Mulldrifter

Creature — Elemental

Flying

When this enters, draw two cards.

Evoke (You may cast this spell for the evoke cost. If you do, this creature is sacrificed when it enters the battlefield.)

miracleHat, I can understand why you say that, but that would make it too similar to Mulldrifter, in my opinion.

There have been three variants of Mulldrifter, two of which have names that are variants of its own name, Hulldrifter and Nulldrifter, so I am very surprised that there has not yet been a variant named "skulldrifter," so I have created such a card, as seen, here:

Skulldrifter Show

This card is very similar to the original Mulldrifter, except that it is black, rather than blue, it has unearth instead of evoke, and its ability triggers under different conditions, so I would like to believe that it is a fair and balanced card that is also an interesting variation of the original creature.

I also have created a black version of Ageless Entity, as seen, here:

Deathless Entity Show

This was a fairly easy counterpart to make, since this creature becomes more power when its controller loses life, rather than when they gain life, which is a perfect match for black's philosophy.

What does everyone else say, about these cards? Do you believe that I did a good job, with them? I certainly shall appreciate any feedback that you may have to offer.

Mulldrifter is interesting. Think of it as Divination with kicker , because 90% of the time, it will be a Divination. (This is true of all evoke creatures.) Still, it's nice to have evasion when you need it.

Shrieking Drake: "This baby can put so many combos in her."

And of course, Mystic Snake. I love this whole cycle (Absorb, Undermine, and Suffocating Blast are the others.) but Mystic Snake can be blinked making it a little bit better than the rest.

Who is your Commander? What are you trying to do?

wallisface, I definitely have some excellent cards in that deck with abilities that trigger when they enter the battlefield, such as Reclamation Sage, Eternal Witness, Craterhoof Behemoth, Brutalizer Exarch, Coiling Oracle, Mulldrifter Mystic Snake, or Peregrine Drake; do you agree that those creatures are excellent cards for flickering?

The answer is pretty simple, it always depends on context. Magic is a very complex game and situations matter a lot. A lot of examples you gave already mentions different contexts and cannot be judged the same way as other examples.

Of the cards with activated abilities you mentioned, only Spectral Sailor and Faerie Mastermind are any good because they are useful aside from their card draw ability. A lot of times you don't even need to activate them since that's just tge cherry on top. Unless you have a very specific combo with Mystic Archaeologist, it's a horrible card because the only thing you can with it is pay a lot of mana to draw only 2 cards. For 5 mana, Mulldrifter is miles better. However, maybe you're making a weird Wizard EDH with Zirda as a companion and Mystic Archaeologist happens to fit perfectly.

Even the example with Wilt-Leaf Cavaliers and Vernadi Shieldmate is relative. The Cavaliers is an Elf Knight while the Shieldmate is a Human soldier, which means, as more "efficient" as one is over the other, some decks might completely one of them.

Usually, cheaper cards are better, but synergies, strategies and redundancy also influence card choice. Is Searing Spear better than Shock? Maybe, but maybe some people prefer to have only burn spells in their deck. Maybe there's a format where Lightning Bolt doesn't exist and both Shock and Searing Spear (or Lightning Strike since it's the more modern version) go in the same deck.

Very few things are so black and white in MTG.

What about one time effects like Mulldrifter or Baleful Strix?

Also, would you count a tribal restriction? Such as when you cast X (Knight, Sliver, etc.), draw a card?

I know you have a maybe board but if you consider there are also artifact, enchantment, and land creatures, then your maybe board could get a bit large.

I presume that Nulldrifter's card drawing ability is a cast trigger and not an enters-the-battlefield trigger to prevent players from abusing it, as they can with Mulldrifter?

It could probably use a little more card draw......I do have a Mulldrifter and the cluestones can draw if I sacrifice them....the one that would help the most is the Vanquisher's Banner....I also really want to run all of the Omnaths and an Animar, Soul of Elements and maybe a Maelstrom Wanderer but it doesn't necessarily need a wanderer.....Greensleeves, Maro-Sorcerer would also go good in it but also doesn't need need it....and any of the Titanias would go better in it than greensleeves
