I forgot about this thread but yeah, got it in one.

A function of a series
Legendary Artifact Creature - Equipment Pegasus
Equipped Creature gains Double Strike.
If Equipped Creature would be destroyed, unequip ~ instead.
Reconfigure:
[0/5]


Really only looking for what series this is a reference to.

@Barinellos- Knights of the zodiac?

Correct!
I would have also accepted Saint Seiya

Here's a new set

Video Game Protagonist

Legendary Creature - Human Archaeologist
When Video Game Protagonist becomes tapped, you may discard a card. If you do, create a treasure token.
As long as Video Game Protagonist is equipped, it has ", Sacrifice an artifact: Draw a card"
2/2

Setting
Legendary Land
: Add
, : Create a treasure token
Sacrifice eight treasures: Transform Setting
//
Final Boss
Legendary Land Creature - Avatar
Final Boss is all colors.
Creature cards in your hand have Mutate . They can only Mutate under Final Boss when cast for this Mutate cost.
9/9

Series A Video Game Protagonist
Legendary Creature - Human Warlock
Whenever another creature dies, you may pay . If you do, exile it. ~ gains all abilities of that creature until end of turn.
[2/2]

Could be one of two series given the similarities and the fact they were designed by the same person.

I think I'll take a stab at saying Tomb Raider.
I mean, I might very well be off but that's my initial thoughts.

@Barinellos
The theme is spot-on, but I was looking for a different more pixel-y riff on the esteemed Dr. Jones.
I'm also unsure what the final boss of any tomb raider game is so I don't know if that was a "false friend" or not.


Here's an entirely different game for the road.

Protagonist

Legendary Artifact Creature - Soldier
Whenever an equipment enters the battlefield under your control, you may attach it to Protagonist. If you do, put a shield counter on protagonist
1/1

Penultimate Area
Land
: Add
, : Create a flower token (It's a red artifact with ", , Sacrifice this artifact: transform target rabbit.")

Friendly NPC

Creature - Rabbit Peasant
Lifelink
1/3
//
Massive Mook
{} Creature - Rabbit Ogre
Trample
6/6

TK-10 |
Legendary Creature - Human Performer

Hexproof from white
When ~ enters then battlefield, open an attraction.
At the beginning of each other player's precombat main phase, roll to visit your attractions unless that player has you create a treasure token.

3/3

@Tevish Szat

Spelunky and Cave Story?

#2 is spot on, #1 is still not quite there. I may have gone too obscure; I thought it was a game a lot of people would know but these are some good incorrect guesses.

Here are some extra cards to go with Entry #1

Sleepy Guide

Legendary Creature - Human Advisor
Sleepy Guide enters the battlefield tapped and doesn't untap during its controller's untap step.
: Draw a card.
0/3

Third Area Boss

Legendary Creature - Lizard
Haste
: Third Area Boss gets +1/+0 until end of turn and deals 1 damage to any target
6/5

Second Area
Legendary Land
: Add . If there is a Giant in your graveyard, add one mana of any color instead.
: Transform Second Area.
//
Alternate Second Area
Legendary Land
: Add one mana of any color and draw a card. Activate this ability only if there are five or more giant cards in your graveyard.
: Transform Alternate Second Area

Yeah, I was going to guess Spelunky. Didn't think of Cave Story, but that fits the other one.

I figured this was too obscure. It's John Ward and Gary Miller from Faith: THe Unholy Trinity.

Okay, so before I throw in the towel, I'll put in one more card as a hint, though I imagine this will quickly give it away. And if it does, I want to point out how cheeky the ability on the Vehicle is.

Titular Hero
Legendary Creature - Fox Pilot
Haste
When you cast Titular Hero, you may search for any number of Pilot creature cards with total power 4 or less and put them into your hand.
Whenever a pilot crews a vehicle you control, those vehicles gain haste.
[1/2]

Never played the series myself, but it's got to be Star Fox from that.

Whooops.
Yeah, that's correct. Sorry it took forever for me to actually confirm that.



Okay, I have to admit, I thought this one was pretty popular a while back, so the fact that nobody has guessed it is surprising. Nevertheless, I shall endeavor to add another card to maybe clear it up.

A Letter
Artifact - Clue
Whenever you remove the final Chapter counter from a saga, put a charge counter on A Letter.
If A Letter has five or more charge counters on it, if you would lose the game, you may sacrifice A Letter and shuffle your hand and graveyard into your library and your life total becomes your starting life total.
, : Draw a Card.

Nervebound Wargear
Artifact - Vehicle
If damage would be dealt to Nervebound Wargear, that damage to each creature that crewed Nervebound Wargear this turn instead.
Crew 2
5/5

I... kinda don't think anybody is going to get this one.
It's not from something I think of as being especially obscure, but I find myself doubting that the demographic here might have seen the media it's from.

Awoken Guardian
Legendary Creature - Angel Cat
Flying
At the end of your turn, return a card from your graveyard or exile to your library. If you do, put a +1/+1 counter on ~.
If ~ has ten +1/+1 counters on it, pay at the start of your upkeep or sacrifice ~.

[1/1]



Well... late to the party, but might as well.
Given the use of the term Nerve, I might hazard to say it's an Evangelion, but it could just as easily be a Jaeger from Pacific Rim.
Or, really, any of a number of other mechs from a lot of properties.

@barinellos you're supposed to put your guesses in spoiler blocks. As for whether your guess is right

Primal Lifegod
Legendary Creature - Beast God
: Return to the battlefield target creature card in your graveyard that was put there this turn.
When Primal Lifegod dies, you may destroy target creature. Put Primal Lifegod into your library third from the top.
7/7
