Confused.

Tevish. I wouldn't be against Confused's, but at uncommon it could be an instant. As is, it's not bad, but I feel it underwhelms for the rarity. I also like Desert Twister. Bleh, choices.

Tevish just for the flavor text.

Confused: 3
Tevish: 2

And Confused takes it! Maraka's Claim shall be added to the spoiler.

Please pick Rare or Mythic and write a criterion for the next round.

Darn, I was totally going to order the speaker of my flavor text carded

Well I'm glad everyone liked that much.

Like CKY, I wanna cram your flavor text in somewhere if possible.

So,

"You want to know why I don't fear the ice and snow? My sister and I went to Maraka once. Those hideous roots bore into her flesh as she slept and drank her blood, and in the morning it was a tree that wore her face, slowly fading into the bark. I'll take the cold any day." - Anjara, Frostwynd Ranger

describes a ranger's experiences, a part of Frostwynd and Frostwynd's scary flora.

Criteria: Rare. Design a card from Tevish's flavor text.

Anjara, Frostwynd Ranger
Legendary Creature - Human Scout
Protection from blue and black
You may play Anjara, Frostwynd Ranger as a land.
"You want to know why I don't fear the ice and snow? My sister and I went to Maraka once. Those hideous roots bore into her flesh as she slept and drank her blood, and in the morning it was a tree that wore her face, slowly fading into the bark. I'll take the cold any day."
2/3

Frostwynd Ranger –
Creature – Human Archer (R)
First strike, vigilance, reach
"You want to know why I don't fear the ice and snow? My sister and I went to Maraka once. Those hideous roots bore into her flesh as she slept and drank her blood, and in the morning it was a tree that wore her face, slowly fading into the bark. I'll take the cold any day."
2/1

I made it as elegant as possible so that the flavor text could actually fit.

Anjara, Frostwynd Ranger

Legendary Creature - Human Scout
Players can't untap more than one land during their untap steps.
: Untap target non-forest land
"You want to know why I don't fear the ice and snow? My sister and I went to Maraka once. Those hideous roots bore into her flesh as she slept and drank her blood, and in the morning it was a tree that wore her face, slowly fading into the bark. I'll take the cold any day." - Anjara, Frostwynd Ranger

Yeah, I decided to go with, basically, a walking Winter Orb for her. Usefully, though, she comes with breaking the symmetry of her effect if you do a little work (I could have had her tap for mana, but I liked how the non-forest restriction and flavor text worked together)

I'd really be interested in seeing a design or two after that fashion, frankly. And if I didn't think I'd managed to tie the flavor into my design, I'd probably swap

Blood Grove Ancient |
Creature - Treefolk Horror (R)
: Destroy target creature. Its controller puts a colorless Forest land token onto the battlefield.
"You want to know why I don't fear the ice and snow? My sister and I went to Maraka once. Those hideous roots bore into her flesh as she slept and drank her blood, and in the morning it was a tree that wore her face, slowly fading into the bark. I'll take the cold any day."

Let's start the voting!





I vote for Echo_Robin.

Echo

Yeah Echo.

Echo

As much as I'd love to see Ms. Late Addition get a card, Echo really has the best concept for the flavor text. Echo.

Echo.

And Echo takes it unanimously! Blood Grove Ancient shall be added to the spoiler.

Please pick Rare or Mythic and write a criterion for the next round.

Criteria: A rare aura that enchants something other than a creature.
