Legendary Creature -- Human Noble  When ~ enters the battlefield, create a Treasure token for each creature card and land card in your graveyard. Whenever you sacrifice a permanent, you gain 1 life. If you sacrificed a creature, you gain life equal to that creature's toughness instead. 3/3
Hopefully I'll be able to make a quality render.

Ashiok, Wielder of Nightmares    Legendary Planeswalker - Ashiok   : Each player reveals the top card of their library. Exile one of them with a dream counter on it, then each player puts the top four cards of their library into their graveyard.  : Until your next turn, you may play cards exiled with a dream counter and you may spend mana as though it were mana of any color to cast them.  : Exile each opponent’s graveyard. You get an emblem with “If a card would be put into an opponent’s graveyard from anywhere, exile it whith a dream counter instead and that player loses 1 life.” Ashiok, Wielder of Nightmares can be your commander.  |

Mowu, Last Protector   Legendary Creature - Hound  Vigilance Whenever a source would deal damage to a planeswalker you control, you may remove a +1/+1 counter from ~ and prevent all damage that source would deal this turn. Whenever a Yanggu planeswalker you control uses a loyalty ability, put a +1/+1 counter on ~. 3/3 Based off of Mowu, Loyal Companion, and synergyzing with Jiang Yanggu, Wildcrafter, and in the case of commander with Jiang Yanggu as well as any other possible Yanggu planeswalkers that would be printed alongside this card. Also have a render using Aggressive Instinct's art.

Davriel, the Shadowcloaked Legendary Creature - Human Wizard Whenever ~ attacks, each opponent discards a card. At the beginning of each opponent's upkeep, that player sacrifices permanents equal to the number of cards in their hand less than four. 2/2 I think I worded this wrong/could have worded this better, I just couldn't figure out how to |

snakevennom143 maybe word it like The Rack & friends: At the beginning of each opopnent’s upkeep, that player sacrifices X permanents, where X is 4 minus the number of cards in their hand.

Not gonna lie, I don't put in the usual effort when fluffy is going to judge because I know I won't get a fair shake. No need to attack people like that, if you have a problem with fluffy resolve it peacefully. I'm not attacking anyone? I tried to put in full-effort entries when Fluffy was the challenge giver and he offered no real critiques with just "not good enough" commentary. If I'm not going to get an honest effort from him, why would I put one in? I still get to toss around ideas, I just don't really revisit them if the idea turns out worse than I initially anticipated. Syr Alin, Paragon of the Court   Legendary Creature - Human Knight First strike Other knights you control have first strike. Soldiers you control are Knights in addition to their other types. Creatures you control get +1/+1 as long as they are attacking or blocking. 3/3 I'm not attacking anyone? I tried to put in full-effort entries when Fluffy was the challenge giver and he offered no real critiques with just "not good enough" commentary. If I'm not going to get an honest effort from him, why would I put one in? I still get to toss around ideas, I just don't really revisit them if the idea turns out worse than I initially anticipated. 1) I provided specific things (unnecessarily strict drawback when compared to the rest of the abilities, flavour-wise deliberately incomplete due to being a reference to a story you never actually told. no, "this depicts something that happened in a dnd campaign once" doesn't count) about the entry that detracted from it. not just "not good enough" you'd know this if you'd actually read my judge post as opposed to whatever else it is you did.
2) I offer you an opportunity to hash out whatever's up your craw with me in DMs, and now, two rounds later, you're still posting in the thread about it? at this point, you're choosing to derail everyone else's good time with this I was away for the month. I saw all of this when I got back. People misread what I was trying to say, so I wanted to be clear about it. You've already proven yourself to be petty and vindictive. There's nothing gained by trying to talk to you in DMs. |

Aightyo, let's get somethin' figured out here! FluffyAwww, I like Friend of Wolves. Interesting, quite fitting for Selesnya, dunno how amazing it'd be as a Brawl commander tho. You'd prolly need something good to be able to boost this boy and make it work attacking with him and his pup.
Kefke Not the LARGEST fan, cause some of the stuff is just funky. Lands being artifacts and allowing access to improvise doesn't do much, cause they'd tap to add 1 to an artifact spell anyway. It'd be better for affinity or something (though WAY more broken). A -2 basic land search in mono color for 6 is just not very great or exciting, too. First ability I really like tho! Daij DjanPretty great, honestly. Not much criticism, I like all her abilities. They don't really synergize, per-se, but are just good Chandra abilities. Could maybe cost 1 less if it was 2RR? virissOne of my favorite gameplay styles is mill, but I always feel mill via combat damage to be a bit of a trap. If I'm doing combat damage, and able to consistently, I might as well just kill you with that, it's faster. It's almost a win-more scenario. I do like everything else about the card tho.
sdfkjghThe gain control clause might be a BIT too much for 2 mana. This is just an overall really good card for a 2 mana planeswalker, I'd tone down the numbers just a tad. But I do like all the abilities. burntsquirrelmanI actually love this card, it has great support from all four colors, is a great evolution of its previous cards. I would totally make it "other elemental creatures" though, otherwise field wipe and swing for game with just this friend might be a big too strong. FLAREdirectorAnother good evolution of a previous card, I like the synergy quite a bit. A good card! Flo00The ult is a tad underwhelming since it requires you to still actually have Ashiok afterwards, unless Dream counters were a thing in the set. Interesting though! melonoMowu is possibly my favorite card in standard, and this is a really good evolution of him! I absolutely love this card. If only there that one ability that let you have two commanders here. snakevennom143Davriel is one of my favorite Planeswalkers alive right now, interesting how you didn't make him a Planeswalker. Anyway, this feels... weird. I assume you meant if they have 4 cards in hand, they sac 4 permanent, zero sacced for 5, and zero sacced for having zero cards? That's... a really wild balancing act, and I feel the first clause just completely negates it. Honestly just the second clause alone would probably be enough here. thegoldenscarabKrenko is one of my favorite boys. Fits him well, great for Goblin decks. I'm sad there was a lot of good Goblin fuel recently, but Krenko didn't fit the deck perfectly. So this is really nice! I like how it discreetly stops any possible cheese, too. bouncing to exile then back to battlefield cards might be a bit wild with this tho? Prolly fine.
This games winner is...burntsquirrelman !!! This one was actually REALLY hard, FLAREdirector and Melono were pretty close runners up here. Great job everyone! |

Do keep in mind that it applies to creatures as well, which do interact with Improvise. Also, there's a lot of cards that care about artifacts in play, other than just ones with Improvise or Affinity. |

I don't think I've ever won one of these contests before O.O
...WOO! Thank you for the win! And I was debating between doing "All" versus "You control" for a good chunk of making Omnath, to the point where I thought maybe I should make a different card. I'm happy that I did well even though!
So, a big thing I have started noticing, even with my own cards, is the costs to play them. Very often I'll see 3's, 4's, and 5's for cmc. On a few rare occasions, for really powerful cards, I'll see 6 or 7. For this challenge, Design a Commander that has a hefty price to pay.

Is 10 hefty enough for ya?
Greatmaw, Heir to Svogthir  Legendary Creature--Zombie Beast Warlock Consume (Your creatures can help cast this spell. Each creature you sacrifice while casting this spell pays for or two mana in any combination of that creature’s colors.)
Trample, vigilance, deathtouch, hexproof, aggressor
Greatmaw, Heir to Svogthir enters the battlefield with an additional two +1/+1 counters on it for each creature it consumed.
, Remove a +1/+1 counter from Greatmaw, Heir to Svogthir: Return target creature card from a graveyard to its owner’s hand. 4/4
Aggressor means it must attack each combat if able. |

Does that have to be a high mana cost, as you said in your post, or can it be an additional cost?
Re: Greatmaw:
If it has a way of reducing the cost is it really expensive?

Well, that cost reduction requires a loss of creatures, so I'd say it's fairly dear. You're almost never casting it on an empty board, that's for sure. I could change consume to only work with nontoken creatures, but then it wouldn't mirror convoke and devour so well. |

I specifically worded it as "Hefty Price" as opposed to something like "cost 7 or greater" because of creatures like Hogaak, who technically costs a whopping 7 mana, but is actually just a free 8/8 Trample.

One hefty creature coming right up. Trembler, Living Earthquake Legendary Creature — Elemental Haste, trample Other creatures you control have trample Whenever Trembler, Living Earthquake attacks, creatures you control get +10/10 until end of turn 10/10 EDIT: Apparently Earthshaker is already a card. Just changed the name |

 Veleep, the Souleater Legendary Creature - Imp Advisor As an additional cost to cast CARDNAME, pay half your life, rounded up. Flying, lifelink When CARDNAME enters the battlefield, you draw three cards. 2/1 |

So, does that mean that my entry still counts? Because it's cmc 10 or 2n mana less plus n creatures sacrificed. Is that not hefty enough of a price? |

Vurnistan, The Flame Apparent -  Legendary Creature - Dragon Haste, Flying Whenever Vurnistan deals combat damage to a creature, you may cast an instant or sorcery spell from your graveyard targeting that creature's controller without paying its mana cost. The filthy savor of mana is like a heady wine to him.6/6

@ lizstar: Big thanks for your comments, glad you liked my entry 
@ burntsquirrelman: I don't think sdfkjgh asks for feedback on his entry in particular, I think the basic question (which I'm asking before I ponder about an entry myself) is: Are cost reduction abilities even allowed for your challenge? |
|
|
|
Post by kefke on Dec 7, 2019 1:10:30 GMT
  Six creatures may not seem too hefty, but consider that it's exile from graveyard, which means you can't cheat with tokens and have a semi-hard limit to how many times it can be cast. |

Post by burntsquirrelman on Dec 7, 2019 1:14:35 GMT
You can include cost reductions, but for this challenge, they reductions to mana should still have you paying heavily in another way.
