Shift the Card

Up: I still really want it to have reach!  But I'm crazy for the madness.




Next: Alternate Gaberial Angelfire

Up- Boneyard Offering: Interesting take. Reminds me of Songs of the Damned more than sacrifice though.

Up- Eternal Tribute: This will be hard to keep track of, but leads to very interesting tension. Do you exile an expensive creature and take 6 every turn? It’s probably too good at instant speed.

As for my card- Challenge Accepted!
Gabriel Shadowflame
Legendary Creature — Demon
Whenever you surveil, choose one:
*Gabriel Shadowflame deals 2 damage to each opponent
*~ gets +1/+1 and gains lifelink until end of turn
*~ can’t be blocked this turn
*Draw a card
6/6

Next: Let’s see what our pals the Grizzly Bears could be in the Future(shift)

Up: Aside from being a strictly better basic land (and better than Alpha duals under many circumstances), that's far too cheap a token creation ability to go on a land. More often you're looking at five mana or so for a 1/1.

Kastarid Surgemaster
Creature - Homarid Shaman
Whenever you play a land, put a +1/+1 counter on Kastarid Surgemaster.
Whenever an opponent plays a land, remove a +1/+1 counter from Kastarid Surgemaster.
2/2

Next challenge: Timeshift Cabal Therapy.

Up: I think this might be a bit weak actually - the choice given to the opponent means this ability is actually not that strong? I might be underestimating, though. 

Orma  
Creature - Elemental
Haste
Whenever CARDNAME attacks, it has base power and toughness X/X until end of turn, where X is the number of cards in defending player's hand.
No two people die to the same orma. 
2/2

Next: Alternate Talrand, Sky Summoner

Up: Looks balanced, but can get out of hand very quickly. Also seems like a white token. I like how it mirrors Talrand.

Multifarious Manipulation
Enchantment — Aura
Enchant creature
When Multifarious Manipulation enters the battlefield, surveil 2, then choose target creature or target creature card in a graveyard.
Enchanted creature is a copy of the chosen creature.

Next: Alternate Etrata, the Silencer

Up: I like the design, but it doesn't really feel like Etrata. Maybe adding some kind of win condition to the second ability in some way would make it more relatable.



Next: Futureshift Baton of Morale

Banding isn't weak at all, though...

gluestick248 : I recommend building a banding deck and playing it in casual, the ability was actually very potent and if it had continued to be printed might be a little overpowered given the turn that aggro has taken since the Modern card face.
The banding ability in a nutshell is a group of creatures are banded together as a single attacking unit and they must attack the same target and are blocked by the same target (there are restrictions on what can be in this group), this is the cost of the ability (aka the negative).
The positive of the ability is that the attacker chooses how damage is distributed amongst the banded group. One of the original tricks was to include a creature with protection from in a banded group effectively making them indestructible during combat, a no brainer nowadays would be mixing them with Beloved Chaplain. The ability is also quite fun when mixed with non-evasion combat abilities.
The drawbacks to Banding is that there were few creatures with the ability making it only a minor aspect in most casual Highlander formats (not enough cards to draw from). Other than that it is only legal in the Eternal Formats which tend to play so fast that the ability is too weak (as are almost all abilities in that format).

Up: Atagatogatog, seems like there might be some tongue in cheek in this perhaps it should be silver-bordered. I like it though.

Next: Alternate Martyr of Frost

Up: Great take on the Martyr cycle. “Unless they pay ” is usually a counterspell thing, but I think there’s room for it in other places.

Kari Zev, Renegade Hero
Legendary Creature — Human Pirate
Whenever a creature you control attacks, create a red 1/1 Monkey creature token that’s tapped and attacking. For each of those tokens, exile it at end of turn unless you pay .
3/3

Next: Alternate Adaptive Automaton

Up: Honestly I like this more than Embercleave, it's more interactive while still potentially giving a tempo advantage with a punishing back-swing if the opponent over commits. 10/10

Not much to work with here so I'll have to draw some inspiration from the flavor of earlier printings...
