MTG Salvation

Seems well costed. Smack dab between Swords to Plowshares and Unmake. Being sorcery speed really balances this.

Serenity 2WW
Enchantment (R)
Players can only cast spells and activate abilities any time they could cast a sorcery. (This doesn't affect mana abilities)
Gaea wrapped her hands around the chaos, and when she opened them only serenity remained.

The graveyard return effect seems fair, but the "Stick" drawing 3 cards effect is really strong. The drawback of this card is no matter what choice you make, you're losing life. But you can get around that by using fetchlands and returning them for 0 life loss with "Twist". Overall, looks fine but I'd make it draw 2 cards instead of 3.

Serpent's Strike 1G
Instant (U)
While you're searching your library, you may cast ~ from your library.
Put a 1/1 snake token with deathtouch onto the battlefield blocking target creature attacking you.

It's Ambush Viper, but it's pretty at ambushing

It's very strong, a super efficient combat guy. Could work as a rare, but doesn't feel red to me. Is there a reason it has protection from Green instead of White? Historically the only colours red has been able to get protection from are White and Blue (and occasionally Red too)


Ashenwing Phoenix RRBB
Creature - Phoenix (R)
Haste, Flying
When ~ dies, return it to your hand. At the beginning of your next pre-combat main phase, add RRBB to your mana pool.
3/3

Looks pretty mythic, combos absurdly with Cathar's Crusade. Pretty much exclusively designed for Commander where she'll be in any that that abuses +1/+1 counters ie) Marath, Ghave etc.

Lost Realms2GW
Instant (U)
Exile all lands you control then return them to the battlefield under your control.

If you have 5+ lands, it's a ramp spell. Otherwise it just triggers landfall, ETB effects etc. etc.

Probably needs to cost a bit more. This card grabs you practically any land, artifact or Eldrazi and costs less than Golden Wish and Ithink the two have comparable power level. Maybe at 2UU.


Progenitor Wave WUBRG
Sorcery (M)
For each color, return one target permanent of that color from your graveyard to the battlefield.


Note the lack of "up to one", this card won't work without 5 targets, one of each colour

I dig it. For just one more mana this is a lot more playable than Racecourse Fury, since you aren't effectively going down 1 mana to add haste to a creature.

Perfect Defense 1GW
Instant (R)
Choose one -

• Permanents you control gain indestructible until end of turn.
• Permanents you control gain hexproof until end of turn.

Entwine 2 (Choose both if you pay the entwine cost.)

Not broken, it looks fine to me. This card could probably be mono-white since tapping creatures and gaining life are both white effects. I think as a rare this card could stand to be made instant.

Parallel Universe 8UU
Enchantment (M)
Whenever another player puts a permanent onto the battlefield, you may put a token that is a copy of that permanent onto the battlefield.
Whenever another player casts an instant or sorcery spell, you may that spell and may choose new targets for the copy.

This could work as a rare but as an uncommon it's too powerful. In limited this card is absolutely the nuts. Also needs to be "X target creatures"


Cleanse the Chaff 2WW
Sorcery (R)
Exile all enchantments and artifacts. For each permanent exiled this way, its controller gains 3 life.

Anxiety is interesting, a sort of reverse intimidate effect where the creature becomes harder to block with the more colours it has. As an effect I like it, but this card is too weak. For its mana cost, this thing needs to be a 2/2 or 3/1.

Auger's Inspiration 2RB
Enchantment (R)
RB: Exile all cards in your hand face down. At the beginning of the next end step, return those cards to your hand.
Hellbent- As long as you have no cards in your hand, you may play cards from your graveyard. If a card would be put into your graveyard from anywhere, exile that card instead

Wording is off, you need to make the choice AS it enters the battlefield. As is, you make the choice and it's already too late for the Oblivion Ring effect to trigger. Power level is about right but this many effects on a single card is sloppy design.

Anguish 2BB
Creature - Incarnation (R)
Flash, Intimidate
~ enters the battlefield with X +1/+1 counters, where X is the amount of life lost by all players this turn.
0/0

Master of the Mystic Arts is:
1. Very overpowered
2. Sloppy design

It's just words on words on words and even with half those effects it would be very broken.


Festertouch Demon 1BB
Creature - Demon (R)
Flying, Wither
At the beginning of your upkeep, put a -1/-1 counter on each creature you control.
5/5

It's an incredibly powerful fieldwipe for cat tribal. Though 9 life lost is a lot of life. Heh 9 lives. I getcha.

Stymie 3UU
Instant (R)
Counter target spell. That spell's controller skips his or her next untap step.

Looks okay, reminds me a lot of (Under)Whelming Wave. A bit weak, for 4 mana removing all the bears and below from play isn't the strongest effect. This card probably need "targetting" if you can pick and choose what to return.


Grandiose Visions BB
Sorcery (R)
Search your library for a card with converted mana cost 8 or higher. Reveal that card and put it in your hand. Shuffle your library

Looks quite fair. Not strictly better than a swamp and the reanimation effect looks fairly costed. You could probably make it cost 1 life to generate a B, or make this thing etb tapped as 2 life per activation is very steep.

Encumbering Wardstones 1UU
Artifact (U)
Whenever a creature attacks you or a planeswalker you control it gets -X/-0 where X is the number of attacking creatures.

It's a bond beetle but better, which is good because bond beetle was just awful. I don't think I can say anything else about it. Well except that it's weird a snail is more aggressive than a beetle.

Praetor's Boon 2
Artifact - Equipment (R)
As long as ~ is equipped to a creature, at the beginning of your upkeep put a -1/-1 counter on the equipped creature and draw a card.
Equip - 1
