<BB> Gateways7's Battle Board [Cyria Agraud]

“A reminder of my past.”
SILVER BORDERED
Electromagnetic Pulse Thopter
Artifact - Thopter
Flying
When ~ enters the battlefield, you may shock your opponent. If you do, put a +1/+1 counter on ~ and it becomes a creature. (You must physically touch them and you both must feel a spark of electricity.)
T: Target artifact loses all abilities until the end of the turn. If it’s an equipment, unattach it from the permanent it was equipping.
“Your tools of war and violence have no place here!” - Cyria
0/0

Your card is good! Looking online, allies haven’t really done anything pertaining to cost reduction, and I like the simple use of unexplored design space for Allies specifically. 8/10

"Hi there" says a youthful woman with pink hair as she approaches "I think I've seen you at the robot man's place... I say, that's a nice-looking weapon you have there, mind if I give it a try?"

Reckless Wielding
Sorcery
Gain control of target artifact until end of turn. Untap it. It gains haste until end of turn. If that artifact is an Equipment, you may attach it to target creature you control.
"I pray that he doesn't find the place where I hid the bullets..."

Decoy: I'm guessing the difference between switch and exchange is that switching will not counter the spell for a lack of target when the switch takes place. I like the idea of changing the spell's ability to give it a downside, I'm not so thrilled that the best way to achieve this is by using blue mana since that means you're spending blue mana for a black/red effect. 7/10.

"Oh, it's just a fake? What a buzzkill!" says Aylin obviously disappointed "For a second there I thought you were the least bit interesting..."

(can't think of any card atm, but probably will continue this later)

Cyria to the woman. "I appreciate the compliment, but I believe by your world's standards, I am plenty "crazy", as it were. I might benefit from learning about this Arena, so I will come with you. But be warned, try to cross me, and I will not relent."

Gust Machine
Artifact
Whenever a creature with flying attacks, you gain 2 life.
Sacrifice Gust Machine: Return target creature with flying to its owner's hand.

Eyes in the Skies: This is a good, flavorful combination of two very simple effects that create an interesting card that would be a lot of fun to play. There's nothing super special about this card, but I'll give a 9/10 for a solid and creative flavorful design.

The child's hands held Okus tight at the gust of wind from Cyria, strong enough to knock her off balance, but luckily not the hat. "Well, you're the fun kind of crazy, instead of the mean kind of crazy." they explained. "So what kind of things do you want to see?" Karina spun around to point out the destinations, "We can go to the colosseum if you like the fights, or the outlands if you like real fights." Okus paused for another moment. What else would the girl like? The Arena didn't have much else besides... "Or if you're hungry, there's this bakery near my w-school with the best cakes on the whole Arena! Little secret of mine." It turned back to examine Cyria's odd machinery, unlike anything it had seen in its travels. "Orrr if you want to find something to tinker with, we can visit a planar merchant? I like the ones with the weird animals, but there's lots with machines and things too."  The hat smiled as it waited for the girl to respond, or to 'not relent'.

Guided Tour
Enchantment - Saga
I - Guided Tour deals 3 damage to target creature or player.
II - Each player sacrifices a creature. You gain life equal to those creature's total toughness.
III - Return target artifact or creature card from your graveyard to your hand.

Gust Machine - This hoses flying so hard it might be green :p
Since it triggers on your own attacks as well as giving enemy fliers -2/-0, probably a touch too cheap, but it's a fun one 9/10

Merchant's Accord - this thing is wild. probably wants a counter or something as a reminder but i love this too much to not 10/10

(psst, compare it to the places to go :p)

We lead Cyria to the marketplace, taking a quick glance for hats in the animal cages but not stopping until they had reached the dealers of the inorganic, the curious machines, the sparkling gems, the indestructible metals.

"Ye, I don't think whatcha got'er is real, missy," a merchant wheezed as he looked at her glowing stone. "I could giv'ya a whole gold coin for ya troubles, and that's a charity right there, probably won't be earning that back!" He held out the coin and started reaching for the stone.


Interplanar Market
Enchantment
, Discard a card with converted mana cost X: You may choose a card you own from outside the game with converted mana cost X or less, reveal it, and put it into your hand.
Everything is available to those willing to take the time to find it.

Glaze Over - Wee bit worried about this sniping walker ults for 1, but have to give brownie points for the flavor 9/10

"Woah," the hat whispered in genuine surprise. "How'd you do that?" It clumsily failed to snap Karina's fingers a few times before giving a nervous laugh. "What other tricks do you know? I only know this lame one where everyone ignores me cause I'm short." they said with a small pout.

Sneaking Underfoot
Enchantment - Aura
Enchant creature
Enchanted creature can't be blocked by creatures with greater power.
Whenever enchanted creature deals combat damage to a player, you may activate one of it's activated abilities without paying its activation cost.

"Well, I don't know about just being big. The big people around here always seem to be fighting each other, I don't think I'd be very good at that."

"Now, what are you gonna do with all that gold you just got? Got any crazy gizmos you wanna spend it on?"

Crazy Gizmos
Enchantment
Whenever an artifact you control becomes untapped, each opponent puts the top two cards of their library into their graveyard.
, Tap two untapped artifacts you control: Scry 2.

Inducer of Rage - is also the inducer of layers weirdness, cause any abilities it gains after its equipped aren't lost...but are if you reequip it to the same thing. fun idea but a little wonked thanks to the rules getting in the way 8/10

"No!" she blurted, grabbing the brim of the hat with both hands. "I mean, it's the only thing I have left from home." She looked down and tried to recover. "I don't have anything... anyone to go back to. Just me and my hat against the world now."

"If you're looking for some real magic stuff, there's another girl I know that we could pay a visit. She's working on some kind of tunnel-y, planeswalk-y thing."

Private Life
Enchantment
Opponents can't look at your hand, search your library, control, or gain control of permanents you own.
"You don't know everything about me."

(lmk if this is too defensive for you to defend >.>)

Barter - this is potentially a ton of permanent mind controls for next to nothing. would probably start this at four mana also i don't think its bartering if you take it no matter what 7/10

cajun

Private Life - This is a nice flavorful card, but is probably pretty narrow and most of time time won't be that useful. (Also, some text like Trostani Discordant might work better than "players can't control permanents you own", as I'm not exactly sure what would happen if you played it while an opponent already had control of something you own.) However, when it does work, it's pretty good - 7.5/10.

Cyria thinks for a second and takes a long look at Karina, then speaks. "Sure," she says, "meeting this girl might be useful for my advancements in the future. Lead the way." Then, she waits until Karina is turns around to release a tiny, silent drone into the air.

Snatcher of Secrets
Artifact
Opponents play with their hands revealed.
, : Exile target noncreature permanent. At the end of the turn, return it to the battlefield.
Inquisitive minds have questions. Determined minds find the answers. Adept minds make sure no one else finds out.

korakhos (sorry about missing that one, I was thinking of a response, couldn't figure it out, and then completely forgot about it.)

Enraged Prying - This is a solid card with interesting mechanical and flavorful sides, and I am a fan of cards that punish card draw. 9/10.

Cyria looks confused for a second, then her face resolves in determination. "I don't know what you're talking about, but if you're looking for a fight, I won't deny you the opportunity." She puts on a pair of welding goggles and a beam of energy bursts from them, narrowly missing the geomancer. "Warning shot."

Blastvision Goggles
Artifact - Equipment
Equip
Equipped creature gets +2/+0.
If you would draw a card, if Pyrovision Goggles is equipped to a creature, instead exile the top two cards of your library. You may play those cards until the end of the turn.
Fight fire with fire.

Rubble Rain - This is a pretty interesting take on the Burn from Within style card as a weaker-powered removal spell, but flying hate does feels a little weird in mono-red. Maybe if it had green as well, it would make more sense. 8/10.

Cyria looked at the oncoming rain of debris about to fall on her and acted decisively. She smashed the button of a machine, and as an electric pulse shot out from it, she ducked.

Grounding Machine
Artifact
Whenever a creature with flying attacks you, it gets -1/-0 until the end of the turn.
, Sacrifice Grounding Machine: Creatures can't have or gain flying until the end of the turn. For each creature that lost flying this way, their controller gains 1 life.
"Get down here!"

me, reading this with no context: what the fuck
me, reading that this ties into the story: oh ok
me, reading that you strangled a cat: what the fuck

Yield the Advantage - A nice and simple common that could pretty easily see print. 9/10.

Cyria looks on in confusion as Aylin runs off after instigating a fight for seemingly no reason. She shrugs. "Well, that was fucking weird, but she said she'll come back. I'd better prepare." With that, she takes out a sphere from her belt and begins to tinker. "Speaking of fucking weird!"

Silver-Bordered
Sphere of En-vowel-ment
Artifact
Whenever a player casts a spell with a name that starts with a vowel, sacrifice Sphere of En-vowel-ment and counter that spell. (A, e, i, o, u are vowels. Y can be a vowel, but only if you ask nicely. H is a vowel if you're French.)
"Ay amigo, (y?)ou've earned an annihilation. Announce acknowledgement!" - Aeoi Oua, enchanter of Ueoia

Trust me, she's done worse!

Sphere of En-vowel-ment does everything a card should not do: it cares about specific names and even about what language the card is printed in... and I freaking love it! This is a perfect definition of what an un-card should look like and everything from the clarification in parenthesis to that gorgeous FT is majestic. Shut up and take my valor! 10/10.
