pacifistwestwoman Deepsea Processor: Using investigate instead of straight card draw helps, but I'm still a bit unsettled by the potential for infinite combos here, and the phyrexian mana feels unnecessary. I do like the idea of discard triggers like this in theory, though. 8/10.

And I haven't had flesh in years, but don't tell the natives that; they don't seem quite so open-minded as we are." She looks back down at her severed leg, which twitches in response. Satisfied, she extracts the icebox and puts it back beneath her cloak, then reattaches her leg to its stump."So, if you don't eat… what do you do for entertainment? Or are you all just zombies?"

Her voice betrays a hint of disappointment at the thought. Dieule seems disappointed in its experience, but reacts positively upon Troishca returning the infected organ to her cloak. "So, if you don't eat… what do you do for entertainment? Or are you all just zombies?"It seems confused, and almost offended. "Entertainment? The Phyrexians do not have entertainment, apart from our work and service. Which is why I'm here. New Phyrexia is a plane full of warriors without a war. But I would not call us "zombies". Zombies are mindless creatures, blindly serving the will of their masters... Alright, some of us are zombies."

This could be a rare, but even at rare it wouldn't be great. Assuming we're only using the sac ability to put +1/+1 counters on her, we're paying 7 mana and sacrificing five artifacts for a 10/10 that has no abilities until we pay more mana and sacrifice more artifacts. Dieule parries the chain, pushing it one direction while moving in the other. It then sits and watches, amazed by the transformation. "An exquisite transformation, and a wondrous form. Perhaps this will be... fun."Each of Dieule's legs shift, becoming more heavily armored and sharper than they were before. The two back legs reveal integrated cannons designed to shoot upward, though these are quickly retracted. "It would be ill advised to use ichor in a match such as this, wouldn't it? Oh well. I do still have other attacks, I suppose."

It feels white but not black, but gives Ethereal Absolution vibes which makes it work in WB. Dieule retreats from beneath the dust, using oil to cover parts that could not get out of the way. (If dust getting on the oil would cause it to also begin floating, then it does) "I have seen what your sister-in-arms tried to do to this place, I will not let you do the same to me!"

Alga, the Persistent Legendary Creature - Faerie Flash Flying Whenever a nontoken creature with flying you control dies, create a 1/1 white Faerie creature token with flying. 1/2 I like it, but: The trigger doesn't reeeally feel green, and two flash flyers for 2 mana seems just barely too much, especially in green. The tendril is hit by the poisoned dart, but remains unshaken until the healing spell begins to take effect. The oil removes itself from the faerie it was previously holding, and turns its attention to the aggressor faerie. The other tendril is not causing serious pain to its hostage, mostly just restraining and tossing her around, though the oil is beginning to latch on to her. As Alga flies towards the fight, the oil beneath her at first seems to have not changed, though not far behind her, the oil has gone from black to dark green. Dieule is blinded by Briar's burst, and takes a couple of steps back to avoid follow-up attacks. "Some people are nice enough to accept the gifts that are given to them. Clearly, we are not dealing with such people." The machine coats itself in a new sheet of oil before firing at Briar.

The tendril is hit by the poisoned dart, but remains unshaken until the healing spell begins to take effect. The oil removes itself from the faerie it was previously holding, and turns its attention to the aggressor faerie. The other tendril is not causing serious pain to its hostage, mostly just restraining and tossing her around, though the oil is beginning to latch on to her. As Alga flies towards the fight, the oil beneath her at first seems to have not changed, though not far behind her, the oil has gone from black to dark green. Dieule is blinded by Briar's burst, and takes a couple of steps back to avoid follow-up attacks. "Some people are nice enough to accept the gifts that are given to them. Clearly, we are not dealing with such people." The machine coats itself in a new sheet of oil before firing at Briar. The oil shot catches Briar in the chest, shoving her back a short way and making her drop her ballista bolt, but not taking the largest of the faeries out of the sky. She spins and dives to shake off some of the oil and recover her bolt in one motion. The freed faerie falls to the ground, struggling to keep the landing light. She tries to get the oil off of her, only for it to blacken her hands instead. The aggressor faerie flits around to avoid the tendril, moving to bait it into wrapping around the other.
"You've got a funny way of giving gifts," Briar says as she lined up the next shot, "we tend to shoot people we don't like." A much smaller amount of light flashed around her as she fired for the machine's eye once more. Blind Fire Instant Target creature gets -X/-X until end of turn, where X is the number of tapped permanents its controller controls. In war, no one can hear you scream.
Drowning Ichor - I like it, but not sure what is mana wise ( ,  , ?) which is kinda relevant given Torpor Orb. this is 7/10 if that's or 2 life and 9/10 if it's or . |

I was going for , but also I didn't realize that the forums/MSE had symbols that Wizards hasn't defined. Blind Fire: 10/10. I would love to play this in a blue black control deck. The machine stares into Briar's eyes as it moves out of the way of her bolt. "Then allow me to show you what I do to people I don't like." Dieule stomps the ground, and from its feet comes a wave of oil, only a foot tall, though it leaves a thick coat on the ground beneath it. More tendrils, though smaller, begin to rise from it, two of them approaching the recently freed faerie, and two more going towards the aggressor. The large, empty tendril appears to notice the smaller ones, and tries to force the aggressor into their grasp. One small tendril is left to face Alga. "I've only used a small amount of oil on my opponents thus far. I consider it a courtesy to be brought into Phyrexia's light, and this cannot be done if they die. But, let's conduct an experiment, shall we? How many drops does it take to drown a faerie?"

But, let's conduct an experiment, shall we? How many drops does it take to drown a faerie?"The wave engulfs the freed faerie, knocking her back. Her wings quickly buzz, throwing off the oil from them, and she flees from the tendrils and the fight completely. Alga flies up, the oil wave barely touching her leg as she goes to join the aggressor faerie. Together, the two try to pull the trapped faerie free, and will quickly follow the fleeing faerie if they do.
Briar sneered at the machine and her own fleeing soldiers. She wouldn't be able to win this battle alone, but she wasn't going out without one final blow...
Faerie dust gathered again, this time a very dark color, forming around her like a storm cloud. She flies higher as she chants.
"I call on judgement from the throne, To strike down forces yet unknown, Let living flesh, cold steel, and bone,
Be step by step, turned back to stone!"
// At the final word, the collected dust surges for Dieule, if they're still here. If the curse works, Dieule will be very slowly turned to stone. Or perhaps it will backfire and only make
the machine even tougher...
Legendary Enchantment - Aura Curse  Enchant opponent Whenever enchanted player casts a spell, put a curse counter on The Fae Queen's Curse. Then that player loses X life unless they pay  , where X is the number of curse counters on The Fae Queen's Curse. , Discard three cards: Destroy The Fae Queen's Curse. Any player may activate this ability.
that can go as fast or slow or be worked around (or just plain dodged) as you like. is based on an actual disease where your muscles and other tissue slowly turns to bone over time. Overdrive Core - looks good 8/10 |
