The broken fool seems to still be searching for their home plane. I suppose with their corrupted memory, they could not return. The surest lure then would be the promise of another clue to the location of Spark Labs. While my corrosives are brewing, I can take this opportunity to fabricate such a lead. However, it would have to be delivered by proxy. The question now is whether I acquire such a proxy in earnest or deceit—which would depend on whether such theatrics are possible. Let us begin with creating the "plot hook", if some material can be found.
Lettie next directs her network to help her search for one of the miniature drones, currently operable or not, in the hopes of collecting one for herself; even near-scraps would do. Lettie centers her personal search on the site of Kaira's death. She is prioritizing those sending an emergency transmission about Prototype Zero. This will likely take longer than sending informants to approach Zero.
Sorcery  Search target opponent's library for a card and exile it face down. Then that player shuffles. You may look at and play that card for as long as it remains exiled. Create two Treasure tokens. Lettie's personal search turns up nothing. The bits and scraps of the bomb-bots have been swept away by someone or something in the months since their arrival. A small number of the emergency transmission drones had arrived during Zero's absence, but now, each of them were unaccounted for. Lettie may also hear rumors of a similar drone that did not broadcast anything, and takes great care to shake any pursuers, unlike the emergency drones which just trundle on in a straight line regardless of their surroundings. Clean Up the Pieces   Instant  Each token that would be created under an opponent’s control this turn is created under your control instead.
interacting with that first bit is hard so stealing your treasure tokensEach Has Their Price - weird tutor. cost is prob around right compared with diabolic. 8/10 |

She will have it hunted down, and will obtain her first proxy doing so.
Clean Up the Pieces — Offcolour buyback is a striking choice, though I'm not really certain what it's doing here. Otherwise, this is an interesting design. 8/10

(guest system) "Oh ho! There it is!" he shouts. He pulls his staff back and the strong winds catapult him up and away. "Show me what you got!" he yells once more as flames begin to envelop the winds he rode away on. He begins to make motions as if he was dancing, and the wind and fire follow suit. He seems to be waiting for an opening to utilize it, however.
Defensive Wards   Instant Dawn (You may pay   rather than pay this spell's mana cost.)You gain Ward  until end of turn, where X is the number of colors of mana spent to cast this spell. Draw a card. Rip From Space: Cascade (while this character will probably have it) cards are really hard to judge. 4 or less isn't too oppressive, but this is effectively a 0-for-2 that costs anywhere between 1-4. I like the CFA idea though. 7/10. Zero jumps back from the flames and watches the stranger's patterns. More rifts open above him and Zero shoves her arm into a rift beside her. The rocks she had caught now tumbled back down to the ground over him. Sorcery Meteor Shower can't be countered. You may put a land card from your hand onto the battlefield. Meteor Shower deals X damage to any target, where X is 2 plus the number of lands that have entered the battlefield under your control this turn.
Defensive Wards - little w ward, but nice 9/10
Realizing the situation he has found himself in, there are very few ways out. He quickly raises his arms up as he sees rocks start coming out of the rifts. With his arms' motion, he is pushed down, creating a pit, with the earth closing over him. The fire tornado he wielded before drifts off angrily, but not with any purpose. It may or may not disperse before catching something on fire, but it is of no mind to him. He still takes the brunt of the counter, but nothing too major. The ground begins to rumble a bit. All around Zero, as if the air or ground is reverberating, he speaks. "So, you have at least the speed of a rabbit and the wits of a boar!"Sporadically, but closing in on Zero, the ground begins to burst as scalding hot water and steam shoots out of the ground. If Zero can focus through it or escape it, she may be able to notice what seems to be the burrowing of a large creature, as he moves away from where he last was in hopes to dodge another rift attack.
Geyser Reply Instant Dawn Whenever you cast ~, if you have taken at least 3 damage this turn, you may copy this spell. Converge--Deal X damage divided as you choose among any number of targets, where X is the amount of colors of mana spent to cast this spell. Meteor Shower: I like it. A little bit of ramp, a little bit of removal. I think I'd prefer it to be instant but only hit creatures, but that's just personal preference. The card is great. 10/10. |

"Well good luck with your endeavor." Impossible to tell if this guy is starting a military or a cult. "But I do not wish to join this guild from your limited descriptions." Ecoshift   Instant Choose a basic land type. Any number of target lands you control become the chosen type until end of turn.
blank your islandwalkIceshard Merrow - that's a lotta upside on a bear which blue doesn't really get, and its freezeout makes it quite a trick to come back from 6/10
"Fair Enough." Arcanis commented with a wave. "If you change your mind come find me." Arcanis ripped open space, and was gone the next second. A clever observer would be able to tell that this was not a planeswalk. Echoshift: needs to probably be rare at least and likely should be 3-4 mana to change the land types entirely of any number of lands. Additionally removing it's unblockability doesn't do much if you don't have a blocker. Still a cool color shifting card I guess. 5/10 |

Given a moment while the geysers keep Zero busy, the man gathers the nearby aether. As he gathers more, the aether seems to condense into a large Giant-sized humanoid figure. A golem, made entirely of mana. As the geysers fade away, the golem seems to be finished, letting out a bellowing roar. The man uses a bit more magic to launch himself out of the ground and onto the golem's shoulder. He could feel his power running short, and if Zero can get a close enough look at him, it may even be apparent. "I did not come here with nearly enough to contest you! You're lucky, you know!? You might just stand a chance!" He points his staff forward, and the hulking figure lumbers towards Zero.
Mana Golem Creature - Golem Avatar ~ is all colors. (Even if this card isn't in play.)~ enters the battlefield with X +1/+1 counters on it. If all 5 colors of mana were spent to cast ~, it enters with twice that many counters instead. 0 / 0 Deft Dodge: Roo much for one mana at uncommon. Variability by itself is already a huge bonus, and entwine just adds to this (albeit hard to get targets to make all 3 at the same time worth as much as each instance individually). This is basically a charm, but all 3 modes are very good (ephemerate is played in modern right now, and this is just strictly better on many fronts), on the level of 2 or 3 cost charms in my opinion, and even they don't have entwine. Could probably be rare and get away with it? Still really enjoy the design however. 8/10. |

As Zero sprints at the golem, the man raises his staff. The golem's arm raises, winding up for a swing when Zero closes in. The speed at which Zero closed, however, causes an entire miss. With the force of the downwards swing and the loss of balance in losing some matter in the heel, the golem falls forward. The man topples a bit, but catches his footing before he falls off, standing up proper on the golem's shoulder. "Ah, does this inspire confidence? How long can you keep this up!?"As the mana in the air around the golem's wound begins to heal, the man prepares for a counterattack to buy time. He swings his staff horizontally outward and a wave of shadows leaps from him towards Zero, hoping to catch any approach. Suspecting more rifts, he readies himself for a melee counterattack, though if you look close enough, he doesn't look too confident in his ability to fend it off for long.
Infusion of Power Instant Target creature gets +1/+1 until end of turn for each of its colors. Until end of turn, target creature gets vigilance if it is white, flying if it is blue, menace if it is black, haste if it is red, and trample if it is green. Bring Down: Obviously, I'm slightly biased as I've been dabbling a lot with converge designs and I never even considered this. That said, I love this. Not all that strong without the full color display, but not lacking either. Missing an "until end of turn." Uncommon fits perfectly. 10/10. |

Blanch Instant Target creature becomes colorless. Destroy all artifacts and enchantments attached to it. Seeing the lightning charge up, he knew he had to act fast. However, the golem had taken a lot out of his dwindling supply. This plane was not overflowing with mana as he was used to and he had spent a lot very quickly. It was decision time and he had made his. "You win this time! I'll be back!" the man shouts, blinking out of existence. He had planeswalked away. The golem began to slowly disperse back into the surrounding mana.
Blanch: Decent card. Colorless bit is extremely niche, but its also costed as such. 9/10. |

Neeyo carries the smashed creation back to her "workshop." It was something shoddy, vaguely professional looking tools littered around a very hastily rigged up location. She had been meaning to tidy it a bit before use, but here we are. Setting the bot down on the table, Neeyo ponders. What makes you tick? I've seen several different iterations of metal creatures in my travels. There are many ways of reaching essentially the same end. So how do you work?
Holding her hand out, the little blue homunculus waddles over, putting a tool into her hand. Neeyo takes the tool and begins to try to disassemble the bot further.

Neeyo carries the smashed creation back to her "workshop." It was something shoddy, vaguely professional looking tools littered around a very hastily rigged up location. She had been meaning to tidy it a bit before use, but here we are. Setting the bot down on the table, Neeyo ponders. What makes you tick? I've seen several different iterations of metal creatures in my travels. There are many ways of reaching essentially the same end. So how do you work?
Holding her hand out, the little blue homunculus waddles over, putting a tool into her hand. Neeyo takes the tool and begins to try to disassemble the bot further.
Assistant Homunculus Creature - Homunculus Whenever an artifact enters the battlefield under your control for the first time each turn, you may pay . If you do, draw a card. 1 / 1On Neeyo's inspection, she will find the bot is covered in small solar cells that provide much of the power to the device. A semicircle of the cells are dead, Neeyo may be able to discern they were crushed. The power is no longer connecting into the device, if it can still produce enough. In the internals of the bot, there is an empty socket, ringed by a small black burn mark.

Neeyo, maybe or maybe not knowing what a solar cell is, does at least realize the lack of a complete power source is a part of the issue. She seeks for whatever method transmitted the power before and attempts to reroute the remaining power source to the rest of the bot. Failing this, she'll attempt to use one of her few portable power sources on her, etherium cells given to her by Sharuum, hoping to provide it with power at least for a bit. With those being as precious as they are however, she will be ready to stop it should it give signs of fleeing or exploding.

For better or worse is unknown. The fact that it can convert anything into colorless is nice, though usually a moot point. Outside of abusing it, however, it is kind of unexciting. 8/10 |

Zero looked out to the voice. It seemed like every last person on this plane was hiding from her. "I am trying to find what created these tracks," Zero says tersely.

I'm worried that it's too cheap, but I like the effects. Atlani walked out of the brush towards Zero, bow slung over her shoulder. "Evidently we're searching for the same thing." She gives a quick bow, then glances at Zero's wires and missing arm. "I am Atlani Swiftblade. Is this machine a friend of yours? "Cooperative Scouting Sorcery Each opponent may draw a card.

I like that the name references the fact that it punishes devotion. "Who I've been sent by is confidential. It is a rare case that I reveal my clients: I usually assume that they wish to remain anonymous. While I would also withhold the reason that I've been hired, I suppose I am uncertain why the client would want it. A smaller drone was stating a message about some prototype being missing, so perhaps its related to that."Pain of Secrecy Sorcery Search your library for three cards, then put them face down into two piles. An opponent chooses one of them. Put those cards into your hand and the rest into your graveyard. |
