Questioning though, since the ability says another "nontoken creature" it would get errata that it must also be a nontoken copy of Voldaren Bloodcaster for the ability to trigger.
Whenever Voldaren Bloodcaster OR another nontoken creature you control dies, create a Blood token.
Means it triggers if any of the following happens:
1) Voldaren Bloodcaster itself dies (regarless if it is a token or not)
2) Voldaren Bloodcaster sees another nontoken creature dying
The card works as intended and need not to be errated
Your standard enchantress is an green and/or white card that draws a card when an enchantment enters the battlefield. Over in their shared enemy color black, their first attempt at an enchantress draws a card when those enchantress leave the battlefield for the graveyard instead.
Three card combo kinda invalidates concern. There are too many already to worry about that, and Wizards continues to release infinite 2 card combos in modern times. If it was just a two card combo, I think there's more cause for alarm.
Only one of those currently support combo also, since the condition was changed to "black creature card". Dracula, Lord of Blood will cease since it's nontoken.
It does triggers of itself dying, but yeah the change works.
The Saga has some templating problems. Specifically, a card with Adventure in exile isn't and instant/sorcery card - it is a creature card. That card will only ever be an instant/sorcery while it is on the stack. I'd have to do some digging to figure out the right way to phrase "copy and cast the Adventure part of a card with adventure you own in exile." Also - minorly - the "you own" in the first sentence isn't necessary, because cards you don't own can't be in your hand or graveyard (acorn cards not withstanding)
"Ward- Sacrifice a Human" will effectively be hexproof in most cases. As a rule, ward costs should be something every deck has a reasonable chance of being able to pay, with even Sauron, the Dark Lord able to be hit by a majority of decks.
After some reading I figured out a way to word that card properly.
Also I gave up on ward and make it hexproof from humans.
Anthology of Fantasies 1RR
Enchantment - Saga As this Saga enters and after your draw step, add a lore counter. Sacrifice after III I, II, III: Put target card with an Adventure you own from your hand or graveyard into exile. If you do, you may create a copy of target card you own in exile that has an Adventure. You may cast that copy's Adventure this turn without paying its mana cost.
Decursed Sovereign 3GG
Creature - Human Noble
Decursed Sovereign cost 2G less to cast if you cast it from exile.
When Decursed Sovereign enters the battlefield, if you casted it from your hand transform it.
Freed from Fur 1U
Instant - Adventure
Return target noncreature spell, creature with mana value 5 or greater or enchantment to its owner’s hand.
2/2

Hexproof from humans
Whenever you attack put a +1/+1 counter on each creature you control. This only triggers if you control no human creatures. 5/5
I wasn't asking for any reprints, simply saying that I would remove some underwhelming cards from the deck after purchasing it to improve it with some or most of those cards.
Hi guys, was hoping for some feedback again on this duo;
This is a little variation on my recent partner pairings, using a creature with choose a background instead
I wanted to make up for the fact that there was no Mythic Rare Green background, and as for Apollos, I wanted to explore design space for Boros outside of "attack in combat"
Apollos, Citadel Captain
Legendary Creature - Human Soldier 2WR
Rare
2/4
Creatures you control have defender, reach and outlast RWRW (not sure how to template it, this should be hybrid mana)
Whenever you put one or more counters on a permanent, you may have Apollos deal that much damage to any target.
Choose a Background.
Staunch Quatermaster
Legendary Enchantment - Background 2G
Mythic Rare
Landfall — Whenever a land enters the battlefield under your control, create a Food token or a Treasure token.
If one or more +1/+1 counters would be put on a creature you control, that many plus one +1/+1 counters are put on it instead.
For the hybrid mana do
[mana](R/W)(R/W)[/?mana]
just remove the ? and you are done
Apollos is a more busted version of All Will be One, for less mana in the command zone and with other stuff added, even background (Noble Heritage, Clan Crafter, Master Chef all go terrible well with this), I'm not sure of this.
About the Background, as Rosy said, the templating is that it provides the commander with the ability it has, it should not work on its own.
Approach of the Maelstrom XWUBRG
Sorcery
Reveal cards from the top of your library until you reveal a nonland card with mana value X and exile it. You may cast that card this turn without paying its mana cost. Then put all cards revealed this way on the bottom of your library in a random order.
Until the end of turn, spells you cast have Cascade.
Exile Approach of the Maelstrom.
Flavorwise, seeming to reference the Chain Veil when you really aren't is a bit confusing, so I'd tweak the name slightly.
Powerwise, my gut says thing may be undercosted by 1, but I cannot pin down why. It does create a tension between auras and creatures in deck building, so there may be a way to abuse Bestow with this.
Oh never got that reference in mind, that is silly, so yeah changing the name. (I wanna keep the chains references becuase this is based in well you guess Andromeda)
On the cost thing, I upped the cost to 4. and gave her a +1/+1 to stats to match it.

Return Thriumphant seems really good for a common
I like this new Black Enchantress archetype they started supporting lately.
Can you even activate loyalty abilities if you are not a Planeswalker?
It does triggers of itself dying, but yeah the change works.
Bloodtithe Harvester, Blood Petal Celebrant, Voldaren Bloodcaster, and as told Voldaren Epicure
After some reading I figured out a way to word that card properly.
Also I gave up on ward and make it hexproof from humans.

Ah
Except for the fact that you are asking among lots of expensive reprints a 200+ dollar card that is on the reserved list?
Nah seems okish

I just checked Daring Thief wording and you are right, correcting
