The small hut seemed like a large contrast from the atmosphere outside. Arcanis closed the door behind him but didn't step any further into the home. "My sincere apologies. It seems that my senses are all wrong today. May I enter?" Arc said respectfully. Arcanis, Artesian Artificer Legendary Planeswalker- Arcanis : Create a token copy of the card Lotus Petal. : Create a token copy of the card Black Lotus. : Create a token copy of the card Gilded Lotus. Not a fan of Arcanis - not only is it very one-note, it's also either being useless or being broken, which is a design I dislike personally. Also not really in color pie 5/10Xyrma frowns, and stands up from by the fire. "I'd prefer if we spoke outside"
Rot Away Instant Destroy target creature or planeswalker with mana value 4 or greater. Rot Away: Not much to talk about, it's a pretty standard card. 9/10Arcanis Nods and heads back outside. Gather Knowledge Instant Scry 4 then draw two cards.

Lettie can recognize sincere faith when she sees it, but such faith placed in her adversary brings forth memories of guilt and grief. Lettie feels hatred boiling her blood before she can fully understand what she is recalling, and Xyrma might sense the rot beyond the veil pulse as though to match a heart suddenly pounding. Despite this, Lettie keeps a level, if more noticeably halting tone in her retort. "No, it is im...possible. The tragedy struck when we tried to help the killer, and were they to be left to... to carry on, more suffering would be wrought by their hand. It is too late for... us to choose what is gained; all we... can do now is choose what will be lost." A few beats of the permeating heart pass as Lettie considers how restrained her next statement should be, before abandoning herself to spite. "I shall seek the bitter reward of justice... delayed, an end to heart-ache and the thousand... unnatural shocks we both are now heir to, or... I shall die trying, and find that end... that reward... all... the same."A Sea of Troubles Sorcery Target player mills a card, then discards a card, then sacrifices a permanent. That player loses 1 life for each land card in their graveyard. Which fates are nobler in the mind to suffer? This is a pretty cool pox variant. The last clause feels a touch out of place, but I don't think it diminishes from the design as a whole 8/10The pulse of rot takes Xyrma by surprise, a rhythmic shock sent through her body from the vivid shades of decay overlaid in her perception. She grits her teeth, takes a deep breath, and looks to Lettie once more, doing her best to focus on the person before her and not the veilbound rot surrounding her, taking in the other woman's words. "Lady Death is no fickle god, but if one cannot help the helpless, then I understand why you must do what needs to be done." Her tone is somber, but her eyes betray her true inner conflict - the urge to avoid yet another war, constrasted with the desire to destroy those so unjust as to meet help with harm. Endless Fields of Verdant Pastures Enchantment When ~ enters the battlefield, draw a card. Sacrifice ~ and a land: Shuffle your graveyard into your library. You may search your library for a basic land card and put it onto the battlefield tapped.

Arcanis Nods and heads back outside. Gather Knowledge Instant Scry 4 then draw two cards. Gather Knowledge is fine, although scry 4 slows down the game a ton. 8/10Xyrma stands, and walks to the door, eyes narrowed. "What is it that you want from me?"Roiling Wurms Creature - Wurm Whenever an opponent draws a card outside of their draw step, put a +1/+1 counter on ~. 3/2

I have no problem with the ability though and the name is pretty thematic. 9/10 Arcanis turned with the biggest stupidest grin on his face. The grin fades moments later. "Ugh You know I'm not the most chipper person. I am trying to go around and invite people like you and me to join a guild I am creating. I honestly am not much of a salesman and everyone is clearly not trusting of me. I think it's the planar alignments. Anyway," Arcanis holds up a thumb to his chest, "I am Arcanis. I figure you probably want some info too huh? Basics of the guild are as follows: the guild gets jobs from outside, Members can take jobs and earn what comes with completing jobs around here, money, glory, valor, whatever. You seem... content with your living arrangements. Not sure how much you get out and about but I have made it my personal goal to ask those I come across. There are no requirements of you to join. I have however been handing out tokens of appreciation to anybody considering joining." Arc shrugged "That's it in a nut shell. I can answer any questions, or other evaluations if you'd like. Disarming Honesty Instant Reveal your hand. Draw a card.

Endless Fields of Verdant Pastures Enchantment When ~ enters the battlefield, draw a card. Sacrifice ~ and a land: Shuffle your graveyard into your library. You may search your library for a basic land card and put it onto the battlefield tapped. The visitor doesn't react to the conflicted gaze; in fact, it might occur to Xyrma that the woman has not at any point returned her gaze in any way. Rather, Lettie's eyes are cast downward, and she remains silent for as long as she can. She thinks, then arrives at a decision. Then with more thinking, she arrives at it again. Again and again, she comes to the same conclusion. The misery is apparent on her face each time.
The best helpless wretches such as we can do is destroy ourselves and each other. Perhaps then, one day, the world shall be free from us.
"Death has shirked their duties before," she finally says, breaking her silence. "I will do what I must nonetheless." She planeswalks on the spot, and the miasma beyond the veil emerges, shrouds her as she vanishes, and briefly remains thereafter. Endless Fields of Verdant Pastures — An appropriate enough response. Costing seems alright too, but I wonder what you can do with a land neutral ability like this, except for edges cases such as lands you were about to lose anyway. That is to say, the intrinsic use of this doesn't seem all that meaningful. Perhaps it is more useful in an environment where you want to dig for basic land types, or get land ETBs. 8/10

"I don't think I understand what you mean by "trudging through the grim tidings of death." Does that mean you don't mind being around death? Do your services include killing? I don't know. I suppose I can always come back if I have a need for someone that is okay around death and can't find anybody, I guess. Young girl like you should probably get out more." Arc gestured vaguely. Momentum Canceler Artifact Creatures can't have counters put on them. (T his includes entering play with counters on them.) Creatures power and toughness can't change. (T he power and toughness of creatures don't change if they are increased or decreased by an effect, nor can they be set to a different value.)
