Continuing on with the theme: Vorniclex'sVorinclex's Obliterator  Creature--Phyrexian Dinosaur Horror  Vigilance, reach, trample, haste Enrage—Whenever Vorinclex’s Obliterator is dealt damage, create an X/X token copy of it, where X is that much damage. 6/6 Oops! Thanks, BinaryBolas. |

Lady's Touch   Instant  Flip a coin. If the result is heads, destroy target artifact an opponent controls. If the result is tails, return target artifact an opponent controls, to its owners hand. Large numbers of inexplicable malfunctions, and misplacements, proved a great hindrance to the advancing forces of Phyrexia.
I wanted to tie what I did here, back to the card i made for #442: Summon your Creature!. So I decided the flavour should be unluck, and mechanically it should use randomness in some way. It was quite the challenge to make something I liked, but I got there in the end! |

Lady , thanks for the idea to use the concept from contest #442! Is there a Battle template yet in MSE? If so, where can I find it?
Turtle Defense Formation   Battle - Tactic  (You protect Tactics you control. Your opponents can attack them. When a player defeats a Tactic, exile it, then that player may cast it transformed.)When ~ enters the battlefield and at the beginning of your upkeep, create a token that's a copy of target artifact or enchantment you control, except it's a 0/2 Turtle creature in addition to its other types.  //// Splinter the ShellsSorcery Destroy all Turtle creatures your opponents control. The defense is only as strong as the weakest shell.Note: Splinter the Shells doesn't have a color indicator because it's colorless.
In the absence of a Battle frame, I'll use this. Let me know if there is something better!

Ember's Rage  Instant ~ deals damage equal to the number of lands you control to target creature, planeswalker, or battle. Then if excess damage was dealt, create a 0/1 green Plant creature token and put X +1/+1 counters on it, where X is the excess damage dealt. "I will protect my mothers!" - Ember(thanks to Idea for the concept that my character would be the daughter of Nissa and Chandra.)

Mebbe this is just me, but I'm imagining some Claremont-type shenanigans to make that happen. Also, I totally want this to become canon. |

If Chandra gets to have elemental cats, why not babies? Also, I see you find Vorniclex, the unpopular, probably disfunctional cousin to Vorinclex that everybody tries to forget about. |

Really like the idea of basing the concepts on our CotW 442 entries, so here we go:

Epiphanic Scrapper  Artifact Creature - Human Artificer At the beginning of your upkeep, you may pay 2 life or sacrifice an artifact. If you do, put a +1/+1 counter on ~. When ~ dies, create a colorless Giant Construct artifact creature token named Hexgold Titan with base power and toughness equal to the number of counters that were on ~. (Include all counters.)1/1 "I understand now, my teacher. Prepare for titans to fall."

Lady Before the spell starts to resolve, targets need to be declared, and since the tail side checks permanent targets, it should be logical that the head side needs permanent targets, too. I recommend change texts on the head side to "destroy target permanent if it's artifact", so that it's not confusing on the rules level.
vizionarius Then there should be an ability on the card says "this spell has no color". The existence of color indicator means that there's a hidden ability on the card that defines its color. If no color indicator is on the card, it is assume that the color of the card confers with its casting cost, no matter what border the card is using. That's why almost all lands are colorless, despite its frame might suggests that it taps for colors.

That's why almost all lands are colorless, despite its frame might suggests that it taps for colors. I think my use case is similar to a land (so no need for the text or the symbol). The spell has no mana cost since it's the backside of the Battle, and gets cast transformed. My thinking is that it's the same as with Guildpact Paragon (backside of Invasion of Ravnica). |

So I wasn't really sure whether to go with phyrexianized or invaded by phyrexia. I also wasn't sure if I wanted to use the concept from contest 442, or the self-insert designed for the " design your own theme deck" contest by pernicious . As I often do when I can't decide on something, I ended up going with "alright, I'll just do it all". So previous phyrexianized concept vs new concept:  Edit: A note on integrate, it's a mechanic created for that theme deck contest. It's basically the same as mutate, only it does not rule out humans and can work for other permanent types (albeit in this case that latter part isn't super relevant since it's narrowed down to integrating a creature card into a creature). |
