Right you are! That's a good alternate. And I somehow blanked entirely on the rebel type. Granted, I think Rebel is kind of a quietly deprecated type but it's been so long since Masques that I think it should be brought back (should have been brought back in Aether Revolt, as much as I hate to admit Aether Revilt was a set)

Unsurprisingly, I pretty much agree in totality. I arrived later than Masques, so I've never really been privy to the actual damage rebels caused, only knowing it by reputation.

Had this idea flash into my head and it's one of the dumbest designs I've created and I kind of love it for that:

Video Game Vehicle
Artifact - Vehicle
Flying
, : ~ gains "Ward ".
, : ~ can't be blocked until end of turn.
5/4


As an aside, I feel like I might be overloading the thread, and if so, I want to apologize. Just let me know if I need to slow down or stop.

Bloodthirsty Brawler
Creature - Human Demon Berserker
Whenever a creature an opponent controls dies, if Bloodthirsty Brawler was put into a graveyard from the battlefield this turn, you may return it from your graveyard to the battlefield.
: Bloodthirsty Brawler gets +1/+0 until end of turn.
2/2

I think this one should be fairly easy.
I'm also curious if I should post any hints on the entries nobody has gotten yet.
I'm interested in getting hints for the ones everyone else had posted that haven't been solved.

Anyway, card

?????
Legendary Creature - Imp
Soulbond
Defender
As long as ~ is paired, it loses Defender and gains Shadow. The creature it is paired with becomes a 2/2 Wolf with vigilance in addition to its other abilities.
3/3

Guessing the imp is Midna

Here are some hints for unguessed entries


Active hints
A historical Figure, but a fictional version is in mind.
The figure lived closer to the modern day than Tomás de Torquemada did
The figure was female
New Hint
The figure lived on the continent of North America.


I'm not proud of this design because I feel like I over-engineered it as a card, but that was trying to counterbalance the obscure source.
New Hint
This character first appears as a villain.


I'd like to thank Unfinity for making "Robot" a type ("Alien" too for that matter)
New Hint
The anime came out in 2018


In retrospect I probably would have been safe giving the base creature here the Human type.
New Hint
The game this character comes from is a fairly traditional RPG.


New Hint
This one comes from an indie game with 2d graphics.

@Cato: Guts?

I suspect the others are outside my experience.

@tp wrong

Belatedly, yes of course, that's the crew that I intended the cards to be.

Helical Aspirant
Creature - Human Pilot
Double strike
Whenever Helical Aspirant crews a vehicle, that vehicle gains double strike until end of turn.
2/2

@cato: Simon, from Gurren Lagann

Time Manipulator

Legendary Creature - Human Wizard
If you would lose the game, instead exile all other permanents you control, draw cards until you have seven cards in hand, your life total becomes 20, and you take an extra turn after this one. End the turn.
2/2

yup.

Videogame Character
Legendary creature - Beast Warrior
Haste
~ has power and toughness equal to the number of treasures you control.
If damage would be dealt to ~, prevent that damage. Roll a d6, create or sacrifice treasures until you control treasures equal to the result minus two.
*/*

Videogame Character 2
Legendary creature - Beast Warrior
Flying
: Target creature gains flying until end of turn.
2/2

It's from the same game.

@Tevish- I feel like that could be a couple of characters. You mightneed to specify a medium.
But I'm guessing Subaru Natsuki?

That has to be Sonic and Miles 'Tails' Prower, right?

Aaarrrgh has it!
I was worried the 1st one might be obtuse and the 2nd would be overly obvious. I realize now that I messed up the creature type on #2.

@TPmanW: Right medium, wrong character.

Dread Myth
Legendary Artifact Creature - Construct Army
~ enters the battlefield with X +1/+1 counters.
If damage would be dealt to ~, remove that many +1/+1 counters from it and create that many treasures.
Sacrifice a Treasure: Put a +1/+1 counter on ~.
[0/0]

@Barinellos: The Golden Army, per Hellboy II?

JRPG Protagonist

Legendary Creature - Human Pirate
JRPG Protagonist has flying as long as you control a vehicle with flying.
When JRPG Protagonist or a vehicle it crewed this turn deals combat damage to a player, you may gain control of target artifact that player controls. If you don't, create a treasure token.
Partner with Childhood Friend or Mysterious Waif
2/1

Aye! I tried to think of how to work in the monarch as well, but the complexity level didn't need any more stress.

As to your entry: Vyse from Skies of Arcadia?

Correct! I put in the weird Partner With ability but honestly if we got a Secret Lair I'd like it if the whole crew had a Friends Forever style internal partner.

All told, the pirate part was pretty much the biggest clue, because otherwise those were very broad clues.
