Muddle the Mixture 2: Augstralian Kangafrog

Thanks for the feedback and the card, Idea !

Up: Skyscour Observers is an interesting one with hybrids and Eldrazi, but definitely fits the mechanics and the blending of the two cards. Neat mirroring of the "ward" effect from fliers to Eldrazi, and the sac for it feels very fitting, especially due to the Scions's other ability. I'd play it early to cast my big Eldrazi, and late to protect them. Neat design!


Extracting Bite 
Sorcery 
As an additional cost to cast ~, sacrifice a creature with X colors.
Target creature you don't control gets -X/-X until end of turn.
Target creature you control gets +X/+X until end of turn. Whenever it deals combat damage to a player this turn, that player discards X cards.

Note: You choose the value of X as you’re casting this. (See Pie-Eating Contest.)

Next: Phyrexian Fleshgorger + Watery Grave

When I saw the cards, yeah, mixing the 2 life into the ward payment was my first thought as well. Giving the creature a mana ability in the non-prototype form was clever as well, and using the Dimir name was a nice way of bringing the flavor together, especially the menace part.

Next up:
Council Guardian

and

Breaker of Armies

Up: I think it looks like great fun.  5 toughness is low enough for some serious strategizing by players not involved in the combat.

Vitaphage
Creature - Beast
Trample

Honestly, while I see why you put in the sacrifice, it is both counter-synergistic (less -1/-1 and also now the trample isn't getting boosted) and pretty unnecessary at that kind of price. -1/-1 is a good mix of the destroying effect and the -+1/+1 effect though. I think I either would have made it so the blocking creature got -1/-1 for each land, thus removing the sacrifice entirely, or else I would have given more power using the sacrifice.

(This post is just a response, please ignore it for purposes of the game)

Leaving it as just types was intentional. The idea is precisely that at times you will wiff but you are benefitted by running artifact creatures or enchantment creatures and even planeswalkers with creature-turning abilities by whiffing less. This seemed fair to me as a +X/+0 ability on all creatures can be a pretty big deal.

Up: Simple effect. Would work in most sets.

Treacherous Refuge
Land
Treacherous Refuge enters the battlefield tapped.
When Treacherous Refuge enters the battlefield, you may sacrifice a creature. If you do, you gain life equal to its touhgness.
: Add or .
Its a safe haven only for the cautious.

Part Water + Top-Secret Tunnel

Up: Straightforward muddle.  Good art. Outstanding flavor text!!  Seriously I love the story the card tells.

Prismwake Fiend
Creature - Merfolk Zombie
Flash 
When Prismwake Fiend enters the battlefield, one or more target creatures become the color or colors of your choice until end of turn unless any opponent discards a card.
2/1

Next: 
Charge + Vitality Charm

It's probably bad form to reply back, but I like this game and it's been dormant for 3 weeks so I hope no one minds too much.

Up: Two choices of one-mana effects for two mana, I really think it's clever.  I would maybe like to see a little more symmetry in the options for the first choice but that's a very minor issue.  Great job!

Dromot, the Corpseflayer

Idea : I like the tie-in of mill to pump, but dissonant feels off, especially on a 2/2. It feels a lot like trample, but only if the other creature doesn't have trample, and with mill instead of damage. Creatures with flanking can get away with being small because they don't care about relative value difference between it and the blocker. If it was a "Whenever a creature without dissonant blocks this creature, defending player mills cards equal to this creature's power" and keep the pump ability as a trigger on mills, then I think it would be a bit cleaner and more versatile. I do like the "millstrike" effect as a mechanic!

Skull of Purphoros 
Legendary Enchantment Artifact
Indestructible
Creatures you control have haste.
, : You may return a creature card that's black, red, or an artifact from your graveyard to your hand. If your devotion to black and red is seven or more, you may return it to the battlefield instead. If you do, sacrifice it at the beginning of your next end step.

Next: Frenzied Devils + Dream Twist

For 6 mana I definitely feel this card does too much. Rarity aside this is a buffed Volcanic Dragon on the first line alone. Giving all instants and sorceries flashback is an extremely powerful effect that effectively doubles the use of all of those cards, which is a little offset by the fact your opponents also have it, but then the cost of activation draws you a card, including if you do it yourself, which is a massive draw engine on top of the fact that you probably could take better advantage of the already pretty powerful ability to begin with. And then on top of all this the card mills and can buff itself from that mill, albeit temporarily. 6 mana is way too low for all of this in my view, even at mythic.

I think the mixing aspect is interesting in the way you kind of built this sequence and put everything into more what it does to other cards or triggered by other cards. It think it might have been better if you tried a bit more of a mixing approach in this challenge rather than trying to have the card do everything.

Shanid, Sleeper's Curse

Up: Menace in mono white is too much of a pie break I'm afraid.  Switch one to and I think you've got a pretty nice looking card.

Aminathrii, the Venturer
Legendary Creature - Angel Child
Protection from permanents you own

I really like the way you mixed this, starting right away with a giant of vines for flavor which is really nice, but also in the way you switched around the trigger for the land searching (while still keeping it a one-off). The 'reach' I think I can kind of see what you were going for, but I don't feel really fits as either a derivative of the anti-"creatures without flying" ability nor the defender, though the initial impression I got was that it was kind of mixing the two (until I realized that I misread the giant's effect). As a standalone card I think it works pretty well, though monstrosity cost could probably be lowered a tad but definitely not a big deal.

Kagemaro's Clutch

Up: Very well-muddled abilities, but it feels much too powerful.  So Opportunity becomes "Draw 8, discard 4"? Yowza.  I'm no expert at development so take this with a huge grain of salt but that feels way too strong for 3 mana.  My guess, at minimum, is a "discard your hand at EOT" clause and another in the cost.  Still, cool card that would be great fun to play.

Skirsdag Martyr
Creature - Human Cleric
Sacrifice ~: Destroy target creature. Activate only if you control three or more Humans.
2/2
