I guess it's a cool card, but I don't think it feels mythic. Paying 7 to untap a single ally also feels weak. If it untapped every ally, then I think it would be more interesting.

Shinen-
Flavor: It's a bird. It has flavor in a technical sense, but not actual, real, juicy flavor. 5/10
Design: This is an interesting design as it gives your birds two uses, often in the same phase. Well done. 8.5/10
Power: I feel that this is reasonable and not OP, but I'm not a developer. 4/5
Total: I like the card a lot, but it lacks in flavor heavily. 17.5/25
KH -
Flavor: This card's flavor makes a lot of sense and is tasty af. Very well done. 9/10
Design: The ability to simply remove a bird from combat is cool and somewhat unique. I like the overall design. 7.5/10
Power: I feel that a 2/2 flier with a relevant ability and anthem effect for 3 is maybe a bit too good. 2.5/5
Total: Very nice flavor and some cool abilities. I'm a bit worried about the power, though. 19/25
Scarbo -
Flavor: I understand the flavor, but the second ability kinda ruins the flavor for me. Why would a calm birdkeeper want his kids to fight? 5/10
Design: It's not that unique, and it isn't especially fun. Overall kinda boring. 6/10
Power: Well, this isn't OP, that's for sure. Not the best even at that though. 4/5
Total: A bit boring, which is what I dislike most. 15/25

Forestsguy: Worm Host is an ok uncommon creature, and the idea of a giant mass of wurms constantly shedding them seems cool. At 7 mana, even at uncommon, I feel that it should be doing more, and it seems like a reasonable card, but just not that exciting or scary. Barney-the-Purple-Dinosaur/10.
Necarg: Arixmethes certainly is big, and should be costing 10 mana. Having trample is nice to, meaning that just having a 1/1 to snack on doesn't stop it. But given that it costs so much mana, and its ability costs even more, I'm having trouble getting excited by it. I think that Kozilek is a good standard for expensive creatures to be compared against, and to me even with pseudo-survivability this doesn't really do enough for me to really like it. Plus, I don't really get the flavor of 'the Serpent City'. Dracula-before-his-morning-coffee/10
Shinen: Iseal isn't the biggest creature in this contest, but it sure is scary. It eats a land a player turn, is aggresively costed, and can potentially tap out a players board on key turns. I feel it is a bit too agressively costed for what it does, but even if dialed back to CMC 7 or 8 it would still be quite threatening (I think 7 is the sweet spot). Barney-on-Steroids-and-Bathsalts/10.
The winner is Shinen. The next category is 'spells without a casting cost'.
Forgot to clarify, Arixmethes is a giant lizard in Theros that Kiora notes is larger than Kozilek (Thus a 13/13). Kiora tries to bring it to Zendikar to stop the Eldrazi, but Thassa stops her and ends up losing her bident.

Necarg-A pretty fun design. When we knew miracle was coming, I was really hoping to see designs like this-very powerful cards that could only be cast as a miracle. I think the power level is pretty right on the money, though I might have pushed it a bit higher (4/1, maybe?). 8.5/10

SelsnyaNewLife-I like the thought here a lot, but I don't think this design is quite right templating-wise. Or timing wise period-looking at the top of your library, when you're allowed to do so, is an all the time thing; makes handling this trigger hard. 5/10
