VS. as in Goblin vs. Elves, Elspeth vs. Tezzeret?
Or something like "Versus" in the context of a fighting game...?

| Kox and Eba, Twin-hatched Cheats
A black, a red, and a green
Legendary Creature – Kobold Coward
Whenever Kox and Eba fight a creature you don’t control, you may have another creature you control join the fight. If that creature would survive, Kox and Eba gains indestructible until end of turn. (Each creature deals damage equal to its power distributed as its controller chooses among other creatures in the fight.)
Pay a black, a red, a green, a generic, and tap: Kox and Eba fight target creature you don’t control.
3/2
The card art is Two Kobolds by John Tendrick.
It depicts Two Kobolds standing next to each other in fighting positions. |
The idea here is that Kox and Eba get a third critter to join any fight, and if you don't kill that critter first, they'll use it to prevent themselves from losing. You have to kill their cheat before you can kill them.
I could probably get away wit this being a non-legendary creature, if only I could be cured from my incurrable need to name all my cards with real, specific names.

Here's my entry for the weekly challenge. I like to revisit old keyword concepts from old sets that aren't used anymore (There's often a good reason why they're not used anymore.)  Design process: When I first started designing what would be my entry I started to search for potential sources of inspiration in media and in things I know, some of you may be familiar with "Final Fantasy XIV", the MMO which recently had an expansion launch, and it was on this expansion that we got a new set of endgame fights as part of our traditional raid rotation titled: "The Arcadion" which is pretty much an anime tournament arc made into Final Fantasy, the fighters often cheat or use "illegal moves" during the match to try to win against our party, so I knew I wanted to design something related to that, something that depicts a "Feature Match" & "Fair/Unfair Fight".However, while chatting with some friends on Discord, someone brought up the scene from "Daredevil" where after choosing not to lose the fight, Matt Murdock's dad is assassinated by one of the involved parties, which also went into part of the design, which made me think about what surrounds an actual boxing match (or any kind of duel) as there's always a 3rd party interested in the outcome of the match, and many are willing to bend or outright break ethical boundaries to achieve the desired results, and often lash out in anger when even after their meddling, this 3rd party doesn't get the desired result. So now we had three concepts that flowed together and should fit into a card: 1.- "Feature Match" (Two creatures fight) 2.- "Fair/Unfair Fight" (Creatures lose all abilites, hence, their advantages) 3.- "Rigging & Consequences" (The match can be rigged with enough treasure, however, even if the match doesn't end in a K.O. both creatures are still vulnerable after the fight, trading blows weakens anyone and lowers their guard outside the ring.)
So here it is, my entry for #533. Hope you enjoyed it! |
