So, as much as I love this series, I have my doubts anyone is going to guess it. It's a much older game and though it's very well regarded, it never seemed to hit critical mass enough to garner the attention I feel it deserves. Which is funny because it's had multiple rereleases, but really probably can't crack out of the cult classic status.

Aspiring Hero
Legendary Creature - Human Peasant
Aspiring Hero gets +1/+1 for each color among dragons you control.
If Aspiring Hero's power is 6 or more, it becomes a Human Knight and gains protection from colors of permanents you control.
When Aspiring Hero enters the battlefield, create a 1/1 white cat dragon creature token with flying.
[2/2]

Total Icon
Legendary Creature - Human
Heroic - Whenever you cast a spell that targets Total Icon, put a shield counter on it. If it already has a shield counter, it deals 1 damage to any target instead.
[1/1]

So... I think this is a very clever expression of mechanics to mechanics, but the flavor is probably obscured by the tech used for it. I'll be interested if someone actually guesses it.

This stumped me, but it's totally Mario isn't it? That's pretty clever.

@Barinellos: Is the the "Aspiring Hero" Hiccup from How to Train Your Dragon? THe dragon token being white gives me pause, but the broad strokes fit.
Oh, wait, you mention it's a game. ... Eh, wrote the post already anyway.

@Barinellos: I'm not familiar enough with the subject matter to say what it is exactly, but that 2nd card feels a lot like something from the Fate franchise.

Video Game Boss

Legendary Snow Creature - Fairy
Flying
Whenever Video Game Boss deals damage to a creature, tap that creature and put a stun counter on it.
, : Video Game Boss deals 1 damage to target creature unless that creature's controller pays . Repeat this process X times. (You may choose the same or different targets each time.)
2/1

Avid Climber-
Legendary Creature-Human Scout
When Avid Climber enters the battlefield, an opponent creates Dark Reflection, a 1/1 Legendary black Human Nightmare creature token with protection from Avid Climber.
When Dark Reflection dies, put a +1/+1 counter and a flying counter on Avid Climber.
"I can make it!"
2/2

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.

Not going to lie, I am starting to seriously question my media literacy with my inability to guess some of these.

Well Known Title
Legendary Artifact - Vehicle
Wizardcycling
Trample, Ward
Crew 4
Well Known Title is an artifact creature if you control an Elemental.

[8/8]

070, The Best

1/1

Would it so happen to be a certain gentleman from Georgia?

Series Protatonist

Legendary Creature - Human Cleric
Flying
