Whenever Leechmonger deals damage to a creature, put a number of +1/+1 counters on it equal to the damage dealt or something? I was afraid Wither would make that not work because it doesn't "deal" damage.
Not sure if I worded my card right. Basically, it siphons the Wither's -1/-1 counters into +1/+1 counters for itself (IE deal 2 Wither damage, get 2 +1+1s).

Honorable Mentions: bravelion83 (Doesn't it need the "at least" clause, otherwise the 2nd/3rd abilities check if you have exactly that # of lands? The wording could be cleared up anyway. Not sure if I like or dislike the escalating land costs), Indighost (The last effect is very fun. I don't see how it comes together into an especially cohesive card. Doesn't the +1/+1 cause you to take more damage?), netn10 (Very fun, but a total ruling nightmare I imagine, so many corner cases and issues.), Piar (Do you need to pay mana costs? Was close to voting this), Flatline (Also almost voted this. A lot of interesting cards this time around!)
Leechmonger1BBB
Creature - Horror (U)
Wither (This deals damage to creatures in the form of -1/-1 counters.)
When Leechmonger places -1/-1 counters on a creature, place that many +1/+1 counters on Leechmonger.
3/3 One bog leech is a nuisance. A collection, a menace.

Honorable Mentions: bravelion83 (I really wish that this didn't have Trample and the last effect and instead had something splashier, maybe something based on each of Plains/Swamp/Islands you control, given that it feels like a made-for-EDH/Commander Set Rare Legendary but without the little oomph at the end), StonerOfKruphix (I feel this is better with a non-Goblin flavor to it), Shukkets (Feels a bit weird potentially rules-wise and Flatline's felt just a bit cleaner)
Popalia, Life's Forgemaster2WUR
Legendary Creature - Human Engineer (R)
Popalia, Life's Forgemaster gains +1/+0 for each Life above your starting life total and +0/+1 for each Life below your starting Life Total. 2U, T: Return target creature with X or less power or toughness to its owner's hand, where X is Popalia, Life's Forgemaster's toughness. 2R, T: Deal X damage to target creature or player, where X is Popalia, Life's Forgemaster's power.

I can't be the only one who loves the pretransformation art right? Yes, the backside is an abomination, but the angel horrors possess an eldritch beauty. Gisela in particular.
I feel like Bruna is pretty meh, but I really like Gisela's art. Beautifully eldritch.
@ Flatline: I might go with that wording, but yeah, I definitely don't want it to be sac, since I feel it harms the flavor (and to an extent balance becomes iffy) of the card and makes it feel a bit TOO close to Tinker.
Votes: TriceDefied, StonerOfKruphix
Honorable Mention: Piar (I like Hunt, but I feel the land sac-regen is odd on the creature, and also that it is kind of weird at Rare. I would have liked something a bit different with to go with Trample + Hunt or even just make it a basic, Trample + Hunt creature only.)
Fiddle2U
Sorcery (R)
As an additional cost to cast Fiddle, shuffle an artifact you control to your library.
Search your library for an artifact card with converted mana cost 1 plus or 1 minus that artifact's converted mana cost and put it onto the battlefield. Then shuffle your library. A little elbow grease, a touch of magic and even the oldest machine can shine again.
@Ruki - In response to your HM, the reason Twilight of the Idols costs more than Wrath of God is that, originally the card exiled all legendary *permanents* and was modeled more after Apocalypse. Still, even though it's now just legendary creatures and planeswalkers, it exiles rather than destroys, so I kept it at 5 mana.
I figured the fact it is a lot more narrow than something like Wrath of God is why it could cost less.
Yelling Spike 2RB
Creature - Spike
Flash
When Yelling Spike enters the battlefield, choose one of the following effects:
- Yelling Spike deals 1 damage to target player for each card you have played this turn.
- Put a -1/-1 counter on target creature for each card your opponent has played this turn.
3/1
Cage of Light(2/W)(2/W)
Enchantment - Aura
Enchant creature with power 4 or more.
Enchanted creature can't attack or block and its activated abilities can't be activated.
@ Flatline: It is good to be around again! RL stuff has had me not have access to a lot of stuff lately and that gave me too much stress to really remember to DCC, but things are more chill now, so hopefully I can make a more every day mark!
@ Groovelord in thread: She probably should have the non-angel clause. If I did that, I'd also make a non-demon clause to the first one for symmetry. It fits flavorfully, too.
Votes: TriceDefied, Indighost
Honorable Mention: BrainPo (I'm not sure this needs to cost more than Wrath of God? It's not bad though, I just like the other two a bit more.)
Angel of Flight Darklight3WB
Creature - Angel Demon (U)
Flying, Deathtouch, Lifelink
3/3 They fell when Viscara, the first of them, made a deal with a demon. Now, they rise to deal with an angel.
Hey guys! New computer, can't access the old one, and I forgot how to do the mana symbols, so I just typed them out: Is that okay? I also don't think I worded the first part of the ability correct, would enjoy some help there.
I thought this was a fun card idea for the potential of Eldritch Moon: The fourth sister of Gisela/Bruna/Sigarda's is raised and fights alongside Sigarda against the Brusela combination, using her darker/anti-hero methods (hence the angel/demonness) now that the world is apoclyptic and Avacyn isn't there to kill her. The way she revives stuff works with her own resurrection. Perhaps Lily revived her in desperation? (She might hate angels, but I bet she hates dying more)
