As unlikely (and probably mostly unwanted) as it is, I really, really want Copper-Leaf Angel to get a reprint with new art here. Something similar to the original, but still new and fresh.
Also, in reference to the old "FTV: Vaults" gag, I would actually like the password-protected life counter they listed. =P
Forgelight Eidolon 1W
Enchantment Creature - Spirit [C]
Bestow 2W
Protection from red.
Enchanted creature gets +1/+1 and has protection from red.
1/1
If not, then I'll take the loss. =P

Cassus: Fixed the 'Rifle' ability, that was how I had intended for it to work, but couldn't think of how to word it when I first did it, for some reason. Thanks! As for making him a 3/3, I'm not sure if I actually want him that way, or as a 3 mana 2/2. I'll have to play around with both of them to check it out.
Naka: Good call on the creature type. Changed to Shapeshifter Horror (As I still want the 'boogeyman' idealism), but I'm not sure how to make her ability work quite the way I want it to and make her easier to interact with. Maybe make it sorcery speed? I also think I'm gonna give her a buff to give it a bit of a green feel.
Nerio: Yea, I really don't like him as a whole, truth be told. He feels kinda...bleh, but I can't think of a good way to represent the idea of a former Mercenary gone rogue. Any suggestions on a way to make him feel more WBR?
Tamichy: I''ll try that idea. I haven't done much play-testing with these yet, as I have only the 10 legendary creatures and one random common dork made, but I do know I want to keep her fairly close to this idea.
Elenya: I actually didn't intend for her to be as cheap as she was. When I read your comment I went back and realized I hadn't fixed her cost. I've also decided to make her a 2/2 at 2WBG
Goldglimmer Cloak UU
Enchantment - Aura

First, a bit of information that might be helpful that won't be readily apparent;
These cards are from a set I am working on as a way to do a little world building for a book I'm going to be writing. The book itself has nothing to do with the Magic universe, but I felt like this would be a great way to exercise my brain a bit on the world it will be set in. Now, as for the set itself, I have decided on a multicolor-light theme, involving both the wedges an the shard colors (Arcs, I think?). As far as structuring everything, I have decided that each color-triplet will get a Legendary creature to represent it in the first set of the block. I have made 7 of these so far and am going to be posting the wedge cards here first.
Each card will have a very small blurb of why I did what I did, and anything that I need particular help with.
So, without further babbling, here are my cards.
Cassus Klein 1RWU
Legendary Creature - Human Soldier [MR]
First Strike, Flanking
Whenever a creature attacks you, if Cassus Klein is untapped, you may have it deal 2 damage to target attacking creature.
2/2
------
Alright, as you can tell, I have decided to use firearms in this setting, and I've tried to incorporate that into his mechanics without just giving him reach and first strike. The ability needs some rewording though, as I believe with the current wording each creature that attacks you would trigger it, correct?
Naka, the Child-Thief GUB
Legendary Creature - Horror Wizard [MR]
You may have Naka, The Child-Thief enter the battlefield as a copy of target creature an opponent controls and under that player’s control except that it has
“t, Return this creature to its owner’s hand: Destroy target creature that shares a type with this creature. Only this creature’s owner may activate this ability.”
0/0
---------
This one was hard for me to do. It doesn't feel green to me, but I wanted this to be the idea behind the card. Maybe making the copied creature a little beefier? Also, is she waaay to cheap?
Nerio of the Cinderblood RWB
Legendary Creature - Human Rogue [MR]
Deathtouch
Whenever Nerio of the Cinderblood attacks and is not blocked, you may have Nerio deal its combat damage to target untapped creature defending player controls.
2/2
--------
I'm...not sure I like this card as a whole, to be honest. It seems a bit uninspired. Any ideas on making a mercenary/hitman/bounty hunter guy a bit better represented in magic?
Tamichy, First of Many 2URG
Legendary Creature - Elemental Human [MR]
Tamichy, First of Many has hexproof as long as it is not your turn.
Tamichy, First of Many has hexproof as long as it is not your turn.
Whenever you draw a card, choose one; - Put a +1/+1 counter on Tamichy; or, Tamichy deals 1 damage to target creature; or, tap or untap another target permanent.
3/3
------
I like her, a lot. But maybe she's a bit too utility? Also,I realize the render has the choices templated wrong. I'll be fixing it there next.
Elenya Swarmkeeper BGW
Lagendary Creature - Elf Druid [MR]
Insects you control have lifelink.
Whenever a nontoken creature dies, put X 1/1 Green and Black Insect tokens onto the battlefield, where X is that creature’s toughness. "I feed the swarm, ad thus; the swarm sustains me."
2/4
------
She feels...unfinished, maybe? I liked the concept but I'm not sure how well I like the card, I guess...
There are the cards in question. If you have any questions about decisions I made or ways I could do things better (or even better ideas as a whole) I'm pretty receptive, heh.
Also, I wasn't sure if this should go in the custom sets subforum, as it's more or less just critique on specific cards? If it should be elsewhere, I apologize ahead of time!
Seems fun to play with and I won't mind playing against it either. Lifegain is a bit underrated I feel, since it doesn't DO a whole lot on it's own, but I might just be a little crazy in the head for silly interactions. =P
Hmm, probably gonna make this my new Lifegain build, since my current B/W seems to have taken issue with something I've done to it.
If not, I feel like I just want to swap out my Teysa, Envoy of Ghosts with him and add some islands and stuff to throw people off.
