Bastion of Honor
Land (R)
: Add .
, : Add
Facing new threats they'd never imagined, the peoples of Bant became more united than ever before.

This would be a full cycle, of course. It originally was just a three-color Darkwater Catacombs (with an activation cost of ), but that seemed too powerful for 4-5 color decks.

Trail of Progenitus
Land (R)
, : Add .
Here, the Order of Progenitus meets to share tales from all five worlds.

I personally think that Bastion is probably fine as your original version. It's like, sure, really good at casting bant+ cards, but it's really bad at casting rakdos cards, and if you fill your deck with cards like that you become overly reliant on them and probably do nothing the first two turns, and if you want to cast several spells at once it can quickly become quite awkward.

These made me laugh. I think it would be funny to play Live with Ajani's Pridemate on the field. "My life total didn't change but it clearly says right here that I gained life"

Eternal Nightmare
Enchantment (R)
All creatures have dream. (They can be blocked by tapped creatures and can't be blocked by untapped creatures.)
Creatures you control enter the battlefield tapped.

The Hero's Sword
Legendary Artifact - Equipment (R)
When The Hero's Sword enters the battlefield, create a 1/1 white Soldier creature token, then attach The Hero's Sword to it.
Equipped creature's name is Hero of the Realm, it's legendary in addition to its other types, it gets +4/+4, and it has first strike and vigilance.
Equip

Nargoth's Ring
Legendary Artifact - Equipment (R)
Equipped creature has menace and gets +1/+1 for each card in your hand.
At the beginning of your upkeep, sacrifice equipped creature. If you do, draw a card. Otherwise, you lose 2 life.
Equip

Nocturnality
Enchantment (R)
Skip your untap step.
At the beginning of your end step, you lose all unspent mana, then untap all permanents you control.



I think the best part of this card is being able to have mana up for counterspells and then still cast a sorcery-speed thing with that mana if you don't use it. It also gives pseudo-vigilance.

Vessel of Remembrance
Enchantment (U)
Spirit creatures you control get +1/+1.
Sacrifice Vessel of Remembrance: Exile up to two target creatures. Return those cards to the battlefield under their owner's control at the beginning of the next end step.

Vessel of Mindlessness
Enchantment (U)
Zombie creatures you control get +1/+1.
Sacrifice Vessel of Mindlessness: Look at the top three cards of your library. Put one into your hand and the rest into your graveyard.

Vessel of Decadence
Enchantment (U)
Vampire creatures you control get +1/+1.
Sacrifice Vessel of Decadence: It deals 3 damage to target player.

Vessel of Instinct
Enchantment (U)
Each creature you control that's a Wolf or a Werewolf gets +1/+1.
Sacrifice Vessel of Instinct: Add .

Vessel of Grace
Enchantment (U)
Human creatures you control get +1/+1.
Sacrifice Vessel of Grace: Destroy target artifact or enchantment.

Emissary of New Phyrexia
Artifact Creature - Scout (C)
When Emissary of New Phyrexia enters the battlefield, diminish 1. (Choose a creature with the highest toughness among creatures your opponents control and put a -1/-1 counter on it.)
The town of Ilnark was prepared to fight an army, but not an infection.
3/2

Cruel Justice
Sorcery (U)
Diminish 4. (Choose a creature with the highest toughness among creatures your opponents control and put four -1/-1 counters on it.)
"I will tear away all that makes you imperfect."
—Elesh Norn, Mother of Machines

Doom Dragon
Artifact Creature - Dragon (M)
Flying, haste
Whenever Doom Dragon attacks, diminish 2. (Choose a creature with the highest toughness among creatures your opponents control and put two -1/-1 counters on it.)
"Just when we thought we were gaining ground, the dragon engines arrived."
—Mikrin, Commander of the South
4/4

-1/-1 counters are most interesting when they stick around on the battlefield, rather than instantly killing things. What I like about diminish is that it inherently leads to this type of gameplay. Here I imagine it in a set where New Phyrexia is invading some plane. It would be primary in black and red, and secondary in white. It's a bend in white, for sure, but the fact that it goes after the biggest thing does make it feel more white, in a Topple/Smite the Monstrous kind of way.

Resilient Macetail
Creature - Dinosaur (U)
Resilient Macetail has indestructible as long as it hasn't been dealt damage this turn.
"It shrugs off most magic like it's nothing, but get one good stab at its underbelly and it's gone."
—Migelo, Adanto hunter
3/4

Land of the Lost
Land (U)
When Land of the Lost enters the battlefield, put the top two cards of your library into your graveyard.
: Add .

Thought these were cute names for Lorwyn charms. Mechanics came later.

Charming Afternoon
Instant (U)
Choose one —
• Tap up to two target creatures.
• Target creature gains indestructible until end of turn.
• You may put a Kithkin creature card with converted mana cost 3 or less from your hand onto the battlefield.

Charming Interruption
Instant (U)
Choose one —
• Counter target spell unless its controller pays .
• Draw a card.
• Exile up to two target Faeries, then return them to the battlefield under their owner's control.

Charming Adventure

Charming Stroll
Instant (U)

• Create a 2/2 green Wolf creature token.

Unravel from Within
Instant (R)
Counter target spell if it shares a color with a color of mana spent to cast this spell.
The more you've studied a type of magic, the more you can see its threads, and the easier it is to grab one and pull.

Tragic Betrayal
Instant (U)
Destroy target creature if it shares a color with a color of mana spent to cast this spell.
"There is no escape from my corruption."
—Malanar, Wood King

These are cool. The first one reminds me of a stupid Ice Cave deck I made once. Your version is probably a lot more fun.

Stars Align
Instant (U)
Look at the top five cards of your library. Put one of those cards into your hand, one into your graveyard, one on top of your library, and one on the bottom of your library. Exile the remaining card.

Disclaimer: This is a joke post inspired by Evil Boros Charm.

Black's entire slice of the color pie is just Boros with bad PR. We've all seen Smiting Helix as an example of this. Here's more proof.

Joyful Gasp
Instant
Prevent the next 3 damage that would be dealt by target creature this turn. Joyful Gasp deals 3 damage to that creature.

Fake News
Sorcery
Until end of turn, players can't draw cards.
Target player discards two cards, then draws two cards.

Convict
Choose one —
• Convict deals 3 damage to target creature.
• Destroy target creature with toughness 4 or greater.

Connoisseur of Souls
Creature - Demon (U)
Sacrifice an untapped creature: You gain 1 life.
Sacrifice a tapped creature: Each opponent loses 1 life.
"A strong corrupt taste to this one, but with some lighter notes of former innocence and just a hint of regret."
2/2

Therbront, Trophy Hunter
Legendary Creature - Elf Archer (R)
Haste
, Sacrifice two other creatures: Draw cards equal to the difference in power between the two sacrificed creatures.
"All creatures, great and small, have a place in my collection."
4/3

Journey Through Flame
Instant (U)
Exile target creature. At the beginning of the next end step, return it to the battlefield under its owner's control and deal 4 damage to it.
Getting through Devils' Pass is easy. Getting through it alive, on the other hand...

Cool card, although I think 4 damage pushes it into the territory of mostly just being a quirky removal spell.
Needs a damage source though and to be named 'Journey Through the Fire and Flames'
