The Abandoned Shops Illus. by eWKn
Boon: Players can design Artifacts and use Vial tokens (They're artifacts with “ , Sacrifice this and another permanent: Draw a card. Activate this ability only during your turn.”) No one should be here; every door and cabinet a visitor opens releases a cloud of dust, along with yet another unique putrid smell. There are many places like this one, dotting the Arena. In each one, there is furniture and taxidermy in various states of disrepair, and various alchemical goods, reagents, medicines, poisons, and even bottled weapons that were abandoned by the previous owner—and in some cases, they are found with the apparatus used to create such things. The previous owner was an apothecary, and well acquainted with a society from another world, but now she is gone; rumors abound whether she is dead or alive. In either case, she had made some effort to prepare these places for her departure, but clearly her work was left unfinished; it seems she prioritized her collection of books before anything else, but perhaps in one of these shops, there is a stray volume or ledger left rotting.
Some of these shops also had devices that allowed instant travel between one another, but they were deactivated; perhaps with some technological prowess, the network could be restarted. Even now, these particular sites are frequented by cats, whether stray, or visiting from a nearby settlement. The entire network, however, centers on a storefront that is part of an extravagant house practically next door to The Bakery. It too is empty, though in much better condition, but no one dares reside there; the eyes of the apothecary, whether dead or alive, can still be felt by all intruders.
Unforeseen Reactions  Sorcery  Create two Vial tokens. (They're artifacts with “, Sacrifice this and another permanent: Draw a card. Activate this ability only during your turn.”)Agonize (You may cast this card from your graveyard by putting a -1/-1 counter on a creature you control in addition to paying its other costs. Then exile this card.)
For a refresher on locations, this is a neutral place that anyone can pop into or out of, to fire attacks into the wind or meet up with specific people. You can respond to pretty much any attack here and give valor accordingly (including the first post attack if you're stuck, though it's a guest attack so I won't pick up valor). As long as you're here, the strange artifacts and vials the apothecary left behind are yours to design with, regardless your character sheet.

Rel arrives carrying a muffin. "Ya know, this doesn't look as abandoned as the stories were sayin'." He looks into the lower floor though the glass wall, seeing the same storefront with functionally no stock. It doesn't stop him from approaching the entrance and trying the door. Even if this were still occupied, at least this part would be a shop. "Seen the other places a bit -- they're a bit less exciting, this place had old Technocracy lighting and stuff."Vile Proceedings is an interesting card.

"You know, shopkeep, talks to people. Knew her crap. 'pparently she knew the Eternity Project, didn't get to talk much with her on that though." Rel picks up his rifle and immediately attempts to slam it into an otherwise empty wall. His attempt is promptly thwarted by his rifle suddenly deciding it didn't want to, instead sending itself towards the ground. After about two seconds of looking at his rifle, he instead picks it up and pulls the trigger to hope the bullet can make more progress... But that, too, decides it doesn't want to, and it halts before connecting with the wall."... Hunh. Damn. I know who made this place. That's gonna be harder than I thought."

In a secluded area of the Arena, buried under a collapsed shop, is a rift that had lain forgotten by all those on the plane. But it had not been forgotten by everything.
Reality stretches as a long arm presses against the rift remnant. The spell protests. It is meant to keep these creatures out. But the sharp arm insists. The Arena groans as the scythe-like leg of the creature of Elsewhere slices across the Prototype’s rift and stabs into the rubble below.
To those attuned to such things, they may feel the very stability of the plane shudder.
Another scythe leg slices across planes and pulls at the edges of the spell. The rift, once a glowing blue swirl, turns a sickly black mire as the second arm tears it wider. A bony mask filled with holes too erratically placed to be called a face pulls its way through the rift. A ribbed and blackened carapace follows. Two more many-jointed legs land on the Arena, and the creature of Elsewhere stands to its full height, nearly twice as tall as the building that once stood here.
Behind it, the air around the blackened rift begins to tear.The creatures of Elsewhere have spent 100 Valor and unlocked coalesce.
This thread will serve as the home base of the creatures of Elsewhere! This attack will remain up for a while to let however many people want to join in the defense against it do so. Then, the creatures of Elsewhere will fight back. Of course, some of you might have your hands full at the moment

Of course, some of you might have your hands full at the moment - Incredibly evocative, but I think you already knew that. 10/10 Guided along an unknown axis, Yakana breezes through the darkened sky towards what would certainly be a point of interest. She stops abruptly and readies herself in an upright position as she cranes her neck up at the chittering monster that pulled itself through the shimmering portal. She crosses one leg over the other, still suspended in midair, and muses to herself: ""WOW! Not every day you get to see a. . . whatever that is. I wonder what's going thoughts it has going through that head shaped thing on it's torso. One can only wonder, hm?"Yakana places a hand behind her back and pulls out a small box, seemingly from thin air. Contained within the box is an assortment of exotic desserts. With one hand, Yakana plucks sweets from the suspended box, with the other, she holds in front of her. The air around her open hand trembles in a rippling pattern, as if in anticipation for it's own action. At the sign that the creature would near Yakana or disturb her in any way, the air around her hand would rush into her palm and send the displaced air outward in an otherworldly bolt of glowing force.Dazzling Duplication  Instant This spell costs less to cast if the creature it targets has been the target of another spell this turn. Create a token copy of target creature you control except it has "whenever this becomes the target of a spell or ability, sacrifice it," and it's a blue illusion in addition to it's other types and colors. |

Of course, some of you might have your hands full at the moment Avis skitters quickly towards the shops, arms and legs split apart to facilitate her rapid movement. As a scientist, she was already intrigued by the rift's appearance, but when she saw the massive creature, a different mind took over. So much flesh, so much food. She stops upon getting close enough to the thing, noticing the hovering fox in her periphery but paying them no mind. Bigger feast first. Still on all fours, Avis begins to shudder and twitch, until with a loud CRACK, her head splits apart down the middle. The cracking and tearing sounds continue as the split forces its way down through her torso, stopping at the top of her pelvis, some strands of flesh still stringing between the two halves. Countless wet pops follow, as jagged teeth force themselves out, filling in the newly-made gap through her middle. With a guttural screech, the thing that used to be Avis lunges towards whatever part of the creature is closest to her, intending to have a feeding frenzy.

Aelewin's blade accomplishes the same amount of nothing. Whoever's spell was preventing damage to the building, it was doing well."Yeah, so. Eternity Project's got a girl named Haia. She's an architect; a pretty cute one at that. And she's real damn good at her job." Rel draws a circle in the air with his finger. "Outpost has the same kinda spells on it. Couple big-name places in the Technocracy got 'em too." Rel crosses his arms and looks up at the lights. "Thing's meant to be able to resist tenebrite, so I got no clue what to do here."Barrier Break is definitely sideboard card.

This thread will serve as the home base of the creatures of Elsewhere! This attack will remain up for a while to let however many people want to join in the defense against it do so. Then, the creatures of Elsewhere will fight back. Of course, some of you might have your hands full at the moment At the rift's source stands a metal construct, shoulders adorned with spikes and wielding some manner of pole weapon. It bends, then leaps up higher than one might expect of a creature so heavy. The pole weapon lands at the top of the rift, and seems to catch on the tear in reality. Now the robot's weight works with it, dragging it slowly back to the earth, and shrinking down the rift as it does. Over the course of a minute, the pole finally touches the ground, and the creature's rift appears to be gone.
Off in the distance, a similar shape can be seen tearing higher and higher into the sky. His job done here, Experiment[3] makes his way to the source.
observers who would no doubt be drawn by the cataclysmic event. Similarly, Lothaire would have to use more mundane tactics for the time being.
Once the first Revelation is in sight, Lothaire pulls ahead of Experiment[3], and, noting the Revelation's top-heavy appearance and the monster already attacking it, reshapes their lance into a scythe-like halberd. The Knight appears as a rising sun as they charge, and makes a sweeping cut at the Revelation's legs as they ride at breakneck speed past the flank opposite what was once Avis. The weapon shines with such intensity and is swung with such speed that the entire flowing arc of Lothaire's attack remains as a burning trail. Only Burning Memories Enchantment Flash When Only Burning Memories enters the battlefield, it deals X damage to any target, where X is the number of cards in any graveyard that were put there from the battlefield this turn. Cards can't leave graveyards. Dazzling Duplicate is assuming the targeting manages to go off, and Frenzied Fleshchomper is assuming that the permanents are put into the graveyard. Let's find a way to interfere with Coalesces without disrupting either.
All Reality Shudders — 4C Revelations; ambitious, given the relative lack of text space. I think that there is a slight miss here with the inclusion of blue, which typically does not have any destruction spells to speak of; this seems like it would be a better fit for BRGW (which would visually represent creature//noncreature somewhat better too). Otherwise, this makes a good impression, and the development seems fine. 8/10

"Alright I think I've got it. Let meow try!" Michi channels all of his energy into a spell, the pages of his spellbook flickering with raw magic power. A gilded cat paw appears avobe the being, pushing it into the breach. Thanks to the warrior distracting it, the creature can't resist the spell. The rift becomes sealed with ethereal chains crossed above it. After checking that nothing else is coming from it, Michi exhales, relieved at last. "Those were some ugly meownsters, right? I wonder where they came from." After a few seconds lost in his thought the cat, speaks agains. "Ah! Sorry meowstress, but I haven't introduced meowself! The name's Michi, cat, wizard and researcher! Pleased to meowt you!" Michi extends a paw towards the warrior. "Also, I should go looking for meow brother, we always end up separated. But knowing him, if there are meowre creatures like this, he will be in the meowddle of the fray." The creature of Elsewhere tightens against Atlani as Michi's spell pushes, but the cat's spell wins out, causing the tentacles of the fused beast to dissolve away and forcing whatever remains back into the rift. The chains snap around the rift, which slowly begins to shrink away as the two talk.
But it is clear their fight on the Arena was not the only one. In the distance, a black column tore higher and higher into the sky... Atlani shakes his paw. "It is good to meet you too. I am Atlani Swiftblade. Human, warrior, and... slayer of beasts." She looks into the distance, and sees the black column. "I suppose we have our answer as to where they came from. I have to imagine there are more there." With the last of the monsters gone, the snow leopard catches up to the pair. "This is Nai. She's proof of what limited summoning experience I have." Atlani climbs atop her mount, and offers Michi a hand up. "Likely slower than planeswalking would take you, but definitely faster than walking will take me." Atlani waits for Michi to either accept or decline the ride before heading off toward the monumental black scar. In a secluded area of the Arena, buried under a collapsed shop, is a rift that had lain forgotten by all those on the plane. But it had not been forgotten by everything.

From a ways behind the shop emerges a Mardu warrior riding a large snow leopard; what might be considered an unusual sight under normal circumstances, though, of course, these were far from normal. Atlani looked out over the current state of the battle: A two story... whatever that was, a floating fox woman, some sort of metal demon, a knight made of... light? Is that one trying to eat it? What a cataclysmic scene we've found ourselves in. Nai charges down to join the fray, all the while Atlani fires arrows charged with lightning at the towering behemoth from her back. She positions herself so as to be near the others, but at an appropriate distance from the revelation. With her team spirit restored, Atlani has unlocked Partner!{Nai, Heart of the Warkhan}  |

In a secluded area of the Arena, buried under a collapsed shop, is a rift that had lain forgotten by all those on the plane. But it had not been forgotten by everything.
Reality stretches as a long arm presses against the rift remnant. The spell protests. It is meant to keep these creatures out. But the sharp arm insists. The Arena groans as the scythe-like leg of the creature of Elsewhere slices across the Prototype’s rift and stabs into the rubble below.
To those attuned to such things, they may feel the very stability of the plane shudder.
Another scythe leg slices across planes and pulls at the edges of the spell. The rift, once a glowing blue swirl, turns a sickly black mire as the second arm tears it wider. A bony mask filled with holes too erratically placed to be called a face pulls its way through the rift. A ribbed and blackened carapace follows. Two more many-jointed legs land on the Arena, and the creature of Elsewhere stands to its full height, nearly twice as tall as the building that once stood here.
Behind it, the air around the blackened rift begins to tear.The creatures of Elsewhere have spent 100 Valor and unlocked coalesce.
This thread will serve as the home base of the creatures of Elsewhere! This attack will remain up for a while to let however many people want to join in the defense against it do so. Then, the creatures of Elsewhere will fight back. Of course, some of you might have your hands full at the moment  Legendary Artifact - Equipment Equipped creature gets +4/+0. : ~ becomes a copy of target Equipment card in a graveyard, except it has Equip and this ability. Equip No one knows where Doer's shapeshifting sword came from, or what does WEAPON stand for, but everyone knows that they don't want to be in the wrong end of it.p All Reality Shudders: Yeah, this is great, I love this. 10/10 |

As the earth trembles lightly, a purple-haired woman arrives surfing a self-contained landslide. She stares at the behemoth, her eyes growing wide with excitement and adrenaline."Anyone know what these things are called?" she asks to the diverse entourage gathered at the location "I wanna add them to my list..."Without wasting a second, Aylin begins working her geomancy, ready to tear the thing (and the entirety of the place if needed) to pieces, when she discerns something in the distance: the Atlas Bakery.
She's still here?! she thinks bitterly remembering the woman who humilliated her.
If she causes the entirety of the ground to collapse, Sevid is probably going to contemptuously reprimand her. Unwilling (and unable) to get the elf out of her head, Aylin decides that maybe collateral damage is not the way to go this time. Instead she sticks to the background, using her powers to raise barriers around the fighters to absorb any hits the creature might attempt against them.She could just throw caution to the wind and cause a massive sinkhole to swallow the creature, but that would jeopardize the lives of those who are close to it. Sighing, she decided to take a more measured approach and simply stay in the background, raising walls of stone to absord any potential impacts the beast throws at its enemies.Strategic Recklessness Instant Target creature gets +1/+0 and gains indestructible until end of turn. Create a Vial token (It's an artifact with ", Sacrifice this and another permanent: Draw a card. Activate this ability only during your turn.”)"I charge without fear for I know my phalanx has my back!"Targetting Nai so it can kill the creature and still get indestructible if the counter gets removed or was placed on another creature. All Reality Shudders: I agree with the statements that this should be a non- tetracolored card. Other than that, I like the design, it does bring apocalyptic vibes. 8/10.

mrlozano Nadejda's mech descends upon the shops, having followed Aylin in the air to avoid her wake of rough terrain. She blinks with surprise to see a familiar face on the front lines. "Hey cat! Still interested in VTOL fighters? Any chance you learned how to fly them since last time you broke mine?" As she speaks, the rubble left in the Elsewhere-beast's wake rises, self-assembling into wings and engines, the entire contraption piecing together beneath and around Doer as he jumps into the fray, connecting to the WEAPON as power-source, control-mechanism, and main armament alike.Fury of Otaria Legendary Artifact — Equipment  This spell can't be countered. Equipped creature gets +6/+6 and has flying, trample, and protection from white and from blue. : Equipped creature gets +1/+0 until end of turn. Equip  A jet that was never built, named in tribute to the greatest angel that never existed.(With this in the graveyard—perhaps destroyed by All Reality Shudders—the WEAPON's transforming ability can let us skip paying the .)
cajun — All Reality Shudders: I don't really see the blue here; I think this'd work better either as 4c nonblue, or just Mardu colors. I'd also be inclined to bump the Coalesce cost up to eight; I think I've learned my lesson about five-for-ones that coalesce for seven mana. 7/10

"Alright I think I've got it. Let meow try!" Michi channels all of his energy into a spell, the pages of his spellbook flickering with raw magic power. A gilded cat paw appears avobe the being, pushing it into the breach. Thanks to the warrior distracting it, the creature can't resist the spell. The rift becomes sealed with ethereal chains crossed above it. After checking that nothing else is coming from it, Michi exhales, relieved at last. "Those were some ugly meownsters, right? I wonder where they came from." After a few seconds lost in his thought the cat, speaks agains. "Ah! Sorry meowstress, but I haven't introduced meowself! The name's Michi, cat, wizard and researcher! Pleased to meowt you!" Michi extends a paw towards the warrior. "Also, I should go looking for meow brother, we always end up separated. But knowing him, if there are meowre creatures like this, he will be in the meowddle of the fray." The creature of Elsewhere tightens against Atlani as Michi's spell pushes, but the cat's spell wins out, causing the tentacles of the fused beast to dissolve away and forcing whatever remains back into the rift. The chains snap around the rift, which slowly begins to shrink away as the two talk.
But it is clear their fight on the Arena was not the only one. In the distance, a black column tore higher and higher into the sky... Atlani shakes his paw. "It is good to meet you too. I am Atlani Swiftblade. Human, warrior, and... slayer of beasts." She looks into the distance, and sees the black column. "I suppose we have our answer as to where they came from. I have to imagine there are more there." With the last of the monsters gone, the snow leopard catches up to the pair. "This is Nai. She's proof of what limited summoning experience I have." Atlani climbs atop her mount, and offers Michi a hand up. "Likely slower than planeswalking would take you, but definitely faster than walking will take me." Atlani waits for Michi to either accept or decline the ride before heading off toward the monumental black scar. In a secluded area of the Arena, buried under a collapsed shop, is a rift that had lain forgotten by all those on the plane. But it had not been forgotten by everything.

From a ways behind the shop emerges a Mardu warrior riding a large snow leopard; what might be considered an unusual sight under normal circumstances, though, of course, these were far from normal. Atlani looked out over the current state of the battle: A two story... whatever that was, a floating fox woman, some sort of metal demon, a knight made of... light? Is that one trying to eat it? What a cataclysmic scene we've found ourselves in. Nai charges down to join the fray, all the while Atlani fires arrows charged with lightning at the towering behemoth from her back. She positions herself so as to be near the others, but at an appropriate distance from the revelation. With her team spirit restored, Atlani has unlocked Partner!{Nai, Heart of the Warkhan}

"Well, I need something more if I'm figuring out how to stop this ugly mug. Keep doing what you do."
"Whatever ye say, cap'n." she says, vanishing into the air with a shimmer, the smoke from his cigarette floating to where she once was.

Mira arrives at the abandoned shops after following the rifts and notices an extremely large creature that's being shot at and stabbed at and being eaten and all sorts of things. After taking note of the situation - and what appear to be several ineffectual methods that other people are using to try and kill the creature - she settles down inside one of the shops in an attempt to iterate upon her previous creation. She mixes the solution with some of the inert remnants from the last creature - she did learn that like repels like, after all. To her excitement, the eldritch-killing mixture replicates itself in a living manner. Well, time to see how effective this is, she thinks to herself, tossing the concoction at the creature from elsewhere. It erupts into a similar creature... though one that Mira finds herself able to control, due to its ties to her spellcasting and her familiarity with its composition. A rousing success, she thinks to herself, as the creature from the vial begins to eat at the otherworldly monstrosity. Mira has spent 100 Valor to unlock Coalesce. No Trial, Only Error Sorcery - Revelation Create a Vial token. If you sacrificed a creature this turn, instead scry 2, then draw a card. (It's an artifact with ", Sacrifice this and another permanent: Draw a card. Activate this ability only during your turn.”)Coalesce (You may cast this from your graveyard for .

Then, the creatures of Elsewhere will fight back. Of course, some of you might have your hands full at the moment The banishing spell had done its work, here at least. While the citizens still ran in fear, it seemed that no more creatures waited here. But on the horizon, a towering black rip in reality promised the fight was not over yet... Simul steps closer, though still keeping her guard up against the possibility of the centipede's focus shifting. Though she clearly dislikes the bug, her gaze has more disdain than horror. "If only I had the time to summon a proper krasis. There's clearly skill in this work, but little sense. No self-respecting Combine biomancer would go to the trouble of removing a perfectly usable exoskeleton like that. Perhaps it simply evolved this way? And yet it was clearly summoned, to disintegrate like that. Tch, too much feels wrong about this."Simul's inner monologue doesn't skip a beat as she calls out to Argel once more."I do not originate in this world, but neither do you, hero. Though, I believe introductions should wait until this bizarre creation is dealt with."Seeing his awkward attempt to push the creature back with a shift towards blue, Simul follows suit, with significantly more grace to the cerulean light that flows towards her hand like an inverted waterfall, then pulses outwards. The plants on her cloak begin visibly growing, weeds push away the cobblestones of the street, and the minds of herself and Argel begin moving at a far faster rate. The wave warps to avoid touching the centipede before it fades away, but anyone else nearby will still feel its reduced effects for a time. Turning his attention towards the rift in the distance, Argel disappears in a crackle of electric blue lightning, only a slight crackling left in the air where he stood seconds ago. In a similar crackle of lightning, Argel reappears much closer to the rift. At this distance, Argel could clearly see the massive monstrosity that seemed to have appeared from the rift, as well as the other towering figure fighting it. There also seemed to be many others already involved, though he knew none of them. Realizing he needed to get going if he wanted any credit, he held his greatsword aloft as blue lightning engulfed the blade. Running forward, he took a wide swing and a bolt of lightning shot from the sword at the apex of the swing, arcing towards the monstrosity. He did this a few more times on the approach, hoping to contribute. Draconic Rager Creature - Dragon Warrior Level up [Level 3+] Whenever Draconic Rager attacks, you may deal 2 damage to target creature. [Level 5+] Whenever Draconic Rager deals damage, you may deal that much damage to target opponent. 3/2
All Reality Shudders: 8/10. Reasonable, though I do agree the blue feels a bit odd here. A real removal powerhouse, I certainly wouldn't have too many of these in a limited and probably not at uncommon, though its possible in a masters power level. |

The Arena groans at the rift from Elsewhere tearing higher and higher into the sky. The creature of Elsewhere’s long limb tear at the rift’s edges, letting it grow wider. Strangely, it seems no other creatures have yet pulled themself from this rift, with the horror standing alone amid the collapsed shop and abandoned buildings nearby.
It freezes as it feels a strange ripple in reality that is not its own. The earth and lumber crack as the tremendous creature turns to the floating fox, talking away and pulling her box of sweets from Nowhere. The power was intriguing. One of the great pointed arms reached out for her, and was met with a glowing bolt of force. The creature of Elsewhere begins sliding back before its limbs grow larger, three of them digging deep into the ground to resist the force, the last shooting outwards to Yakana.
Its attention on the fox, the disfiguring scientist goes unnoticed for a moment too long, and the voracious mouth creature crawls its way up another leg gnawing and gnawing away the creature’s strange flesh. At every bite, it begins dissolving away for a moment, before more grows back to replace the wound.
A galloping breaks through the squelches and snaps as the glowing knight charges for the other flank, a gleaming scythe cleanly separating the back leg from the creature. The rooted part of the foot dissolves away while gravity brings the creature down on its now completely unsupported half. The reaching arm slams back into the ground, a snow leopard gracefully dodging the staggering creature while arrows fly. One sinks into a hole in the creature’s face. It roars from some unseen mouth as its back leg buckles. The parasite continues its feast, and the regeneration no longer seems to be keeping pace.
Two more limbs explode skyward from the ribbed carapace of the creature, then angle for the knight at its back and the parasite climbing its leg. A wall of stone races across the battlefield, covering the knight as the new arm slams into the rock uselessly. A cat laughs maniacally as he soars through the air at the second arm, a massive, overcharged sword hacking at the limb before it can ever find its mark. The final leg of the creature is finally added to the assault by the shadowy gravekeeper, adding blow after blow that the creature cannot hope to regenerate from on top of everything else.
The creature’s legs scramble as it tries to regain its control of the battlefield, but the defense is unlike anything the creatures of Elsewhere had ever seen. Lightning arcs from across the battlefield, burning large dissolving scars along the creature’s carapace. A child with a spear materializes at the edge of the battlefield, panicking at the sight of it all. Behind her planeswalks in another shining knight, this one made of glistening metal rather than sunlight. The child disappears again, and blades swirl around the Phyrexian as he leaps into the fray.Amid the chaos, Thistle could put together some things from the absolute beating the creature was taking and seeming to survive. It was clearly not organic, any wound would just result in pieces of the creature dissolving away unless it regenerated the damage fast enough. This creature wasn’t an aether summon like most planeswalkers threw around, it was far sturdier, seemed to practically have a mind of its own. But some of those same weaknesses still applied. A banishing spell, something to return them to the aether or wherever it was they came, would be certain to turn it back to nothing… provided it was large enough.
Thistle may also find among the fray, the Beckoner, adding her own copy of the creation to the horrific pile. This one, though, appears to be under her control. It picks its way across the chaotic battlefield, latching itself onto the creature trying to grow yet more legs in the face of flying mechas cracking them off each time they arise. It stumbles again as Mira’s creation absorbs part of its leg, and stone walls fire upwards to guard the combatants near the thrashing legs trying to keep upward.
Then from the sky, it emerges. Teeth, feathers, an ant, a dinosaur, a bird, a god, a monstrosity that may be mistaken for one of the creatures of Elsewhere itself, if it did not descend upon its own brethren with a heavy CRACK, snapping the creature cleanly in two.
The creature collapsed.
Its arms flailed wildly, cracking as they plowed into Aylin’s pillars. From its back, rings of nothingness grew as the creature dissolved from the middle outward.
A one-armed robot falls amid the fray, bringing her blade into the Beckoner’s creature of Elsewhere for her troubles. A light white glow formed around Zero. She was very, very, very late. At the least, the citizenry of this strange plane had managed to defeat such a monstrous creature of Elsewhere. At the least, she was here now, to ensure no more could make their way through.
Zero stood before the towering rift and cast the sealing spell.
The rift tore wider.
A mass of purple lashed from the rift, surrounding the prototype angel entirely before flinging her into the distance.
The creature poured from the rift like smoke, from as high as anyone could see all the way to the ground. Forms began to take shape as the purple fog rolled around the combatants.A giant punches at the flying mecha. A hungry lion leaps for the cat with the sketchbook. A minotaur tears into the path of the knight, horns ready for the horse. A moth grabs at the scientist, flying her high into the sky. A hybrid of too many animals to name tramples for the geomancer.
The fog collects strongest by Anne, towering into a lupine behemoth fit to fight a god, its fur seeming to wisp away into the fog around it.
Hundreds of insectile legs begin to break around the edges of the rift, and push. CONJURE - in addition to the big boi, each of you has a Conjure to deal with! You only need to defend against the Revelation or your Conjured attack, but bonus points for you if you can two-for-one Initial Cast

The previous creature was already larger than anything Leira had ever seen. This somehow was even larger than that, soaring so titanically high that she couldn't even pretend to estimate how high it went. The Entelan lifted their rifle, but halted at Leira's silent command. There were too many people. The splash damage from tenebrite would go in too many directions, with too much collateral damage. For Entela to be of any help here, it had to be entirely on Leira. This would require eyes in the skies.

Its attention on the fox, the disfiguring scientist goes unnoticed for a moment too long, and the voracious mouth creature crawls its way up another leg gnawing and gnawing away the creature’s strange flesh. At every bite, it begins dissolving away for a moment, before more grows back to replace the wound. A moth grabs at the scientist, flying her high into the sky.
The thing that used to be Avis gurgles with confused anger as the creature dissolves into nothing at every bite, lacking in the sustenance she was looking for. Her anger turns to shock as a giant glowing moth grabs her by the shoulders and starts flying away, taking her from her meal. She thrashes around in the moth's grip, before quickly realizing it isn't letting go easily. Despite her current state, Avis was still an intelligent scientist, and the parasite knew what she knew. With what could maybe be considered a sigh, Avis' body-mouth opens wide, and a barbed, fleshy, extremely thin tentacle slithers out like a tongue. It extends outwards into the air, seemingly unaffected by the wind whipping past her as the moth continues flying. The tentacle finds the insect's head and pierces into the creature's skull, small enough to reach into its brain. The moment it breaches through, the tentacle's tip begins splitting apart, different strands growing in different directions, all throughout the moth's brain. Once sufficiently embedded inside it, the tendrils begin to replicate neurological signals, allowing the parasite inside Avis a rudimentary control over the insect. With no intention for complicated plans or attacks, the parasite sends one simple signal to the moth. 'Turn around.' And the moth turns around and begins flying straight back towards the newly appeared wolf-like giant. Maybe this one will be more filling. The parasite allows itself a smile, however grotesque that looks in Avis' current form.
The Worst is Yet to Come - Banger as always. I kind of feel like the non-coalesced half is weak? But I might be undervaluing what the ability to coalesce adds. 8/10Instant Until end of turn, if a creature would enter the battlefield under an opponent's control, if it wasn't cast from that player's hand, it enters the battlefield under your control instead.

The sleuth shudders as the fighting goes on, unable to do too much at the moment. "Knowledge is power, sure, but would it kill me to know a way to fight these things?" he mutters to himself, taking a swig from a flask. Suddenly his arm extends and in it is a coughing pirate, a thick purple smog exiting from her mouth as she hacks. "Keep it together bird, you're more important now than ever." he says, seemingly unaffected by the smoke in his face from her lungs.
"As if-" HACK "- I weren't afore?" she says, managing to stand up, shimmering faintly.
"Don't got all day, Thistle."
"Sure don't, those things... they be way worse up close. The flesh, if ye can call it that, doesn't decay - it either fixes itself up or vanishes."
"Right, so likely a summon... but by who, and why?"
"Wrong riddles, detective. Right now, all that matters be riddin' this plane o' it." she takes the liquor from his hand and takes her own swig.
"...You're right. Those can wait. It's no typical summon though, as it seems to be forcing it's way through rather than having the door opened for it. Plus my typical aether spells do zilch."
"Any way t' send them back t' where they came from? Or cut the flowin'?"
"Not without several whizbangs and a pound of miracles."
"How's a ragged has-been 'n an ephemeral pirate sound?"
"Like the most fun I've had all week." he says, shooting a grin at the pirate as the smog rolled around them. "I've got an idea but you've got to get me in closer." she nods and grabs his shoulders, suddenly vanishing, and reappearing near the rift, a faint coughing from the air around him.
"Looks like it's just the has-been." he says, taking a deep drag from his cigarette, completely unfettered by the otherworldly smoke. He rubs his hands together and kneels down, hoping the smog will conceal him from sight. His hands make contact with the ground and he closes his eyes, focusing, a small blue light appearing on the ground underneath him - he keeps focusing, and the light turns into lines on the ground, turning into a circle around him... before more lines extend from that circle slowly, inching their way across the field, potentially appealing to anyone who could notice them through the heat of their fight.
Skylar Rolt, Arcane Sleuth Legendary Planeswalker - Rolt Whenever a nontoken card is put into the graveyard from anywhere for the first time each turn, investigate.  : Each player puts the top card of their library into their graveyard.  : As an additional cost to activate this ability, sacrifice X clues. Return X target nonland permanents to their owner's hands.  Did someone say bonus points? TWIYTC: "Reveal at the top seven cards" but typos happen my guy, seems cool, front half feels a little much to pay for the effect but I guess draw 3-4 is pretty good. 9/10. If you're not preoccupied, Rolt can't unsummon/seal on his own! And I don't think any amount of us can seal it very quickly...

The rift tore wider.
A mass of purple lashed from the rift, surrounding the prototype angel entirely before flinging her into the distance.
The creature poured from the rift like smoke, from as high as anyone could see all the way to the ground. Forms began to take shape as the purple fog rolled around the combatants.A giant punches at the flying mecha. A hungry lion leaps for the cat with the sketchbook. A minotaur tears into the path of the knight, horns ready for the horse. A moth grabs at the scientist, flying her high into the sky. A hybrid of too many animals to name tramples for the geomancer.
The fog collects strongest by Anne, towering into a lupine behemoth fit to fight a god, its fur seeming to wisp away into the fog around it.
Hundreds of insectile legs begin to break around the edges of the rift, and push. CONJURE - in addition to the big boi, each of you has a Conjure to deal with! You only need to defend against the Revelation or your Conjured attack, but bonus points for you if you can two-for-one Initial Cast

(Whirlwind of Steel isn't an attack, just a flavorful defense for some of the heroes of the realm who couldn't make it)
