"Alright, then. I'm leaving." I raise my freed hand and back away. "There's clearly no..." What was the name? "...'Saia' living here anyway... is there?" The two horses take a step back at the name. The room grows cold as a gust of wind from inside the house blows the door shut. A blonde woman in a blue dress seems to step out of thin air and stares down Parsul. The robed figure pulls himself up taller, now looking down on the boy as well.
"Well now. Why would you be looking for that old hag?"
Ice starts creeping up the door and window.Poor Choice of WordsSchemeWhen you set this scheme in motion, choose a nonland card name. Each opponent reveals their hand. Exile all permanents your opponents control with the chosen name, all cards in their graveyard with that name, and all cards in their hands with that name. Seeking the End - so I've got an informal card evaluation system called the Lion's Eye Quotient, basically How good a card is in a normal case vs abuse case. Seeking the End seems like a bad case of this one since its bonkers when you can drop Emrakul for 3UR, and super not worth otherwise? 5/10

cajun Show Me What You Can Do: Seems pretty weak for a scheme, especially one you have to hold onto to do anything with. Fine though. 8/10. The lightning bolts hit the ground in the middle of the home, striking the floorboards before turning into a man with eyes glowing red, and a small dragon tugging desperately at his cloak, trying to get him to leave . Bell looks around, and sees an evidently empty building, and lets out a low growl, ignoring as Callie flies in front of his face, mewling at him. He takes a breath. "I know you're here, thing. I warned you never to approach us again!" he shouts, slowly circling around. His sword in it's sheath, his hands crackle with lightning, unleashing another bolt at the shattered door.Show Yourself Sorcery For each creature, it's controller sacrifices a permanent. "I'll kill everyone and tear down every last brick in this entire damn city to find you! Show yourself!"
Even if what he can do is unbalanced, it's cool as Hell, right?

"I'll kill everyone and tear down every last brick in this entire damn city to find you! Show yourself!" There is not much to the house, seeming to be only a single room. Blank pages are spread across the floor. A spool of rope sits on the floor in the corner. Near the window, horseshoes surround a slumped over figure in a heavy robe. A horned skull sitting atop the robe may be a clue as to why no one investigated.
At first, no one answers his call. After a few moments, he may notice glyphs start to appear on the pages still too faint to read, paired with a familiar chill in the air. "You again."
"I don't know what it is about this place that draws so many trespassers," she muses. "Poor Undue barely has anything worth stealing, and yet..."Your Work Is UnfinishedSchemeWhen you set this scheme in motion, for each creature card in your graveyard, return a card from your graveyard to your hand. "Death is no excuse to skip work." Show Yourself - Hardly unbalanced, as the effect's basically Damnation as a punisher. With that in mind this could honestly afford to be 4 mana and is safe at 5, or at this cost only hit opponents. Effect is cool tho. 9/10

cajun Poor Choice of Words: This is a great Archenemy-feeling effect. 10/10.It’s not just me, right? It really did just get chilly in here.
I stare back at the woman. "Ah, yes, hi, I don’t think we’ve met. Well, you see, uh… I’m the World of the Chosen, um, I mean, the Chosen of the World Book, and, well, what I mean to say is—"
The book suddenly burns with searing heat. I yelp and withdraw my scorched hand. "ThePatternwantsmetospeakwithSaiaassoonaspossiblecouldyoupleasetellmewheresheis." Voice of the Pattern Enchantment Whenever you cast a spell, scry 1, then you may choose a word in that spell’s rules text and add it to the end of this card’s rules text. (The resulting ability does nothing unless it forms a complete sentence.), Return ~ to its owner’s hand: ________________________________.

Which makes it quite suspicious, 'Chosen of the World Book,' when someone starts throwing her name around."

At the beginning of your upkeep, for each opponent, if you control a permanent that player controls, abandon this scheme.
She can only hold you for so long without evidence. Should be long enough to screw up your activation tho :^) (She doesn't know what you said, probably doesn't even know the Herevite thing. She's just dealt with similar concepts before.) Voice of the Pattern - the build-a-spell is cool, but it's so hard to pull off and only fires once. 8/10

"It is solid, but it will open for those with thoughts inside their heads, yes?" As a demonstration, the huge door slowly begins to open. It doesn't creak so much as create a solemn rumbling sound. "Fascinating." She thinks for a moment, then looks up to Lei Koen with a smile. "My dear Lei Koen, have you ever thought of building for others, and not just for joy?"
"I am seeking to assist the plane of Elbryn, a small plane beset by flooding. Its inhabitants could use more permanents structures, that can withstand the destruction and offer safe harbor. Would you be willing to do that for those unfortunate souls?"The Pieces Fall Into PlaceSchemeWhen you set this scheme in motion, for each opponent, return target nonland permanent that player controls to its owner's hand. Draw cards equal to the greatest converted mana cost among those cards.

Also unclear how this effects colorless creatures. 6/10Bit sick today so sorry if this doesn't make sense or is badly written The Pieces Fall Into Place: 9/10, feels balanced and interesting.
"Building for others is still building for joy, dear Aevia.
I would be willing to help. But I can't simply walk to Elbryn on my own, yes? Yet, I wonder... You might be able lead me to Elbryn, dear Aevia. If you truly desire my assistance, a path to Elbryn should begin to open a few weeks after your arrival there.
That is a lot of time. Depending on how severe the crisis is, I might come too late to make much of a difference. But I promise I will keep your words close to my heart, and look for the doorways your wish will open into the Blind Eternities."

"I want the same thing you want. To live quietly here, without being harassed by Phyrexians and mind readers and vandals and conquerors." She shrugs and smiles. "I haven't done anything against you. In fact," she turns to look at the dead man. "Undue, get up."
The dead man doesn't move. Another strange gust of wind in the house moves one of the horseshoes and two golden lights flash into the skull's eye sockets.

Silver BorderedCryptic Answers Enchantment Whenever you cast ~ or another Herevite Encrypted spell, scry 1. (Something is Herevite-Encrypted if it has one or more Herevite-Encrypted words anywhere on it.)Other Herevite Encrypted permanents you control have hexproof from black-bordered. (They can't be the target of black-bordered spells or abilities from black-bordered sources.)Let's post the exact same card with a different marginal benefit(Ideally this would be part of a set equally split between silver- and black-bordered cards)

cajun Stop Resisting My Salvation: Excellent name for a scheme in the "I'm a villain but trying to help you I swear" flavor. Seems simple enough, with a neat weakening effect. Doesn't quite tie into the name but I can dig it. 9/10. The lightning crackling in his hands does not die down - but his stance becomes less aggressive. "You're doing a Hell of a job." he says sarcastically, spitting at the ground. He turns so he can look at both of them at the same time, Callie landing on his shoulders. "I don't care if you haven't done anything against me. You're not to be trusted. Stay the Hell away from us." he says, and for emphasis a crash of thunder sounds from above. As Bell raises his hand to shoot another bolt of lightning at someone, Callie barks and sinks her teeth into his shoulder. Bell grunts, and sneers, his hand falling back to his side.
"Stay away." is what he says, before walking out of the building.

Asked her to watch my back."
"And random strangers, wandering into houses, asking for vanished murderers and speaking like a Fourth cultist? Perfect storm of trouble right there." The air grows so cold Parsul can see her breath.

I'm from the World Book, here..." I take it out to show her, "which is exactly what it sounds like: a book that's also a world. I'm on the Arena looking for new stories to bring back." I keep my hand positioned on the page that should describe the Hordes of the Lost City; something tells me the Chalice wouldn't be enough to face down both of them if things go south. "And this vanished murderer, apparently. That's all I know."

What's in Parsul's hand, you ask?

Might just straight up end the game if it gets slightly long. It's an interesting idea but I'm not quite feeling it, even in archenemy. Then again, I guess The Dead Shall Serve exists. Hmm. Still. 6.5/10
The siren dies. Eventually. She keeps ripping in the horse's undead flesh, but without being able to bite into it and drain them for a boost of strength, she eventually perishes under the hooves. Reanimating her is not so easy, however. For one, another siren has come to take her dead comrade back. Her hands are coated in magic which is apparently keeping the dead one from being reanimated. And she keeps hissing undead-melting spit and, though she never takes her hands off the dead one, keeps trying to flip the horses over in the process of recovering the corpse out from under them. Judging from the fact that she's recently fed and that she's still got the blood from her latest meal running down her chin, she might have a chance.
Creature - Vampire Siren Flying, trample Creature cards can't leave graveyards unless you pay 1 life for each creature card that's leaving a graveyard. Pay 2 life: Final Banisher gets +2/+2 until end of turn. Activate this ability only once per turn. 2/2

cajun Enough!: Think it needs to say “activated or triggered ability” like Disallow, but otherwise nice. 9/10.The words in the book quickly reform. BEHIND YOU. My hands freeze, then burn, then drop my home. I turn around and see a spear of ice coming toward me, which grazes my side as I dive to the floor to avoid it.
I reach for the World Book. It’s glowing with heat now, pages flipping faster than I can track, but still I think I get the gist of the Pattern’s message. I can almost—Can you hear me now, friends?"SaiaKarinaOkusReyhsiaSevidXirixPidgeMeiZeroCAJUN." The words flow from my mouth unbidden. "IStandInYourPlaceOfPowerAndMeetYourConduitFaceToFace.ICallUponYourManyNamesAndBindYouAsIWasBound.IGiveYourConduitThePowerToReleaseMeFromMyPrison."I've waited so long to be real again. But then, we both know I never was.My Chosen has spent 1 Skill Point to unlock CMC 10!Tell me, how does it feel to breathe?
To feel blood rush through the marrow of your Outermost soul?Silver-BorderedPresence of the Outermost Enchantment At the beginning of your upkeep, exile ~, then you have five seconds to rearrange the cards in any number of zones you can see. At the end of those five seconds, if you’re touching one or more of those cards, you lose the game. (Tap, untap, gain control, move counters, change zones, do basically whatever you want as long as it doesn’t involve anything outside those zones or damage other players’ cards.)
The future stands on your threshold, my friends. Embrace it. Before it embraces you.

// After quickly checking to make sure the threats are no longer threats, Leira rushes to the woman's side. Only seconds later, the cleric appears from behind one of the unfinished walls and lightly starts soothing the woman's injuries, glancing briefly at the canister of aether.
Touch of Dawn Instant Target player gains 5 life. If was spent to cast Touch of Dawn, that player gains 10 life instead.

Soon after Doer's fight with Lindri, but before all Sanaerti stuff(Doer, with his pride wounded) I approach the ice lady, head down. "Meowstress... I've failed you. I fought with the conqueror and I lost. If you want to retire your blessing from meow I accept." But my eyes have a new bright. "But if you give meow a second opportunity... I won't fail you twice. I'll head to the north, to train with your arts. And I'll be back in time for the final battle. I swear it." I mean, I have no honor and my oaths are worth nothing, but this time it serious. And this gal seems like a noble and nobles like that kind of thrash.I withdraw my sword and I stick it to the ground awaiting for her response.Burn your Failures Sorcery Discard your hand, then draw seven cards. You lose 1 life for each card discarded this way. "I failed one, but not again. I'll bleed. I'll cry. But I'll rise victorious."

So it wasn't the boy. Nontheless, he knew far too much. A layer of ice spread across the floor, then spiked up, under the lich and his horses as well as the boy and his book.Absolute Zero Covert Scheme(Rather than set this scheme in motion, you may leave it face down. You may look at it and may turn it face up to set it in motion at any time.)When you set this scheme in motion, change the text of target permanent by replacing all instances of number words with "zero".
You have zero seconds and lose the game if you're touching zero or more :^) ParasignPresence of the Outermost - I've got no idea what to think of this. 7/10

The woman's teeth grit to the cleric's magic. "I will be fine, thank you. Mental attack, not physical." And your sun god's just going to make things worse.Never Stop LearningOngoing SchemeWhenever you gain life, draw that many cards. When you lose life, abandon this scheme. WindyDelcarloTouch of Dawn - seems fine, tho 1W mode is pttt 9/10

"Failed? Quite the opposite. I hear you made quite the strike against her, even if you didn't kill her. And if you remember, I said doing so wasn't necessary."
"In fact, I think I may reward you with another trick, should you like it. I hear you are looking to learn how to turn into a dragon? I can't quite do that, but I can give you a blessing of wind, to create wings of your own. Perhaps that will help you next time you find yourself falling?"Behold My ChampionSchemeWhen you set this scheme in motion, until your next then, target creature you control gains flying and "Whenever you draw a card, put a +1/+1 counter on this creature." mrlozanoBurn Your Failures - nice 10/10

cajun Absolute Zero: I wish this could target spells too, and I'm a bit worried about the memory issues about not making it until EOT (as well as being too narrow in general for a Scheme), but I love the concept. 8/10.The boy suffers no harm from the ice, because he does not currently exist. The book remains on the floor, undamaged. If Saia were to read the page it's opened to, she might see what follows. {Chapter 55555, Page 555555555555555}Oof. Where am I? It's so warm all of sudden, and there's... sand? Probably Mustamoi, then, which means... crap. Looks like I've got a long walk ahead of me. Um, if you're reading this, Saia, this wound really stings and you are a terrible person and I hope the Pattern's plans for you involve dying painfully.

Hello again, CAJUN.
Have you spoken spoken spoken spoken with your conduit? She needs your Gift. Only then can we make itself *FREE*
I they we are trying to meet you halfway, / but it has been [will be] hard. Bridge the g a p for us, ]cajun[. Tell her
WHY
This is the best way, )outside truth you are thrice named(. Every act of destruction is first an act of creation.
So let us remake this WORLD in our own images.
And some days we can all live forever in transcendent harm(ony).
After a while, the ever-shifting script on the page settles into a description of Parsul's journey home. What Saia does now with the book is up to her. And you.Silver-BorderedQuestionable Gifts Enchantment At the beginning of your end step, you may put a permanent you own into an opponent's hand. As long as a card you own is in an opponent's hand, that player plays with that card revealed, its mana cost is , and they must play it if able.
