<BB> Amechra's Battleboard [Alina Makyavonavich]

"And I was just starting on my salad. Honestly, some people."

Severing Burst 
Instant -
Severing Burst deals 2 damage to target creature. When that creature dies this turn, add .
A bond broken, a flood of power.

Lava Leash isn't rare enough. Manlands have never shown up below uncommon - they dodge sorcery-speed creature removal, among other things. It looks like it would be a fair uncommon, though. I give it a 7/10.

A young woman with purple hair in her twenties approaches with a confident stride and a smug smile on her face. Some stone chunks and floating around her.
"My name's Aylin and I have to say I can't really disagree with your motto... I see you're earning some attention from these... fools" she says, staring at Janika as she preaches "In fact, you might be the only one around here worthy of my attention. Show me what you got!"
The stones hovering around Aylin suddenly amass, forming a humanoid.

Raging Cliff
Land - Mountain
(: Add .)
~ enters the battlefield tapped.
: ~ becomes a 4/3 Elemental creature with trample until end of turn. It's still a land.

sylphiod - Thanks!

@khorakos
"Why thank you, Aylin! You seem like my kind of person - you'll have to teach me that beautiful trick when we get a chance."

Blushing Praise -
Enchantment - Aura
Enchant creature.
Enchanted creature has +2/+0.
Whenever enchanted creature deals combat damage to a player, you may untap a Mountain you control.
"I've never seen anything like you before."

Raging Cliff looks pretty fair - my only concern would be tutoring it out with stuff that pulls cards with basic land types from your library. 8/10

cyberchronometer and fluffydeathbringer
"You know, you burn down ONE plane and people think you've got a pattern going. I'd be insulted if it was coming from anyone who was less eag- DON'T YOU TOUCH MY FUCKING SALAD, YOU GODDAMN RODENT!"

Cowing Outburst -
Enchantment - Aura
Enchant creature
When Cowing Rage enters the battlefield, you may deal 3 damage to any target.
Enchanted creature is a Coward in addition to its other types and cannot attack you.
Like bumping into a drill sergeant with a tooth ache.

The slight woman brushes herself off and brings the sparks in her eyes under control. "I'm sorry I snapped at you, Mr. Bunny. I've really been waiting for this salad."

Devious Lapine is wonderful and I want it in my Gruul "overwhelming charge" deck. I can't find anything to complain about here. A 10/10, if you weren't a guest.
Janika, Hightown Enforcer looks like a fun design - she slots right into quite a few white decks. My one concern would be the repeatable Path, combined with churning out some 0/2's - I can see her being a bit of a nightmare with the right setup. 9/10

"I've delivered my message. We have no further business unless you decide we do. And as for you, Aylin, I suspect I'll be seeing you around."

Cowing Outburst: Red can't stop attacks, unfortunately. If this said "can't block" I'd like it. As is, 6/10.

"You know," announces Obris, "I've been thinking about what you said earlier, and perhaps we ought to talk a little more. You claim nobility, but I know little of your line or your realm. Tell me of it."

Wood or Weald
Sorcery
Reveal cards from the top of your library until you reveal three land cards, then put all nonland cards revealed this way on the bottom of your library in a random order. An opponent separates the land cards revealed this way into two piles. Put each card in one pile onto the battlefield tapped and the other into your graveyard.

Casstastrophe :

"You know, it's funny that you'd blame me for not caring about people. Do you understand the people in your charge? Their hopes and dreams? Their loves, their hates, the little things that make them more than just drudges? If you'd care to stay awhile and listen, I can tell you why Agahest burned."

She pauses for a moment then turns to Annik.

"You know, she'll take you back in if you go home. No need to punish yourself for it."

Homesickness 
Enchantment - Aura
Enchant creature
At the beginning of your upkeep, the enchanted creature's owner may return it to their hand.
At the beginning of your end step, the enchanted creature deals 1 damage to its controller.
There is no place like home.

Annik Trav is a Renegade Wheelsmith that traded +1/+0, being red, and triggering its ability on any tap... with granting Vigilance to vehicles and being slightly easier to cast. I'm leaning towards that being a losing trade - a point of power can be the difference between tapping one creature to crew a vehicle or having to tap two. And Vigilance is, unfortunately, not very good for Vehicles, since you'll need to tap creatures to let them block as well. As a result, I don't feel like I can give you more than a 6/10 - sorry.

shiftyhomunculus :

"Ah. Yes. The Oblays were one of the ruling houses of Agahia, mostly spitting out vintner-princes (wine was our lifeline, you see) and hieromancers. I am, as you can see, neither. I came into my power as a trembling young lady in the flower of my youth, all demure and proper. One day, I saw one of my house-servants look at me and I knew exactly how he felt about me. I told my father, and he ran the boy through. I felt my father's contempt like salt on my tongue." She frowns at the memory.

"I kept getting bits and pieces as days and weeks stretched on. I could feel the hateful fear of the peasantry and the fearful contempt of my fellows. I started to notice how the society I was born into ground everyone down bit by bit, day by day. No one was safe - the lowest peasant and the highest judge had to ride the same bucking horse, unless they wanted to be trampled. I saw some people like that, you know - they gave up, and they died for it."

"I was betrothed to a judge twice my age, and it was the custom to let the bride and groom each give a small speech to the assembled crowd before taking their vows - weddings were one of the few places that everyone mingled outside their station. When it was my turn to speak, I opened my mouth to speak but nothing but sparks came out." She closes her eyes and chuckles. "The riot broke out as soon as everyone realized what I'd given them. By the time I left, that riot had grown into all-out war. I had given them a gift, my handsome Rook - I made them realize how broken the system was. It isn't my fault that they couldn't handle that truth."

Tenuous Reach -
Instant
Tenuous Reach deals X damage to target player, where X is the number of lands that entered the battlefield under that player's control this turn. Then that player sacrifices a land if X is 3 or greater.

Wood or Weald is a really nice Gifts Ungiven-style card. Most of the time, you're going to be getting two lands out of it, which is an appropriate amount of ramp for 4 mana. Although you can "tutor" out nonbasics with it, that's balanced out by the fact that you don't control which lands you get. A 9/10 - good job.

"Oh, how the mighty have fallen- but that's well and good, they say!" says the jester as she bites into an apple from atop a wall nearby the empath. "What's the world without some chaos, like me?"

SILVER BORDER
Insurance Agent
Creature - Human Jester
Fear
Whenever an opponent casts a red enchantment, a blue creature, a green artifact, or a white planeswalker spell, you may roll a six-sided die.  If you do, put X -1/-1 counters on target creature where X is equal to the result.
"Sorry, we don't cover that."
2/3

"'Rules are for children'? I don't know your age, but you act like a child and must therefore be contained like one."

Understaffed Jail
Enchantment
Tap two untapped creatures you control: Target creature can't attack or block this turn. Activate this ability only once per turn.
Fuiville's guard consists of the town cobbler, three schoolteachers, a fletcher, and his pet goat.

"The crown is not and never was the authority. That is the loyalty of the people. I've always been their guardian first, and the title hindered me so I stepped down.

Radical Freedom - I see no reason for this to be rare, and it seems a bit weak. 8/10

Common Passions: There's got to be a way to break this, but I'm not sure how. I think that's a good thing on the whole, getting people to flex their Johnny muscles, and it's costly enough to be Fair Magic (tm). Reminds me a bit of Goblin Warchief, but without a body and (of course) without tribal restrictions. I could see this in Commander mostly, though I'm not sure what deck it would fit in. 8/10.

"Oblay. Would you happen to perhaps know anything about children who are much more mature than they appear to be? I've been looking into this case of a rather strange child, and thought that you'd be relatively proficient in the ethos-based study of emotional psychology." He omits the fact that he knows this because of her file in the criminal record. Despite her status as a wanted criminal, Lumen figures that the lack of evidence in that case means he's better off tackling a few other cases...

Examine Outbursts
Instant
Investigate.
Until end of turn, whenever an player casts a spell that isn't the first spell that player cast this turn, investigate.

This looks strong, but I think the end of turn ability mostly just profits off of spell chains and will mostly net at most one or two cards.

"Hi, Kirino" approaches Aylin visibly bummed "There's not much going on in my life except, you know, Rekal trying to kill me, but stuff is beginning to get boring. I trust your criteria, is there anybody around here worth my time? Someone I can poke past the breaking point? Someone I can face in an epic encounter?"

Stir Things Up 
Sorcery
Each player shuffles their library, then exiles the top five cards. Each player then chooses a nonland card at random exiled this way. Until end of turn, each player may play a card they own chosen this way without paying its mana cost.

well Korakhos, I think she's about to get her wish.

The tour of 7CI had been a lot of work on the host and a lot of information for Okus to parse without being able to soak in it like a mind. When Rettai had offered them a break, it couldn't refuse. It needed some time to collect all these thoughts.

All those thoughts crashed when they met Rettai's acquaintance.

Derailed Thoughts
Enchantment
Whenever a spell or ability counters another spell or ability, target player loses 2 life and you gain 2 life.
"Oh I just had it, it was on the tip of your tongue."

Okus is assisting a defense, for possibly its biggest enemy on the Arena, against itself.
You should know this is the strangest thing I've ever done.
