pacifistwestwoman Nicholai carefully pours a half-vial of blood into a bowl, slowly adding other components as he goes - a pinch of cinnamon, a withered rose, the fur of a well-loved dog - and watches as the half-devil blood reacts, it swirls and stays a little more viscous, before igniting in the wooden bowl. Nicholai watches it intently, staring at the burning flame, as the flame dances from trademark orange, to a deep red, to a fiendish purple. He grins at it, then tilts the bowl back, drinking deeply, the flames sliding down his throat. He swallows hard. "Can never get used to cinnamon..." he says, shaking his head. Wonderful.Nicholai has unlocked Spectacle!Congratulations, half-devil. You are now a part of me.

Neottolemo The Worst Is Yet To Come: Fact or Fiction that requires a team's agreement. Super neat card, and I believe if they tie you get both piles so it usually requires total cooperation. Excellent Archenemy card. 10/10. Also, whaddya know, you can exile heroes! Learn something new everyday. You call yourselves "heroes" and barely show yourselves? Pathetic. Insolent fools. Dok of the Council  Legendary Planeswalker - Dok  While voting, you may vote an additional time.  : Draw a card and gain 1 life.  : Each opponent loses 1 life and you gain 1 life for each life lost this way.  : Starting with you, each player votes for extortion or filibuster. Each player who votes extortion loses half their life, rounded up, and you gain life equal to the amount of life lost this way. For each filibuster vote, take an extra turn after this one.  {Static, +1, 0, -6, 2} Not super sure of the logistics of the -6 not super cooperating with the static. But, I don't play this game for points anymore. They cooperate well enough, the static basically get you two extra turns by default when you -6. I like this. Second ability might afford to be a +1 as well, though I'm uncertain about that. The ult is scary but the low starting loyalty and density seem to balance it. Flavour's nice. 9/10 |

A centaur, bearing a staff, seems to appear from behind some nearby trees, looking in interest at the wizard and their assortment of trinkets. They pawed a hoof at the ground, simply observing the odd wizard for the moment. {Attack Card - Keva Wayfinder}  |

Popcornia Keva Wayfinder: Sure. 8/10. The wizard is polishing his staff, the large blue crystal on top shining. He eyes the centaur warily, all the while still cleaning. "Hello there! Interested in a bauble or two? I'm sure I've got just the thing for you!"Instill Fear  Sorcery  Spectacle  (You may cast this spell for its spectacle cost rather than its mana cost if an opponent lost life this turn.)Put two -1/-1 counters on target creature.

gurfafflekins "Screeyah!" Appearing from nowhere, a goblin riding a boar charged towards the wizards, one arm reaching out towards any loose goods the wizard had on display. The centaur squinted, before charging as well, approaching from an alternate angle from their apparent accomplice. This was a robbery, it seemed. {Response Card - Rampaging Decoy}

Popcornia Rampaging Decoy: This effect is historically ( Spellskite being the major one) but I think this is a fine bend for  ( Bolt Bend), and a pretty hefty bend, leaning towards break for  though. On mobile but, just realized I did a dumb and this effect is more in red than I remembered and pretty green. Still, green stuff is still more “can’t be countered” and such, but still. 7.5/10.The wizard just smirked. His eyes turned a brilliant white, and he lifted his hands up. From them, orange chains of energy appeared, shooting towards each thief, the chains wrapping around their bodies. They'd notice that the chains also had small spikes - not enough for significant damage, but they would certainly bleed .Ethereal Chains Enchantment  Flash When ~ enters the battlefield, prevent all combat damage that would be dealt by creatures this turn, then tap all attacking creatures.

Then the world shifts.Everything seems to be thrown off kilter, just a touch from the way it should be.Something is wrong. Or it is horribly right.As a flash of red light streaks through the air, it smashes into the creatures, who are unfazed by the chains as they charge right through them. This... This is bad.Unstoppable Fury Instant Damage can't be prevented this turn. Creatures you control get +1/+0 and trample until end of turn. You mock my rage? Then die, fool.

World Step Instant Exile target creature, then return it to the battlefield under its owner's control. Draw a card. To walk the Wolrdbarriers, even just a step, is a daunting task.
A rift appeared in the air, a black-cloaked man stumbling out of it. As it closed behind him, he shook his head and dusted himself off. "That went better than expected. Where am --" Then he paused and saw the man before him. Drawing a dual-headed scythe, he raised a hand in suspicious greeting. "Hail, stranger! Who goes there?" |

@jamesbrafin World Step: Displace but replace a creature bounce with a draw. Seems alright, not super sure how it feels flickering opponent's creatures too, but probably fine. 8/10. Nicholai turned from rearranging his jewelry on his stall and cleaning off the counter, facing the man from a rift. An easy target! "Ah, hello! And welcome. I am Nicholai, a humbled merchant - and you, my friend, look like you could use a brighter color palette!" he says, gesturing at his wares of all colors and shapes.

Trinket Replenishment: I absolutely love this. The only thing is the activation might be a little cheap, but that's made up for by not doing creatures. 10/10 Merrith looked at the man , a low chuckle forming in his throat. "This thing? It's saved my life more times than I can count. Created by my own hands, too. But If you have the things I need, I might be buying. I have trinkets of my own to trade with." The blade stays drawn as he approaches, but the man seems slightly more at ease. "Do you have anything from The Betweens, by any chance? Something fused with its power could be very useful to me."

"...I grow weary of this plane. Business has been dead, and overall, it's been a major loss." Nicholai mumbles to himself, packing up his stall. "It's probably best to set up shop somewhere a little more lenient." he says, and with that, his trinkets and him vanish without a trace.
---
Soon, a new planeswalker enters the arena. Armed with a spear, she looks around. "A place to test my strength, the crazy detective said. Well, it's as good a place as any." she says, and begins to walk.
Hilda has entered the arena!
@jamesbrafin - I realize I denied you some points for a while - my bad. Blindstone: Seems fine. 8/10.

cajun (Psst, hey, go ahead and add 9/10 to One's score for Shock Block) Cruel Joke: I like this. 10/10. Solid prowl design, useful even without faeries. Hilda looks at the faeries, her mind flashing back to when she had two arms, and the mocking stares and laughs. She shook her head clear of the memory. The spear slung across her back, a flame sparks to life in her hand. "Typical faeries. Too cowardly to play fair." she says, smirking.Outcast Scavenger Creature - Human Rogue Haste Whenever you discard a card, you may pay . If you do, draw a card.

cajun Grass Knot: I like it. 9/10. The pyromancer didn't give chase, but also didn't seem to do anything about the grass around her foot. Perhaps she didn't notice it? She watched the one approach her, tossing the flame behind her, setting the grass behind her aflame. It snapped and licked at her heels but didn't spread far. "You faeries need help switching out a baby for a changeling? Maybe casting some sort of jealousy spell?" she asked mockingly.Pacify Instant Prevent all damage that would be dealt to and dealt by target creature this turn. Draw a card.

test Honorable Duel: This is interesting. Symmetrical draw, usable in team matches, probably mostly used just for the fight but if you can bounce them off each other to draw it's a functional mode. I think I want to give an 8.5 but I don't do those so 9/10. Whatever ones she doesn't block aren't particularly painful - hard enough for her to register she's hit, but other than that, Hilda holds back. She's hard of listening as she judges what she can do, but catches the gist of it. As Lettie blocks a small hit, she speaks. "To tell you the truth, I might be out of my element here. All I've seen on this plane are fae and these creatures that are made of metal, and you could poison me real easy if you wanted. Meanwhile I wield a spear and flames." she explains, laughing about it, landing a light hit against Lettie's shoulder. As she draws back from her swing, Lettie's slow swing is blocked, but only just. Hilda cracks a grin. "Ah, that was a good swing!" she says, motioning for them both to stop the exercise for a moment after a few more exchanges. "Yes, play duels aren't exactly like real fighting. Or, my version of real fighting. My version includes using any and all tricks available to me - no such thing as 'playing dirty'." she says, stepping forward and clapping a hand on Lettie's shoulder. "But hey, for someone who's never fought with a weapon like a branch, that was pretty good! You're right, of course, that it would be a struggle for you without any potions. But you haven't even started training yet at all, after all this was just me judging your reflexes and abilities. Say, you want some more close quarters lessons sometime?" she asks, eyes sparkling, almost like an excited puppy.Cloud Bank Creature - Wall Prevent all noncombat damage that would be dealt to ~. 0/3
