As we wrap up Kaladesh month, we re-visit some of the cool cycles of cards, touch on the planeswalkers, and gloss over inventive artifacts. Kaladesh certainly proved we can have a set without dozens of new mechanics. For the finals, you’ll be creating cards that could have been, if the set were larger.
Challenge
Design the following:
a card with Fabricate
a Mythic Rare Gearhulk construct artifact creature card (with Gearhulk in its name) on roughly the same power level as the existing Gearhulk cycle
a Jace, Liliana or Ajani planeswalker card that somewhat fits with that person being on Kaladesh
Tournament legal cards only
You must have three cards (if one card satisfies multiple criteria, make another card that also does)
The Gearhulk may be of any color, be colorless, or even multiple colors — it just must have “Artifact Creature — Construct” in its typeline
Your submissions are due Sunday, December 4th, 23:59 CST.
As usual, the final winner will be determined by a public poll.
Electrified Gearhulk
Artifact Creature — Construct (M)
Lifelink
When Electrified Gearhulk enters the battlefield, it deals 2 damage to each other creature. A source of power for some, a source of pain for many.
5/5
Aether Weaver
Creature — Human Artificer (U)
Vigilance
Fabricate 2 (When this creature enters the battlefield, put two +1/+1 counters on it or create two 1/1 colorless Servo artifact creature tokens.)
Aether Weaver has lifelink as long as it has a +1/+1 counter on it. Otherwise, it has "Whenever an artifact enters the battlefield, you may gain 1 life."
1/2
Liliana, Devious Mind
Planeswalker — Liliana (M)
[+1]: Create a 2/2 black Zombie creature token.
[-1]: Each player sacrifices a creature.
[-8]: You get an emblem with "Each opponent's maximum hand size is reduced by seven."
