Not sure if this is the right place for this, but ever since making this card for a game, I had a story revolving around her a bit... so not all card designs are 100% mine, will link to original posts for ones that are not, I'll start with cards to tell the story, and might add more in between if people are interested.
Also, to fit the forum, feedback on the abilities and text of the cards would be appreciated.
Caretaker of the Garden2G
Creature - Elf Druid {U}
Landfall - Whenever a land enters the battlefield under your control, you may put a 0/1 green Plant creature token onto the battlefield. "To bring and preserve nature is the greatest joy to the caretakers, I hope to one day share our gifts with the world" - Matalia, Caretaker Deciple
1/2
Moving on to her legendary form, originaly posted by Metalmessiah17:
Matalia of the Gardens2GG
Legendary Creature - Elf Druid {R}
At the beginning of your upkeep, you may discard a land from your hand. If you do, search your library for a basic land and put that card into your hand. Shuffle your library.
Return an untapped Forest to your hand: Put a 0/2 green plant token onto the battlefield under your control. Under her care, the Gardens fluorished, constantly changing to a new landscape each morning.

She became great... but it wasn't to last... next was originally posted by reebtoor:
Herin the Mad1BR
Legendary Creature - Human Berserker
Whenever Herin the Mad attacks, burn target land (Put a burn counter on that land. At the beginning of that land's controller's upkeep, that land deals 1 damage to its controller).
Herin the mad gets +1/+1 for each burned land your opponents control.
1/1
And... what he did... (original addition):
Herin's Glee3RRR
Instant
Destroy target basic land, deal 2 damage to all creatures that share a color with color mana that that land could produce of your choice. Burn baby Burn
Another addition of what happened to her:
Gardens Sorrow2BB
Instant
Put X 1/1 black weed creature tokens with deathtouch onto the battlefield, where X is the number of creatures put into the graveyard this turn.
If a Land was put into the graveyard this turn, put twice as many tokens into play instead. Though the Gardens died, the magic did not, what grew then no longer were examples of life and harmony, but of death and misery
And what she became... originally posed by Me(and slightly edited now)
Matalia, of the Cursed Gardens3BG
Legendary Creature - Spirit Elf Druid
~ comes into play with four -1/-1 counters on it. BB,t, Remove a -1/-1 counter from ~: Put a 1/1 Black Weed Creature Token with deathtouch onto the battlefield, then target player loses life equal to the number of Weed Creature Tokens in play. Her mind was lost when her gardens were burned, she continues to tend what is no longer there, and attacks all who approach
5/5
And so far that's the tale of Matalia in cards... I am tempted to add more story, but for now I will leave it at that...
