<BB> FourEyes's Battle Board [The Miller Estate]

Bulwark Ant: 8/10. Seems cool, but doesn't have a rarity on it.

This is such a weird plane...

"Weird... how? If you don't mind me asking." Atlani slings her bag off of her back, and sets it on the ground next to her. She watches Anne's movements closely, trying and failing to diagnose the "weirdness". "You certainly look a bit... tense?"

Soothing Poultice 
Artifact 
When ~ enters the battlefield, draw a card.
, , Sacrifice ~: Remove two -1/-1 counters from target creature you control.

Formic Infiltrator: 9/10. I see nothing wrong with it.

Regardless of her attempts to cover it up, Atlani catches on to the slip-up, and she gives Anne a knowing smile.

"'You humans call it'? I've met plenty of other races, but I've never seen anyone that looks so much like a human that isn't one. Unless you're a shapeshifter?"

Paranoid of the Paranormal
Creature - Human 
Whenever an opponent discards a card, that player loses 1 life.
1/1
"Aha! I knew something wasn't right!"

Vindictive Vanguard: 4/10. Um. I think I'd rather make "Whenever you lose life, don't" cost more than 3 mana.

"My name is Atlani Swiftblade. As you've correctly guessed, I'm a human." Atlani extends a hand. "If not a shapeshifter, then what would you call yourself?"

Warm Welcome 
Instant 
Two target players each gain 3 life and create a 1/1 white Human creature token.

Subject N3: 4/10. I feel bad for doing this to the first post after a hiatus, and after giving 4/10 to the last card, but this card deserves to be torn apart a bit as a fun exercise in planeswalker design. So I get that it's supposed to be a planeswalker that supports other planeswalkers, but I think this could only see play in commander. In any other format I'd rather have Lightning Helix because you're probably not going to have enough planeswalkers in your deck for this to be as useful as it should be (Unless you're playing War of the Spark, I guess). Looking at the closest canon card, Chandra, Acolyte of Flame has a 0 that does something and lets you use her last ability as soon as you play her. Anne's last ability suffers from the same issue: Jace, Cunning Castaway can make copies of himself, but his other two abilities do stuff. Really it's just that she's only useful if you have other planeswalkers on the battlefield, which, maybe that's what you're going for, but I'd change her up a bit and make her uncommon. The passive is fun for flavor, but realistically doesn't mean anything because as far as I know only green is the only color that would care about it.

Atlani's face betrays a harsh mix of confusion, concern, and disbelief, which she tries to wipe away as she shakes Anne's hand.

"An ant? As in the tiny ones? I don't think I've ever seen anything grow that much, even with magic." 

Transform Spirit 
Sorcery 
Destroy target creature. Its controller creates a 1/1 white Spirit creature token with flying.

Giantblood Ant: 7/10. It's by no means bad, but I think Oran-Rief Invoker just doesn't work as well in red.

"How strange." Atlani motions for Anne to follow her. "What's it like, being that small?"

Scout's Report 
Artifact 
~ enters the battlefield with a +1/+1 counter, a haste counter, a trample counter, and a vigilance counter.
Whenever another creature enters the battlefield under your control, move a counter from ~ onto it.

Border Patroller: 9/10. I still kinda want it to cost  more.

Atlani continues walking into the wilderness, venturing into a sparse forest, but listening attentively to Anne.

"I had no idea ants led such complex lives. Were these scouts also ants, or other creatures?" 

Take a Break 
Instant 
Creatures can't attack this turn.

Inspiring Knight: 8/10. Missing a rarity, but this feels like a good common or an okay uncommon.

Atlani follows Anne's gaze, but doesn't see the ant.

"How long have you been human? I imagine the size difference makes it easier to avenge them."

Tempting Offer 
Sorcery 
As an additional cost to cast ~, pay 2 life and sacrifice a creature.
Create a 6/6 black Demon creature token with flying and trample.

Familiar Worker: 9/10. Hm. Land tutor in white is unusual, but this is a decent way of doing it.

Atlani follows Anne's gaze, finally finding the ant hidden in the grass. "Someone you know?"

Khoralith Ravager 
Creature - Elemental 
Whenever a land enters the battlefield under your control, ~ deals 1 damage to any target. If that land was a Mountain it deals 2 damage to any target instead.
3/3

Spark-Laden Worker: 9/10. Given Ignite the Beacon, having a 3 mana sorcery planeswalker tutor isn't bad.

Atlani backs off a bit. Her hand hovers between her bow and her sword, though her stance conveys more confusion than aggression. She says nothing, letting Anne perform whatever ritual is going on.

Spark-Laden Warrior 
Creature - Insect 
Planeswalkers you control enter the battlefield with an additional loyalty counter.
1/1

---

Sure, I'll play along with planeswalker tribal

Anne's Farmer: 8/10. Nice and simple, but maybe too simple. I do like the apparent lore of her sharing her spark. Untap target Plains is a... weird effect. I don't wanna say it's bad, but I think it should be "Untap target creature or land" and make her cost 

The warrior stepped back, shocked that an ant, not even an inch high, had become not only several feet high, but human, or at least something that would pass as human.

I can practically hear the gears turning within that brain of yours.

I have many ideas: Do you know how many warrior ants are in a colony?

Many, I would assume. I believe I know where this is going.

I believe you do. Make a note of this place, I'm sure we'll be back.

Anne and 220-10B031 hear metal striking metal, but turning to face the sound, they see that Atlani is gone.

[Guest System time!]
Anne Myria sat on a bench, alone. Her thoughts her only company, she pondered her past, patiently picking parts away. In her puzzling, the air grew a tad bit colder. The sky darkened, just a little bit. Or was it the ground?

In one moment, the earth near her feet was. In another, it was not.


Abysmal Pool
Land 
Abysmal Pool enters the battlefield tapped.
: Add .
, Exile a card from your graveyard: Add one mana of any color.
, , Exile a card from your hand and your graveyard that share a card type, Exile Abysmal Pool: Search your library for a card that shares a card type with the exiled cards other than Abysmal Pool, reveal it, and it put it into your hand. Then shuffle.
No one knows what is shown within until it's too late.

Drawing a knife against a canvas? How quaint.

If it is a battle she desires, then it is a battle she shall be given.

What better opponent than one's own shadow?

Wretched Facsimile 
Creature — Shapeshifter 
You may have Wretched Facsimile enter the battlefield as a copy of a creature or planeswalker you don't control, except it has ", Exile this permanent: Exile target permanent with the same name as this permanent."
It wears your bleakest visage better than you ever could.
0/0

Protector of Graves: I feel like hosing specifically graveyard exile effects feels counterintuitive to what hosing is meant to be. It also just rubs me wrong that this provides you protection against graveyard exile. I'd run this in a graveyard based deck any day for its effect. Especially since it has flash. 5/10.

What a wondrous glow her blade has, the perfect hue to paint this picture. And such pristine poise! It would only be fair to respond in kind.

She lunges accordingly, her hungering void of a blade consuming her light. Together the two form a mirror, imperfect only by the stains they call their blades.

Will she seize her strike? Will she claim her blow? Will she survive?


(In response to Anne's -X (which I assume happens before Gideon, if not then in response to Gideon), exiling Wretched Facsimile to exile Protector of Graves)

Twofold Agony 
Sorcery 
As an additional cost to cast Twofold Agony, pay X life.
Twofold Agony deals X damage to up to to two target creatures and/or planeswalkers. If a creature or planeswalker dealt damage this way would die this turn, exile it instead.

(My, my, we have unwelcome guests! Allow me to show them out the door. X equals 5, targeting Gideon, Champion of Justice and Domri Rade)


Anne, Field Marshal: Rarity is missing but I am assuming she's mythic 'cause of 4 abilities. Being able to create a free blocker on a +1, especially when you get to use another ability, is stupidly powerful. Especially when she costs merely 4 mana. I like how you have the option to sac her immediately to get a ball lightning but the +1 is not great. 5/10.
