<BB> Gurfafflekins Battle Board <Hilda, Pyromancer>

The mystic nodded, doing better to hold back a smile this time, but it was obvious they were pleased by their interest. "Sanaerti indeed. Please, let me help you before I send you on your way. My business here is unfinished as of yet."




The mystic provided details for Bell to follow to Sanaerti. It would take him two or so weeks, by foot, to reach it.

Brush Off: Weird card. Technically it's half an Alpha Authority and half a [/card]Pacifism[/card], one for whether you use it on your own stuff or not. Green has gotten negative aura's before, but they're sorta rare, but this does let you keep the creature so I guess it's fine. 8/10

Popcornia Journey to Anywhere: Seems neat and political (EDH woohoo), but at the same time very situational.  It does take out a blocker in the worse case scenario, and can punish negative etb effects for say a cheaper creature, but the fact they get so much control just allows it to be kinda pointless a lot of the time.  7/10. I also realize you can use it in more situations, what with making enchantments and equips fall off, and unyoinking.  Still pretty situational though. 8/10.

Bell nods.  Fair enough.  He listens to her instructions, and gives her thanks, before heading back towards their current home.  After the trek there is complete, Bell sighs.  He takes a look at the grass outside, and takes out a flask from his coat.  Opening it, he dumps it onto the ground, water falling to the ground where he had planted a seed earlier.  

Cultivator of Gazhim
Creature - Human
When ~ enters the battlefield, create a 0/2 green Plant creature token with defender.
2/2

After 15 minutes of resting, Callie flies up to his shoulder.  He gives her a questioning look and she nods.  Bell is suddenly gone in a flash, and the peal of lightning approaches Sanaerti in 10 minutes.  A few miles out from the town, he reappears at the end of the trail of lightning.  It'd take him a while to walk the rest of the way, but better that then to cause a scene.

If uninterrupted, he should arrive some time in the evening.

Bell's path to the city, was in fact, uninterrupted.

His entrance into the city, however, was not.

At a guard post at the perimeter, adorned with symbols similar to the one worn by the mystic at the village. He was in the right place. He was stopped quickly however at the perimeter of the city. It seemed they were on alert.



"Your business, traveler?"

Cultivator of Gazhim: Decent. Nothing really wrong here, besides the plant token, which is usually a 0/1. 7/10

A strangely chilly wind blows in the woman's face, then disappears.

A Chill Wind Blows
Covert Scheme
(Rather than set this scheme in motion, you may leave it face down. You may look at it and may turn it face up to set it in motion at any time.)
When you set this scheme in motion, put a -1/-1 counter on each creature target opponent controls.

Assisting the defense of Bell (so pww, you'll rate this one too)

The guards looked him over, speaking among themselves for a moment, then nodded. "Very well, step on through."

That was easier than it felt like it was supposed to be. Bell was, without much trouble, permitted to enter the city, soon stepping onto a road that delved further into the massive city.

It seemed he had a lot of walking to do.

Unflinching Warrior: I'm reminded of Countryside Crusher for some reason. Anywho, the "until end of turn" clause is confusing, and the deal is impulsive draw for red always exiles the card. Otherwise, maybe it's fine? I'd make it "Attacks and isn't blocked" personally. 6/10

pacifistwestwoman Shifty Rogue: Not sure why it needs the -1/-1 counter on a creature you control.  Feels weird, would be fine as a vanilla 3/3.  Maybe in some set where you use -1/-1 counters or something like Flourishing Defenses?  7/10. Because it's alright at common but sorta not good as a card.
cajun

Bell walks past the woman and only gives her a quick "No." in response.  Then the wind blows by, and he stops in his tracks.  Smells of... deceit and that bizarre smell he's smelled before.  He looks around and sees no trace of the icy woman.  He turns back to the woman in leather armor.  "Why do you ask?" he demands, stepping towards her, clearly not amused with whatever is happening.

Energy Refashioner
Creature - Human Druid
When ~ enters the battlefield, you may remove any number of -1/-1 counters from any number of target creatures. Put a +1/+1 counter on ~ for each counter removed this way.
"Energy is not good, nor bad.  It is merely there to be fashioned to the caster's will."
2/2

Enough shenanigans, the both of you.

korakhos  Pacific Resolution: Norin flavor text, blue card, 0/10 Fogbank the enchantment but any creature in the game becomes a Fogbank.  I love it, though it's a little weird it's not an aura. Gets around hexproof/shroud/protection (I think) though. 9/10.

Bell continued to walk away.  As he did, Callie hopped off his shoulder and looked at the birdman sadly.  She just wanted to be friends.

Youthful Quirks 
Enchantment - Aura
Enchant creature
Whenever enchanted creature is blocked by a creature, ~ deals 1 damage to that creature.
"The sparkling eyes of youth fail to understand the discrimination of adults.  It is taught, not natural." - Zheysia, Loremaster

Bell whips around, glares at the bird once more, and picks up Callie.  He should beat him to an inch of his life.  He looked at Callie, and calmed down.  He had something to protect, now.

The streets, for some inexorable reason, seem to be busy even at this time of the evening. Bell's movement is limited as a throng of individuals, all of whom seems to be going in different directions seem to push him back. Eventually, he finds his way to the side of the tide of people, and finds someone to speak to.

"The Godhead lives at the top of the city," the woman spoke, pointing a structure that was situated, where else, at the peak of the city. "I do not believe she will see you at this time of night. But you are free to try, traveler."

Street Petitioner: Red Advisors sounds fun. I like it. 8/10

{Also we should probs move to my board since this is my territory.}

pacifistwestwoman (More below the card that's not in-game) Back to Basics: Card name's taken unfortunately (Back to Basics), but other than that, this feels like a heavy bend if not a break.  Usually black is the color that's allowed to remove counters, especially en masse like this.  But it's been done before apparently, in Medicine Runner.  Seems pretty powerful for just 3 mana though.  Something in me wants to say it'd be fine though. 7/10.
cajun kinda

The man did not look kindly at who he was talking to.  The smell, the wind... it was gone.  Good riddance to that at least.  "No." he says gruffly, taking a step forward.  "Now tell me, exactly what wind was that?" he says, eyes narrowed.  The young dragon on his shoulder watches Bell curiously. 

Fearsome Interrogator
Creature - Human Warrior
~ enters the battlefield with a -1/-1 counter on it.
, remove a counter from a nonland permanent you control: You draw a card and lose 2 life.
"He usually just introduces them to his whip.  Makes them feel a lot more talkative real quick." - Junior interrogator
5/4

Spoilers - 
to do a spoiler, whatever you want to be spoilered, put [ spoiler ]card[ /spoiler ] and that'll create one.  To name one, you can do [ spoiler=Name of spoiler ]card[ /spoiler ], but without the spaces at the beginning/end.  (at least I think - the top of the boards page has a formatting thread pinned you can check out too.)

Characters -
Our characters are our embodiment of our points/abilities.  So yeah, you should bring them everywhere!  This has been avoided before (see cajun/cyberchronometer a while back or neottolemo now), but typically it's supposed to be one character (or a pair, like Bell and Callie here).  When it is multiple different characters, usually they have some sort of importance/relevance.  So yeah, get your guy in here - let's see how he reacts to Bell's suspicion and anger :^)

Popcornia Overcrowded Streets: Comparing this to Languish, this feels pretty good.  The attacking restriction lowers it's "better-than" value, even though white usually punishes attackers but I can see it in black too.  Cycling feels a bit weird, but maybe that's just because cycling always feels weird to me at least.  I could see this being printed somewhere, maybe at , especially at .  9/10.

The man nods his thanks to the woman, before beginning to push his way through the many people on the streets.  Callie's claws dug into his shoulder to prevent her from falling off, and he grumbled to himself the whole way, but never wavering - he remained steadfast in his path and did not push nor allow himself to be pushed easily.  He made his way toward the Godhead's structure.  Of course the blasted woman had her own damn tower.  After pushing his way through the streets, he began to near the entrance.

Brute Force
Enchantment - Aura
Enchant creature
Enchanted creature gets +2/+2.
Whenever ~ would be put into the graveyard from the battlefield, you may pay . If you do, return it to your hand instead.
Sometimes, all it takes is a good shove and people seem to walk around you instead of into you.

(I agree - my vote is you give a little in-character blurb when you rate my card, but no attack, and I'll use that to attack your board.  Deal?)

The page is turned and a few sentinels pop out, wielding large oversized maces - definitely not knives you can stab people or dragons with. Are those the wards that protect the book, manifestations of the thing, or just fickle illusions? The page goes into explicit detail about how if illusory guardians pop out of a book, as tempting as it may be, you should - the text is in bloody red bold - NEVER - use a disenchantment spell, as doing so may have unintended consequences. The book could be lying, but why would it?

Reckless Curiosity: A bit too swingy for me - I'd allow this to either hit players or scry in advance or maybe exile top two then deal damage equal to the greatest CMC among cards exiled this way. Mostly because impulse effects that cost that much are awk IMO. 7/10

Mysterious Sentinel Dispatch  
Enchantment  
When CARDNAME enters the battlefield, create three 2/2 green Spirit Knight creature tokens and exile the top three cards of your library.
Whenever a Spirit Knight you control dies, you may reveal a card exiled with CARDNAME. If it's a permanent card, put it in your hand. Otherwise, you gain 3 life.

"You are not bad either. If you really want to discover how good I am feel free to search for meow." Michi pets Callie and the cats leave. In their way home, they both share their impressions about Bell and Callie. "I like them. But I think the meown is hiding something dark." "You think everyone is hiding something dark, brother. He seemed nice and the dragon was cute." "Yeah, I agree, the dragon was cute."p

Forbidden Blade is cool. The nod to Forbidden Orchard makes it VERY cool. 10/10

Fleur  Mysterious Sentinel Dispatch: Very weird enchantment.  I kinda like it though.  9/10.

Bell drops the book and stands back, sword at the ready in a flash as the sentinels appear, standing in the doorway.  He glances around and takes the time to look at the book - never use disenchantment spells - before keeping his eyes on the sentinels.  "I understand the pain of imprisonment.  But whatever you're doing is not helping your case." he says sternly, and at this point Callie is starting to get curious from inside.  "Stay.  Back." he says to everyone on either side of him.

Spellblade
Artifact - Equipment
: Equipped creature gains trample until end of turn. 
: Whenever equipped creature deals combat damage to a player this turn, destroy target artifact or enchantment that player controls.
Equipped creature gets +1/+1.
Equip

I figure I'm always gonna get a 7 at most from you so it's where I do my weird designs now

gurfafflekins

The godhead, at least to Bell, would seem to have chosen a location appropriate to their supposed tyranny. Situated far above the rest of the city, it was impossible not to see the Godhead's residence of choice. Her imagery was hung from almost every possible corner, and Bell would notice more than one guard, seen or unseen to the masses, that was keeping their eyes on him. 

He was not stopped in his journey however, and managed to walk directly to the staircase prior to the main entrance. His only obstacle now, it seemed...

was the sphinx that was staring him down from in front of the door.

Brute Force: Neat. Seems fine. 8/10
