its mana value is greater than this Vehicle's power, put a +1/+1 counter on this creature.)Whenever a +1/+1 counter is placed on Distortion Drogue, you may have it become a creature until end of turn. 1/1 The MV2 and MV4 spells in this defense get this up to a 3/3 that can block and kill the Horror; the Birds can let it survive that block with their damage prevention, instead of having to trade themselves. Aylin's stone connects with the shrieking tiger abomination, driving straight through its skull and out the other side. The creature's cries abruptly stop and it flies aside with the stone's momentum.
Leira's summons take formation around the shifting mech. The giant gives another strangled gurgle, then makes a desperate lunge for Nadejda. Her nimble mecha will likely easily dodge the attack.
Of course, she is not the target.
The giant's remaining hand grabs at the dispatched tiger creature. From the rift, the second giant pulls itself into the Arena, grabbing at the leg of its prone brother.
As the aether birds attack the creatures, a glow fills all of creatures, the tiger, the giants, the birds, glowing brighter and brighter and brighter....
The earth shakes under the heavy crunch of the fusion's arm against the ground. Three pairs of wings unfurl and flap, sending a strong gust against its foes.
Shadows roll off it as it rights itself from its position. It is as tall as the giants had been, but far sturdier now. Glowing eyes seem to appear from all over the creature wherever the rolling shadows break.
Both arms hit the ground again with another thunderous groan of the earth. On all fours, it gallops for the mech.
Birds of White Noise - not sure that's a rare? i guess the two for one potential is real 9/10
Distortion Drogue - very fun duder 10/10
Steal the Spotlight - lookin good 9/10

Aylin sighs in exasperation.
"I did not come back here to be ignored!" she says at the creature that seemingly has no regards for her "Also, making the ground shake is my gimmick and I already faced someone here who stole it from me... I'm not in the mood to let a wannabee steal my thunder!"She places her hands on the ground, causing it to shake erratically around the giant in order to hinder its advance towards the mech."Let me show you how it's done" she says as a smirk crosses her face.Hoarder's ScrapyardLand  : Add  .  , : Gain control of target artifact you own.

Nadejda and Aylin can both hear a woman's voice in their head. If they're familiar enough with aether, they might feel Leira drawing the aether to do this. "If you've got range, you should use it. We came ready to deal some damage." She was already trying to stay back, but after helping Nadejda, some of her birds are now moving to try to prevent the creature from getting closer, and more are coming into existence to move themselves to Aylin and Nadejda.
Leira isn't the only one doing anything. The other Entelan managed to find a position, using the outpost as cover. Their rifle is quickly slung into position and sighted. For any people watching them -- and Rel is certainly one of those people -- they have absurdly steady aim, and when they first pull the trigger, the only thing that happens is a small purple helix of magic winds itself about half a meter past the end of the barrel. And then, all at once, the helix snaps back into the rifle and a glowing purple projectile leaves the barrel. In around half a second, the projectile connects to the creature. The aether in the projectile, the aether in the creature, and the aether in the birds in the general vicinity of the creature react with the projectile's casing, generating an explosion of heat and energy. The birds near the allies move to absorb the brunt of the explosion's energy and any potential debris, but the allies may still feel the force and heat of the fireball.
Is pinnacle "pay WUBRG"? Otherwise I have no idea what pinnacle is. Otherwise card seems fine, 7/10.

Instant Cast this spell only during combat, before attackers are declared. Until end of turn, whenever a creature attacks, its controller sacrifices it at the end of combat. "Think very carefully if the risk is worth the reward."(no need to rate this card since it is literally of no use to me XD, I will be rating your response tho) |

Only during beginning of combat is weird; given it sets up triggered abilities, which means casting it after declare attackers does nothing anyhow, it's probably not worth having that line of text. 7/10
Advanced Warning
Instant
All creatures gain "When this creature dies, return it to the battlefield under its owner's control." until end of turn.
A few moments' notice is the difference between being alive and being killed by your partner's attack. |

Aylin witnesses the explosion happening immediately in front of her."Showoff" she whispers while the blast silences her words.On any other day she would've rejoice at such a gratuitous show of violence, and she's itching to go face her next opponent, but she needs to leave something clear before proceeding."Whoever said that, don't ever do that again" she says looking at the people around her, knowing the creature was too unintelligent to be capable of telepathy "this is private, nobody's allowed in here" she says as she taps her right temple "don't make me side with those creatures!"Once she believes her message has come across, she rushes towards the Abandoned Shops, disregarding whether or not the rest of the party is following her.Fair Warning Instant Cast this spell only during combat, before attackers are declared.

Create two 1/1 colorless Soldier artifact creature tokens. They gain haste until end of turn and must be blocked this turn if able. "They'll never know what hit them."
I think this should be construed as an "aid" to Leira's defense, albeit one that's deliberately antisynergistic. |

WindyDelcarlo: Advanced Warning: neat variant of Second Sunrise and Faith's Reward. Doesn't prevent the implicit "fogging combat" aspect of my card but does bring interesting strategic decisions as a blink effect letting you also potentially trigger dying effects. 9/10. cyberchronometer: We Give no Warning: you call it antisynergistic, I call it a valid alternative XD. I'm not the best at judging schemes but I like the design space. 9/10.
