Rixos is taking inventory of what he owns, wherever he stores it. As he counts, he notices something new. Right next to where he's stocking his cigarettes and 'votka', there's... a rock? The rock is abnormally smooth. Like it was... processed before arriving here. He felt a minor compulsion to touch the rock.We enjoy what we are capable of. That soldier was a miserable experience.Ominous Stone  Artifact - Clue   , sacrifice ~: Draw a card.  , sacrifice ~: Counter target spell. If he were to touch the rock, it would feel cold. And then, it would warm up the longer he pressed his hand against it. It seemed to be a rock.
Quick Return  Instant Return target artifact or creature from a gaveyard to the battlefield under its owner's control. If it would leave the battlefield, exile instead. So, Rixos wants to talk with Rolt, do I head to your BB or do we stay here? By the way, Rixos has a magic coat with lots of pockets so he has all his things stored there. |

The little girl from before walks back up to Rixos a few days after the attack on 7CI. She seems a lot happier than before. She's wearing the headpiece she tried to sell him, but as a necklace. She's also carrying the soldier's spear. "Um, hi, mister merchant," she says a bit timidly. "I came to say I'm sorry for what happened with the fake money." She holds her hands and spear behind her back and looks down. "I don't think I have enough to pay you back, but maybe I can do something else to make up for it?"

mrlozano As he drops the stone, it shatters. It releases a glow of pale blue light, before it sits as a smashed rock. The inside of it, however, seems to be a fine power - like it was a capsule of some sort. As it lays there, open, I walk up, looking at him with an eyebrow raised. "What're you up to, shopkeep?" I asked, looking at the pale blue powder. Looked like some sort of drug. I motioned to it with my elbow, hands in my pocket. "What you got there?"Framed Enchantment  When ~ enters the battlefield, tap target creature. : Target creature doesn't untap during it's controller's next untap step. "I didn't do it I swear, I have a family, I--""Save it for the judge, pal."
Quick Return: A bit literal for the name - not sure how I feel about semi-decent reanimation either. There comes the memory issue with the exile clause, and I don't think black really hits artifacts back, if at all? 6/10. Also, don't worry about it, Rolt's coming for you instead  (P.S. I'd like to request a rating on my card. Looks like my typical guest system response - but it is not.)

"Don't worry about the fake money, the 7CI took care of it." Rixos shows her some ravnican zibs. "But now that you are here... Do you want to buy or sell something? I have some pretty interesting things." Rixos starts searching through his pockets. She might be a little girl, but she surely has courage, thinks Rixos. He takes out of his pockets a gauntlet with six fingers, a set of keys that seem to change shape constantly and a flute made of diamond.

quick note, first two cards here aren't actually attacks, just a fun flavor thing c: As Rixos sees the girl scared about the flute he quickly takes it back. He tries to smile and look confident but he knows he has screwed things up. Again. Also, he hopes the girl won't be telling anything about this to the 7CI. "I think I have some Volarian money, I got paid with it once? How much do you need?" Rixos shows you some money and also hands you the gauntlet. "Do you want to try it?"

mrlozanoI look at the coat, listening to him speak. "One of these deep storage coats, huh? Fancy tech you got." Feeling the material of the coat. Hmm. There was that feeling - the dizziness from staring at it for too long. I looked away and coughed. "I see... so how did someone slip something into a magic coat?" I put my hand to my chin, thinking. Suddenly, I turn back to him. "Listen Slick, I've gotta make like a banana and split. I have an idea what could have happened but I don't want to jump to any conclusions. You know where to find me if you think of anything else." I say, readjusting my coat and briskly walking off before he had a chance to continue.---The detective had gone pale for a second when he told you he had to leave. Something felt off. We warned you, Skylar.The Coat: I love how this represents inter-dimensional transport with repeatable Entomb and retrieval like that. I don't think the first tap ability should be free, probably also for the sake of not getting everything back for free. With a little refining, this is cool as Hell though. 8/10.

The guy turns to you. "Hello, my name is Rixos of House Ker, and, as you have noticed I'm a merchant." He looks at you upside down. He feels something itching down his spine as he recognises you as a Phyrexian. You can see him sweating. "Well, I have some weapons, but I've been specifically warned about selling them to dangerous individuals... And by your race I should say that you look like one of those "menaces"." He takes a step back, and recovers his breath. "But you seem different of others of your kind I have met before. Can you assure me you won't use these weapons for bad purposes?"

Rixos listens as you explain your purposes. "Right, I suppose." He comes closer to you. "I was worried about you because, well... I've met your kind before, or at least a similar one. I've been to New Phyrexia and I don't want that to spread across the Multiverse. I think you get me." He smiles, trying to look friendly. "But you look different. About limiting whit whom I deal, well, I mostly trade with anyone, but I've been specifically warned by an organization that operates here in the Arena to be very careful with some potential customers. I just wanted to ensure you won't commit a planar genocide or something like that with my weapons. Now I'm being a little bit racist. Sorry. What do you specifically want? You don't seem that bad after all."Make Peace Instant Each player gains 1 life for each artifact they control. Draw a card. "You seem like a safe bet.

"I can understand being cautious, particularly if you have crossed paths with other Phyrexians before. However... you mentioned New Phyrexia.

Could you possibly provide me with further information on this New Phyrexia you speak of?"Incomplete Archive Artifact The first time an opponent draws a card each turn, if it isn't that player's turn, you may pay .

Incomplete Archive: Remids me of Mind's Eye, but it's less powerful, so I think that justifies the lower mana cost. I suppose it can be a tech piece for some specific metagames. Probably not limited playable, also. 7/10

"New Phyrexia is the only Phyrexia I've ever been on, and I don't intend to return anytime soon. The place is a metallic landscape with glistering oil flowing all across the plane. Everything there wants to kill you or compleat you." Rixos loos upside down at you. "Well, in your case they will only try to kill you. Anyways..." Rixos comes closer to you, and after ensuring no one is looking, he opens a pocket, revealing a jar with a black slimy thing inside. "I brought this from my trip to New Phyrexia. I guaranteed myself that it wouldn't spread any kind of plage after bringing it to a woman who could cure the phyrexian disease, phyresis, I think it's called. This guy allows me to keep track of some things if sold, among many other things." Rixos opens the jar and the ooze moves to the outside, acting as if it had eyes to look at its surroundings. Rixos puts it in agains and closes the jar. "Anyways, it's not for sale." He puts the jar in one of his many pockets. "So, what are you interested in buying?"

"Right, blades..." Rixos opens a pocket and takes out some swords, some heavy, some light. Most of them seems kind of magic. "Do you like any of them?" One catches your eye. It seems heavy but it allows very precise moves. It has sigils all across it, like symbols of its original owner.Sword of Justice and Order Artifact - Equipment Equipped creature gets +2/+2 has protection from white and for blue.

The second ability is fine, but I'm sure it could be just . 8/10 I examine the blade carefully, noting that it is very heavily imbued with magic. Considering for a moment, I nod and say, "Yes... this is an excellent weapon. What method of payment would you prefer? Coin, trade, or some combination? I can offer you a couple of semi-autonomous weapons to add to your stock, if you're interested."

"Coin is fine, but I prefer trade. And this things... they seem pretty dangerous. I 'm sure I can sell them somewhere." Rixos gives another sword to the construct, waiting to see what it does.Swiftblade Artifact - Equipment Equipped creature gets +1/+1 for each Equipment attached to it and has haste.

Nodding, I draw out one of my other weapons - one of my less used tools, acquired in my travels yet not particularly suited to my own style of combat. "Another fine blade... for the moment I believe these two will be enough, though I may return to browse your wares further in the future."Sentry's Spear Artifact - Equipment Equipped creature gets +1/+2 and has vigilance.
