#MTGMoxtober Day 30: Apotheosis

 

Card of the Day - Tersh, the Walled City

I like legendary land walls.

Card of the Day - Terrus Fen, the Anointed

Welcome to Abzan week. This week I will be featuring cards from my favorite wedge. Today's card is a two mana legendary creature.

The nice thing about creatures with off-color activation costs is that you can cast them and use them as a regular creature even if you don't have the mana to use the off-color ability.  Sure, the card gets better if you have it, but it's not necessary.

Card of the Day - Gix, Yawgmoth Praetor

If you're not familiar with Gix, he was one of the original Phyrexian baddies. You can learn a bit more about him here.

Card of the Day - Tull, Desert City

If you don't know by now, I'm very excited for the Dark Tower movie to show up at my local theater in July.  Tull is the first inhabited place visited by the Gunslinger in the first book of the Dark Tower series.

Card of the Day - Marek's Keystone

This is the relic that King Micah is sending with Otto to the Gargut Glacier.  I hope nothing bad happens...

Card of the Day - Tersh, Crown City

Making duals legendary is a reasonable drawback.  This one has the added bonus of being snow, making it a pseudo-triland.

Card of the Day - Ronald Snakeman

If a character has a proper name, it's Legendary.  Ronald's last name is Snakeman, therefore, he is a legend.

Card of the Day - Vadel, Servant of Ulamog

The last of our ragtag group was Vadel, a warlock who worshiped a god that none of our characters had ever heard of.

Card of the Day - Selphi, Bahamut's Heir

Selphi hasn't died yet, but he keeps saying that he's actually a dragon, and we're all pretty sure he'll become an awesome dragon if he does die.

Card of the Day - Auriel Brightmantle/Hazirawn, the Thirsty Blade

 This is my character in our DnD campaign. He died this week fighting a green dragon. Here's his badass sword too.

Card of the Day - Nairb's Necklace

Hollee said, "Make a jewelry!"

Card of the Day - Ka-Mohari, WIsh Lord

This guy started in my head as a mono-blue 5/6 for 5UU that drew you two cards each turn. Strong, but kind of boring. I added the rider "Instant spells you cast cost 2 less" so you have some way of casting all the new cards you get. I changed him to Black/Blue and added the life loss to balance out the cost reduction, as well as letting commander players play a Juzam Djinn if they felt so inclined.

After looking through Gatherer and seeing some recent Djinni from Khans of Tarkir, namely the Jeskai clan, I decided to change the word "Instant" to "Noncreature". The cost reduction being for "noncreatures" is very Jeskai. Those monks sure do love their prowess.

I didn't set out to make a 4 color commander, but I think he turned out pretty well, nonetheless. Let me know what you think either here or in the /r/custommagic subreddit.

Card of the Day - Barlo Stanvik, the King's Voice

Card of the Day - Stoag the Poet

I chose to use the pronoun "him" when this card refers to itself because the character depicted is male.  I have always been annoyed when a Legendary creature card refers to itself as "it."

A few examples: Arcanis the Omnipotent, Ashling the Pilgrim, and Autumn Willow, and that's just the As.

I've noticed that the flip planeswalkers follow this trend as well, and I wonder if that's just because they are important characters, or if it's something they will be using on legendary creatures going forward.

Card of the Day - Kylo Ren of the First Order

Star War man! He get so mad when stuff happen so he break things.

Card of the Day - Rhuja, the Silent Death

If you know me, you know I'm a big proponent of Tiny Leaders.  This guy makes math difficult for your opponent when you have enough mana to cast him.  He's also an awesome cat, if you're into that sort of thing.  He was made for the /r/custommagic challenge of making a good Cat commander.

Card of the Day - Tyrion, Master of Coin

I've decided that Tyrion is Black/White, Cersei is Black/Blue, Joffrey is Black/Red, Jaime is Red/White, and Tywin is BW (just like his least favorite son.)

This card was designed with commander in mind.

Card of the Day - Piggy, Wearer of Rainboots

Every once in a while, I regret asking my wife to help me make a card.  This time it had to be a baby pig wearing rainboots.  I've done my best.

Card of the Day - Avenger, Who Sees Ahead

Caw!
