Thought I'd just showcase and enter a card from my current project Soulstorm, a return to a Tarkir fraught in chaos. The general premise follows Sarkhan's return to the plane and confronting Karlotta, a planeswalkering biomancer manipulating the dragonstorms to create the Perfected; a new powerful but subservient brood of dragons. As the power old broods begin to dwindle, will Sarkhan be able to restore his draconic paradise? Will Karlotta carve out a new homeland after the devastation of Ravnica? Or will the old Khans rise again from the ashes of dragon-fire? Anyway, this entry specifically calls-back to Unyielding Krumar, instead deserting the Kolaghan Brood to serve under Karlotta's Perfected. The future-shifted 'mechanic' in the set is off-colour morphs drawn from Whip-Spine Drake. Hope this counts   {Text} Relentless Krumar   Creature - Orc Warrior  First Strike Morph  (You may cast this card face down as a 2/2 creature for . Turn it face up any time for its morph cost.)Born in sands, trained under lightning, servant of the greater storm.3/2

SilentKobold You got a Link to your project so people can follow it? Not atm unfortunately. It's just over a month old, so leadfred and I still have only filled under half the skeleton (the easier commons/uncommons). This also keeps a good portion of the project highly subject to change. We're hoping to start a showcase around late April, but we can't make many guarantees once we start work/study again. Still, we'll probably both sprinkle a few designs that we're happy about through the forums in the mean where applicable.

Judging time! viriss : This is a very cute and fun card, and the reference is very strong. I love the use of Grandeur as well. I think my only issue is that as others have mentioned, this card doesn't work the way you want it to ruleswise. Ignoring that though, I really like this one. Flo00 : This card seems very complex and hard to follow. It took a few minutes of having to reread the card multiple times to really understand what the card does and how it works. Also the homage to Festering Newt, while it made sense, felt very vague. melono : So straight away, it was really hard to draw lines between the card you were referencing and the card you made. The only thing that I felt like was similar was that they both gave other creatures poisonous? This felt very disconnected. Furthermore, it felt like poisonous is just tacked onto this creature, and adds unnecessary complexity. All it's doing is halving your opponent's starting life total for a turn, and given how aggressive Gruul decks that might play this would be, it seems like it could be a hinderance rather than a help. ameisenmeister : This was a very fascinating card that I struggled to figure out just how strong it was. The first card that came to mind was Druid of the Cowl, but with only one toughness and the transmute, I can see some very good turn three shenanigans... but I am not totally sure how good. The other issue is that I could not figure out your reference point at all. I've been looking around for what or who the Dunja tribe is, and I can't find anything, so I am having to assume that it's a nod to one of the commons in the Kamigawa block where this tribe naming structure is from. But it also feels like it could reference any number of other mana dorks. SilentKobold : I love this card. The flavor you captured with your off-color morph, the little details like first strike, really bring this card to life in an amazing way, and it seems like a very solid limited card. And the winner is:

Thanks for the win. Given it comes from my first full set project, it's good to know we're doing something right And our new limits are... LIMIT #113: You act the part! Your card has an activated ability. (Thanks, Boogymanjunior!)LIMIT #56: It worked so well the first time! Your card uses a keyword that's only been used in ONE block before. (Thanks, marioware2!)LIMIT #160: Watch your fingers! All the numbers on your card sum to 10. (Numbers include mana cost, text box, p/t and loyalty costs. Number words don't count!) (Thanks SilentKobold)

I hope p/t also counts towards that total. And I also hope I can ignore flavor text. Else I'll have to redesign this. Bloodthirsty Nightblade   Creature - Ork Assissin  Outlast   (   ,  : Put a +1/+1 counter on this creature. Outlast only as a sorcery.) You may pay 2 life instead of paying the mana cost of outlast abilities. 2/2 3 + 1 + 2 + 2 + 2 = 10 if I'm correct. Note that you still have to tap to outlast since the 2 life only replaces the mana cost, not any other.

 {Spoiler} Korabii, the Wishmaker 2WUU Legendary Creature - Tiefling Wizard Mythic First strike When CARDNAME enters the battlefield, gain control of all tokens. Forecast - 2WU, Reveal CARDNAME from your hand: The controller of target permanent you don't control creates a token that's a copy of that permanent. (Activate this ability only during your upkeep and only once each turn.) 3/3

Totem of Consuming     Artifact  Creature spells you cast have devour 1.  , Remove three +1/+1 counters from target creature you control: Add    . You gain 3 life. I think that's an activated ability... Watch out, the limit says that number words don‘t count. So you don‘t have a total number of ten but of seven.

I'm pretty sure the last 3 is from adding 3 green mana.

ameisenmeister is this meant to be able to steal creatures or should it only be able to target your creatures?

Opal of the Maelstrom  Artifact  Surge (You may cast this spell for its surge cost if you or a teammate has cast another spell this turn.) : Add one mana of any color.  ,  , Sacrifice ~: The next spell you cast this turn gains cascade. (When you cast the spell, exile cards from the top of your library until you exile a nonland card that costs less. You may cast it without paying its mana cost. Put the exiled cards on the bottom of your library in a random order.)
