Relics are kind of tough: anything that cares about CMC or relies on the artifact being valuable in itself doesn't work with them, but on the other hand they're basically free so anything that cares about artifacts in general risks getting ridiculous like Cranial Plating and stuff did with artifact lands. I wanted to avoid both problems: the card works well with relics, but for it to get too ridiculous you need to pour a ton of mana into it every turn.

This is normally a blue thing to do, but enchantments turning into creatures is white, and white cares about artifacts too so I don't think it's an unreasonable stretch.

That should definitely be a sorcery. I cite the very card you did.

The problem with barter in blood was that it was bad.

You can't just color shift a card and expect it to be judged by the same power level as the color you shifted it from. This is why Damnation was a more powerful card than Wrath of God. Your card reminds me more of Cataclysm than Barter in Blood, and Cataclysm was as frightening as it was at Sorcery speed.

How? One asks you to sacrifice a set number of permanents, the other requires you sac all but a small number of permanents. One blows up lands, the other doesn't.

Yeah, But Cataclysm is white and Barter in Blood is black. I just think I value the color wheel more than what tyranno6 used to call oomph, while you seem to be primarily concerned with oomph than preserving the lines of the color pie.

Symmetrical effects and nonland permanent destruction are both part of white's color pie.

The only effects that force opponents to sacrifice are balance type effects where people end up in the same effective position, or where attacking creatures are involved.
Yours feels more like a 1 for 1 type thing, which doesn't feel... quite white.

Each Relic you control is an Equipment with equip and "Equipped creature gets +2/+2."
"I don't know what these things were used for, but I know what I'd use 'em for."

Shield of Shrapnel --
Instant (U)

As an additional cost to cast Shield of Shrapnel, sacrifice any number of artifacts.
Prevent the next X damage that would be dealt to you this turn, where X is the number of artifacts sacrificed this way. Shield of Shrapnel deals X damage to target creature or player.

I'm thinking of this plane's answer to Guardian of the Gateless.

Relic Guardian
Creature - Angel (U)
Flying
Relic Guardian can block an additional creature for each Relic you control.
When Relic Guardian blocks, it gets +1/+1 until end of turn for each Relic you control.
3/3

Artifice Scrapper
Creature - Human [U]
Whenever a non-relic artifact is destroyed gain 2 life and put an artifact relic token under your control.
2/2

+ sac outlet = infinite life?

Fixed.*

Let's start the voting!












I vote for Steinhauser.

Shazzeh.

Cato. Steinhauser's is hilarious but I didn't want to vote for any of the "relics matter" ones.
