Some early drafts for protagonists of a story I'm contemplating:
Aldret, Monster Hunter :3mana::symb::symb:
Legendary Creature - Human Mercenary
Whenever ~ attacks, the defending player sacrifices a creature with the highest power among creatures he or she controls.
:symb:: Target creature you don't control gets +2/+1 until end of turn. The greater the foe, the greater the payment.
4/4
Rhiana of Avenrest :2mana::symb::symb:
Legendary Creature - Vampire Assassin
Whenever a creature is put into a graveyard from play, put a +1/+1 counter on ~.
:symtap:: Destroy target creature with power less than ~'s power. Reborn a noble she prefers to feast on blue blood.
2/2
Amber Reyn :2mana::symr::symr:
Legendary Creature - Human Wizard
:xmana:, :symtap:: Reveal the top X cards of your library. You may play an instant or sorcery card with converted mana cost X or less revealed this way without paying its mana cost. Put the rest of the cards on the bottom of your library in any order. While you try to rain on her parade, she sets yours on fire.
2/2
Aldret: Interesting but extremely annoying ability - he'll never be killed in combat unless the opponent somehow has two 4+ power creatures. Why is the activated ability +1 toughness? Multiplayer? Isn't the entire point that you're pumping the creature so you can "target" the sacrifice effect? He may even be better without it, feels less "cheap" and more flavorful that way.
Rhiana: Not really interesting, but sure.
Amber: The punning is lame, but the card itself is fine. Maybe CMC X "or less"? It sucks to spend 6 mana to dig for Fireblast and only flip up three Lightning Bolts.

Chocolate Reyn2RR
Legendary Creature - Human Wizard
:symr:: If Chocolate Reyn is on the battlefield, flip a coin. If you win the flip, Chocolate Reyn deals 1 damage to each creature you don't control. If you lose the flip, Chocolate Reyn deals 1 damage to each creature you control. Some stay dry while others feel the pain.

How is this better than the original? At least the original had a hint of variety.

GENERATION 16 - (The first time you see this, copy it into your sig and add 1 to the generation. social experiment.)
Some new additions, some changes and some stuff I'm still happy with.
Aldret, Monster Hunter :3mana::symb::symb:
Legendary Creature - Human Mercenary
Whenever a creature with a counter on it is put into a graveyard, draw a card.
:2mana::symb:: Put a -1/-1 counter on target creature. No matter the size, eventually everyone falls.
4/4
Rhiana of Avenrest :2mana::symb::symb:
Legendary Creature - Vampire Assassin
Whenever a creature is put into a graveyard from play, put a +1/+1 counter on ~.
:symtap:: Destroy target creature with power less than ~'s power. Reborn a noble she prefers to feast on blue blood.
2/2
Gwen Sydre :2mana::symr::symr:
Legendary Creature - Human Wizard
:xmana:, :symtap:: Reveal the top X cards of your library. You may play an instant or sorcery card with converted mana cost X or less revealed this way without paying its mana cost. Put the rest of the cards on the bottom of your library in any order. The first trick she learnt was to never run out of tricks.
2/2
Shan Ellec :4mana::symr:
Legendary Creature - Human Shaman
Haste
:symtap:: Put two 2/1 red Elemental creature tokens onto the battlefield. They have haste and "Sacrifice this creature at the beginning of your end step." There are two sides to everything. His fight side by side.
4/2
Yara Arsen, Mage Beguiler :2mana::symu:
Legendary Creature - Human Wizard
Shroud
:symu::symu:, :symtap:: Copy target activated ability. Nothing you can't do she can't do better.
1/3
Enn the Gardener
Legendary Creature - Human Druid
Whenever you play a land from your hand, reveal the top card of your library. If it's a land card, put it into your hand. Otherwise you may put it onto the bottom of your library. "The moment we stop creating we lose our souls."

Planar Chaos was not a mistake neither was it random. You might want to look at it again.
[thread=239793][Game] Level Up - Creature[/thread]
I think Aldret would be more interesting without the activated ability, and with this instead:
"Whenever Aldret blocks or becomes blocked, put a -1/-1 counter on each creature blocking or being blocked by Aldret."
So you attack with him, get blocked by, say, two 3/3 creatures. Put two -1/-1 counters on them, they become 2/2. You kill one with a spell, draw a card. Kill the second with combat damage, draw a card.
It would be a pretty good beater.
Rhiana needs a mana cost for her ability, for balance. Something like 2B.
The rest seem nice, I like Enn and how Shan is symmetrical in P/T with the two tokens.

Finally a good white villain quote: "So, do I ever re-evaluate my life choices? Never, because I know what I'm doing is a righteous cause."

It's not supposed to be better or worse than the original. It's a joke. Search for Chocolate Rain on YouTube.
