Look At Me, I'm R&D

While my absence for the past two weeks didn't help much, I'm nearly done adding all images.









EDIT: In case you're interested, I've decided to upload the renders I have so far. So here are the R&D Cards as well as the Idea Cards. Enjoy!

Your next challenge: 

 

Using Hellbent & Green:

Journey Through the Wilds
Sorcery
Search your lirbary for a basic land card, reveal it and put it into your hand. Then shuffle your library.
Hellbent — If you have no cards in hand, instead search your library for two basic land cards and put them onto the battlefield tapped, then shuffle your library.
Splice onto instant or sorcery

Wow.. I don't think I'll ever use that CMC 16 limit xD

EDIT: Sadly Splicing onto enchantments doesn't fit the challenge, so I had to redo my entry. I kept the two newly rolled R&D Cards and only swapped the Blue/Black and the Enchantment ones.

I'm throwing a long-overdue judging out. 

Zuty : That's a rather powerful engine. Not sure if it's too strong or not, but I don't think this would fit at uncommon - repeatable 3/3s for two mana are quite good. Having said that, the number of loops you need to jump through (having instant or sorceries in a green deck alongside an overarching graveyard theme) make me think that this just might be fine. I also think I like using splice for situational effects. B 

Flo00: This is IMO, a solid interpretation of the typical splice card with a twist, especially since repeatably land searching isn't quite as backbreaking as something like token creation or face damage. The hellbent is a bit of icing that works well with holding onto this card, but has some anti-synergy with the splice mode. Small quip -- you can build around it with discard or effects allowing you to play additional land effects. Overall, I like this. A- 

Xenagos : Had to go search up what bands with other legendary creatures does. Aside from the confusion behind banding, this is a decent repeatable effect and honestly probably a good candidate for splice. B+ 

Daij_Djan : Repeatable fateseal sounds painful. Still, the cost might keep it in check -- three mana to cast and four mana to splice are large enough costs that maybe this is fine? Not sure. B-

Flo00 wins, with Xenagos as runner up. 

@Fleur: Big thanks for the feedback. To be honest, I was scared of my design as well even though I think the cost is high enough to keep it in check..

Anyway, let's focus on the new challenge:








It's rather wordy for a common, but I think it's borderline ok considering 90% of its text basically never matters after it has entered the battlefield (and the effect is pretty clean and simple earlier). So this leaves me with..



Now that's an interesting combination of mechanics..

Authority of Battle
Enchantment - Aura
Enchant creature
Enchanted creature has double strike.
Whenever enchanted creature deals combat damage to a player, create a 1/1 white and red Human Soldier creature token.

Lieutenant of Boros Army  (Rare)
Legendary Creature - Human Knight (2/3)
: Create a 1/1 red and white Soldier creature token with First Strike and Haste.
, : All Soldiers you control gain Provoke until end of turn.

I'll probably judje this tomorrow. I'm not 100% sure I'll find time for it, but the chances are good.

I'm too tired right now to do a full judging. To keep this going, Fleur wins. I'll do a full judging sometime later.

This game idea is sick, thanks Zuty.

Using Landfall, Black & White, and Snow:
