mirrislegend - A v powerful card 2 b sure and a good capture of the flavor of 3 people, yet its overall a bit boring, just a beatdown legend... sometimes those r good but I wanted more

Mergatrod jones - repeated removal on a land is so strong. the condition seems kinda flavorful yet random. I dunno if its printable even with that condition, seems like could cause a lock to 2 creatures easily

Subject16 - weve already seen Rusalky on Ravnica, this is not like the originals, flavorful yet simple design that gives feel of a plane but not so interactive

Spelldreamer - super efficient even being "1-use", and being able to land search this could cause problems, pretty unique effect tho

sephon19 - great classicl folk song reference but card is a lil odd. effect seems 2 easy to achieve, keeping only 1 creature back

Cardz5000 - This 1 is perfect. Total capture of Leshyy flavor and good unique gameplay effect 2. wish it could also copy a land, then would be perfect

void_nothing - interesting effect combo and nice reference 2 actual Tsarist government but could be too abuseable as a blink maybe

honorable void_nothing + Subject16
Winner Cardz5000

Okay, so this guy isn't MADE of blightsteel. But he smells like it, he's horrific & he kills people.

I can only hope that's enough.

It is excessively efficient, but I dunno. I think it's only pushed as far as the tokens, because it's not basic and has no land types. That being said, it's a little past the wheelhouse of City of Traitors but I reasoned that that is still easier to break with recursion. I was counting on the self shuffle to effectively make you jump for more hoops to get to it again. (I mean at the very least you have to recur something to search for it, and there is honestly still not much that searches for non-basic lands in the permanent field...I can count like four permanents and not all of those are even in modern.) I also was counting on the tokens not being that pushy, but then first hand draw with this is pretty mean in weenie.

So I played around with the idea of only one token, or making the tokens 0/1 tokens, or both, but in the end decided to go with how I'd push it to r n d if I was doing this for realz. It's tough, I couldn't find anything like it and thought it was a pretty cool concept.

Anyway:
Blightsteel Harvester - 2
Creature - Elf Zombie
:Add X mana of any color to your mana pool, where X is equal to the number of poison counters on you.

Thanks for the win. I'm not sure exactly what I imagined for the card flavor except for as described by the flavor text. This would probably be a story spotlight.

I know this seems like a *****post challenge but I'm very serious about you making physical dexterity cards.

With dexterity cards being relegated to silver border irl, are you looking those or black border dex cards? (or either)
