cajun : You're definitely not - consider that an oversight on my part. Rating booped up to 9. Card's interesting, although a bit powerful for both slowing things and speeding things at the same time. A solid 9/10 since you still need to build 'round it. "An interesting theory," Lumen noted. "But a bit too optimistic for the circumstances, no?"Auric Ascetic   Artifact Creature - Human Monk  Flying When CARDNAME enters the battlefield, choose one: - Exile target enchantment. - Put a +1/+1 counter on CARDNAME. He scorns everything that lies outside of the realm of artifice.1/1 ------ A (Brief) History on Forensics on Kassova Kassovan forensics are difficult. Despite advances in technology, the dessert sands and the blazing heat do no favors in preserving neither body nor footprint, not to mention the gluttonous sandwurms that are all too happy to help criminals dispose of evidence. Furthermore, the advances in technology were a double-edged sword - while they came with DNA recognition technology and magnifying glasses, they also meant people slowly became less and less human-parted. In fact, a black market in some of the sketchier Kassovan counties for metallic parts has emerged as a way to conceal one's own DNA from would-be-searching Sheriffs. With this in mind, most of the evidence is circumstantial and based on part numbers and manufacturer numbers. The technology of metal dating allows the origins and time of production of a metal to be traced back to one of many prosthetic processing units and the purchasers of said prosthetic or "enhancement". Even in cases where the metal parts are purchased in various illegal methods, those sketchier counties are beholden to no one, and if necessary, law enforcement is willing to begrudgingly pay out a pretty penny to access their purchase histories, usually in exchange for some form of immunity. Courtesy of this background, Lumen isn't actually very used to using DNA evidence, and considers it relatively different from what he usually has. Instead, he uses a number of other techniques such as dating an object or person's location or state at various periods of time through science and by making use of an impeccable note taking system. In fact, even in Kassova, Lumen was known as a meticulous notetaker who seldom forgot a single detail despite his relative frailty and weakness compared to his colleagues. Nowadays though, new pastures have forced Lumen to retouch upon his forgotten skills, and at last after much practice and mental stimulation, he has improved his use of a microscope and a scalpel to work with biological evidence. Lumen has spent 100 Valor to purchase Investigate!

Fleur this one took some digging (partially cause I misread and thought it tapped initially). Blue's only pulled off the multiple flying tokens twice, but both bigger and still common so this is surprisingly golden, 8/10
"Hrm, they would be hard to find, wouldn't they. But if they try to kill you they don't seem like they would make things vanish without a clue. We must be missing someone else still." Okus paid no attention to what it had said, and tried to fit pieces together.

Valis sidles away, though it's obvious that she's taking her time to poke and peek around all the nearby machines, including Lumen's mechanical parts.

The bomb is consumed by the vacuum and leaves no trace behind, the only thing that seems about to explode is Aylin's temper.
"Listen you 'genius'" she says producing antes exact replica of the bomb she just threw at him. This one has a beeping Red light that also suggests it might be on, but Aylin removes the orb and shatters It with her fingers "Get that chip out of your brain, ok? It wasn't really on! Do you really think I would want to kill anybody here?
"I've only killed one man in my entire life, and he wasn't a man, but a beast. The bastard deserverd it for..." She suddenly shuts up, she almost said too much.
"Anyways" she continues impassively "I'm sorry for misleading you, but I'm not sorry for trying to put some thrill in your life. These are yours, by the way, use then wisely..."
She produces a small bag with ten more explosives, leaves it at Lumen's feet, then turns around and leaves without waiting for an answer.Vacuum Pulse: looks fine considering Peel from Reality. 9/10.

FleurThis is just a better Concentrate. Mana cost is more flexible, the casting is more flexible, and you can even cast it in responce to something on your turn without the downside. Requiring it to be cast on your mainphase would help with that catch but this is still a bit over the power curve. Jace's Ingenuity is 5, while Concentrate is 4. The difference for instant speed in this comparison is 1 mana. This leaves your card in a very weird spot in between these two bases. I think making this draw 3 then discard 1 if not cast on main phase could work. The golem seems to notice you approach and looks. The body's inner glow begins to shift from blue to white as it raises one of its crystline arms.Aura of Peace Enchantment Whenever a source you control deals damage, sacrifice ~.

Fleur Woops, I changed the thing so many times I forgot to put the number: last one is 8/10For the Pacifist, first thing is that flavorwise shouldn't it have defender or 0 power? Not a big issue but just thought that when looking at the name. Another thing is that the activated ability may be a tad too strong although it is hard to judge exactly. Aryel is probably the closest to it at a quick look through. I can say that I love the first ability, but the second one can easily become a problem, although the power really comes from how many cheap artifact creatures and tokens can go into a deck with this. I'll say 8/10 on this too. The golem walks up to them, and begins to glow brighter. It looks to them, then back to you curiously. The light emited is blindingly bright, and makes the area around feel lighter, almost lifting everyone off the ground. Then, as the light dims again, it looks back to the artificer.Radiant Accord Enchantment : Target creature gains flying, lifelink, and vigilance until end of turn.
