Anyway, has there really never been a zombie angel?

...Huh. Apparently there hasn't. I'd have thought Crypt Angel would be one...

I guess it is.

Wayward Angel is an Angel Horror, but that's the closest we've got.

Also, another legend for a neglected colour pairing:

Kerukk of the Million Faces (3UG)
Legendary Creature – Shapeshifter
1UG, tap: Choose a nonlegendary creature on the battlefield. Target creature becomes a copy of that creature until end of turn.
2UUGG, tap: Choose a nonlegendary creature on the battlefield. All creatures become a copy of that creature until end of turn.
3/3
No matter how prepared one is for a visit to Kerukk’s kingdom, it’s extremely difficult to ever be able to face barmen who look just like one’s father and prisoners who resemble one’s dead wife with equanimity.

Bleh. I wanted to make the Dancing Zombie from Plants Versus Zombies, but I'm not sure how.

Dancing Zombie (5BBB)
Creature - Zombie
2/2
Whenever @ attacks, put four 2/2 black Zombie creature tokens onto the battlefield tapped and attacking.

How's this?

It seems way too similar to Grave Titan. And it lacks any reasonable way to avoid getting killed on its first attack.

Simic Manland
Land
Simic Manland enters the battlefield tapped.
T: Add G or U to your mana pool.
1GU: Until end of turn, Simic Manland becomes a 3/3 green and blue Elemental creature with “Whenever this creature deals combat damage to a player, draw a card.” It’s still a land.

Very possibly Almost certainly too good.

Still, I'd like to see it at 6/6 or 7/7, since even with the nice ability, you want something that's not going to get killed when it attacks, given that you are spending 8 mana on it.

Maybe a 3/3 with this ability for 4BB? It would be comparable to Hero of Bladehold and/or Grave Titan.

Waitisec waitisec waitisec...

Imagine: Plants vs Zombies special set. All plants have defender. All zombies have "when this creature is sent to the graveyard, you lose 2 life."

It might work.

Here's one:

World Asunder {4}{G}{G}{G}

Sorcery

Each player exiles all permanents he or she controls, then returns all permanent cards in that player's graveyard to the battlefield, then puts all permanent cards exiled this way into his or her graveyard.

Living Death on steroids, if you will.

That seems like kind of a strange card in Green. The graveyard recursion is fine, I guess, but it's functionally a Wrath-A-Geddon for most people.

DarkConfidant Since: Aug, 2011
#1238: Aug 9th 2011 at 6:15:29 PM

I really don't know what color it should be in. I didn't want it in black, and it's not blue at all. White is probably the best color for it, but I made a poorly-decided last-minute change to it.

Assuming it were white and not green, what would you say?

Why don't you want it black? This card is practically screaming black(-green).

It seems more green-white to me, though it could probably be justified in several combinations.

I just felt like this was something that was too stereotypical in black and I wanted to put it in a different color.

White makes sense since they get board wipes and some recursion (Open the Vaults, Resurrection, Sun Titan, etc.)

Aldheim Since: Sep, 2010
#1242: Aug 9th 2011 at 6:43:28 PM

On the basis of, as you mentioned, Living Death, it seems fairly black to me.

On the other hand, I'm not sure how I feel about the card in general. Isn't this functionally Obliterate, only cheaper, able to take out enchantments and planeswalkers, and with huge potential card advantage if you build your deck for it? (If you have any way of getting a lot of stuff into your graveyard, you're going to Obliterate your opponent and pop a ton of stuff into play.)

(EDIT: Of course, I guess you can counter this.)

It's one mana cheaper, though I could definitely see it at 4WWWW or 5WWW, which would be the same CMC as Obliterate. But at the same time, how much more advantage does this get than a similarly-costed spell like... Karn Liberated, Sorin's Vengeance, or Artisan of Kozilek. High mana cost cards need correspondingly large effects to be playable.

Aldheim Since: Sep, 2010
#1244: Aug 9th 2011 at 6:58:16 PM

Karn Liberated is actually a good example of why it makes me wary. Karn Liberated's ultimate does an effect fairly similar to this card, but he also takes a minimum of two extra turns after casting to do it (and if he goes off that quickly, the player's really not getting too much card advantage out of the deal.) So for a similar mana cost, he's vulnerable to two turns of attacking/O-ring/stuff, and his ultimate's effect is probably not as good.

I'll print the US version for good measure:

Enchantment
{B}{B}{B}: The player with the most money wins the game.

So, yeah.

Revision to American Politics:

U.S. Politics
BBB
Enchantment
U.S. Politics may be played for a cost of WWBB instead of its casting cost.
Twenty minutes after U.S. Politics enters the battlefield, players take a vote to decide who wins the game. Before this happens, all players are allowed to interact in any ways they choose; the normal rules of Magic do not apply.

Kind of the opposite of shroud, is what I was going for. You can fry him with Shock, but not burn him with Pyroclasm.
