FauxFaux on Card creation challenge

2 months ago

Well, tiny lore drop:

• Svogthos, the Restless Tomb was shattered during the Phyrexian Invasion by Realmbreaker from the then Compleated Vraska.

• The Sisters of Stone Death, namely three Gorgons by the names of Ludmilla, Lexya and Lydya, the latter two were killed by Savra, Queen of the Golgari, and Ludmilla is presumed dead, although not confirmed.

• Both Savra, Queen of the Golgari and Jarad, Golgari Lich Lord, sister Savra was killed by Szadek, Lord of Secrets then her body possessed by the spirit of Svogthir, the Golgari Parun (founder), then smooshed by Experiment Kraj. Brother Jarad was first killed by Lyzolda, the Blood Witch, then necromanced back into his corpse to then be killed by Vraska, with the help of Jarga, a troll, Mazirek, Kraul Death Priest, and Xeddick, another Kraul.

• Vraska, Golgari Queen is obviously off and romping about the multiverse with Jace Beleren and Loot, the Key to Everything. So she's not really in command at the moment. Matter of fact, following the Phyrexian Invasion, pretty much every former Golgari leader denounced her as their leader, as during the Invasion, the Golgari were the first Compleated Guild to rampage across the surface, so they were summarily punished and ostracized from Ravnica.

And so, that leaves us, after all those wordy words, to the only real appropriate options...

Svogthos, Splintered Tomb

Legendary Land - Swamp Forest

Whenever ~ enters, mill 5.

At the beginning of your endstep, if there are 4 or more creature cards in your graveyard, you may exile ~ and return it to the battlefield transformed.

{T}, Mill 2: Add {B}{G}.

"Svogthos, shattered in twain by the Phyrexian upshoot, acts now as the only solace for the disgraced Golgari Swarm. None but the Swarm gather there, dutifully attempting to retain the crypt's former visage."

---

Izoni, Heir to the Swarm ({B}{G})

Legendary Creature - Elf Shaman

Whenever ~ enters or a land is put into your graveyard from anywhere, you create a 1/1 Black and Green Insect creature Token. This ability triggers once each turn.

{T}, Tap any number of untapped Insects or Spiders you control: Return target creature with mana value equal to or less than the amount of creatures tapped this way from your graveyard to the battlefield. That creature becomes a Plant Zombie instead of its other types.

"Vraska is gone and has betrayed the Swarm. It deserves one willing to foster and nurture the betrayed. Not one who uses it as a mere title."

4/4

Sorry for the Lore Dump, but challenge is to redo this challenge, but for another guild! Perhaps Dimir? or Rakdos?

Mikokoro, Center of the Sea and Jace Beleren and Folio of Fancies and Minds Aglow and Temple Bell and Scrawling Crawler and Faerie Mastermind and Stormfist Crusader and Vision Skeins and Prosperity and Skyscribing and Fascination

Fascination, Dark Deal and Day's Undoing come to mind.... I think this seems neat! maybe the O.G. Jace Beleren and Howling Mine in some sort of Sphinx's Tutelage deck?

• Fevered Visions may be better than Jace Beleren and Temple Bell

I did actually at one point have Keening Stone in the deck, but the reason it and Nemesis of Reason are not in the deck is because they do not fare well in a multiplayer setting and can end up being too resource heavy (although they can be quite fun).

On the other hand, that's why I quite like Jace Beleren as he is card advantage mainly for me with the upside of incidental draw/deck depletion for my opponents.

Keening Stone and Nemesis of Reason? Would maybe drop Jace Beleren for one of them as it's unlikely you'll hit the -10 in a game.

I like unconventional decks so +1 on this, love to see an EDH mill deck.

My Zur deck (Don't worry... I've got an enchantment for that) ended up turning into a sudo-mill deck with Zur being used to lock down my opponents while I mill them, so you might find a few more useful cards in that.

wallisface I do like Reprieve over Jace Beleren thank you for the suggestion. I don't think im parting with Void Snare quite yet. I decided with Reprieve over Remand because Reprieve can counter spells that can't be countered.

jdogz32 on Anew Polymorph Deck

I'm still tweaking mine myself, right now I'm taking out Jace Beleren and possibly Void Snare for remand. It'd fairly consisten as a turn 5 kill. Alot of times people just scoop when you counter their removal for him.
