Synthetic Seraph   Creature - Angel Mutant   : Until end of turn, Synthetic Seraph gains your choice of first strike, flying, lifelink or vigilance. There is one rule the Azorius, the Boros and even the Rakdos agree upon: Never leave any severed body parts unguarded while a biomancer is around.3/3 |

Three Generic, a black, and a red
Legendary Creature - Angel Demon

Flying. Lifelink.
If a source would do damage to a player, it deals twice as much damage instead.
If a source would cause a player to gain life, they gain that much life minus two instead.

So, Serra is back! But she has been zombified and turned her cathedral into a fortress of unholy power from which twisted angels swarm out to bring judgement. |

Seems like it. This challenge is now closed - please no further changes of entries!
Sorry for the slight delay, maybe should have waited a day to close this one. But anyway, here we (finally) go: { sdfkjgh} I like this one. Your designs tend to get a bit convoluted at times, yet Holy Bones while being wordy has a very clean and coherent theme. It's obviously rather powerful with its build-in recursion, but I think being as fragile as it is nicely balances it out. Only minor nitpick: As an angel with mana value 5 (this will take some time getting used to) and a five mana activated ability that cares about you gaining five life, my inner Melvin would love to see it have 5 power as well  { thaneofglamis} A red/green angel definitely is something I didn't expect when I saw the given challenge (actually had to check whether a real one already exists – the answer is no btw) – but I really like what you came up with. It really looks like a slashy Gruul mythic with the limited hexproof offering enough to make it still feel like an angel nethertheless. { viriss} This is by far the most wordy entry for this contest, even if the ability feels easily enough to understand, so I don't think it's that much of an issue. Have to admit, for some reason I'm not as interested in actually playing your card as I feel about playing the other entries – but I don't even know why. I like the limitations you used for the ability and the flavor is definitely there, but the card just doesn't resonate with me as much, sorry. { Flo00} And here we have another color combination I would never have expected when reading the challenge – also the only non-(mythic)rare. Have to say, I really like this one though. Simple Hill Giant stats but that activated ability really pulls its weight – also the flavor text is hilarious. Love it! { hydraheadhunter} That's a powerful beater for sure – doubling player damage on a five mana flying 5/5 sounds tough. Have to say, doubling the damage but reducing lifegain by two feels like a weird combination somehow – either both abilities should increase/reduce by a fixed number or should double/half the numbers instead. Also personally I think your entry feels much more like a demon than an angel – basically the lifelink is the only part of your card feeling angelic. Minor wording nitpick: The first line should say „Flying, lifelink“. { melono} Now that's a clean yet very powerful angel, seriously. To be honest I don't think I'm really able to judge the ability without doing some heavy playtesting – at six mana it shoudln't break the game but I'd say without any restrictions it's a bit overpowered nethertheless compared to cards like these.. { ameisenmeister} Simple and clean – and I really like how well an ability I'd at first have accociated with the Lorwyn elves fits a group of twisted angels as well.. {  } This was tough – there really were several pretty cool entries around this time. In the end, I think I'll gve the win to Flo00 with thaneofglamis and ameisenmeister as runner-ups in no particular order. |

Daij_Djan: There's a very definite reason I didn't give Holy Bones 5 power: with 5 power, its middle ability would always be on, and you could attack and block with a 5/1 lifelinker with impunity. As a 4/1, there's a very definite cost to blocking or being blocked, that involves the rest of the card. Also, Marrow Bats.

@ sdfkjgh: Yeah, you're obviously right. No idea why I thought it couldn't trigger its own recursion (because I did think so for some reason).. |

How is flickering not an action keyword yet? Yaba Baga, Hedge-Mage Queen  Legendary Creature - Hag Spellshaper Noble Wither, lifelink If a creature with Hedge-Mage in its name entering the battlefield causes its ability to activate, you may copy that ability if you control four or more of the listed land type. You may choose new targets for the ability.  ,  , Discard a card: Flicker target creature (Exile it, then return it to the battlefield under its owner’s control.)
 , , Discard a card: Switch target creature’s power and toughness until end of turn. Draw a card. 3/2 |

If a Hag entering the battlefield causes its ability to activate, you may copy that ability if you control four or more of the listed land type. You may choose new targets for the ability. Here's my entry:
Creature - Hag Warlock  , , Exile three cards from your graveyard: Choose one at random — • Create a 1/1 green Frog creature token and a 1/1 black Rat creature token. • You gain 2 life and draw a card. • Put two +1/+1 counters on target creature. 2/4

Shrivelwither Gwyllion  Creature - Hag Counters other than -1/-1 counters can't be put on creatures. Creatures you control have wither. (They deal damage to creatures in the form of -1/-1 counters.) 2/5

Okay, the card is wordy af but I couldn't figure out how to shorten the text while keeping the effect. |

Nonagon Infinity I just wanted one Hag not ALL the hags! Lol, rainbow! That first ability is really wordy and narrow, but nice and powerful. I do like that you put a land count match and minimum. Collectively it all works nicely. thaneofglamis I like the random but all upside abilities. Not sure if they can all be done in mono. It feels like there's a 2 theme. Two split mana (split being another two), create two creatures, gain two life, put two counters. I'd like to see that as "exile two cards" and maybe "2, T". But overall I can imagine the cauldron getting stirred by this hag. melono Shrivelwither indeed! New rule, only -1/-1 counters. Nice. Oh and only I have wither from this fine lady. For some reason I also really like that having multiple out doesn't stack. ameisenmeister I... yup. That is a wordy. I'm not sure you need to unsummon trick. I'm trying to picture it without that part and it still seems to work. Since it's not really a surprise that she's lurking around. Though indestructible and deathtouch is strong. thaneofglamis Gives me the Haggy feels!

As soon as I saw Learn/Lesson, I came up with this:
Favored Professor Creature--Djinn Wizard Advisor Magecraft—Whenever you cast or copy an instant or sorcery spell, learn. (You may reveal a Lesson card you own from outside the game and put it into your hand, or discard a card to draw a card.)
Your sideboard can contain any number of Lesson cards.
 , : Copy target instant or sorcery spell with mana value X. You may choose new targets for the copy. 2/3 |
