<BB> CyberChronometer Battle Board [Wind-Whispering Raz]

Rixos realizes that things may be a bit more complicated than what he thought they would be and tries to move closer to the people he knows. Also, the agents of the 7CI seem to be concerned about him and he doesn't know why. Waiting will  be the best for him.

Frode, the Sentinel: Seems okay for a two abilitiy planeswalker, but I don't see the second being that useful. Anyways, I think it's pretty balanced and works. 8/10

So, Karina was crying, Hanah was making something with vials and Aiden seemed to be healing Reysha. Rixos looked at her. Even though she looked so... weak. Rixos approached her, unnoticed among the crowd. He kneeled and touched her. He could feel the crystal the soldier had given him vivrating. But he chose to ignore it. He took out of a pocket a black slime and put it on one of Reysha's wounds. The thing started sucking Rixos' blood and transferring it to Reysha. "Don't make me regret this. By the way, you owe me an apology. And money. I'm not going to forget the money."

Rixos' Choice 
Instant 
Choose one: 
• Put X loyalty counters on target planeswalker.
• Remove X loyalty counters from target planeswalker.
"Don't make me regret this."

[Choosing to put loyalty counters on Reysha. Take it as a gift if you want to.]

A brilliant flash of light fills the room as Dr. Timotar Arueth arrives. Glancing at Reyhsia and the people surrounding her, he lands to kneel beside her.
"Everyone get back. He's a doctor," Frode shouts, pushing away anyone who doesn't move. Dr. Arueth checks her pulse, finds it lacking, then closes his eyes, the light moving to surround her as well.

"I'm sorry, my lady, but I'm afraid your disciple still has unfinished business in this life." Another hand reaches out beside Vijaya's. "Reyhsia, will you come back with me and make things right? Your little bandar needs your help."

---

(Actual card responses once cajun gives me Reyhsia and Vijaya's reaction to this.)

cajun — Karina, the Free: Another Karina, another weird gimmick. I like this one better than most of her non-loyalty abilities. 10/10
WindyDelcarlo — Therian Restoration Serum: This is a bit odd as it needs to be legendary for balance reasons, not for flavor reasons. Still, I like both the abilities. 9/10
gurfafflekins — Shaurisa, Reinvigorator: The lifegain in addition to the damage prevention seems like a bit much, honestly. 8/10
mrlozano — Rixos' Choice: I like this design a lot, but it doesn't really feel mythic—I think I'd like it better at rare. (Also, sorry for how the 7CI agents are treating him; they don't get along well with arms dealers.) 9/10

As Reyhsia's heart restarts, Timotar gets to his feet. "You," he says, looking at Reyhsia, "are suffering from severe blood loss and a transfusion will not be ready fast enough. BE RESTORED."
He turns to the crowd. "Something has clearly gone horribly wrong here. MAY THE GLORY OF THE SUN BURN AWAY ALL DECEPTION AND LEAVE ONLY THE TRUTH. Now, will someone tell me what the f—" He glances down at the two children. "—heck is going on here?"
As he speaks, a ring of light encircles the room, preventing all within its confines from lying.

Timotar Arueth, Hierophant
Legendary Planeswalker — Arueth
: Exile another target permanent. Return it to the battlefield under its owner's control at the beginning of the next upkeep.
: Exile up to five target cards from graveyards. You may return a creature or planeswalker card you own from among them to the battlefield under your control.
: You get an emblem with "Spells your opponents cast cost more to cast. Noncreature spells your opponents cast cost more to cast."


This is a response to gurfafflekins (the — let's make sure nobody dies), mrlozano (the — Rixos isn't going to get to do his sketchy first aid when there's a real doctor here), WindyDelcarlo and cajun (the — Karina isn't ulting until Tim has a zone of truth and a better idea what's going on here), and the goddess Vijaya (the — Reyhsia still has work to do, you're not reincarnating her yet). All of you should rate it, though I don't expect to get a rating from Vijaya as she has far more important things to be doing.

Rixos steps back when the doctor approaches Reysha. The symbiote retracts over his arm but he puts it into a pocket and closes it. He might seem a little bit pissed (because having a moment of glory healing the woman would have helped his image to potential customers) but inside he is glad he hasn't had to heal Reysha: using the slime always leaves him exhausted. Without further ado he leans back to the wall.
If/When he is asked he will say something like "The woman paid me with false coins and that's why I came here. For what I have seen I might not be the one with the greatests problems here. But she still owes me money. And an apology. She hurted my honor, and my families'." Anyways, he has made his own conclussions, so, porbably he won't take any actions against her. All depends on what happens now.

Timotar Arueth, Hierophant: I agree with WindyDelcarlo in that the -2 might be more a break than a bend in white. Anyways, the rest of the cards feel balanced, the ultimate is game winning but at -11, if you reach it, you deserve the win. 8/10

Timotar Arueth, Hierophant - is very nice and i'm a bit softer on the white reanimate 9/10

"MAY THE GLORY OF THE SUN BURN AWAY ALL DECEPTION AND LEAVE ONLY THE TRUTH. Now, will someone tell me what the f—heck is going on here?"

Reyhsia groaned at the noise. "I don't know." Karina ran to her side as multiple voices tried to explain what they knew. The finally looked back to Karina and her.

"Ugh, look," Reyhsia said slowly. "I was finishing work after Malex. Someone handed me my hat and I put it on. Next thing I know I'm falling down here." She grunts as she tries to pull herself up to look at the crowd.

"Alright, jacket boy. I've never met you before. Tell me what I owe you and you'll get it."

"Lady Reyhsia..." one of the Xirix interrupted. "They are waiting on the child."

She gave a pained smiled to Karina. Hannah and Aiden urged her on. Karina stood up nervously. Everyone was staring at her. She had to go through it all. Again. Again. She was shaking.

"Everything'll be alright," Hannah whispered. She flashed a hopeful smile. "Don't worry."

She took a deep breath. "In Festenya, I found a hat. A magic hat. When I put it on, it took over my head. It brought me here. Until a few days ago, it pretended to be me, and there wasn't anything I could do to stop it."

She held up the trick hat. "This is Reyhsia's real hat. The magic hat made it look like this. When I finally got free, it made itself look like Reyhsia's so she would wear it and get stuck like I did."

"It's all my fault," she cried. "I wanted to tell everyone what happened but I couldn't. Everything everyone knew was a lie. If I had said what had happened, everyone would hate me. For the first time in years, I had friends, I had a home, I had a family. I couldn't lose it all. So I kept it a secret. And now... Reyhsia's... dying... because of me..." If she continued talking, no one could understand her between the sobs.

The Life of Karina Oblay
Enchantment - Saga
(As this Saga enters and after your draw step, add a lore counter. Sacrifice after III.)
I, II - Gain control of target creature for as long as you control The Life of Karina Oblay. Untap it. It gains haste until end of turn.
III - Each player returns seven other permanents they control to their owner's hand, discards their hand, then draws seven cards.

As Cyber said, "It doesn't have to be true, you just have to believe it."

Aylin arrives at the 7CI's headquarters a few days later, her face a perfect mixture of happiness and contempt, if that's even possible.
"Guess what? I found the other geomancer, no thanks to you guys!" she says "Bring me a map and I'll tell you where to find that idiot!"

Treasure Spot
Land
: Put a glint counter on target land. That land gains ": Add one mana of any color."
"Let's keep digging, we're bound to find something soon!"

This is... familiar? Some of this is like Entelan-ish, but.. How do they power this? There's no aether... at all? I can ask, later. "Hi, my name is Seiva Zeni, I'm the project head of Entela's Eternity Project for Interplanar Development, and a friend told me I should be talking to the Seventh Circle Initiative to ensure I am not overstepping boundaries."

Diplomatic Summons 
Sorcery 
Target opponent may untap all permanents they control.  If they do, untap all permanents you control.
Target opponent may draw two cards.  If they do, draw two card.

The day after the Okus/Reysha incident.
Rixos returns to the 7CI building. People don't seem to like him here, and he doesn't know why, but money is money, and he wants to talk to Reysha too. He approaches the reception. "Hello, my name is Rixos of House Ker, wandering merchant. I was here during yesterday's incident and the doctor told me to come back today. I had some issueswith Reysha while she was controlled by the hat. She bought some things from me and paid me with money. But it was false coin. I discovered it when I tried to give itto another merchant." Rixos makes a pause. "Anyways, I want my money back, but I would also like to talk to the woman. She may have some more information I could use, and she may want information about what the hat wanted for me." Rixos smiles and awaits a response.

Formal Presentation 
Instant 
Scry 2. Each opponent may scry 1. For each opponent who does, reveal the top card of your library. You gain life equal to it's converted mana cost.
A good first impression opens doors.

mocandragon5 — Blind Retribution: Wow. This is an incredibly satisfying removal spell. 10/10
"Reyhsia didn't call in your debt of her own will—she was being controlled. She doesn't want you to continue with this." They seem oddly undamaged by Chrysoplei's attacks, continuing, "Seriously, please stop. I don't want to hurt you any more, and Reyhsia wouldn't want me to either."

Teagan Markey, Scion
Legendary Planeswalker — Teagan
As long as Teagan Markey has seven or more loyalty counters on them, they're a 7/3 Human God creature with indestructible in addition to their other types. Prevent all damage that would be dealt to them except by unblocked attacking creatures.
: Target creature gains menace and vigilance until your next turn.
: Teagan Markey deals 3 damage to target creature and you gain that much life. If they're a creature, instead they deal damage equal to their power to that creature and you gain that much life.


(Responds by being indestructible—boring, I know.)

WindyDelcarlo — Diplomatic Summons: Hm, it's like Intellectual Offering but optional for the opponent? Not a huge fan of the political incentives this creates. 8/10
"Eternity Project for Interplanar Development... your friend gave you some good advice. We do tend to take an interest in—wait, Entela? As in the one on Volaria? Have you talked to the Linelan Interplanetary Enforcement Unit about this yet?"

(See Aiea below.)

---

mrlozano — Formal Presentation: Neat card, if extremely weak. Has cool opportunities for outplaying your opponent in limited. 8/10
"Ah, Mr. Ker, we've been expecting you. If you'd fill out these forms detailing precisely what was purchased and for how much... Reyhsia is in no condition to talk to you, I'm afraid, but if you'd like to share what the hat said to you we'd be happy to pass it on... Yes, now sign there and there...
Now, before we reimburse you, there's a few things we need to talk about regarding your mercantile business. You sold something quite dangerous to someone with ill intent, and people died because of it—and this isn't the first time it's happened, though you're probably not aware of it.
When you bring weapons to a plane that far surpass what's normally present there, when you sell an item that revolutionizes a plane's magical paradigm... people get hurt. And whether you see it or not, you're responsible, and we're the ones trying to clean up the mess you've left.
Now, we're not trying to drive you out of business—we just want you to be a bit more careful. Don't sell things too much more technologically or magically advanced than what's available locally. We've got more detailed plane-specific guidelines we'd be happy to provide you with—you might even find some new markets for your goods in the process!
Oh, and we'd really prefer you not sell to anyone on this list. We keep track of people with bad intentions on a Multiversal scale—you seem like a good guy, you wouldn't want to be responsible for someone committing a planar genocide with your wares.
Well, here's your payment. I presume Ravnican Zibs are acceptable?"

Aiea, Scheming Diplomat
Legendary Planeswalker — Aiea
: Create a 1/1 blue Rogue creature token.
: Look at the top X cards of target player's library, where X is the number of token creatures that dealt damage to that player this turn. Put any number of those cards on top of that player's library and the rest on the bottom of that player's library in any order.
: You get an emblem with "If a player would draw a card except the first one they draw in each of their draw steps, instead you create two 1/1 blue Rogue creature tokens."


( to unscry you, to win at diplomacy)

gurfafflekins — Inquiry: Neat effect, but 2U doesn't draw you two cards at instant speed without filtration, let alone with. Would be great at . 8/10
The orc scowls at the 'sunshine' comment. "Rettai's off-plane on other business. Deputy Chief Hana Cheyn's in charge around here until he gets back—but if you're here about Aiden, I'm the one you'll want to talk to."

Kauriga of the Rooftops
Legendary Planeswalker — Kauriga
: Destroy up to one target artifact. Each player loses 1 life.
: Exile the bottom two cards of each player's library. You can play those cards this turn. Add two mana in any combination of colors.
: Target player discards two cards.


(Takes away your card advantage or steals whatever you didn't select.)

And lots of unfriendly ones too.  I smirk, looking up at the orc, roughly a foot taller than me.  "Shame.  You know me so well though, Kauriga.  Found his body in a small shack covered in internal third-degree burns.  I suspect some sort of internal fire spell, but it doesn't look like foul play.  Don't think a schmuck in armor like that goes down easy.  Guarded by a little girl and another skirt, saw some weird stuff with her.  Plan on giving her the third soon.  I already have a couple leads and an idea on what to do with this one, but was wondering what else you could tell me about him." I said, taking a flask and popping the cork.  "By the way, how's the vigilantism going?  Break any laws lately?" I take a swig of my tiger's milk.

Tip the Mitt
Sorcery
Each opponent reveals their hand.
Draw a card.
"C'mon, spill the beans, baby.  You aren't going anywhere until you do."

Translations:
skirt - slightly derogatory term for "woman"
giving her the third - interrogating
tiger's milk - any form of alcohol
Tip the Mitt - Revealing information

Kauriga of the Rooftops: +1 seems fine, might be able to get away with just opponents.  -3 #1 Grenzo says part 1 is a thing BR does, but part 2 could just be BR ramp which feels a little weird.  -3#2 seems really good for three mana, two cards can hurt a lot.  7.5/10 but practice what I preach so 8/10.

"The Eternity Project's the plan for Entela to set up small research-habitation outposts in other planes and enable interplanar cooperation throughout as much of the multiverse as we can.  Well, okay, I guess technically those are different projects, we're just starting them off.  You know, making sure we avoid wars, know how to get Volarians to not die while off Volaria, find places where people wouldn't get pissed at us if we had people there."

Seiva glances at her transceiver again.  "Specifically, this step's going to be testing methods of counteracting aether exhaustion, because one of our students happily decided to show us what happens when you don't pay attention to that sort of thing."  Seiva looks out of the corner of her eye.  "And, you know, talking to potential governments about interplanar cooperation, since Master Sara would really like to make that a thing."

Woah, Tyrantbane Finn sees so many cards.  I'm almost certain this wasn't intended, but I'm really glad this -3 can't kill Karina like I thought it did the first time I read it.  (Funnily, also can't kill the aforementioned tyrant since her card in Linela the set is a 2/2 that spawns an army) 9/10

Cooperative Research

Cooperation (Any player may spend mana as though it were generic mana to cast this spell.)
Each player who spent mana to cast this spell draws X cards.

I rolled my eyes.  "Well, less giving her trouble, more wrong place, wrong time.  I planeswalked here and found his body, left the scene to look for clues, and when I came back she was there.  Then she cried more and more, and suddenly some venom-tongue dame came in and started singing to her.  Long story short, weird stuff went down, and she tried to threaten me with a spear." I sighed.  "And I also came here with this, speaking of your missing engineer - something tells me that schmuck wouldn't have had this." I say, reaching into my coat pocket and pulling out a small device with IT EATSon it.  "Feels like some sort of clue to this whole thing.  This look like your tech?"

Lit Panel
Artifact - Clue
, , sacrifice ~: Draw a card.
, , sacrifice ~: Target player puts the top three cards of their library into their graveyard.

Karina, the Investigator: Static abilities on walkers are meh in general, this one seems fine, can whiff pretty easy.  +1 feels weird but in color, -1 feels fine.  Thing is it mostly feels blue, with the lifegain added to give it the white, but I assume you designed the abilities with some intent that it had to be white. 8/10.

Translations:
None this time really.
