Yeah remember when I did the whole "boohoo I'm leaving" thing? That was funny, right? Man, what a wild guy I am. So quirky. |

You are outside, and it is raining. There is a small dog with curly brown fur sitting in the rain, on the side of the road. What do you do?
Lost Mongrel  Creature - Dog  Whenever a Human enters the battlefield under your control, if there are no +1/+1 counters on Lost Mongrel, put a +1/+1 counter on Lost Mongrel and draw a card. 1/1

Instant - Lesson You may remove a counter from target permanent. If you do, that permanent's controller loses 1 life. Lost Mongrel - Cute human tribal thing, really slick. I like this a lot - beautiful in flavor and simplicity. 10/10. |

Inside a library, a small selection of books lies open on the floor, while others are seemingly floating in the air, or the eye more versed in soul or spiritual-related matters, are being held by bound spirits. The bottom half of those spirits trails back to the one they are bound to, the mass of shadowy mists known as Soumaw, currently in the process of carefully absorbing a book into its body. Perhaps, it believes, it may find some clue regarding the prophecy at this library. After all, libraries are known to be places where people come to obtain new knowledge, stored in the pages of the books. Soumaw is already finding this at least somewhat worth the time, even if it doesn't end up finding those clues, as some of these books seem to contain instructions on some spells. One in particular caught its eye. It repeats the words in the book without really understanding their meaning, though it is aware of the intended effect. Purple light seems to flow through the shadow that make up its body, and then that light is released, forming a cubic shape with several arcane inscriptions upon it. The barrier should interfere with outside-in spellcasting and general intrusion, if the description in the book was correct, giving Soumaw more time to continue consuming books for potential clues.

Gate of Arcane Toll  Enchantment  Whenever an opponent casts a spell during your turn, they lose 1 life. (Forgive me for turning it into text, just felt unnecessary to have the image twice, just me being anal) Chakos enters the library, looking around to see what this place was. "Unmarked, no staff of any sort..." before his attention was caught by the ruffling of pages and the various wooshes of magic. He follows the sounds and turns into a row, seeing the floating books and the purple mass seemingly absorbing a book. "You! Unhand these tomes now!" he says, ignoring the black spark that caught on his skin as a result of casting his own spell.Backup Suppression Field Instant All nonaura enchantments lose all abilities until end of turn. Learn. (You may reveal a Lesson card you own from outside the game and put it into your hand, or discard a card to draw a card.)"That failed spectacularly... at least we had a backup plan!" - Fynia, unlucky wizardGate of Arcane Toll: Simple enough, sorta fills that spot but usually goes to green, not bad though. Two mana might be two much though, maybe slap a "sacrifice this to do something" on top of it just so it isn't dead sometimes? 7/10. |

He follows the sounds and turns into a row, seeing the floating books and the purple mass seemingly absorbing a book. "You! Unhand these tomes now!" he says, ignoring the black spark that caught on his skin as a result of casting his own spell. Soumaw turned its head in response to the shout, just in time to feel the warning sensation of the ward, just in time to experience the spell of magic that was thrown at it. The books the ghosts around it were dropped, and there a splitting feeling in Soumaw's mind, as if for a fraction of a moment the shadows that composed it were not bound to itself. Soumaw had a glimpse of a sensation that compelled it to push the book down faster rather than pulling it away, welcoming the pages into its own shadows, and it was far from sated. It was what akin to what beings of flesh and bone would call... ... Hunger. It was as though Soumaw's body recalled the sensation of what it used to be, and what it used to do, seeming to inflate into a wall of dark mists before its newfound conscious brought it back into a smaller and more stable form, expelling the remaining mists forward, like a curtain of black swallowing the path ahead. It should do little more than cause some confusion, but then again Soumaw wanted a moment to recompose itself and that should suffice for it.
(Forgive me for turning it into text, just felt unnecessary to have the image twice, just me being anal) Perfectly fine, don't worry about it. I do prefer to make renders, but if you'd like me to I can start just making the text instead. Backup Suppression Field Instant " style="max-width:100%;"] All nonaura enchantments lose all abilities until end of turn. Learn. (You may reveal a Lesson card you own from outside the game and put it into your hand, or discard a card to draw a card.)"That failed spectacularly... at least we had a backup plan!" - Fynia, unlucky wizardGate of Arcane Toll: Simple enough, sorta fills that spot but usually goes to green, not bad though. Two mana might be two much though, maybe slap a "sacrifice this to do something" on top of it just so it isn't dead sometimes? 7/10. Certainly looks like an interesting strategic play, very blue. You'd have to time it very well, though even without that you might get away with not being punished by two-way enchantments you cast even if your opponent is not playing them. Again, very blue. On a personal level I'm really not a big fan of learn, but I'll account for that to try to not let it affect the rating. I'll give this card an 8/10.  |

The drow walks in the rain, and despite the mud and misery, his gait is that of a determined one. An arm above his face to shield his eyes from the downpour, he makes for the road. As he comes to it, he looks up and sees the dog, sitting on the other side of it. He stares inquisitively. He begins to cross the road towards it.Beginner's Hex Instant - Lesson You may remove a counter from target permanent. If you do, that permanent's controller loses 1 life. [PLAYING AS GUEST]
Beginner's Hex: 9/10. This would be a 10 if it were a sorcery. It being an instant means that if you learn it your opponent has to keep it in mind at all times, even during combat. But the effect is niche enough that it doesn't have quite the level of memory issues that, say, an instant-speed damage spell Lesson would.
The dog walks across the street to meet you, remaining slightly cautious. Perhaps it's never seen a drow before?

When ~ enters the battlefield, target opponent creates a token that's a copy of it. Whenever enchanted creature deals combat damage to a player, its controller draws a card.
