There are Angel Warrior and Vampire Wizard. Then, is Iona an Angel Unemployed and Szadek an Vampire Unemployed? Class creature type isn't always a job but I sometimes remind myself this incoherence. A rhox without any class is only a Rhino, so a horse-headed man with no class must be a Horse.  |

Time for judgement! {Spoiler} Idea - Bravebreeze Herd: I really like the horse enlistment, gets that herd feeling across real well. I do think that it’s copy ability is a bit much for being an uncommon 5 mana 4/4 trampler. sdfkjgh - Eccentric Mount: I agree with Idea, two mana for a 10/10 is too much. There are so many cards that care about only power, that it wouldn’t be healthy. Think not only fling-like cards (that don’t sacrifice), but also fighting, or cards like Terror of the Peak or anything with enlist. Also, mutating as mounting doesn’t feel like the correct flavor to me. emberfire17 - Siareti: A strong first striker that is unlikely to ever get blocked due to double menace, though it could happen. Double menace is a good is-nearly-unblockable ability for red and black, but giving it first strike… meh. hydraheadhunter - Totally Normal Horse: At first I thought a clone from anything on the field, but from anything legal? Phew, get your phones ready people, we’re playing magic! It’s a funny random card, but cloning like this… Probably more red than green seeing how chaotic it is? twintania - The concept behind the horse-man with no class is a pretty out of the box interpretation of the challenge. The card itself… Is pretty alright. It’s fun how it forces you to go only horse creatures in your deck, even forcing out changelings, for a big stick. Could possibly be a bigger stick though. Also, as this is probably a pain in draft to “build around”, I’d say, put it at rare at least. pernicious - Sinister Steed: discarding cards for pump is already nichely beloved in commander. Seeing as this has extra upsides, it should be even better. But, it’s a good thing that it limits only to creature discards, or it could get out of hand (hahaha). I would say, slow down on the keywords. Lifelink, menace, and deathtouch, a bit much, making it feel a bit too strong in combination with 4+ power if you build your deck right. vizionarius - Steppe Steed: Temporary horsemanship and a small boost in exchange for 1 mana and a tapped 2/2 horse. Flavorful, simple, effective. Winner-time! The winner is: vizionarius Runner-ups: Idea and then twintania |

Thanks for the win! Tried to capture the feel of what a mount could look like. ------- Next: Show me some Brushwaggs! |

vizionarius : I got multiples; can I post them all, or do you just want the one? Swaggbrush the Maggnificent       Legendary Creature--Brushwagg  Vigilance, haste Each creature on the battlefield is a Brushwagg instead of its other types. Brushwagg creatures your team controls have trample, hexproof, and “Whenever this creature blocks a creature or becomes blocked by a creature, it gets +5/+5 until end of turn.” Whenever an opponent casts a non-Brushwagg spell, you may have target player create a 3/2 green Brushwagg creature token with “Whenever this creature blocks or becomes blocked, it gets -2/+2 until end of turn.” 4/5 Brushwagg Warlock  Creature--Brushwagg Warlock  Vigilance, trample Whenever Brushwagg Warlock attacks or blocks, it gets +3/-3 until end of turn. : Brushwagg Warlock gets +3/-3 until end of turn. ,  : Target creature gets -X/-X until end of turn, where X is Brushwagg Warlock’s power. When that creature dies this turn, put a +1/+1 counter on Brushwagg Warlock. 0/5 Flamewagg  Creature--Elemental Brushwagg First strike, trample, haste Whenever Flamewagg would be dealt damage for the first time in a turn or become the target of a spell or ability for the first time in a turn, it gets -4/+1 until end of turn instead. 7/1 Brainwagg Creature--Brushwagg  Vigilance Whenever Brainwagg blocks or becomes blocked, it gets +2/-2 until end of turn. Whenever a creature you control’s power and toughness change until end of turn, scry 1, then you may draw a card. 1/4 Wingwagg Creature--Brushwagg Flying, lifelink  : Put a +1/+1 counter on each of X target creatures with power and toughness each different from their printed powers and toughnesses. Those creatures each gain flying until end of turn. 2/2 Phew! After writing wagg so many times, I'm feeling a bit like a tail-wagged dog.

Reproducing Brushwagg  Creature - Brushwagg Whenever ~ becomes blocked, create a token copy of ~. The scholar who sought to find out Brushwagg reproductive methods returned bloodied and wiser. It was their last contribution to the field.1/3

Not 100% sure what you're implying here... First off, yes, I am comparing a puffball to an ejaculation. They're both a way to release massive amounts of spores in order to further the species. Secondly, I target your Protowagg with Fungal Infection; because of its 4th ability, it becomes a 1/1, meaning that it dies to a minor mycosis. |

Yep. I was aiming for an illusion-style "big and scary but more bark than bite" type of thing. But now we have brushwaggs instead. Natural selection folks! |

Delayed, but here it the feedback: sdfkjgh: We get the initial cast to a whole Swaggbrush commander/2HG deck! Nice! Swagg-bruh seems a little broken, granting all your side's creatures trample and hexproof and +5/+5 on block/blocking, seems quite a treat, even for CWUBRG! I like that it created more Shwaggs, though! The effects of the Gwagg and the Rwagg seem to be a somewhat flipped. Getting more defense at the cost of attack seems more G then R, and vice versa. But the mechanics both are quite good, and I like the theme going on with converting A->D and D->A as a thing that Waggers do. The Uwagg and Wwagg are quite nice too! Great names! pernicious: Love that flavor text! Hahah!  Fun card! Like how it plays on the Brushwagg flavor of things happening at combat, and plays well to it's brambliness by destroying things it touches. twintania: Nice one! I like the P/T-change ability, and the granting of flying. Untap for a single U feels a little cheap, but I like that it untaps. Also, good name! melono: This is a really neat effect! And the story in the flavor text is quite ominous indeed. Really like this, clean design. Idea: I like the concept, but there would need to be a change in the text to make it work; once you cast a spell, and it's an object on the board, it loses knowledge of X. So you'd need to have it enter the battlefield with some X (brush?) counters, or have it be "noted," then use the counters or the noted value to give the +X/+X. The "target me to become small" is an interesting drawback that might be a little too much of a drawback. Winner: sdfkjgh, with a bunch of great designs that flesh out what a Brushwagg is, with melono as runner-up for a nice, clean design. |

Thanks for the win! It almost feels like cheating, since I gave so much design. Teferi: Ixnay onyay ethay eatingchay. You want they should take away the win? Right, right. Sponge. Teferi: How the hell did that last bit get in there? Well, youtube doesn't have the full sketch, only a low-quality rip of an excerpt, so I wanted to provide a bit of context, and google only offers text or dailymotion, which doesn't allow links to specific points in its vids, and-- Teferi: Chimbomira kutaura usati watinyadzisa tose. I mean, you originally wanted to just post the single word "Sponge", and leave everyone to figure it out from there, but now you're just diluting your itinial message way past the point of homeopathy with links to a fake word, and calling attention to same. You're even confusing the issue with cringy self-referential, self-aware "comedy" and further tangential links. Uh, Teferi? I think all that mucking about with time travel has affected your brain. Teferi: Oh, don't change the subject, this is important! For years, you've been using me as a mouthpiece for your stuffy, anal-retentive side, tossing in a few random African langauges here and there, and I'm sick of it! I want no further part in your gribblerefineryfusebox! Wait, what was that last part? Say that again. Teferi: Fundthedancehellweownthefiddle. Dude, there's something seriously wrong here. Teferi: Apụghị m ịhụ azụ isi nke m! *Collapses* Ral: Oh my god, he's had a stroke! Someone call an ambulance! Hello, 911, my friend just suffered a massive aphasic stroke. He'd been messing about with Spirit-separation-assisted time travel recently, and now he's foaming at the mouth and seizing up! Ral, get him on his back, and put something in his mouth to bite down on so he doesn't lose his tongue, hurry! Ral: Oh god, why is his nose bleeding? WHY IS HIS NOSE BLEEDING?! Oh, thank god, the ambulance is here. Folks, I'ma hafta get back to you on this one. As I said before, your creature type is Sponge, I want a minimum of 3-5 cards, you have two weeks, after which I'll be judging, and updating you all on Teferi's condition. Ral: I don't care what you say, I'm riding with him! He's my best friend, and I'm not leaving his side! |

Idea : 234 notes: If you're gonna have -saurus in the name of a creature, unless that creature is an animated book or website of synonyms, it should also be a Dinosaur. I mean, you've already got it rocking a pseudo-enrage ability, so...Also, better templating would be "Combat damage is dealt to this creature in the form of +1/+1 counters." Also, also, because of this ability, it really shold be a rare. I don't know if you know this, but once the ukpeep step ends, you'd lose the mana produced by your Starsea Sponge. If this was intentional, nice expansion of a little-used idea (see what I did there?), but if not, and you want players to have better access to this mana, I suugest you change it to either "Until end of turn, you don't lose this mana as steps and phases end.", "You don't lose this mana as steps and phases end.", or "at the beginning of your next main phase." Please note that keeping it as-is is perfectly valid, as there are a number of upkeep abilities with associated mana costs; plus, it leaves it up to the player how best to utilize the mana before it's gone.

Note that Braid of Fire was printed when mana burn was around, so it really did burn you if you didn't have a way to spend the mana on your upkeep. |

Fun card! Like how it plays on the Brushwagg flavor of things happening at combat, and plays well to it's brambliness by destroying things it touches.
