SirnightNano I quite like this card! The only problem I have is that Dragons are almost always flying, which this card can't interact with.  I didn't want to make it too much of a red hoser on its own. As it is it makes a very compelling target for equipment and auras that give flying, such as On Serra's Wings though |

Updated to: Weaver of Souls    (entry) Creature - Spirit ( U) Soul-link (Whenever this creature is
dealt damage, its controller gains
that much life.)2/3 "Two steps behind is a step forward for
me."And a rare version... Iyanushi, Gatekeeper to Hal  (example)
Legendary Creature - Spirit Creatures you control with lifelink have soul-link instead. (Whenever this creature is dealt damage, its controller gains that much life.)
If a creature you control would take lethal damage, it gains indestructible until end of turn. 3/6 "You cannot have death without life,
and you cannot have life without
death." |

A riff on devotion that counts creature types instead of mana symbols.  |

Meant to be a riff on morph. spazlaz please tell me if this is too much of a departure. Reminder text is meant to specify that it transitions from being a colorless artifact to becoming its original colors, and on, say, a white/blue creature, it'd specify a transition to that.
obvious okami reference is obvious. after picking the art I went "welp, might as well go all the way with it" and wrote that FT too

inverness: You take Vampire Nighthawk, riff on deathtouch such that damage dealt TO the creature by a planeswalker or another creature kills the source of that damage, riff on lifelink by expanding it to match Soul Link, then lose flying to balance it out. Also because Phyllobates terribilis doesn't fly.
ps I like your entry. It's a nice evolution of the potential hinted at by Voracious Dragon. Plus, it's a nice flavorful callback to Goatnapper.
jynx316: Your entry needs artist credit.
ZephyrPhantom: Quicksilver Elemental You might wanna pick a new name. Also, This seems like it deserves to also be a shapeshifter, as that's essentially what the mechanic is doing. |

Curious, do people prefer:
• (Whenever this creature is dealt damage, its controller gains that much life.)
• (Whenever this creature deals or is dealt damage, its controller gains that much life.)
Obviously, the second is strictly better than the first. But does it elevate the keyword to a status where it would only be able to balanced on a very small list of cards?

Tesagk : The second is just the first + lifelink. The first is different from lifelink, but not in a particularly meaningful way; creatures are most often dealt damage through blocking, so it'll be gaining life all the same, just slightly different amounts depending on the situation. (more when fighting smaller creatures less when chump blocking, after which it'll probably die.) (EDIT: oh and it doesnt gain life from hitting players. forgot that part. kinda sucks) I think an -link mechanic would have to do something other than gaining life to be mechanically distinct. Like squirrellink. (don't use squirrellink) Also you can only submit one card, so make it clear which is your entry inverness : Fair. I made it believing that the Affinity rules didn't cover the stack but there's nothing that says they don't. I'm happy to make something else, but spazlaz hasn't commented so I'll assume it's fine for now

Edit: Also, could we not say double strike is just first strike with more damage? Or that multi-kicker is just a kicker we can activate more than once? Seems to me that a common theme in evolved keywords is that they do something similar, just better. |

spazlaz : I really like that card but you messed up the second ability wording. I'm gonna go for a silver bordered card on this. Based on Super haste and Time Machine. Time Travel Traveler   (Silver Bordered)Creature - Human Wizard  Super flash (You may cast this spell any time you could cast an instant. When you cast this spell, exile it. At the beginning of the first upkeep in your next game put this onto the battlefield)
"Day -1: Now I really have a problem."2/2

kinotherapy: I meant that the second one was basically just like an upgrade, like first strike -> second strike. I think I'm going to stick with that, though. Lifelink is already a weaker mechanic, so double lifelink shouldn't be too bad. Updated again: Weaver of Souls (entry) Creature - Spirit ( U) Soul-link (Whenever this creature is
deals or is dealt damage, its controller
gains that much life.)2/3 "Two steps behind is a step forward for
me."And a rare version... Iyanushi, Gatekeeper to Hal (example)

Attachment DeletedCold Dead Hands  Instant  Creaturedelve (Each creature card you exile from your graveyard while casting this spell pays for .)Destroy target creature with power X or less.

@ sdj - Fair points. I think I'm going to be swapping my submission, though:  Snowbound Sharpshooter Creature - Human Archer Rifttouch (Whenever this creature deals damage to another creature, return that creature to its owner’s hand.) : Snowbound Sharpshooter deals 1 damage to target creature. Activate this ability only if you’ve cast a noncreature spell this turn. 1/2 |

Akai Ryu Also, just my 2 cents, but it's weird that Marvel can trigger off Miracle but not other cards with Marvel. I think it should be able to trigger off other cards with Marvel so that you have incentives to run multiples.

gateways7: VERY nice! Cipher is a rather underrated mechanic, and Cipher onto Rogue seems like the perfect evolution of it. It's my belief that one of the reasons cipher is so underrated is that because WotC felt they had to have it at  & , they muddied the waters of its greatness with absolutely godawful effects that nobody wants, like Trait Doctoring. Also, abscond is one of those words you can't believe WotC hasn't used yet. |

 When in doubt, design a common. Giant Brawler   Micromorph (You may cast this face down as a 2/2 creature for 3. Turn it face up any time for its micromorph cost and put a -1/-1 counter on it.) 4/4 |

This card is fucking gorgeous and amazing and also brokenly powerful to the point where it removes all the fun for the other player which is a design no no. |

This card is fucking gorgeous and amazing and also brokenly powerful to the point where it removes all the fun for the other player which is a design no no. Admittedly, that card does require you to have both cards drawn in a row right after each other, but since scry is an evergreen keyword... |

Notably, if you draw both cards in the right order but also during the same effect (like Weave Fate or w/e) you can't cast for Marvel. |
