Preferred Pronoun Set:
OK, I just went through the second half of every thread and picked out all the cards I liked that didn't win.

Here are the cards TPzombieW nominated last time:

Manaruption
Instant (C)
As an additional cost to play Manaruption, sacrifice a land.
Add to your mana pool.
The energy beneath Illpyre can be too much for the earth to hold.

Yay

Sparkcatcher
Creature – Faerie Wizard
Flying
Instant bringer (When this permanent enters the battlefield, you may cast an instant card from your hand with converted mana cost less than that of this card.)
In a land of frozen wastes, the tiniest spark becomes the most valuable commodity.
1/1

Yay, with Instant bringer unkeyworded. Also, it should have flash.

Metalbound Monster
Creature – Hound (U)
When Metalbound Monster enters the battlefield, sacrifice it unless you put a chain counter on an artifact you control.
Metalbound Monster has defender as long as you control a permanent with a chain counter on it.
Haste
4/4

Yay

Minitog
Creature - Atog (U)
Sacrifice an artifact: Minitog gets +2/+2 and gains haste until end of turn.
In the darkest depths of the Academy archives, something moves. And occasionally, burps.
0/1

Nay

White

Blue

Black

Red

Green

Colorless

Please vote Yay, Nay, or Abstain on each of these cards. All cards with more Yays than Nays will be added to the set.

And feel free to nominate any other cards you liked that I missed!

Dang Parad, there's a reason I only ever did one colour at a time. Mostly it was procrastination but I'm sure there's a lesson in there anywhere.
Anyhoo, now evebody can copy/paste my list to save some time.

Manaruption - Yay
Sparkcatcher - Could be an elemental instead of faerie, also needs haste. Yay if those conditions are met.
Metalbound Monster - Yay
Minitog - Nay


Secluding Missionary - Yay. Rename it Illpyre Inquisitor or something though.
Written into History - Yay
Simple Repairs - Yay. Needs to be "up to one target creature" though. Kind of worried it will be too swingy with mastery, but it won't hit three targets often.
Solar Revoker - Yay
Inborn Skills - Yay Worried that +2/+2 is too much with the doublestrike though. I mean, you're already essentially getting +2/+1.


Starstill - Abstain
Crystallize - Yay. I think the engrave golems should all be crystal, so this fits nicely.
Humata Sphinx - Yay
Out Cold - Yay Blue could use some tempo I think.
Relic Watcher - Nay
Sundrinker - Yay Awesome
Horizon Hawk - Nay
Frostwing Drake - Nay Cute but how much will it actually do?
Lair-Snapper - Nay. Just doesn't come together somehow.


Path to Power - Nay
Gravepyre - Abstain
Insatiable Abberation - Abstain
Stealer of Strength - Yay Looks like the sort of thing I would- er, it looks fun.


Terracotta Brute - Nay
Worldscorcher - Abstain
Sunfury Spirit - Yay Dat flava! Should be an elemental though.


Duskdriver Baloth - Nay
Earthly Strength - Abstain
Viashino Soulgatherer - Abstain Is this too good?
Natural Rebirth - Yay
Oasis Dryads - Yay
Diamondscale Wurm - Nay


Frostmite - Yay Might need new flavour
Persistence of Mechanation - Yay Needs a less sorceryish name and should cost though.
Frozen Hammer - Nay

That flavor is so bad though >_<

Nominate this thing:

Control Bug
Artifact Creature – Insect (C)
Engrave
It crawls around the inside of the golem, operating its movement. When the golem collapses, it crawls out through an opening in the shell and fights for itself.
1/1

Thanks for the nomination, Lily!

Forgotten Dream
Creature - Incarnation Illusion (U)
Whenever Forgotten Dream becomes the target of a spell or ability, sacrifice it.
Instant and sorcery spells you cast cost less to cast.
When the artists of Illpyre died in the heat, they left behind the manifestations of their creative ambition. Now, as fleeting as the imaginations they once inhabited, they wander through the eternal desert storm, waiting to inspire whomever might come their way.
2/1

Not that I'm really attached to the card either way, but for my honor's sake I'd like to disclaim that Duskriver Baloth didn't have affinity as written.

Yea to Secluding Missionary and Sundrinker. Nay to the rest.

Shall all be added to the spoiler!

Also, I'm going to add Forgotten Dream and Control Bug, too, since nobody voted against them.

That's got to take us pretty close to a small set's worth of cards.

Yeah, by my count this as well as the Reprints thread leaves us at 195 cards. 50 more to go! Time for Hole Filling.

We should probably update the "The Set So Far" thread as well as any "Set Map" spoiler blocks, and probably the visual spoiler at some point, so that we can get an idea of what we have and what we need.
