Reckless Gamble 2R
Enchantment (R)
If you would draw a card, you may choose to discard a card at random instead. If you
do, Reckless Gamble deals X damage to target creature or player, where X is the discarded card's converted mana cost.
Something has recently come up for me in real life I need to get ready for, and prerelease is this weekend, so I will try to have round 3 up monday. This means a critiques deadline extension. Enjoy your weekend and sorry for the inconvenience.
The guy with Torture ten is insane, because every turn, a player is taking two damage starting very early in the game, and not every deck has early removal. I think if you want to have high torture levels like that, the damage each turn should be 1. Also, gaining life at the expense of others is very black, and the 2 damage to each creature could be one-sided, but if you prepare for it or have creatures that benefit from dying, it works very well. I guess master enchanter would be better as a mythic.
coolgriff14 can clarify, but when I PM'd him about it, he said (in not so many words) that it couldn't just be a triggered ability and equip. As I understood it anyways. It would make sense. He didn't say it couldn't have a triggered ability, he said it must have an effect that isn't a triggered ability.
Ink is right. You can have a triggered ability, just as long as you have another that isn't a triggered ability. Icarael fulfilled the challenge.
Dira, Queen of the Golden City3WG
Legendary Creature – Human Advisor (M)
Lifelink
Artifacts you control have “sacrifice this actifact: add X mana in any combination of colours to your mana pool, where X is this artifact's converted mana cost.”
3/4
So you did stay within the color identity. Viking, could you please critique Anty223's card now?
Looks like not everyone posted, so if you didn't post an entry this round, try to get some points at least by posting critiques.
edit: Also, (and I'm in a hurry, so names later.) Those who didn't post a card are on warning/probation. If you don't post at least a top three, you're DQ'd, sorry. Those are the rules.
I think i've misunderstood, i've just followed the challenge notes on CMC and colour but now i'm thinking we have to make the card heavily based on the last entry since the card is being transmuted/ transmorgrified?
You are meant to be resembling a shapeshifter, so your equipment should resemble your round 1 card without being an exact copy and while following restrictions.
Whoa! That planeswalker is super super super overpowered.
Might I suggest this, version? It keeps similar to your original without being broken.
Slade, Master Torturer 3BR
Planeswalker-Slade (M)
+1 Put a Torture counter on up to two target creatures you control. If they don't have Torture, they gain torture.
-3 Slade, Master Torturer deals 2 damage to each creature. You gain 1 life for each creature that died this way.
-8 Put three 5/5 black demons with flying and Torture 3 onto the battlefield.
Starting loyalty: 4
Not sure how much better this is, but it isn't broken (or as broken), so that might help.
Also, almost all of your cards with torture are close to broken. I would suggest toning down the torture counter amount. 3-4 is what I would consider pretty powerful. Just because they have lower toughness doesn't mean they will die quickly.
Also another note: Your power level in this set is super high. Maybe tone it down a bit?
Jungle Thrasher 2G
Creature-Lizard (U) Remembrance
If you own an exiled land card, Jungle Thrasher has trample.
4/4
Clease the Grave WUU
Instant (R)
Counter target spell. You gain 3 life. Remembrance
Then, if you own an exiled creature card, put 2 1/1 white human creature tokens onto the battlefield.

Thanks. Lots of us are part of multiple contests this month, so don't worry about it.

In the future I will have better clarified rules.
