MTG Salvation

@Abby: Zebrawood?! There's a tree named after my favorite animal?! Happy! Want!

Quote from Syphon

I thought elves were your favourite animals? Now I'm confused.

Elves aren't even my favorite tribe. >___>

Favorite animal: Zebra
Favorite colour: Purple
Favorite Tribe: I 'unno... Aurochs
Elves? Nissa.

Why do you like Nissa?


PG: Weston for a boy, Bellamy for a girl. Not sure? Domino.

Favorite Tribe: Angels... Maybe Planeswalkers?
Favorite Animal: Does pikachu count?
Favorite Color: Black or Blue...
Favorite Food: Sushi

EDIT: @Stardust: I'll leave it up to her to figure out a name. I listed off Disney princess names as thing I wouldn't want to see... i.e Mulan, Rapunzel, Belle, Cinderella, Ariel, Jasmine, Tinkerbell...

Favorite animal: Cats? Maybe snakes... but probably cats.
Favorite tribe: ...I seem to like Elves too.
Favorite color: #0099ff

@pikachugundam: I guess the child isn't going to be named Aurora then?

@Abby: That pen looks awesome! Looks perfect!

Anyways... after what pikachugundam said a while back about this, I decided to correct the knees in my sketch. (It's a good thing this sketch is in black-and-white, so that erasing is easier. And I should have this sketch be as correct as possible so that I can use this as a reference for later ones.)

(Old sketch, for reference)

Quote from Stardust

Why do you like Nissa?

Because she's awesome! She can fight, she's beautiful... She has flaws and strengths... She's just awesome!

Favorite Food: Either Bangers and Mash or General Tso's Chicken

Quote from Syphon

I meant Syphon. Not my real name. Beyond RJ, nobody else can pronounce it or even come close. In fact, back in Ireland, my business strategy professor wouldn't even try.
I offered him a few alternatives like James (a nice stand in for the J in English
speaking countries that I like to use) or even the English equivalent of my real name, the R.

But no. Nothing. Poor man. He was called Gerry. Pronounced exactly the same as Jerry, just in case you are wondering.

Just call yourself Rick James. That gives you license to do just about anything, pretty sure.

Something like that?

She's a bit busted. And how would dying make their spark ignite?

I'd be more for...

When there are 3 or more spark counters on ~, you may exile ~. If you do, return it to the battlefield transformed at the beginning of the next end step.

-2: Put X 0/1 green Plant tokens where X is equal to the number of lands you control.
-10: Search your library for up to 2 creature cards and put them onto the battlefield. Then shuffle your library

Dying is usually how the spark ignites!

Best example: Nissa's spark ignited when she was a little girl after she nearly died! Lya doesn't die, she ascends and that saves her!

I would suggest that we delay the return of the planeswalker to the beginning of your next main phase as opposed to anything else. That way you can use the + ability immeadiatly as opposed to needing it to survive an entire player turn before you can increase its loyalty.

PG once you hit 3 spark counters that Transform ability would keep firing once it left the stack. You would be stuck in the same phase until you transformed the creature.

+2: Target player gains 4 life.
-2: Put two 1/1 white Hound creature tokens with vigilance onto the battlefield.
-8: You get an emblem that says "Creatures you control have lifelink and double strike."

Better?

Nope. Main phase DQ not upkeep. As it is with your edit there are still 2 opportunities for some one to blast the planeswalker off the table before we can boost the loyalty, upkeep and draw step.

Even if she comes down in the mainphase she will remain in Lightning bolt range for a full turn cycle. If we do life gain for the + ability I would have it as a +2 minimum or up the starting loyalty.

So we're doing something like Magus of the Vineyard's trigger, eh?

Almost, if we keep it as next main phase you can have it run into combat and then have it return in the same turn as opposed to having to wait for it to arrive.

I would think that'd get a little confusing. A lot of players I know even forget that the post combat main phase exists... Plus, I think waiting a turn is a good thing. It cuts the power down just slightly.

So we're going with a creature -> planeswalker this time? Sounds cool.

Planeswalkers are hard for me to design...

You could have, instead of creature -> planeswalker, a card that's planeswalker -> creature. There have been instances where characters have given up their spark for something or other, like saving somebody else, in which case you could do something like:

Jo Nameless X
Planeswalker - Jo
+X do something
0 return target creature from a graveyard to the battlefield under your control. Transform ~ at the beginning of the next upkeep.
-X do something better
-XX do something amazing

Jo Sparkless
Legendary Creature - Human Soldier (or something)
Some cool ability.
X/X

I'm terrible at making custom cards, so if this is a viable idea, somebody else would probably be better than me at making something like it.

Not spying?

I'm not bad at them... I just have trouble naming them.

I have a thousand planeswalker ideas! I've even made a one mana planeswalker... But she's black, so that won't help right now.

...It's been a while since I've done any real card design. I do have all the cards in Prismata (third set of my block) designed, and I'm just tweaking the cards and adding flavor text, but I don't have that many new ideas anymore.

You have that many designs? Wow... (And yes, giving proper names to characters is something I have trouble with too.)

Also, redid my sketch for the star jump.
(Note that I didn't color the sky in at all this time; I may want to fill in the blank space with other things in the future.)

How about this then...
