Shameless GoT reference. I was trying to create a devious, bastardly spymaster or distrustful alliance style character. If the partner fails, Eirinn will not hesitate to use them as a tool. I think it would be a good fit in the 99 of a deck that was already using a lot of legendary creatures, or one where having the Commander die is beneficial (niche, I know). She is pretty weak, just a growing vanilla creature, but maybe it's the right level for brawl (where there will be alot of historic matters and legendary creatures in play). A good partner card for her would be an equally devious spymaster rival, who wants to keep dying and returning to the Command zone to be recast.

@daij_Djan - Yeah, I should have had it worded like that. Attachment DeletedAttachment DeletedSo there isn't a frame for this, but this is a transform card that has the Level Up frame on the front and a regular creature frame (or in this case a full art one). The front can only Level Up while in the Command Zone and once he's at 3+ level counters, if you cast him he transforms as he's being cast. Hope that's not too outside the box. ~Zuty

Here is a Relentless Rats//Rat Colony commander Yrthim, the Piper Legendary Creature – Human Whenever a nonlegendary creature enters the battlefield, its controller may search their library for a creature card with the same name and put it into their hand. If they does, they shuffles their library. Whenever a creature enters the battlefield under your control, if Yrthim, the Piper is your commander, put a +1/+1 counter on each creature with the same name as that creature and on Yrthim, the Piper. 3/2

It changes how things are ordered, though. With scry 1 repeated, you can, at most, keep the one card from your library on top. With scry X, you can reorder the top cards of your library up to X cards deep. Scry 1 repeated is less of a boon than scry X, which is much more powerful of a tool.

I don't think it's a power-level thing. It's a "the rest of your group will murder you out of boredom" thing. Think of token decks, and despair.

Syntax question with Shanti: would an enchantment/equipment giving her an ability with “Target” also be changed to “Each”?

Text-changing effects are applied in a layer before adding / removing abilities, so any abilities added by auras / equipment / whatever wouldn't be affected. I think.

I'm short on time this week so I'm just going to give you your winners and if anyone would like an in depth critique of your entry, PM me and I will get back to just as soon as I can.
Winner: Flo00, It's a bit of convoluted way to get around the building restrictions in commander, but I positively love the idea of starting the game with an advantage. Then when you play the commander he fills more of a utility role facilitating that advantage.
Runner Up: Phoenix13, took me a second to get the Piper reference and realize he's a rat commander, I like that he fills that niche role where multiple copies matter. But his commander bonus is lacking, Relentless Rats already do a good job of buffing themselves so the +1/+1 counter is negligible. Would have preferred a keyword or some kind of protection.

Awesome, thanks for the win HvT!
Next Challenge: Make a commander that uses hybrid mana. (Can be in the mana cost or somewhere else.)

Edit: I got totally confused and did a planeswalker instead of a commander. I'll do one and upload it.
Edit2: Here it is
Edit3: Would someone have a better phrasing for the first line (the mana cost thing)?
Edit4: Ok, rephrased and fixed. Thank you kinotherapy and I think both phrases can be mixed like this

Akai Ryu : Imperiosaur would suggest "Spend only mana produced by basic lands to cast Swampspring Nymphs." and "Spend only mana produced by basic lands to activate Swampspring Nymphs' abilities." They need to be separate abilities since they function from separate zones. also you need to swap your and uwu

closed for judging. Please stand by.{Akai Ryu}Whoa, this is a strange card. It has a huge color density (wanting two mana of three different colors), but then they only want it from basic lands which makes mana fixing for those cost really hard. And then there is that activated ability that tells you to play a lot of forests (which should be capitalized in the text box by the way), which is again harder if you want mostly basic lands and not duals. The Nymphs definitely want to play Prismatic Omen and similar to fulfill all those requirements. At first I also thought this would be a nice synergy with Suppression Field, but then I realized that with the untap you get the same result. I think it's very hard to really make this card work, but if you manage to do and have enough forests, the Nymphs are going to be pretty deadly pretty fast. And I don't think paying two mana repeadedly to shoot your opponent in the face for a bunch of damage is a fun way to win. {kinotherapy}A strong card and a really nice Fearie tribal commander. I guess she also likes to play cards like Underworld Dreams and Megrim. I can't tell how easy the token creating gets our of hand, but I guess you'll usually get quite a bunch of tokens and thus draw quite the ammount of hate. The art looks like a mixture of Oona and an Ixalan merfolk XD {notfoxwolf}Personally I don't like landwalk abilities. Also Wizards stopped doing them, because they are a weird kind of color hate (and they are doing very few color hate in general nowadays). I like the other two abilities and how they interact with each other without necessarily needing each other to work. Since Kata costs hybrid cost, it means the card has to work both as monoblue and monoblack. I think it's ok since what he (she?) does is more of a bend than a color pie break.
{oddnanref}If you'd give Miran also an extra attack on his (her?) trigger, he'd be more expensive. This way he's a nice and cheap go wide commander that also really works in monowhite. Since he doesn't give you an extra combat step, why does he only trigger on the first attack? Even if you'd get some extra combat step, triggering his ability another time wouldn't be overpowered or something. I think you could just word it like battalion. Adn I think you mean to grant +1/+1 and first strike until end of turn?
{Casstastrophe}Annihilus is a real powerhouse. I see two problems with him: First the tecnical one: If you put that text on a magic card, the text gets quite small. The other thing is that he grants six abilities at different times to different creatures. I know if I played against him (or maybe even with him), I'd had to ask my oponent every second turn which of his creatures get what abilities. The card itself is not really a problem, but it just has too much going on at once.
{amechra}I really like the first ability. It can be really powerful but has this classic red chaos factor. Are you going to draw two lands? I guess the ability is really great if you want things like threshold, delirium, flashback and other graveyard machanics. Maybe it's even a bit too powerful, I don't know. I think the additional discard to draw isn't needed at all. Also It seems a bit redundant in face of the first ability.
{4d20}Counts. I just don't know why you'd ever pay more than on it. It's a mono-white commander. And she has already three white mana in her cost. I like the card overall, it's good but not overpowered. I just think the twobrid is unnecessary. I think twobrid in that place would make a lot more sense if she had another color than the activation cost. {fluffyDeathbringer}It's a good and simple hatebear. I just don't see why I would play her (him?) as a commander. It's very meta-dependent if this would be good and I don't see any build-around potential for her.
{wuzzle}Kalumina looks like a fun and interesting card and a nice build-around. The only thing I'm unhappy with is the last sentence. Permanents themselves don't cause abilities to trigger. It's the permanent leaving or entering the battlefield that may cause abilities to trigger. Another kind of weird formulation I can come up with is "Then, if no triggered abilities are waiting to be put on the stack, draw a card."
{winner}kinotherapy wins. Second place goes to wuzzle

Well, i had to go this way. Worthos, Confused and Lost Legendary Creature - Goblin ~ can't be you commander. You may cast ~ from public zone. ~ does not lose counters as he moves to public zones. 2/1
I'll be back with the actual entry. Edit:So for my entry I have something not sure it will work. Hepfa, Acumen of War Legendary Creature - Avatar First strike, indestructible You can't draw cards. Whenever a creature you control attacks you may exile the top card of your library. Until the end of your next turn, you may play those cards. 3/2

Zarvas the Single-Minded Legendary Creature - Ogre Shaman As long as ~ is in your command zone or on the battlefield, spells you cast can't target creatures or planeswalkers. Whenever a source you control would deal noncombat damage to a player, that player loses X life, where X is ~'s power. 2/5 Burn commander? Burn commander.
