It didn't take long before about a dozen faeries, particularly more insectlike than most, buzzed within sight of the hive...followed by a familiar red-headed trouble maker. Her entourage seemed to be carrying something with them.. "I heard she might be over here, but I don't know if we'll be greeted warmly after last time..." the young lady said worriedly, with a few unintelligible replies from her faerie companions. {Gift???

"You... don't know what a spark is. Hm. Well that's unfortunate, one less planeswalker to research, she seems friendly too. I suppose I can still ask a few questions about her plane, maybe even get directions..." She trails off, seemingly unaware that Briar is still hovering in front of her and waiting for a proper response. "Ah! I'm sorry, lost my train of thought there. A spark is something that a tiny number of people are born with, apparently at random. If someone with a spark goes through an event that has a great impact on them, such as achieving a lifelong goal or nearly dying, there's a chance their spark will ignite. You're likely familiar with what happens after that. The new planeswalker is thrown from their plane into another, seemingly at random, and gains the capability to walk between the planes. Planes-walker, you see? An ignited spark also has a number of other smaller benefits, but I don't want to bore you with a proper lecture." During this explanation, Simul pulls a second notebook from one of her many pockets, and quickly flips to a page covered in swirling illustrations of figures moving across what could be stylized planets, tapping various parts of it with the wrong end of her pen. "Now, if all that made sense, I really would like to hear a detailed description of where you come from, especially the flora and fauna." "Planeswalkers are... realm-walkers?" Briar asks, possibly redundantly from Simul's perspective. "So they can get to the faerie realm on their own?"
"How would they be put in another realm 'at random' if there are only two realms, maybe three if the wisps are going there but...."

Little more than a dozen faeries flitted around the tree decorated with papery structures and shiny things stolen from across the Arena and the ring of flowers surrounding it, most of them female, but with one or two smaller males ones now, though sticking closer to the tree. They buzz around as Seska approaches, with three of them picking up their ballistas and flying closer to confront the intruders.

"For Briar, if she's still here," Seska declared, making a quick gesture to the floral arrangement. "For the last time I was here. Also, do you have to be some aggressive with those?"The lead fae was taken aback, and at the motion of a faerie beside her, unarmed faeries flew over to collect the flowers. "Commander Briar is not here at the moment, but we will let her know you have presented an offering."
"As for your escorts, it is a grave insult, tantamount to a threat, for a rival court to arrive at a nest without invitation. You may not know that... but they certainly would." Her eyes narrow at the other faeries.

uhhhhhh dunno what to do so i'll set this here and you can decide if Ani has more to poke and they'll deal with that later or if they're done nowPassing Lights seems like it might be best for just picking up with another copy of Passing Lights for many ETBs; or maybe a full flash deck can make some use out of the blocker that can be picked up mid-combat. 8/10 |

A crying faerie returned to the tree, everything but her wings completely drenched in oil. Other faeries darted to her, clearing away some of the oil and directing her to one of the tree's structures, to where the first faerie who had encountered the machine now sat. While the others had gotten the oil off of her, her skin remained stained where it had hit her, and she intermittently coughed as the faeries attended to the newcomer.
Vikrei attempted to break into the sick bay, cursing the sick faeries for dropping the stuff on one of her namesake flowers. The caretaking faeries refused her entry, as a third faerie had joined them, sickened after helping the sick faeries. Their leader sent her back to her guard duty, making sure to hide her own stained skin from Vikrei.

Some months ago...
Briar spun as she sped through the bitter air, causing the dim early spring morning to spiral into a rainbow of colors around her. The dull mortal world faded away behind her, and the spinning colors broke to a field of blooming flowers, with her patches of her namesake growing all around it, guarding the helpless blooms from the outside world. As she flew on, the tiny buds grew and grew, becoming flower, bushes, trees, and finally, a towering red flower bloom at the center of it all, dozens of smaller faeries buzzing around it and leaving it to tend to the field surrounding it. The seat of the Bloom Court. The home of her most beloved Queen.
She flew to the giant rose, darting in between the petals. The spaces in between the layered petals wove around like hallways, with occasional openings allowing access deeper down. Briar could have flown the path with her eyes closed, if not for all the faeries flying around in here with her. A stunt for another time. She flitted on, layer after layer, until finally coming to the center. The edges of the innermost petal towered far into the sky, closing at a point to keep the room closed off from the inside. A green throne grew in the center of the room, with the fae queen atop it, buzzing to several smaller faeries floating around her. After a few moments, she caught sight of Briar and waved them away, the small faeries scattering to the edges of the flowery throne room. Briar finally landed to take a deep bow before her queen, before flying up to face her, careful to stay lower than she sat.
Had she been standing, she would stand two or three heads taller than Briar, leaving her imposing even while sitting back on her throne. A small crown of vines was woven into her hair than grew far longer than any other faerie could manage and fly at the same time. Her purple eyes looked down to Briar expectantly as she smiled.
"My dear Commander Briar, what brings you here so early?"
Briar returned a far wider grin, "My Queen, I bring the news of another fallen arm of the Moon Court. The witch... Commander Hazel has retreated back to the seat of their court. You will have your full power any day now!"
"Has she now? It would seem that Commander Briar has done the same. Perhaps she is not the victor she thinks she is?" Her smiled remained, taking out some of the sting of her accusation.
"I—She—I wanted to be sure to tell you myself." She planted her fists on her hips. "You have a battalion now holding an ex-Moon stronghold, that is a victory even if her commander has gone to claim further, or convene with her Queen."
She laughed lightly. "Easy, Briar. Your efforts are most appreciated. I, and the Court of course, owe you so much, and..." The queen's wings flittered silently and she flew around Briar. She held her breath as the queen looked down to her. "And I believe we will be able to return your devotion soon enough." She sank back into her throne as Briar's grin grew.
"You mean it, Milii?"
The queen's smile vanished. There was a buzz at the edges of the room.
"M...my Queen." Briar stammered. The queen's smile returned.
"If your results continue to be as superb as they have been. Perhaps you will even earn the right to use that name again."
"Yes, my Queen! I shall get back to the Moon Court at once! It will be the fastest spring they have ever seen!" She bowed in the air, then tore off out of the red room.
Briar has unlocked convene. (You may tap any number of untapped creatures and/or planeswalkers you control as you cast this spell.)

Some months ago...Briar marveled at the field surrounding the Bloom Court buzzing with hundreds, possibly thousands of faeries. She'd never seen this many in one place before. Even the most crowded battles of the fae were never fought by more than a few dozen, and even the current queen's coronation had not been so attended. Certainly there was something more than an early spring causing this, but she wasn't sure what yet. She fidgeted with a rose bloom in her hair that her queen had insisted she wore as proof of her swift victory over the Moon Court. Briar had a number of Moon trophies she had offered to wear instead, but if her queen wanted a rose, she would get a rose.
Many faeries flocked to her to see the new Bloom Court Commander, asking questions of her victories and her queen, both she was eager to discuss, until after some time when a male faerie about half her height flew up to her.
"Commander Briar, miss, the Queen requests your presence." She made a small noise that earned her a strange look before taking off towards the towering rose at the center of the blooming field.
The Queen was spending a rare day outside her towering rose of the Bloom Court. She flitted lightly in the air, flanked on her left and right with a number of other faeries, each slightly larger than Briar, and, strangely, wearing a rose just as Briar was. Smaller male faeries buzzed around, waiting on the line of faeries.
"You see," the Queen said to her entourage. "Is she not a perfect fit?" A grin beaming with confidence and trying to hide a touch of embarrassment meant the stares of the other faeries inspecting the commander. There were some murmurs that Briar wasn't paying much attention to over the voice of her Queen. "Of course, it will be unfortunate to take such a fine commander away from her post, but I'm sure we will be able to figure something out."
"Take me away?" Briar questioned, "I don't intend to leave, my Queen."
She waved a hand at Briar, "Not leave, of course not. Just elevate you to your proper station. We've never had one remain a commander, but," she looked to the faeries around her, "we may be able to make an exception for such an exceptional one. Details for another day. For now, stay, eat, and of course, listen. If you are going to be a true commander, or greater, there is a lot to learn."
"Stay, where, exactly?" Briar asked, accepting a flower filled with some unusual liquid in it from one of the buzzing males. The Queen smiled and gestured next to her, which Briar eagerly flitted to, while still careful to keep her flight below the head of her Queen.
"If I may ask, who are these other fae? They seem...important though I've never seen them before."
"A lot to learn," she repeated. "In their own way, they too are queens of the Bloom Court."
"But you're the Que—" one of Briar's hands snapped to her mouth as she realized she was interrupting her Queen. She did not seem to mind, and continued.
"Indeed, I am the Queen. But the Bloom Court, all the Courts, have grown larger than a single queen can handle. There are many other meadows holding many faeries of the Bloom Court, though many have only arrived here on this very day, to celebrate your success. Should you remain a commander, you will become well acquainted with them, and their own, not quite as accomplished commanders."
"Why would I not remain a commander?"
"As I said, only to elevate you to your proper position, should you prove worthy of it, which we will find before you know it..."
Briar has unlocked soulbond.

Some months ago...
Briar uneasily flitted into her Queen's chamber. In the days since the celebration of the Bloom Court, she had heard nothing from her, but had suddenly been summoned after the silence. "You wanted to see me, my Queen?"
"Of course, Briar." She flew down from her towering throne and Briar froze. The Queen did not come down to meet anyone. As the Queen circled around her, Briar noticed the Queen felt... shorter. It must have just been her coming down. "It seems you are coming up as well as we thought." She set a gentle hand on Briar's shoulder. "I know you were worried about losing your hard-earned rank as commander, and you may put that fear to rest, you should be quite capable of performing both duties."
"I always knew there was something special about us, and I'm so glad you could finally prove it about yourself as well." Briar's heart hammered as she looked up to her old friend expectantly. "Every spring, all the hives of the Bloom Court search for potential new queens, like those you met at the Spring Celebration."
"And, like you."
"Almost. I was chosen to take the place of the Queen before me after her death. Most are chosen to create their own hives, to expand the Bloom Court beyond the reach of one Queen. Briar, you have proven yourself as the next to take this honor!" She threw up her arms in a great flourish befitting the honor she conferred. But as she looked back down to Briar she found only confusion. "Briar?"
Fragment of words came from the faerie before she finally managed "Another hive? But, you, they're never here. You...You want me to leave?" Her breathing sped up as she tried to put together a sentence.
"It is not a matter of want. It is your duty to the hive, and the greatest honor that can be bestowed by the Bloom Court!" The softness in the fae queen's face was fading.
"I don't want it!" Briar shouted. "I want—" She had cut herself off. She'd been doing it for so long.
"You will retain any commander role you wish to keep," the fae queen said sharply. "I have gone to great lengths to ensure you would have the support to do both. You will have all you want, and you will fulfill your duty."
Briar shook her head. "No, I... I want Milii back."
There was a buzzing at the edges of the throne room. The fae queen ascended above Briar and stared her old friend down coldly. "What did you say?"
Briar stared back. "I want Milii back."
"Guards!" she roared. Dozens of the smaller male faeries surged from the walls of the throne room. Briar could fight off most of them. She couldn't fight off all of them. Her wings fired, taking her back to the weaving halls of the rose castle. Briar could fly the halls with her eyes closed, or so blurry she couldn't see straight. Crossbow bolts fired as she exploded out of the rose. They'd never hit her. She taught them all they knew. The rows of flowers in the faerie world ran together into lines of red and green. As she fled the meadow, the lines changed to spiraling rainbows around her. The Bloom Court vanished, and was replaced by the mortal world as she flew further and further away.
The sounds of other faeries and crossbows had disappeared too, so she allowed herself to slow down. The land beneath her was wrong. It wasn't the spring she had brought to the mortal world. Grass and trees grew, but she was surrounded by barren and cracked, even scorched land. She slowed and looked around her, trying to find something she remembered from her attacks within the mortal world. Everything was wrong. Was she in Moon territory? Her breathing became panicked again. She had made too big a mistake this time.
Briar turned and tried to fly back. She needed to go back. She could apologize. She could try. She spun, but the rainbows didn't fill her vision. She flew and spun and flew and spun, but the faerie world refused to let her in, as she had now left it an entire plane away.
Her wings faltered and she allowed herself to land. Tears fell to the cracked ground below her.
Briar has unlocked battle cry.

Time and space warp. A very old, very large dinosaur appears in a forested area of the Arena. It can't move much, and only very slowly, but storms are generated between its horns, and even just its breathing shakes the nearby trees. This includes the one in which the faeries' nests is situated.
Creature - Dinosaur Trample
At the beginning of your end step, put a +1/+1 counter on Creased Procellaceratops, then it deals damage equal to the number of +1/+1 counters on it to each creature with flying. Whenever an opponent taps a land for mana, if that player controls four or more other tapped lands, that land doesn't untap during its controller's next untap step.

I'm going to be honest, I had a whole thing plotted out involving telepathy and stuff here but I don't remember one bit of it and never wrote it down anywhere, so I should probably say the dinosaur never showed up in the first place.

The Arena is a large place. So large that Zyrizys had been walking through it pretty much all his life and he never came across a spot he remembered perfectly. Admitedly, it wasn't that the arena was large; but rather, because Zyrizys had trouble remembering where he'd been, and where he was going,... and where he was. Come to think of it, where was he? The blue lizardfolk elder looked around. "A forest? A glade?... Ah, whatever it's called it has got trees."A flutter of motion caught his eye. Fairies. If he remembered anything about fairies it was that they gave good directions. He had also forgotten a great number of other things about fairies would might have made him adverse to the idea of asking for those good directions. Regardless, he called out. "Pardon me. I seem to have lost my way and forgotten where I was going."One faerie laughs and points deeper into the forest. Another faerie starts to flit in that direction, as if to say 'follow me.'
Unknown Destination One Green Enchantment Common Enchantment Whenever a land enters the battlefield under your control, if you control no other lands with the same name, gain 2 life. "I don't know where I'm going: I just hope I'll know when I get there." -Zyrizys.Wandering in Circles
One Black
Enchantment
Uncommon
Whenever a creature is returned to an opponent's hand, that player loses 1 life.
A clean and simple design that responds really well to my card and fits beautifully into a dimir control strategy that would fit nicely into faerie archetype: 10/10. I'd give it 12 if I could. |

A brilliant golden light a million times larger than any Sun Court explosive lit up the world. Some spell from the other combatants shielded her and her soldiers from the blast, but the machine, finally, was annihilated.
She had very little to do with that, Briar realized. As big a threat as she was at home, here, she was next to nothing. It did not make the looming responsibilities of trying to truly become her hive's queen any easier.
One thing would be quite easy though.
Briar's still loaded crossbow snapped to the Phyrexian faerie and fired. Two more from other faeries followed soon after. Thorny roots quickly enveloped the faerie, who plummeted to the earth, landing near its exploded counterpart.
A nightshade plant began to sprout where the faerie fell. After a moment's hesitation, black magic swirled around Briar's hand, and the plant withered away to nothing.
Briar and her faeries are no longer plagued by Phyrexia, losing infect.

The Entelan spellcaster approaches the faerie took the first shot. She puts her thoughts together before saying anything. "Hi, I wanted to make sure you and your company are alright. No stray spells or shrapnel hit you or anything?"Caring Gaze Instant Target player gains life equal to the life they lost this turn. Briar looked around her numbers. Two lost from the stray aether explosion. Another in the sudden walls of flame. At least one skewered by the machine, two more missing in action, almost all of them tagged with the machine's oil. "None of yours," she says finally. She sinks a bit in the air as her wings beat slower. How many Decrees had she used? It was two right? Or three? It wasn't five. That was enough. "Can you take us to Ani? We could use..." She was really doing this. "We could use the help." Instant The next time you would lose the game for having 0 or less life this turn, your life total becomes 1 instead. You lose X life and you draw X cards.

"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!"
The human petrified before Briar and Milli, leaving a stony reminder for all the others to not trek any closer to the faerie lands.
"Why don't you just do that all the time?" Briar asked. "Seems like you'd solve the other courts real quick with a couple of those."
Milli giggled. "It's a lot more complicated than that. For one, I can only do that so many times. I do two or three of those in a day and poof, I'm out of commission for a week or more. They say no one's ever pulled off more than four without dying from it."
"Well if anyone can I bet you'll be the first."
"Wait... four? But the Queen just did, what, five, six? And she was fine."
Milli's head drooped. "Briar... I have something to tell you..."

"Ani?" If they were asking for help, they must have known Ani already, right? "Oh, of course. Do you need me to carry you? Do you think you can make the flight?"She calls back to the other Entelans. "Exhausted, possibly aetherics. I'm taking them back to Ani." She gets a wave back from the grenadier and no response from the sniper, who is now focused on making sure the oil is actually dead.This is a big black card draw spell. I like it a lot. It does make Ad Nauseam a mono-colored combo, which is minorly terrifying, and I'm otherwise unsure if it's in color. 7/10 The indignation returned to Briar. "I can make it. Help the others if they can't."
Some time later, something small rolled along the battlefield. Whirring wheels approached a wilted nightshade plant and halted, staying there for several seconds.M O S T I N T E R E S T I N G

(Guest System) Walking past the faerie-filled tree, A bright-eyed woman suddenly turns on her heel to stare at the tree. Smiling, she raises the camera slung over her neck and approaches the tree. "Oh, I can see the front page now..." She mutters to herself before snapping a picture of the small structures and faeries flitting around the tree, the bright flash illuminating the entire tree for a moment, possibly blinding a few unfortunate faeries.
Instant Whenever a creature enters the battlefield this turn, return it to its owner's hand. Nothing makes a better first impression than a bad one.
