The Un-Game

{Spoiler}Praying Hoplite is a nicely designed host card. I'm not sure about an effect that lets you cheat out cards at that rarity for that cost in what can easily become a recurring way, but I couldn't find much of anything with that kind of effect, which admittedly I do find odd. I would've probably raised the cost by at least .

Blessed really makes a pretty powerful combo with this one, but since both cards seem individually balanced (mostly) I'm fine with that. Both Blessed and Heroic seem like pretty fitting augment cards and I like how you explored these new concepts from magic into the old silver border through enchantment creature stuff. The one thing I would complain about aside from that potential cost matter is that the words 'blessed' and 'heroic' are two words I could easily see Wizards wanting to make cards for and these don't seem nearly generic enough to work as one-word cards with words that common.

{Spoiler}I very much like the effect of Soul Devourer as a host. It's something which will naturally vary as you play an augment making for a pretty fun-seeming self-referential effect. I also love the reference to the Shade card archetype with your Shade! Overall great balance too.

Ghastly I'm not as big a fan of, but it's a card that works nonetheless I feel.

{Spoiler}Aaaah man, I knew the day would come I would actually need to look into stickers. So I did, and I guess Sticker Collector seems acceptable (probably) if a bit niche in terms of so many parasitic mechanics.

Phyrexian Pub is a pretty neat card if limited by the fact the game will always be over at 10 poison counters (well, standard games anyways). So there is a hard maximum of 10 triggers and your opponent will probably fight for dear life to prevent you from keeping anything that can poison them if experience is anything to go by (because proliferate and the like can only start getting you once the first counter is in, and once they do it can really spread). I do love the wordplay in this card as well as the use of stuff like phyrexian mana and a - to toughness that give this card even more strategic flare due to having you make choices with trade-offs.

A planeswalker augment is a pretty neat idea too. I can't recall when planeswalkers were introduced as a card type (first ones I can think of were the Ajani and Nicol Bolas cards from their duel deck back in Alara). I think it works in terms of abilities and I have to wonder what ways there could be to put loyalty counters on a creature ahead of turning it into a planeswalker.

{Spoiler}Ok, that potato thing is hilarious. That's excellent in a silver border format. And of course a food gives you 3 life. *clap clap clap*

Friar is a nice addition with repeated triggers when combined with your Unremarkable Potato or with Adorable Kitten. In a more normal format it might even had combined with life gain triggers (like Ajani's Pridemate) more than some other life gain cards by giving you multiple triggers at once.

Jin is the one card I'm not as big a fan of in this batch. Don't get me wrong, I love the concept and I wish there was a real version of it just so I could experience the hilarity, but in the end of the day a +3/+2 bonus and card draw trigger just don't justify a seven mana cost.

{Spoiler}This victory goes to pernicious for some designs that are (mostly) mechanically well-designed and evocative, plus being hilarious, which I really is the essence of silver border, ain't it? Fun, funny and interesting.

As a very close runner up, moweda for some interesting mechanics and call-backs.
