I noticed a puddle of water coming under the door. Strange - it wasn't raining. I sighed and grabbed a mop - last time this happened, the wood by the entrance warped.
...
You see a small woman - clearly undead to your heightened senses - trying to mop you up. The rest of the cottage seems rather neat.Warpwood Haltija -    Creature - Spirit  Hexproof Whenever a creature would deal combat damage to you, you may prevent that damage. If you do, Warpwood Haltija fights that creature. 1/4 Become Liquid... when I first read this, I missed the first line and thought that this was horrendously pushed. As it stands, it seems to be pretty fair. A 9/10.
Hyle restores her solid physical form and smacks the broom away, raising from the puddle in an attempt to use the surprise effect and her slightly larger size to pin the woman's wrists down to the nearbiest flat surface. Whether the attempt fails or succeeds, she will try to introduce herself later and ask: "I am Hyle Seritani. Are you Hanska Myemii?"
Immobilise  Instant Tap target creature or planeswalker. Its activated abilities can't be activated this turn. Draw a card.
Note: Hyle usually has two legs when materialising on land.
far more annoying when she tried to pin me to the ground. I gripped her wrists right back and used them to slam her against the nearest wall. Then I dropped the winded mermaid.
"You know, it's rude to enter someone's home without being invited. Next time, just knock. Would you like any tea?"...Hanska nods. "Yes, I'm Hanska Myemii. Do you normally invade people's privacy, Hyle?"Lady of Scales - Creature - Human Druid  : Add . Whenever Lady of Scales becomes tapped, target creature you control gets +1/+1 and trample until end of turn. 1/1 Immobilize is simply gorgeous. It's kinda weird that you're tapping a planeswalker, but that's forgivable. A 9/10. |

"No tea, thanks", she answers, ignoring the other question. "Glad you can talk, might not have to kill you. There's other undead in here. All independent like you? Who made you like this?" Ice suddenly forms on the cottage floor, and Hyle uses it to attempt to encage Hanska's body (sans head, she'd need to hear the answers to her questions, after all) with a spell.
Hyle Seritani spent 1 point to gain Enchantment Mastery!
Enchantment  Whenever a creature an opponent controls becomes tapped, it doesn't untap during its controller's next untap step.
Lady of Scales: Missing a "gains" before trample, but I like this take on creature who tap for mana. 10/10

Then I died.
...
Suddenly, Hanska's voice comes from near the window. "Honestly, though, is this normal behavior where you're from? Or are you just especially bigoted?" A small calico cat stretches on the windowsill - to your enhanced senses, there are two undead beings there.
"Whatever happened to manners?"Bedchamber Cat - Creature - Cat Tapped creatures you control have hexproof. At the beginning of your upkeep, put a +1/+1 counter on each tapped creature you control. 1/2 Gelid Prison is a nice enchantments. It is, however, overcosted. I could see the same effect at, say, . It also weirds me out that it's really hard to play it with the other tap color ( ). A 7/10. |

"I'm not sure why you're doing spooky stuff. To tell you the truth... I'm curious, but I don't care all that much. Hanska having a rumbly tummy? That's a bit more immediate."
"Sure, sure. I can prepare something. Should only take a m-moment." I was sweating, but I was in control. No throats were going to be torn out today, that's for certai- oh fuck I just smelled the addiction in Rolt's blood. That's the good stuff. I h- right. Right. Mei. Tasty little Mei needed help. A little nip, and... pull yourself together, Hanska!"How does your host feel about being a blood donor?"...Moments later, Hanska hands over a small cup of tea - much more bitter than her normal concoctions, for some reason. It does do the trick, though. Rolt notices that Hanska is making eyes at him while she's bandaging Mei - maybe venom-dame has changed her tune?Hanska, Saint of the Lost -   Legendary Creature - Vampire Cleric Whenever an opponent discards a card, you gain 2 life. Whenever you discard a land card, you may pay . If you do, put it onto the battlefield tapped instead. 2/2 Hurried Request could be mono-red.

That being said, I'm a fan of draw-milling people, so I'm going to bump you up a touch to a 9/10. |

Lady Mapi (gonna start @ing people now whilst attacking - probably a good thing to do.) To be dismissed as an inconvenience... you wound Us, animal. The venom-dame was a good a bones as any, even while shaking and sweating like a loon. I keep my eyes on something else, pretending not to notice the oogling. And Vivien says I don't have any charisma left. "Tell you what bones, you're a mighty good doctor. Keep it up and someone might even look at you the way you're sizing me up right now." I said, taking a seat.Your undead's hunger is of no matter to Us. The detective's passing would be an inconvenience, at most."Now, when you're done with that, I'm finally here to ask those questions about Sunspear. Hopefully no kids show up this time - pains in my ass." I muttered, looking around.
And him? Our host? We need no host, feline. For We are powerful.Impose Enchantment Creatures you control have haste. Whenever a creature attacks you or a planeswalker you control, it gets -1/-0 until end of turn. Thankfully We have learned how to manipulate the mana to interact with this plane despite that contraption..."Thanks, kid," Mei says as she downs the cup. "You're a lifesaver." Her breathing slowly returns to normal. After a few moments and a number of glances at Hanska, she pulls out... nothing and flips her thumb over the empty space. She winces as the interdiction ends, but doesn't say anything else for now. Thank Gods, I could feel my mana returning. I made a mental note again to not let Haloster get his hands on one of those.
Hanska, Saint of the Lost: If there was a time for a white vampire, I feel like it'd be now. Probably , upon further reflection. As is though, seems fine. Land ability feels a wee bit weird though. 9/10.

A few moments pass in silence before Chrysoplei blinks and notices the fact no-one seems to be saying anything. "Was I supposed to have heard something? If so, I'm assuming telepathy. That tends not to work on me I'm afraid." Mind-Blanked Magus Creature - Human Wizard Opponents can't look at your hand and your hand can't be revealed. If a spell or ability would cause one or more cards in your hand to be revealed, counter that spell or ability. 1/3
World-Forest Dryad - Cross between Banisher Priest and Song of the Dryads. I personally like it quite a bit. Could perhaps have slightly better stats for the cost, potentially. 8/10 |

Whenever a creature becomes untapped, its controller loses 1 life. 2/1 Impose is a solid design - it makes me wonder a bit as to what kind of deck it'd slot into (one ability is super aggressive, the other is super defensive), but that's not really a knock against it as such.

Lady Mapi Of course doc. Gotta make sure the demon stays in my head after all.A laughing noise You are correct. We do not have our full power.Weird how the dame got her act back together so quickly. I'd have to look into that some more. Despite my raging good looks and attractive personality, I doubt she was dizzy with me. "Yeah, sure. Can't tell you too much though if it's about any of my cases. Confidential." I took out my notepad and a pen.But that does not mean We are not powerful yet. And as for her... as I said, his death would be a setback."Now, about the Sunspear... what can you tell me about how he died?" Might as well start with the obvious question.
---Mei sits there - she'll probably stay unless asked to move, but also won't say anything. Feels weird the detective would ask information with someone present considering how he reacted last time. To make an omelette, one must crack eggs, you see?Detective's Pen Artifact - Clue  , sacrifice ~: Shuffle your graveyard into your library. , sacrifice ~: Draw a card. "Always have spares."
And We do enjoy cracking eggs.Lady of Starvation: Feels alright. Second clause feels preeeetty good though. 9/10.

And then I didn't, because the things I was coming up with were unplayable gimmick cards. It hoses Chimney Imp, (some) discard, and memoricide effects, I guess? Still way too narrow, though. 6/10 |

When I got here there was a dead man. I'm an investigator. I wanted to see how it happened, and if I could prevent any more deaths." I said, finally stopping the scribbling. I turned to the next page in my notebook."On that topic... how would you say your healing magic works?"

She feasts on pains that never existed.1/3 Snap is a pretty solid card - punish those meanies that are swinging at your face, eh? It's a bit too strong, though - the trigger is much easier to hit than Galvanic Blast's or Shivan Fire's. As a result... 7/10. Now, if you'll excuse me, I have a signature to update... |

Lady Mapi I shook my head. "You... you didn't know. It's not a problem." I said, still rubbing my head from the pain. "Just don't do it again and we're in the clear." I explained, hurriedly taking a flask from my coat pocket and chugging the whole thing.Haloster wins."Listen, you've been a great help. Now we can lay that soldier to rest. I'm told there's to be a funeral of some sort, supposedly today. Should be near where he resided." I said, nodding and taking my leave. Though as I left... hmm. I wonder how well toxins kept your mind at ease... I would most definitely have to see venom-dame again.Moonheart Priestess: Feels meh, also still dies to the revenge mode of Snap. Affecting combat like this is neat though. 8/10. Rolt's left with 1 infect counter.

"Everything leaves a record in rust. You just have to be able to read it."2/2 Mindrip is a vicious, vicious counter... that feels pretty OK, all things considered. Fairly costed and everything.

Of course. I've been waiting :3c "Rest up a little more, Mei. Silver is nasty stuff - I'd give you a bit more help recovering, but I sadly can't transfer my personal immunity."

Mei leans back and closes her eyes. She seems to be breathing easier now that Skylar and his friends are gone.
Mei has two poison counters. She doesn't know what to do with them, but thinks they look cute together.
Vicar of Corrosion - hrm, pretty narrow effect in the best of cases, randomly decks you in the worst of cases, like cascade, or Mindrip there, since you'll never fulfill the 'exile an X card' condition. 5/10 (also should be "If" not "When" to be a replacement effect) edit: was pointed out is a may so you don't accidentally die, pretty easy source of intentional decking still tho. also that last line looks more meta than i intended but too late it's staying |

As night falls a few days after Mei's incident, a cold wind blows by Hanska's cottage. The air grows colder as a blonde woman in a long blue dresses approaches Hanska and looks her over. Then, she turns to the snake. "Hello there, I am Inspector Aevia Glais, investigating the theft of some quite dangerous artifacts. I understand that you and your..." she glances back to Hanska, "friend here have had the displeasure of the company of one of the suspects, a woman named Mei Liva?"Cold Start Instant Gain control of target tapped permanent until end of turn.

"Unfortunately, he's unable to speak to you unless you're dying, dead, or heavily poisoned. I will be happy to tell you what you need to know, though. But first... would you like any tea?"(Skipping past her response to that in the interest of saving time - I'm assuming Ms. Ice Queen doesn't partake, but you can surprise me if you so please.) "I've encountered Mei Liva twice. The first time, she came to me out of interest in a cure for a curse. I gave her a charm to protect against fire and sunlight - she was a vampire at that point in time. Ylki says that she also had something big in her head, which seemed to have some measure of control over her."
"The second time I met her, she was human, and had a silver bullet lodged into her head. However, due to the circumstances, I couldn't get a very accurate read on her vitals, and Ylki was blocked from sensing her mental passenger. After that, she left after promising me a favor - and, no, I don't know her current location." I neglected to mention how distracted I was by the smell of Rolt's blood."Any other questions on the topic?"---Hanska finishes up her story. She looks expectant.Lady of Loyalty - Creature - Vampire Cleric Players cannot gain control of permanents they don't own. "My servants know their places."2/2 Cold Start is broken. You took Word of Seizing, dropped the rarity and Split Second, then gave it an inconsequential hoop to jump through in exchange for dropping it from CMC 5 to CMC 2. and want very different things out of this effect, so the lack of haste doesn't even really matter - control decks are going to be using this to 2-for-1 attacking creatures or borrow solid artifacts or lands. I can't, in good conscience, give this higher than a 6/10. |

I will be happy to tell you what you need to know, though. But first... would you like any tea?" The inspector gave a light smile. "We're all dying dear, some of us just quicker than others." She follows Hanska inside. "I'd love some, if you don't mind that I can't drink it..."// The tea in the inspector's cup freezes solid as she takes it. As she moves to take a drink, the ice breaks and shards fall into her mouth."Well, it seems leaving without saying goodbye is her MO," the inspector murmurs. "Though you're the first to have seen her twice, it seems."
"She does indeed have quite the monster in her head. I imagine I'd be hunting her for the crimes it's had her do as well if there were anyone left alive to press charges," she said, keeping an eye on the snake. "Sounds like she's taking steps to loosen its grip...""Now, I admit, this might seem a bit ghastly, but do you think you could turn in that favor? I only know of two people who know how to contact Liva, and they'd both have me dead as soon as look at me. You, however, could reach them. Could bring her here..."
"It'll all be worth your while, of course. On top of whatever you call her to do."(Guest System) Tempt with Treachery Sorcery Choose target nonland permanent. Its controller may sacrifice it. If they do, that player draws two cards. Otherwise, draw two cards. "Silver in your pocket and one less pain in the neck to deal with. Honestly, you should be paying me."--- The inspector has two poison counters. She doesn't know what to do with them, but she assumes they're conspiring against her.
(will be counting the counter just not the Valor cause want her black and don't want to buy it for Karina :b) mang being an attacks only character with cmc2 is rough Lady of Loyalty - pretty nifty. 10/10 |

Hyle Seritani spent 1 point to gain Enchantment Mastery!
Enchantment Whenever a creature an opponent controls becomes tapped, it doesn't untap during its controller's next untap step.
Lady of Scales: Missing a "gains" before trample, but I like this take on creature who tap for mana. 10/10
Then I died.
...
Suddenly, Hanska's voice comes from near the window. "Honestly, though, is this normal behavior where you're from? Or are you just especially bigoted?" A small calico cat stretches on the windowsill - to your enhanced senses, there are two undead beings there.
"Whatever happened to manners?"Bedchamber Cat - Creature - Cat Tapped creatures you control have hexproof. At the beginning of your upkeep, put a +1/+1 counter on each tapped creature you control. 1/2 Gelid Prison is a nice enchantments. It is, however, overcosted. I could see the same effect at, say, . It also weirds me out that it's really hard to play it with the other tap color ( ). A 7/10. Five years later... Gelid Prison doesn't require you to be the one that taps the creatures. Not sure I get the commentary.
Bedchamber Cat: I honestly think this might be a bit overly pushed. The two effects seem like they might synergise too much with one another. Yes, the starting body is weak, but I don't know if that's enough to counterbalance it. 6/10
Hyle doesn't even notice that Hanska died, and turns immediately to the cat. "More of you, and you can switch between bodies or something. No matter. Bigoted?" Hyle chuckles. "I don't want to kill you, I want to talk." She raises one hand. "Just taking precautions. I'd prefer you stayed still. I can't control a soul. I'll just have to trap all of your bodies."
Frost Giant's Touch Instant Tap target creature with power 3 or less and gain control of it until the beginning of its controller's next end step. Draw a card.

My commentary on Gelid Prison mostly refers to the mana cost - is kinda hard to cast if you're running multicolor - and that's the kind of enchantment a tapdown deck would love to have. Oh, and my Commander says that casting noncreature spells give you a Poison counter apiece - if you don't want to record that out-of-game, that's fine by me. "Look, lady, if you wanted to talk, you could have done it like a normal person. From my perspective, you just broke into my home and tried to take me prisoner - not exactly neighborly, yes?"
I focused a little and converted the traces of Hyle's last meal into a powerful sedative.
"I also don't want to kill you. Please remember that when you wake up."

You start feeling incredibly tired for some reason. A little nap would feel just wonderful .Toxic Dreamspinner - Creature - Vampire Shaman Lifelink When Toxic Dreamspinner enters the battlefield, target player gains a poison counter. Creatures your opponent's control cannot attack or block unless their controller pays for each poison counter they have. 3/3 Frost Giant's Touch is definitely undercosted (not as much as Cold Start, but still) - it'd be fair if you dropped the card draw, honestly. The thing that amuses me is that you're not going to get much benefit from stealing Bedchamber Cat in particular - regardless of when you nab it, you're probably not going to have a tapped critters at the start of your upkeep, and I get it back before my own upkeep - so I'm going to dock a point for that, for a final total of 7/10. --- cajun - I'll get to you when I figure out an appropriate response. |

"I'd love to help you, but she didn't give me any way to contact her. She did mention a 'Reyhs', and I'm pretty sure she knows Karina Oblay, who I've had some dealings with..."I thought about it a moment."I seem to recall something about her going off-plane. I'm going to be leaving myself pretty soon - I can give you a way to get in touch with me, in case I run into her again. I'm sorry, but I think it's the best I can do."
"Reyhsia, with the Seventh Circle, is one of the two I mentioned that can reach her, as well as that odd elf that runs the bakery. I'm sure either would be happy to help you, as long as they know I'm not involved." She closes her hand, then reopens it, revealing a short ice cone. "As for contact, this shall suffice on the Arena. It shouldn't melt during the day, but throw it on your kettle there, and I'll know to turn up."
// She gently sets the cone down. If Hanska or her friends inspect it, they will find it is simple ice."Now this Oblay... I have not heard of her yet. Perhaps I should be speaking with her next. Is she of any relation to your lovely lawn ornament?"Inspector's Shard Artifact When Inspector's Shard enters the battlefield, scry 1. , , Sacrifice Inspector's Shard: Choose any number of permanents and/or players that have a counter, then give each one additional counter of each kind that permanent or player already has. You gain 1 life for each counter given this way. (The inspector chooses herself, and offers one to Hanska if she wants it.) ---
The inspector has four poison counters. She doesn't know what to do with them, but she wants to see what they'll do if they're left alone.
Broken-Branch Haltija - now that's a nice arcun, and the symmetry on the trigger is sonice. 10/10 |

"Yes, I suspected she may not have. I believe she's plotting something on the Arena, she's been coming and going quite frequently from what I've heard."

Reclamation Dryad - Creature - Dryad Druid : Add . Whenever an artifact is put into a graveyard from the battlefield, you may untap Reclamation Dryad. 1/1 Inspector's Shard is a cool card (I slay myself). On the one hand, it should have proliferate... but it's more or less fine (but I'm pretty sure that's just" , , Sacrifice Inspector's Shard: Proliferate, then gain 1 life for each counter added this way"). I'd say that an 8/10 seems fair? |

"Not by blood - apparently she just respected this Kirino woman so much that she adopted her... or something to that effect. She does seem to be Reyhsia's ward... but she does spend an awful lot of time wandering around the plane. If you see a little girl with a spear that's much too big for her, that's her."I picked up the cone and nodded."I wish you the best of luck in your search." she says as she stands. "And do be careful if you run into her again. The god in her head's not as gentle as the one in yours."
Reclamation Dryad - iunno what to do with this but the flavor's solid. 9/10
