The trail ends abruptly near a small forest. Most of the trees at the entrance are tainted with the slimy material the woman has been following, but there is no trace of its source.

The squirrel falls to the ground, its body a bloody mass of meat. It lays there, very dead. Until, all of sudden, it is not. In a few seconds the body recomposes itself, and becomes totally covered in the black slime. The animal looks at Experiment Zero and whithout a second thought jumps towards her. Simultaneously, a loud noise comes from the nearby trees and an awful lot of squirrels emerge from the between the leaves. Creature of Elsewhere terminated. Confirmed kills: 1.
Zero began walking to collect her knives when the squirrel jumps at her. Relying on her speed, she tries to punch it out of the air.
Elsewhere [ERROR: Unassigned variable] increased to thirty point three - thirty-five point four - forty point seven eight zero percent - [ERROR: Target overflow]
She begins walking backwards, with another rift opening for a split second to allow her to draw her sword, too large for her one hand. As the squirrels reach her, she begins slashing wildly.

If you do, Grab and Smash deals 4 damage to any target.

The squirrels continue their approach surrounding Zero, but one they've mostly blocked her possible escape routes they don't get closer. The first squirrel seems to be the one giving the instructions. It runs stweadily towards Zero, its whole body covered in goo, until it takes the shape of a ball, and jumps off the ground, aiming for the head. Small tendrils emerge from it. [Escape chance thirty-five point five zero percent. Contact chance eighty point three zero percent and rising.]
Zero readies her blade and swings for the goo squirrel. If she makes contact, an electric shock will transfer from Zero through her blade to the ball. Shocking Slash Instant  Target creature gets +1/+1 and gains first strike until end of turn.
Spell mastery — If there are two or more instant and/or sorcery cards in your graveyard, that creature gains double strike until end of turn.

Indeed, the blade makes contact. The electricity fully covers the slimy ball, but it doesn't harm it at all. At least, it changes its trajectory, making it hit a nearby tree. Some apples fall from it, and the nearest squirrels run away scared. The squirrel covered by the thing regains its usual from, as it land in the ground. It doesn't make any further attack against Zero. In fact, it looks somewhat scared and exhausted, if so can be said about an expressionless black squirrel. A closer inspection may reveal that now not all the fur is covered in goo... [Power remaining: twenty point two one zero percent. Chance of escape increasing. Chance of kill: indeterminate.]
[Must protect own existence.]
[Must eliminate creature of elsewhere.]
[.... .... .... .... .... .... .... ....]
Zero took a step back from the stunned squirrel, then turned and sprinted away though the openings in the ring of squirrels.

mrlozano "It was beautiful... Don't leave me!!!"All things considered, the girl was likely already dead. She was little more than a skeleton when she had left, and if she were to find The Thing again, she would willingly consign herself to death once again. That was the interesting part, however. How could it have convinced her to willingly risk such a horrific fate once again?
"I feel... empty... incomplete..."
Perhaps it was just a trick it played on a host's mind, to destroy their self preservation. Perhaps it was indeed something more. No action would be necessary yet, but some observation would be useful for the future. At least some way to consistently track The Thing down. It had trailed some sort of black ichor, when it had dragged itself from her shop. So, Lettie found herself following any similar trails that crossed her harvest routes. What would she find?Grim Legacy  Sorcery  As an additional cost to cast this spell, sacrifice a creature. Draw cards equal to the sacrificed creature's power, then each player discards two cards.

The first trails Lettie found ended as abruptly as they had started. It wasn't until she was returning to her shop, when she found one that seemed different. It guided her into a forest that gave a really odd vibe. The trees looked ill, almost like they were decomposing alive. No birds sang nor other animals could be seen. While Lettie was deciding if she should enter or not, she noticed a swift movement by the corner of her eye. When she turned to search for the cause, there was no trace of any living being. But a path had appeared between the grim tress. A path that wasn't there before.p Old God's Guide Artifact Creature - Symbiote Bond Equipped creature gets +1/+1.

The forest doesn't react to her fungal magic, in any appreciable way. Everything works as it should, maybe a little worse than expected, but works nonetheless.
"I know you're more than just the ichor, and I know you're there. Can you speak? Do you have any way to show the beauty you promise to your hosts, or do they simply wish for death, only for you to draw it out?"
As soon as Lettie speaks, a glade opens between the trees. The stangest thing, is that nothing feels magical, but she could swear that that clearing wasn't there before. In the middle of the glade a tree stands among its decaying kin. This majestic oak, twenty metres tall, shows no trace of blight or disease. It looks pure, almost out of place. Lying down on the roots, Lettie finds the girl. She has no heartbeat, but in her face can be seen the widest of smiles.
Lettie senses a movement behid her. The Thing stands there, a pillar of black goo. But it doesn't attack Lettie. It just stands there, and carefully approaches her. It tries to take humanoid form, but it's clearly lacking a host. It tries to make a mouth-like shape in its surface, but the communication isn't succesful. In the end, it just stands there, two feet apart from Lettie, like allowing the woman to make the first move of the game.The Thing, Uncorrupted Artifact Creature - Symbiote Bond ( : Attach this to target creature you control.

mrlozano The gargoyle failed to notice the beast that was following it, flapping across the sky for an unknown purpose. An hour passed before it finally found somewhere to perch, a crumbling monolith at the top of a slightly yellowed grass hill. Appearing from behind the monolith, relative to the thing, appeared what seemed to be the thing's master...or summoner, whose gaze was set to the creature on top of the stone relic. They seemed young, but was definitely growing into adulthood, and red locks made her easy to see from a distance. "Find anything Daanstein?" She asked her creature, the thing shaking it's head no as it crawled down to the ground. It seemed the servant had led back to the master after all. {Response Card - Moonmist Protector} 
Mouth from Beyond: Neat idea, though weird it cares about stuff you have in exile and its second effect doesn't feed it, but that would likely be too powerful. 8/10

Strixhaven College, first day of the semesterA small cat with a big hat walks through the gates of the College. He wears a tunic in Quandrix and carries a sketchbook and some brushes. By his side walks a big black cat, without a hat, but with an oversized longsword sheathed in his back. The small cat looks excited, while the big one is way less amused. “I’m really looking forward to this year, brother!” “Yeah, I can tell that, Michi. On the other paw, I’m not. If I have to spend one meonth, lions forbid six, surrounded by these nerds, I’m going to go meowd.” He notices that Michi’s hat is almost falling from his head, and carefully fixes it in place. He also tidies his brother’s uniform. “Looking sharp, little brother!” Michi waves at a group of students across the courtyard. “That owlin in the Prismari suit looks really tasty…” “Brother! What have I told you about trying to eat meow friends!” Doer feels scolded by the smaller cat. ”It was just a joke!” I'm a little big hungry, tho. “So, if you are not going to stay, what are you going to do? Do you want meow to take you to any plane?” Doer looks back to where they came from, the aetheric disruption in the point Michi planeswalked to still bright and easy to traverse. “I think I’m going to go back to the Arena for a while.” Something feels off after fighting those creatures from across the rift… “Meownd checking on meow on a few weeks?” “Sure thing, I’ll pass by before the first exams start.” The cats are now close to the other groups of students, and Doer can help but feel out of place, surrounded by academics. He’s always been the tavern brawler type, not one for rhetoric combats of artful displays of sorcery. Sure, he can spit a sick burn and blow stuff up, but these people are professionals. He puts a paw on Michi’s shoulder. “You know what to do brother. Go kick those equations in the ass!” Michi laughs and waves to Doer as he leaves, turning to greet his friends. Doer can hear the owlin asking Michi why he didn’t choose her same college, but when the answer comes, he is too far to understand it. When he reaches the point where they entered the plane, he unsheathes the Weapon, and cuts again through the space between planes that some people call “The Blind Eternities”. He prefers to call them “the place where I chop the the tentacle stuff”. A breach opens in the air, and he crosses. The monsters on the other side are nothing new but travelling towards a plane where his brother isn’t is always more difficult. For a brief moment, spectators both in Strixhaven and the Arena can hear a faint “MEOW YOU; YOU MEOWING MEOWSTARD” until the shouting is replaced by the sound of mashed limbs and eldritch screams of agony. No Eldrazi can beat him. I’m the greatest hunter of the Meowtiverse after all!
Doer the Cat is back on the Arena!

It had heard of a hunter that prowled upon these parts. Small, yes, but deadly indeed, or so the rumors from the frightened man went. They were always frightened. It was hard to have a conversation. Then again, the ghost spoke far more freely than the living man. Clues to finding that place Soumaw sought were unlikely to be in this place, but a worthy soul was something it would drool for if only it could drool at all. He placed a shadowy hand upon a stone wall, seeing the smoke beginning to emerge from the cracks, followed by the limbs and the faces of the fading ghosts that made up said mist. A preparatory move to drain away potential defenders of Soumaw's prey.

I have not heard any rumeowrs about this creature, but I know how to recognize the clues of a fellow predator. I've seen the drained corpses, near places I have been. This is a dangeorous beast without doubt. It's a relieves meow to know that Michi is not here. Doer moves silently among the ruins, the Weapon drawn, now transformed into an unlit torch. A different mist emanates from one of the cat's pocket, a drawing of a cold foggy winter morning with a green field covered in a layer of frost burning inside. I'm no adept in meowgic, but I can use meow brother's prepared spells. A true hunter meowst always be prepared. The cat sneaks behind a stone wall, which starts to exhude a ghostly mist. He waits a second. Now, before I lose the surprise factor. In the blink of an eye, the Weapon turns into an enormous battlehammer, bringing the wall down on the monster. The cat jumps seconds after, now wielding a halberd. Straight for the head. I have to bet on the meownster not being able to react. "The predator becomes prey meowstard!"
Soumaw's presence was without question given away. Having surrounded itself with mists, a surprise attack was something it expected. Just not through the wall. Rocks burst from behind the shadowy planeswalker, its grunts of surprise sounding like wind blowing and rippling through smoke. It was only as it stumbled forward that it noticed the bits of frost that accumulated on the floor, as Soumaw itself was unable to feel the cold. Was this perhaps why the mists failed to weaken the prey? Well, it was useful to learn as well. As it recovered, it turned only to see it's head sliced partway through with a weapon that seemed to large for the wielder and too small for the standard. It was a pointless endeavor nonetheless though, Soumaw's face closing back what little gap was formed. What else but that would be the result of slicing through mist? Though the sudden rocks earlier did indeed make it loose its balance.

I watch as the meownster's wound heals. Not a good sign. I like meow preys' wounds to stay open, an my dead foes to stay dead. This beast looks like it won't fulfill any of the two. I reevaluate my options. If the Weapon doesn't harm it, I need a new plan. The big axe turns into a pair of daggers, and the cat throws one of them towards the beast's head. If the monster tries to remove it, it will just dissapear in a puff of smoke, but the wounds it causes are very real. The cat runs to the ruins. The first step is meowking it lose the trail. It won't be easy. This is no ordinary animal. It seems to have a mind of its own, after all, I'm pretty difficult to track. Doer takes cover, hoping to get enough time to fish for something that can help. He has not many scrolls on him, and burning his brother's drawings is not something the cat enjoys. I don't think cheap tricks are going to help. The cat grins. Then I'll have to restort to meow favourite pasttime... unbridled violence!! A knife flew towards Soumaw, cutting through an eye and the top of the head as it made an attempt to dodge. Truthfully speaking it had no need to, indeed the gap was once again sealed in moments, yet it was still a reflex it now possessed. Perhaps in time, it would eat a soul that could help to reign in such unnecessary things. The small one was pretty fast, however, and already making its escape. Whether it meant to get away entirely or get something more useful, it could be problematic. It occurred then to Soumaw that assessing more about the prey, and how it thought, could be beneficial. It nodded to the spirit that suggested it, though this one was more ephemeral, like a mere voice ringing in its mind. Mind... Yes, that would do. Understanding by how to by instinct, Soumaw had the mists around its arms begin to swirl in glowing azure light, seeming to gather before shooting out in the direction of the feline. Should it succeed, it would quickly shuffle through some of their thoughts and memories, pulling them to Soumaw's 'mouth'.
And we're back to attacking. To be honest I can't say I very much like that last card. It has a bit too much going for it, I feel. Life-gain, either killing something tougher or dealing extra damage, cheating out something strong (that last effect is particularly worrying), and cheap to boot with only two although colored mana. It is true that the card is a sorcery which gives the opponent more room to play around it and keeps the card from being a trick, but I do think I wouldn't put that assortment of effects on so little mana. 5/10  |

Doer sees the spirits approaching, and swings the Weapon at them without much luck. One of the specters touches him and the cat feels it consuming the memories of the las minutes. He jumps out of range of the spirit, but the monsters seems to eat away at it. Meow, what was that? The cat is sure that the monster knows his plans. I don't like people meowssing with meow meownd. I don't know what else it can do, but I don't want to test it on my own fur. Still a little bit dissoriented, the cat looks for an exit. He runs through the ruins, his mind still swirling, until he ends up in from of the monster. "Meowstard!" Doew swings the Weapon at it, but the momentum and the surprise advantage are lost. Aaaaaaaaaah, so indeed, the cat sought escape. And those cries it shouted were intended to be insulting. How tiresome. In the end Soumaw's prey always went back to insults. Yet, there was also something... satisfying about it. Fate would not be escaped, not even Soumaw could, nor the djinn who created it. These insults were like the whimper of cattle before the slaugher, a resignation to their fate. Thanks to these thoughts, as the feline came screaming and swinging their weapon, something of a grin formed in Soumaw's 'face'. Its body seemed to bubble and expand, and smoke-like versions of the heads of various animals seemed to emerge from it for a few moments before fading back in, as Soumaw's body contorted into sharper and more animalistic shapes. Ignoring as best it could the weapon it knew to be harmless, Soumaw clawed at its prey with newly formed claws. The souls of predators longed to hunt once more.

As for your card it's simple, professional-looking and makes an interesting response to Mindgrasp. The 3 colorless seems a bit expensive, but then the effect is strong so maybe not. Either way, it's a really appealing card. Take the 10/10. You deserve it.  |

The beast attacks now, its claws piercing meow arm. I do not fear it. A true hunter doesn't fear the prey. And regardless what the meownster meowght think, I am the Greatest Hunter of the Meowtiverse. The cat thrusts the Weapon, in its original longsword form, directly into the monsters' chest. He makes no attempt of dodging any attack that the monster may make. One single strike. This is the hunter's way. Hit first. Hit hard. Hit again. Before connecting, the Weapon ignites in black and red flames, another drawing burning in Doer's pocket. The fire surrounds both the cat and the Weapon, and it will also burn Sowmaw, unless it decides to back off. Blood splattered as it was ripped from the cat's wounds but only holds on the claws for moments before it fell through the smoke and onto the ground around near them. Foolishly, the feline once again attempted to stab through Soumaw's misty body. But then, another plan entirely sprung to mind. Perhaps the foolish one was Soumaw, who presumed the cat would be unable to simply wield raw magic, such as the flame that burst forth from the flame once it was within Soumaw's body. It screeched, a sharp high-pitched sound of wind being squeezed together and echoing spirits, as fire spread inside and burst out like flames within ash. Soumaw stepped back to recompose. Though this pain it could actually feel, it was hardly the first time someone attempted to burn it. Nor would it be the first time it would fail to put it down. With a thought, Soumaw directed spirits into the flames, their hue beginning to change from the prior red into a turquoise with a hint of deep violet. Flames gathered onto Soumaw's hands and then it projected a torrent of them towards the cat. Screams could be faintly heard from the fire, which took on skeletal shapes if one were to squint. Where it burnt the ground, even small rocks seemed to become more brittle, decreptit.

When the fire clears, Doer still stands, his fur charred and covered in ash. "A tough meowstard you are..." I'm running out of tricks. The best idea would be to escape. I can cut my way out through the Eternities and land somewhere safe. But that would meown admeowtting defeat. Although maybe it's from the better. This is a worthy prey. I'll be glad to hunt it down. But I require preparation. One can not hope to win every battle. The cat attacks again, swinging the Weapon in wide arches, hitting both the monster and the ruined walls that surround them, hoping to maintain the distance with Sowmaw. He retreats, getting deeper into the ruins. Then, after a few strikes, the cat stops and grins. "It's been a pleasure, meow friend, but I'm afraid this encounter must come to an end..." The weapon hits the ceiling, and the structure comes crashing down on both combatants. The cat is ready, though, and his weapon cuts a rock, from which a tear in the space-time continuum propagates. The cat sneaks through it, and it closes behind him. Blood still covers the floor, and if Sowmaw can magically locate Doer, it would know that the cat has reappeared a few miles away, and is making his way to the nearest villaged. His intentions? No way to know. So, the creature evaded, even if just barely. Soumaw began to gather a cloud of smoke for its next spell, but the cat struck into the nearby structure, damaging to the point of falling apart. The broken stone cleaved through Soumaw's boy, dispersing it into a a gust. It was still reforming when the cat snuck away through its portal, which Soumaw only caught a faint glimpse of before it vanishes. It looked around, readying claws for a potential attack from blind spot, but none came. It had previously thought enemies who could teleport short distances and used that to attack and evade, but it appeared as though that wasn't the case. The prey this time was like Soumaw: One able to move between planes. There was a chance it already escaped onto another plane entirely. But then, none who could travel between planes would be in a place like this one unless they had something they sought in it. Would Soumaw's prey abandon their own objective so easily? Gaps opened all over Soumaw's body, from which long spirits poured out. Slamming its hands onto the ground, it commanded them to chase after its prey, to search the nearby area and then share their findings. If they managed to find the prey, Soumaw would come for them. If not, it would not pursue. Were it fated to be hunted by Soumaw, they would cross paths again, one way or another.
