notfoxwolfDry Out: An interesting idea for a card, but is almost definitely  or  , not  . Because of this I give it a 3/10. Interesting idea, wrong execution. "Well, I won't deny that is quite an introduction, though I fear you may have angered powers that you neglected to worry about, friend." Chrysoplei states, raising an eyebrow. "Perhaps you should reconsider."Shimmering Mist  Instant  Counter target instant or sorcery spell with no targets.

Shimmering Mist: Seems like an all around solid card. It answered my attack in a way I didn't expect which is nice. 9/10.

"Oh, hey, we've got a river here. Neat." Rekal looks at Chrysoplei and raises a bag he's holding to show it more clearly. "Hi. Have we got ducks here?"

NeottolemoDuck Feed: Neat tribal artifact. Only issue is missing the word "counter". Ability cost seems decent enough, as this would presumably be in a token deck of some sorts. 8/10 "Hail, friend. You ask for ducks? Well, I haven't seen any here specifically, though I have not been here long." He pauses for a moment. "Though these are quite close, in many ways." Graceful Swan    Creature - Bird  Flying Other Birds you control get +1/+1.   ,  : Other Bird creatures you control gain lifelink until end of turn. 2/2 (If you're wondering, I took it as a gift. Seems friendly enough.)

Hey there, oh interesting place. Are you currently using a Hakros to keep your appearance? If not I have a trade to propose. People seem to dislike some of my difficult to acquire mat...ahem relics. So I might offer something else.Shocking Theory   Sorcery  You and up to one target player may have ~ deal 5 damage divided as you both choose. Then each player draws a card for each 2 damage dealt this way. "I found that stimulating the brain with electeicity helps in the electric processes required for thinking, helping you to come with new ideas, that or it makes you crazy, not sure."Had too add the art. Description: a Goblin with some cables going to its head. Focus: A very big switch he is about to flip. Mood: Either way, this will shock you.

oddnanrefShocking Theory: How does this work? Bot players have to agree on the division I assume? Also, how does the card draw work? If you deal 2 damage to two targets and one to another do you draw two? So you draw two if you deal 4 damage to one target? Does it only care about total damage? If it works the way I think it does, I'll give it a 6/10. Not having to choose another player does up the power level somewhat, and it works in a group hug deck, but I don't know if its really well designed or not. "I'm not entirely sure what you are proposing, friend. I would perhaps ask for more details before agreeing to anything." Guarded Advance   Instant  Until end of turn, if noncombat damage would be dealt to you or a permanent you control, prevent that damage. You gain life equal to the damage prevented this way. "Curiosity killed the cat, so remain ever cautious."

mixedrandomjSlightly wrong formatting, really. See the other "Tempt with"/Temping Offer cards. Otherwise though, quite nice. 8/10. "You seem to be wanting to learn... Perhaps you should speak with a friend of mine?" Vanerom, Grand Archivist    Legendary Creature - Human Wizard  Whenever a player would draw any number of cards outside their draw step, that player may choose to scry twice that many instead.   ,  : Draw a card, then draw a card. 2/4 (The draw effect is based on it being a slightly cheaper Arcanis with the ability to replace your draws with scrying, but that ability applies to everyone, so isn't as expensive. If someone were to divination, it would be either draw 2 or scry 4, for example.) oddnanrefThe permanents don't gain haste, despite being until EoT? So most creatures are rater worthless, then. For what it is, it seems very overcosted, too, as cards like Catch do this without the usual downside of giving your opponent something, and you get to choose what you take. This isn't even really too great in 2HG, unless you need to give your teammate an enchantment or land for the turn or something, but even then, its not worth the cost in all honesty. For that, look at Harmless Offering, which if it was until EoT without haste could cost a mana or two. Overall, a 6/10, due to the overcosting and rather weak effect. Flavourful, but weak. "Wait, you plan to do something to me? Well, if you could explain it in layman's terms first, that would be welcomed." Take It All Back  Instant  Each player gains control of each permanent they own. For each permanent a player gains control of this way, that player draws a card. "Well, this is a mess. Let's just go back to the start, with the knowledge to avoid it in future."(Mostly useful to counter Act of Treason effects, or to synergise with cards that you give to your opponents. I think Brand is much more a blue effect anywyays.)

mocandragon5 (Yeah, well i was making it more concise, although I guess the consistency may be off for those types) The main problem I see with the symetrical effect is that a player can't benefit from it if they don't have much card draw, and even when a color like red plays a card that can use it, it could mean they discard cards (looting spells). This unintentionally unbalances it a bit although I see why you would do it like this, making it not too easily broken for the owner lol. As for the activated ability, choose one- Preordain, Serum Visions, Weave Fate, or scy 2 then scry 2. The thing with Arcanis is that it costs 6 for a 3/4, which is very hard to get out and have live since you may need to tap out for it. Although arcanis does have protection that this card lacks, I think the ability may be undercosted a tiny bit considering its two instances of draw with its ability (I know it was intentional, but that makes this card way too versatile even if it's symetrical). I know its old but Archivist is a 1/1 that costs the same and has  : Draw a card Cephalid Broker also costs the same, Taps for draw 2, but makes you discard two. and is a 2/2 It's legendary, which helps it, but it may be too powerful for its cost. I do like how you took on my card though and made everyone able to benefit from its effect, so the total will be 7/10. Cost may need adjusting, everything else is good. _______________ The golem appears content with the information, attentive to it all, seemingly entranced by it. As it moves, It begins to glow again, this time a soft green pulse eminates from it.
Harmonic Resonance  
Sorcery  Each player searches their library for a basic land card, and puts it onto the battlefield tapped, then shuffles their library. Then each player gains 2 life for each land they control that shares a basic land type with that land. Shuffle ~ into its owner's library. And I'll Combo my card with Magic Origin's Nissa's Pilgrimage (For 3 Mana). Putting a forest onto the field and searching for more. (Take this how you wish but I intend it to be a gift that's also a little challenge of getting more value out of it then me. Looking forward to seing your responce)

mixedrandomjSeems fine. I would say it could possibly cost   , but with the shuffle, I can see it costing about this much. Nice card overall. 9/10"Perhaps I could show you around a bit too?" Joint Exploration   Instant  You and target player who controls more lands than you each create a 1/1 white Scout creature token. For each opponent who controls more lands than you, search your library for a basic Plains card and put it onto the battlefield tapped, then shuffle your library. Obviously meant for multiplayer.

mocandragon5 Knight of the white orchid is interesting. This even more so because it's balanced for multiplayer but also is more powerful in that as well. The fact that it's instant speed is also really strong, but your giving an opponent a 1/1. I find it hard to judge this because I can easily see this be a 3 land ramp at instant speed for white in Commander, which is terrifying, but then land tax is a thing in that, so. I'm gonna give it an 8/10. Gotta say the fact that in two headed, this can give your teammate a 1/1 but still only counts enemy lands is weird. Unlikely, but battlebond has shone some light on this as something that needs to be taken into consideration with multiplayer card design. You get a lot of these points for the well made responce and the fun card, but could have graded this better if it just didn't instant speed ramp white so massivly in 4 player commander. Ryn looks around the scenes, bewildered by the sites you show. It seems to take notice of some birds that fly overhead. The core of the golem then glows white, and a spectral bird flys from it in a similar fashion before vanishing.Spirit's Guidance 
Instant  Each player may untap up to one creature they control. You gain 2 life, then draw a card.

mixedrandomjSimple, nice. Not much to say. 8/10 "You are very curious, you know? Perhaps at some point you could even learn to speak." Current Elemental   Creature - Elemental  Whenever ~ becomes untapped, you may scry 1.   ,  : Draw a card. 2/2 Lady MapiI have no idea how to judge sagas. This combines effects from old blue cards, and things like the High tide effect are almost definitely out of blue to my knowledge at this point. I love the idea though. Also, the first chapter effect has the first sentence repeated. 7/10 "I believe the fact two of my visitors tried to destroy this stream here is enough of a sign that they need protecting, friend."

mocandragon5 Im not gonna take off points for it, because I don't beleive they even print cards with the keyword in different sets even if it's the same effect, but i would like to point out that's inspired. For the rating, Exultant Cultist has the same stats and cost, but only draws when it dies and doesn't scry, however your card costs to draw. I feel the draw ability needs to cost  more, but other than that, this is an interesting card. Im gonna give it a 9/10 but with the change, it is still a pretty good card. I've decided to round it up to the 9 because it's a very good responce to my card, as the power level has me tetering on the rate. The being looks at you, then begins to think. It starts glowing blue, as sigils, glowing in blue arcane magic circle it.Scribe's Sigils   Sorcery  Target player may scry 1, then scry 2, then scry 3. "Each legend starts to feel the same after you've read several thousand, and written even more."

As for Guardian of Purity... my first thought was internal screaming, and then I noticed the important words "planeswalkers" and "creatures" were missing. A bullet was consequently dodged. With that out of the way, it's a pretty classic White "I HATE THAT YOU DO THINGS" design, so I'm going to give you a 9/10"I see... And do you suppose that that has nothing to do with the fact that you're guarding it? What if people are opposed to the river purely because you say that they shouldn't?"Perspective Shock -    Instant  Perspective Shock deals 2 damage to any target. Then return target permanent to its owner's hand. One man's here is another man's there.

Ah yes, the fun times of being gone for over six months. Oh well. I'll give my ratings but won't respond to them with cards. Let's just say mister River Guardian got himself in a bit of a pickle for a while. mixedrandomj - The Cryptic Annelid ability, eh? Seems fine for two mana. I like the potential political aspect of giving it to someone else. 9/10 Lady Mapi - Shock and Boomerang. Could perhaps cost more, but it's fine. 8/10

Chrysoplei sits, thinking to himself, letting what little information he had from his visit to Reyhsia sink in. The occasional image flashed through his mind for a split second each as he slowly felt himself move in ways that seemed both alien yet familiar, channelling magic he had once learned but since forgotten. He frowned. It seemed he was getting some of his memory back, slowly, but that place he saw in his memories was definitely not his home. Perhaps it wouldn't be too difficult to press this advantage. Chrysoplei has unlocked  mana, as well as the ability to call for aid from Ixalan and Rivals of Ixalan.

As Chrysoplei is minding his own business, a strange phenomenon occurs. The earth shakes so violently one could think someone's breaking through every tectonic plate straight to the core. Spikes begin to shoot from the ground and the ground seems to split in multiple locations. It all stops as suddenly as it began, but the sequels remain. Even though the spikes and cracks point in random directions, they all seem to converge at the source. Maybe following them will lead to the phenomenon's epicenter.Tectonic InstabilityLand   : Add  .  ,  , Sacrifice ~: It deals 1 damage to each creature without flying and each player.

Xirix on guard, Chrysoplei on time, Mei... rolling in. Her voice followed into Reyhsia's head. If you haven't already, introduce me as Sofi. I've got a cover to not blow.
The mist reformed into the young vampire, who gave a small nod to the guardian. "Chrysoplei, this is Mei." The vampire's mouth twitched. "She'll be able to get into your head, and may be able to bring back some things you've forgotten."
If they're forgotten, and not just gone, whispered through Chrysoplei's mind. She walked to the man, wincing visibly as she passed Reyhsia's sword.
Don't trust me Reyhs? Good.
Alright Chrysanthemum, I'm going in, let me know if you remember anything.Mei, the Lockpick   Legendary Creature - Vampire Rogue  Play with the top card of your library revealed. You may cast the top card of your library. Whenever you do, you lose life equal to that spell's converted mana cost. 2/4(too be clear he doesn't hear the don't trust me bit)

korakhosAs the earthquake begins, Chrysoplei reflexively casts a spell, throwing himself up into the air momentarily. Upon landing after the earthquake ceases, he begins to follow back to its source. Vigorous Leap   Instant  Creatures you control gain flying until end of turn. Tectonic Instability - Seems good. That effect should be fine on a land. 9/10 cajunChrysoplei appraises Mei as she approaches. He doesn't say anything only giving a slight nod to Mei and bracing himself. The inside of his head seems to have an innate defence system of sorts, which rebuffs Mei as she tries to enter. Psychic Disruption  Instant  Counter target spell that wasn't cast from its owner's hand. Mei, the Lockpick - A black version of Future Sight. I think that cost is appropriate, but I'm not entirely sure. 9/10.

Vigorous Leap: Strictly better Magnetic Flux this is completely broken 0/10. I was gonna give this a 9/10 because it felt balanced but not particularly extraordinary but I couldn't find a single card that actually did that effect and nothing else, I'm surprised this hasn't been seen before, so 10/10.

He's got some kind of mental block keeping me out. Hey if you want to do this... ugh. You can't even hear me, can you."Hey, Chrysalis," her gravely voice said beside him. "You've got something in here stopping me. If you didn't hear me before now, it's really good at what it does. Any way for you to turn that off so I can do my job?"Poquilos' Shield Legendary Artifact  As Poquilos' Shield enters the battlefield, choose a number. Whenever an opponent casts a spell with converted mana cost equal to the chosen number, counter that spell unless its controller pays its mana cost. (Mana cost includes color.) "It'll take a lot more than that to bring down the floating city!"
(for the uninitiated, Mei comes from Poquilos and it's currently at the bottom of a plane-sized ocean.) feel like this could maybe be 2, but dropping this turn 2 and making their 2 drops cost 4 is oof Psychic Disruption - reminds me of Nix, but seems like it'd work in any set with a flashback or a jump-start or whatever. 9/10
