Riptide Caller
Creature - Siren
Flash
Flying
When Riptide Caller enters the battlefield, destroy target creature that entered the battlefield.
She sits upon the calm waters far beyond the reach of the riptide, beckoning those foolish enough to enter them for her.
2/3
Removal on a stick is always a valid option in any format

What's the intention of Urza's Saga here? With only seven artifacts, and only one of them is 0-1 mana, you're not getting a lot of value out of it.
I recommend finding a few more life gain payoffs. While having more life can be a good buffer, it doesn't mean anything if it just slows the game down. Archangel of Thune is higher-budget than most of the other cards here, but it's a cornerstone for this sort of deck. On the less expensive side, Cleric Class does a lot of things this deck seems to want, and Valkyrie Harbinger, Attended Healer, Cat Collector, Angelic Accord, and a few other cards at or below $2 turn life gain into more creatures.

Yeah zandl, I wanted it to be reflective of the creature using pheromones & mimicry to provoke and entice more weak willed creatures.
I wanted to be kind of like a Green Disrupt Decorum with some limitations since the effect is on body that can be blinked/copied.
In retrospect, it could've just been phrased "creatures with lesser power are goaded" or something. This is why I don't work for WotC
Let's see that Black siren.

Crow_Umbra: Kinda redundant to say "share a creature type" when it is all creature types. -shrug- If you're worried about the phrasing, anyway.

Preposterous Pretender
Creature - Siren Pirate
As this creature enters, you may have it become a copy of a random creature on the battlefield until end of turn, except it gets +1/+1 and has haste.
2/2

Nice picks! Would add a little more card draw and maybe reduce creature count a little ... plus at least one more board wipe.
Ultarian on Abiding Combo

kamarupa Thank you for the suggestions. I have aimed to keep the deck centred around Abiding Grace. Milling it over with Stitcher's Supplier and bringing it back with Tragic Poet is a somewhat important interaction, then being able to bring back the Poet with Grace to repeat. Hall is a very respectable upgrade, though I would keep the Poet alongside it.
2/2 creatures are actually quite easy to deal with. The deck wants Grace in play every game, so sacrificing a Fume Spitter and bringing it back to finish off the 2/2 is going to be common. Remember, most big creatures will struggle with looping Kami of False Hope.
Metastatic Evangel is something I've looked at before but this particular list is hyper-focused on 1 drops, for Grace.
Tectonic Edge is my go-to for dealing with lands that run away with the game, like Hall. It also appeals to me that decks going a bit bigger can stumble, whilst I remain mana efficient. I think of them as spells that double as lands. There's might be a good arguement for Field, I'll test it out.

When ~ enters, goad each creature that both shares a creature type and has less power than this creature.

I think the phrasing works?
Anyways. Let's see a Red siren

SaberTech on Should I Keep Basalt Monolith …

Depends on what you value more:
Kiora's Follower offers more mid to late game utility. It untaps lands, possibly ramps a lot when paired with Bloom Tender or Faeburrow Elder, untaps creatures with other abilities, and can untap a creature so that you can block after attacking. If you are used to games going long then this will probably contribute to more plays.
Noble Hierarch can potentially offer you more speed if you can cast it turn 1. You also have a lot of cards at 3 and 4 mana that require two mana of a particular colour, which the Hierarch will more consistently be able to help cast. Even if you draw it later in the game, being able to cast it and draw a card off of Chulane for just one mana is a much better rate than two mana.
Without knowing the speed and length of the games you usually end up playing it's a bit hard for me to make a call on that. I tend to default to trying to shore up early game consistency so the Hierarch appeals to me, but I can't actually guarantee that it's the best choice for your particular meta.

Alluring Angel
Creature - Angel Siren
Flying, Ward
Whenever this creature enters or becomes tapped, goad target creature.
Whenever a goaded creature attacks, its controller draws a card and gains 3 life. If you don't control that creature, you draw a card and gain 3 life.
4/5
I'd like to see a green siren.
DemonDragonJ on Should I Keep Basalt Monolith …

SaberTech, at this point, it seems that some of the most appealing options for replacing Basalt Monolith are either Noble Hierarch or Kiora's Follower, because this deck does contain many creatures who have abilities that require the creatures being tapped to activate, so which of those creatures do you prefer?

Angler Siren
Creature - Siren
X cannot be 0.
When Angler Siren enters, X target creatures must attack each combat if able for as long as Angler Siren is on the battlefield.
Whenever Angler Siren blocks a creature, that creature's controller loses 3 life.
2/5
Create another Siren, but this time it must be !

There is no one that organizes it as I made it due to seeing demand for it, but after making it I've heard that many other people refer to it by different names, pure modern being one. Notably I think there is also no one that organizes that.
As a result it uses the same ban list as normal modern does as I do not have the money to spend my free time doing deck testing for balance testing.
You can find out about it by going to the site updates thread on the very topic.

Thinking of what themes red and white overlap in. Combat skill is Gideon, stoneworking is Nahiri. Metalworking is kind of open, but Tezzeret takes a lot of that space. Light/heat? Vigilantes? Maybe a devout and disciplined, but ardent fanatic? Or the literal power of friendship? I'm going to get off this stream of thought and try that.
Syr Gare, the Festive
Legendary Planeswalker - Gare
+2 Each player gains 2 life and may draw a card. Each player who drew a card this way discards a card.
0 For each opponent, choose feast or gifts. For each feast player, you and that player create a Food token. For each gifts player, you and that player create a Treasure token.
-1 Each player gets an emblem with "Attacking creatures you control get +1/+0." and "Blocking creatures you control get +0/+1."
-3 Gain control of target creature until end of turn. It gains haste and "This creature can't attack its owner." until end of turn.

Locking this thread - threads like this tend to create problems by calling out other users, being an hothead of personal insults, and otherwise igniting tensions.
If you have an issue with a specific user harassing you, in addition to the block feature, feel free to tag yeaGO or myself on the thread or decklist in question to look into the matter.

Agree with everything Femme_Fatale said.
Additionally, it’s pretty common knowledge to “not feed the trolls”. This thread only gives power to the harasser - it shows them that whatever they did managed to really negatively effect you, so validates their action as a mission-success. The internet is full of nasty people and this thread just looks like bait for anyone wanting to get-their-kicks from bullying/harassing people online

TypicalTimmy: I actually meant the artifact subtype "vehicle", as they play really well with Diaochan. The deck uses vehicles as creatures that can't be chosen with Diaochan's ability, combined with indestructi-dudes to still be able to crew the vehicles. I want lots of shroud or protection from red, and Thornbite Staff has another deck where it's broken. So: your card definitely works!

was not aware of a block feature until now. I would disagree regarding it being related to the site. I was harassed on the site. The site is related to the site. Absolutely frustrated. It was totally unwarranted. All I wanted to do this morning was deck cycle. And I got online to trash comments. How is that not site related? If it happened to me, surely I am not the only one. Therefore, I wanted to hear other stories.
TypicalTimmy on Card creation challenge

I assume you mean a "vehicle" as a driving force behind the mechanics, and not the actual subtype? Because I'm going to take your challenge way to literally and do both lol
Prisoner Transport
Artifact - Vehicle
: Change the target creature of a spell or ability to another target creature. Activate this ability only if Prisoner Transport is crewed.
Crew 6
3/3
This allows you to take the creature your opponent chooses, and say "no."
Regarding guild colors, Boros has the fewest truly unique Planeswalker options. Many such as Ajani gains red temporarily before calming down and returning to mono-white or selesnya. Huatli is technically Naya. Nahiri only "recently" became Boros. Lukka is only Boros by extension with the flip-side of Lukka, Wayward Bonder
The only "true" Boros Planeswalker to date is Quintorius Kand.
So your challenge is to make a unique, true Boros Planeswalker that isn't just another "Mono-white but angry" character.

This doesn't seem related to the site at all, this seems more like something for the Blind Eternities.
I get you may be frustrated with interactions with another user but this is not the way to go about that. Block them and/or use the contact form at the bottom of the site for reporting.

If you have a harassment story for this site, let's here it.
I literally had a person post on my personal page/feed that I was narcissistic. At the same time that they did this they acknowledged that they did not know how one part of the site works while telling me how I need to use the site. Yes, out of frustration I did delete the evidence.
Can you believe that? The nerve of some people. I bet their pod is real fun.
If you've got one, tell it.

capwner thanks for stopping by! This is admittedly a more casual deck than what you recommended to add, since it's already comfortably bracket 4. I'm gonna try to analyze a few of the suggestions to better explain how I've built the deck, but don't worry because I'll do a description update soon enough:
-
Mana Echoes isn't terribly effective for my iteration of Marath due to the fact I'm not intentionally sharing a creature type amongst the majority of my cast- if I was to employ such a concept, I would be using roughly 26-32 of the same creature typing within the deck, and this deck just.. isn't that.
-
Skullclamp would be helpful if I needed more reliable draw, and had token bodies to spare. Unfortunately, in my iteration I don't see why_where I could use the clamp without changing a big portion of the deck in front of me. I'm (also) not focused on tokens, really at all.
-
Kamahl, Fist of Krosa doesn't really interest me as a combo piece despite how cool Goblin Sharpshooter does the thing, but I personally avoid Mass Land Destruction because as I have stated above, this deck was meant to be a bit more laid back and less oppressive.
All in all I appreciate the commentary and the input because I didn't know about some of these combos I had access to. Thank you again for chiming in and for your time. Cheers!

Mindbreaker
Creature - Demon

Hellraiser - When this creature enters, choose target player. If that player has no cards in hand as this abilitiy resolves, you control that player during their next turn. Otherwise, gain control of a creature they control until end of turn and untap it. It gains haste until end of turn.
4/3
Yes, that second half indeed doesn't target.
I recently built a Diaochan, Artful Beauty
deck thanks to the Avatar reprint. I basically built her as a vehicle deck. Your challenge is to create a vehicle for that deck.

You'll have to wait for yeago as he's the one who can add formats, but there's bugs for him to address first when he gets back.
There's also appears to be some overlap in philosophy with both of these, notably with the goals of Modern Beyond Horizons, which is present modern but without modern horizons or universes beyond. Perhaps try engaging with that and see if you enjoy it.
legendofa on Tourach, The Goober Snatcher
3 weeks ago
A couple of thoughts here. You don't have a lot of ways to deal with things that make it through your discard barrage and hit the battlefield. A few removal spells could take care of any creatures and enchantments that get cast. Also, while Tourach, Dread Cantor is a good payoff alongside Waste Not, Liliana's Caress, and the small-hand damage cards, I think the deck could use a couple more options. Maybe add a small reanimation package to steal stuff from your opponents' graveyard.
The thing about discard is, once your opponents run out of cards, your spells lose a lot of bite. You want to have active options once you get everyone discarded down to nothing.
