I've got it. So was mentioned by melono, the comparisons to Adanto Vanguard spring up pretty fast. Both cards are conditionally indestructible weenies that want to be used a specific way. melono Stonewise Sanctifier - Adanto Vanguard is an efficient common that is hard to deal with, and I imagine this would be similar) is probably a better push if we're talking making it strictly playable in Standard. I'm almost tempted to say it's a little too much better than Oketra's Avenger and Moonlight Geist were, but that is the point of pushing and I think this would be interesting to see at the testing table. vizionariusStonewise Fortifier is very flavorful and feels more like an interesting common I'd really like to see in a pack that gets me thinking of how to play it. Shame it doesn't just check for Gods, because that would make it feasible with Changelings and non-Theros gods... I think that actually makes this an even weaker push than I initially thought, even if it is flavorful. Remove the enchantment check and I think you have a weenie that would result in some Changeling pauper brews and thus be sufficiently 'pushed' from its original - if you're feeling bold, removing the God check and leaving the enchantment check would make this Slippery Bogle levels of good in Pauper, lol. So while vizionarius's Stonewise Fortifier is an excellent flavor win and an all-around upgrade to the original in overall design, melono wins for having made the better push. |

Thanks for the win! Next, push me a Gorilla Pack. Keep it common and infuse the push with more current design sensibilities. |

—Disa the Restless, journal entry3/3 Well, the challenge was a flop, but this card is not. A sort-of removal on a stick that is very green and could be more of. Go ahead and make the next challenge! |

Too bad no more entries, but thanks for the positive feedback, melono .
Next: Wreck Inventive Iteration. I was looking through the rare Sagas from NEO on Scryfall, and realized that I've never come across this card at all (and I play plenty of Standard, Draft, and Brawl on Arena, and Commander and Pioneer in paper). Let's fix that by giving it the Fable treatment (aka, make it banned in Standard and ubiquitous in Pioneer). |

I'll give this one the weekend, but if no entries by Monday, I'll change the card.

Aquatic Alchemist   Creature — Elemental Whenever you cast a noncreature spell, Aquatic Alchemist gets +2/+0 until end of turn. 1/3 //
Bubble Up Sorcery — Adventure Put target instant or sorcery card from your graveyard into your hand. (Then exile this card. You may cast the creature later from exile.) Might not be busted in something like modern, but Pauper would swallow this whole. Extra busted? Lower the adventure with .
