Echo

TP. Sorry Echo, but we already have a bunch of manafixing artifacts.

Mown

I've been too busy lately to contribute, but hopefully that's over with.

I'll vote for Echo.

CKY: 2.5
TP: 2
Echo: 2
Mown: 1

CKY takes it in a close round! Infiltrator's Mask shall be added to the spoiler.

Please pick a rarity and write a criterion for the next round.

Slots Left:

5 Commons
1 Uncommons

Sunchaser Golem is a common artifact creature with red and white activated abilities. Make the rest of the common enemy-color-activated-ability cycle. Also, don't make a Gray Ogre because we have like three of those at common.

A cycle, you say?

Rot Thresher

Artifact Creature - Construct
, Sacrifice Rot Thresher: Target creature gets -2/-2 until end of turn
, Sacrifice Rot Thresher: Target creature gets +2/+2 until end of turn

For reference

Artifacts are currently set to end up with 13 Commons, 7 Uncommons, 7 Rares, and 1 Mythic. That means that 13/28 cards, or almost half, will be common. I think that 12/27 is a much better ratio, so I'm going to move the last Colorless Common slot from Artifact to Land. This means the next criterion setter for this thread will choose from between a Common Land and an Uncommon Artifact.

Let's start the voting! (We're gonna vote for the whole cycle this time, not piecemeal, because Confused's and Ulcaster's are the only submissions that could really be mixed and matched.)






I vote for Ulcaster.

Confused

Parad. I think the vertical CMC change is important for this one since they're not gonna be grey ogres other than the one.

I kind of regret setting this criterion because none of these are really common, but oh well.

Parad. Note that Sage of Hours is a card though.

Yeah, most of these are probably too strong for commons. I guess i'll vote for Parad as well.

Parad: 3
Ulcaster: 1
Confused: 1

And I take it! My cycle shall be added to the spoiler, with Sage of Hours renamed "Clockwork Magician" and type changed to "Construct Wizard".

All 6 of our common lands sacrifice themselves in the name of card advantage, so create a common land that doesn't sacrifice itself or have anything to do with card advantage.
