Tech against food decks! I'm not sure about the balance, but I like it in principle

Spoiler: JNAProductions' What's yours is mine

Show

Probably balanced correctly, perhaps too aggressive for a steal effect that doesn't end to enchantment removal, even if it is unlikely to be flickered.
That said. I wouldn't be shocked if this was a real card some day.

Spoiler: TiaC's Coven Convocation

I love it. It rewards an obscure mechanic, does so logically, and doesn't seem cheap for its price.

Winner= TiaC

Without Blink shenanigans (which is fully possible, I admit) What's Yours Is Mine is actually the same rate as Mass Manipulation with X of 1. It can target more types of permanents, but it can't scale any higher than stealing one permanent, so... *Shrugs*

Fair! I didn't consider that.

Sorry about the delay, work was really busy and I forget to check the forums.

Make a card that has two mechanics that have not been on the same card and that synergize with each other.

(Cards like Fury or Ichor Slick are examples)

The Heralding Storm 2(W/G)
Enchantment

Storm
Backup 1
Exalted

A storm to support the weak and wipe away evil.

Quite a powerful storm win condition. If you have a creature that can get through, this will give it +3/+3 that turn per storm count, then +2/+2 on following turns. However, I really like backup on a non-creature, and exalted is a good keyword to pair with it because it works the same on creatures and non-creatures. Storm and Exalted also work well as one of the only stacking keywords.

0/0

My only real problem with this is the Phyrexian mana making it free. Other than that, backup and modular are cool together, although some people might misplay and also put the modular counters on the backup target. One issue with modular is that it only targets artifact creatures, but this makes things into artifacts. It all hangs together very well, but would probably kill your opponent too fast.

2/2

It's going to be rare that you'll pick the counter when you first play this. I like how the card has multiple phases to it, where it can be a 2/2 haste, then a 4/4, then a minor boardwipe.

1/3

This can get out of hand fast. At first I didn't realize that the ability needed to be activated so that you don't have exponential experience counter growth. It really penalizes the whole table for having one player who doesn't develop a board. It's not broken because it's still a 1/3 that dies to removal.

An elegant variation on Pacifism, this is a bit harder to remove, but doesn't have the enchantment synergies. I always appreciate a common design, they are surprisingly difficult to do.

This was a really creative round. It was close, but I have to give it to The Heralding Storm by JNAProductions. While it probably needs to be toned down a bit, all three mechanics work together in exactly the way I was looking for.

Huzzah! I am victorious! :)

Now I need to decide what on earth the next design goal will be... Hrm...

You know how Planeswalker were recently Compleated? Do that, but with Eldrazi instead of Phyrexians.
And don't feel like you need to stick to canon Walkers-if you have a nifty idea that doesn't fit any existing characters, just make up a new Walker!

Also, just gonna toss this out there as a bonus challenge... Omnath, Locus Of Annihilation. Sh, don't tell anyone! :P
