Maybe get rid of the unblockability and add Hexproof instead? I really want it to have something blue in it

Also yeah comparing it to Phage, maybe it needs an unreanimability clause too

Preferred Pronoun Set:
Dream Curve, Temur Redux:

Tattermunge Witch-Doctor
Creature — Goblin Shaman
: Add to your mana pool. Tattermunge Witch-Doctor deals 1 damage to each player.
0/1

Fireplume Fledgeling
Creature — Phoenix
Haste, flying
Fireplume Fledgeling enters the battlefield with a pinion counter on it.
, Remove a pinion counter from Fireplume Fledgeling: Add to your mana pool.
2/1

Karnigoth of the Thousand Teeth
Legendary Creature — Dinosaur
Haste, trample, hexproof
8/8

This curve still goldfishes 20 damage on its own by turn 4 with a regular mana dork. (Attack with Phoenix on the turn you play it, then again on turn 4 when you attack again with the dino.) Noble Heirarch also pushes it up to 22. Ideal turn 4 play is Fatal Frenzy if all else fails. Made the dino Legendary so you can use it as a commander

Word, the Witch-Doctor was supposed to be a Goblin. What's the other one?

The Phoenix for not doing Phoenix things.
And after googling what a pinion is, I have a lot more questions about the flavor of the card that relates to its capacity to fly.

Preferred Pronoun Set:
In Final Fantasy, Phoenix Pinion was an item that Phoenix Down'd your whole team, so I assumed it was basically just a large feather, or another word for feather. I guess I should have just used feather counter, but then it would have interacted with Aven Mimeomancer. Maybe that's not a bad thing.

Would "Elemental Bird" make you happier?

I had a dream that I opened this in a pack:

Memories of the Frozen Past
Enchantment (M)
Exile ten cards from your graveyard: Draw three cards.

It was definitely Mythic in my dream. Not sure if I would put it at that rarity IRL but there you go.

You should make Phyrexian Decimator read "At the beginning of your upkeep, you lose 1/10 of the game."

:P

Lifelink, trample, haste
When Kalvigos, the Elements Combined dies, create a 2/1 white Elemental creature token with lifelink named "Storm", a 2/1 green Elemental creature token with trample named "Earth", and a 2/1 red Elemental creature token with haste named "Fire".

6/3

:P

That's the idea! It was inspired by Phyrexian Soulgorger-meets-Decimator Web. :3

Preferred Pronoun Set:
Inspired by viewtopic.php?f=17&t=19975&p=589477#p589467:

Moloss the Unforgiving
Legendary Creature — Demon
Flying, lifelink
When Moloss, the Unforgiving dies, any opponent may sacrifice a creature. If any do, return Moloss to its owner's hand. If none do, each opponent loses 13 life.
6/6

Some math stuff:

• Getting one attack in and then triggering his lack-of-tribute effect leaves them at 1 life.
• Getting one attack in leaves you at 26 life, which is twice 13.

Cute, but the character it was inspired off of was just a random dude that burned half his body to scare a general that he was sent and failed to assassinate.

The character is already undead, so why would he turn into a demon? He gets nothing out of it.

Preferred Pronoun Set:
Seal the Deal
Sorcery (C)
Target opponent skips his or her next draw step.
Draw a card.
Chimney imps like using the blood of their prey to seal their demonic contracts. Usually, however, the consequences of signing one aren't too catastrophic.

6/3

Haste on Fire isn't actually going to do anything.

not most of the time and that's sort of unappealing but haste does something on the original body and i think the concept is alright and it is necessary to give fire haste for the concept to play out i think

a 2/1 with trample is sort of wasting trample as well
