MTG Salvation

Quote from Apoquallyp

That's not english pronunciation. That's just wrong pronunciation.

Reminds me of Innistrad drafts, where pros where discussing if Sturmgeist should be pronounced just normal wrong or advanced wrong.

Borrowing old or obscure words from other languages or deriving words from them is always fine, but don't just use an everyday word and hope no one will find out because "who speaks that language anyway?"

Well I speak English and that's how I sound it out making it wrong yes but I liked the sound and I knew full well about it being everyday dutch it means what I wanted and sounds cool either way wrongly or rightly pronounced.

This is silly for the same reason Xathrid Gorgon is silly; statues can't block.

Also... how many creatures are going to survive a 5-power hit anyway?

This is a game which contains the creature type Wall

No they have //gatherer.wizards.com/Pages/Search/Default.aspx?text=+[split">+[second]"]Splitsecond.

Obviously, Dreadbore is total flavor fail.

//gatherer.wizards.com/Pages/Search/Default.aspx?type=+[curse">||subtype=+[curse]"]Curses effect players directly.

A set called "Gevangenis". You just made me realise how strange it would be for me if there ever really was a set that used Dutch words...

I was looking at different languages words for "prison" and thought Gevangenis sounded the coolest. Well in an English pronunciation [ghe-VAAN-jen-iss]

Also, Delve is not a good choice. Delve is a mechanic that fights against itself. If it ever appears in a normal set, it will be in small numbers, probably in a cycle of 1 card in each color. It doesn't work in large numbers!

I'll take this into account.

I tweaked Abhorrent growth so that it resembles Fireblast more however I kept the cmc low as it is a pump spell rather than direct damage. Also made Faultless Guard cast worthy with a more unique effect I don't know though if it's cost is too low now?

Gevangenis is a plane of muted colors, cold light and pale shadows. Who's inhabitant are from somewhere else and whom they themselves do not remember where nor why they are here. A place where time is distorted and linear history nearly impossible to determine. Where nothing is born but never truly dies.

However there were those who were different than all others. They waged war on the "horde of flesh & metal" the wardens of this prison. They utterly destroyed them and wiped all traces of their existence from the face of Gevangenis. But in they were too thorough in their warden's extermination and they failed in finding they key to their prison.
In resignation they divided the realm amongst themselves and began their great works. Sacrificing their "divinity" to shape the land to their liking. Providing light, sustenance, darkness, heat, and growth.
For that the Gevangenes gathered around them in awe and gratitude; constructing grand monuments of them and cities around them.

And for a period there was a golden era nearly free of the past cruel existence and crushing despair. But like all good things come to an end so too did this bright time. For unknown reasons the sun began to dim and the water began to stagnate. Fire has waned and life began to wither. Even the dark became hollow and grey.
It is long after this period that you have unfortunately arrived here planeswalker. Beware for on Gevangenis not even death is an escape.

So this is a set I have been cooking up for the past week.
As the setting suggests that "graveyard matters" is the theme but I didn't want it to just be reanimation heavy.
Since Delve has as of yet made an appearance I thought it might fit right in here. I'm still deciding on what other keyworded abilities to bring back. I was thinking either Echo or Suspend. I have a few ideas of implementing either.

Anyways here's a random pack:

Storm Apparition 2UU
Creature - Elemental Spirit {Uncommon}
Flying
Echo 2UU
When you pay Storm Apparition’s Echo cost you may return up to two target creatures to their owners hand.
2/2

Gaping Void Gorgon 6B
Creature - Gorgon Mutant {Rare}
At the end of combat put a petrification counter on creatures dealt damage by Gaping Void Gorgon.
Creatures with petrification counters can't attack or block or activate abilities and becomes a colorless artifact in addition to its other types. Its activated abilities can’t be activated. (A creature with defender can’t attack.)
5/5

Multiplicity 2R
Instant {Uncommon}
Copy target ability if it isn’t a mana ability. You may choose new targets for the copy.

Abhorrent Growth 1G
Instant {Common}
As an additional cost to cast Abhorrent Growth sacrifice a forest.
Target creature gets +5/+5 until the end of turn.

Quintessence Beetle 2G
Creature - Insect {Uncommon}
Exile a creature card from your graveyard: Quintessence Beetle is indestructible until the end of turn.
2/2

Faultless Guard WW
Instant {Common}
Prevent all damage that would be dealt to you or target creature you control this turn.

How about this?
Rabith of the Strangling Vines 6GGGG
Legendary Creature- Incarnation {Mythic}
Forests you control are 6/6 green Elemental creatures with reach and trample. They’re still lands.
Forests you control untap at the end of your turn and nonforest lands your opponents control don’t untap until the end of their turn.
When Rabith of the Strangling Vines is put into a graveyard from anywhere, shuffle it into its owner’s library.
3/12

Gleaner Rabith 6GGGG
Legendary Creature - Incarnation {Rare}
Reach
As long as Gleaner Rabith is on the battlefield forests you control are 6/6 green Elemental creatures with reach. They’re still lands.
When Gleaner Rabith is put into a graveyard from anywhere, shuffle it into its owner’s library.
3/12

She is one of five "gods" of Gevangenis. All of them have a converted casting cost of 10 and really want their abilities to present their "epic-ness". Something comparable to an Eldrazi but one notch below.

I'm wondering how any of it's abilities has to do with it being a mage?

WTF?

Graveborn Muse

Needs to change planeswalker type.

Voidcult Knight Kranst 3BB
Legendary Creature Zombie Knight {Rare}
First strike
Eliminate (Whenever a creature dealt damage by ~ this turn dies, exile it instead.)
When a creature is exiled put a +1/+1 counter on Voidcult Knight Kranst.
4/4

Soul Hollow 1B
Creature - Zombie Spirit {Common}
When Soul Hollow dies place it on the bottom of your library instead.
2/1
The forces that keep all within Gevangenis imprisoned does not stop at death. We all return; save those devoured or those eliminated. We all return.

Bloodcraft 2BB
Instant {Uncommon}
As an additional cost to cast Bloodcraft, sacrifice a creature.
Target opponent loses 2 life, you gain 2 life and put two +1/+1 counters on target creature.

Blood Feeder BB
Creature - Vampire {Common}
You may choose not to untap Blood Feeder during your untap step.
t: Target creature gets -1/-1 for as long as Blood Feeder remains tapped.
0/1
Some vampires on Gevangenis are little more than parasites however they can be extremely dangerous.

Oh yeah, you're right!:thumbsup:

Especially with proliferate or something, it becomes broken.

Where are you getting the doubling of charge counters?

Eww, that's messy.

Forgot to remove the "end of turn text".
