    These cards are based on existing cards. They might seem based on more than one card, but there is one specific card I'm looking for. I am not responsible for reused names or exact clones of existing cards. 1 point for guessing the correct answer for each card. (The points don't matter.) Sexiness of cards created, as with all Eliminator thread posts, not guaranteed.

    Bind in Death - 1BB
    Enchantment (U)
    When Bind in Death enters the battlefield, return target creature card in a graveyard to the battlefield. That card is paired with Bind in Death.
    When Bind in Death leaves the battlefield, the controller of the creature paired with Bind in Death sacrifices it.

    Serpent Vapors - 3U
    Enchantment -- Aura (C)
    Enchant creature
    Enchanted creature has islandwalk, is 5/5, and can't attack unless six or more Islands are on the battlefield.

    Verdant Wish - 1G
    Sorcery (R)
    You may choose a green card you own from outside the game or exile, reveal that card, and put it into your hand. Exile Verdant Wish.

    Centaur Breeder - 1G
    Creature -- Elf Shaman (R)
    At the beginning of your upkeep, if you don't control any Centaurs, put a 3/3 Centaur Soldier creature token onto the battlefield.
    0/1

    Worldshape - 3W
    Sorcery (R)
    Choose a card type. Each player sacrifices a permanent of that type.

    Anthemsinger was obviously based on Glorious Anthem. I didn't consciously mix it with Serra Angel, it just kind of turned out that way.

    Llanowar Blacksmith's basis is not a Spellshaper, that's why it's not one.

    I intended Forked Axe to allow a 5-0 split, but I guess it works that way.

    1 point for guessing what each card was based on. (The points don't matter.) I also bear no responsibility for reused names or cards that are way too similar to existing cards.

    AEther Snap is only two blocks after Odyssey...they're both isolated instances of anti-token cards, and it's not clear if AEther Snap was meant to take anti-token away from white or merely add it to another color. Since white gets "Exile all creatures" and "Destroy all non-token creatures", it would also follow that it could get "Exile all token creatures".

    Evacuation and Day of Judgment aren't the same because they affect non-token creatures, too.

    I don't know if Renewing Spirit would or should see play over Quirion Ranger, but I wanted to present it as an alternative.

    White has gotten anti-token cards before. (Dogged Hunter) The card makes sense in blue because functionally it's the same thing as "Return all token creatures to their owners' hands." It makes sense in the Azorius guild because the authoritarian Azorius would definitely prohibit unchecked masses of creatures as they would be a threat to their governance.

    Izzet would not intentionally destroy the tokens, they would experiment on them (which may destroy them, but not intentionally).

    Realistically, there would not be an Un-set that revolved around money. It would be hard to make it consistent around the world, since Magic is a global game. There's also the risk of running afoul of anti-gambling laws, and...most people take money seriously. A set that isn't meant to be serious most likely isn't going to be using money as a core aspect of its design.

    Yeah, I initially thought about making red Redouble cards slightly weaker due to the Pyretic Ritual issue. Orochi Leafcaller isn't a big deal either, there are probably way more efficient and sturdy combos in Modern.

    I still think there is some potential here, but it needs to be reworked before it can be used.
