X

Legendary Creature — Human Spy

As long as X is in X's owner's opponent's hand, X's owner may cast X and activate X's abilities. That opponent can't cast X and plays with their hand revealed.

{U}{B}, {T}: Put X into target opponent's hand.

{3}{U}{B}: You may play a card in the same hand as X without paying its mana cost.

The Burrowing Blight

{3}{R}{G}

Legendary Creature - Insect

At the beginning of each end step, if you control fewer than five Insect creatures, create a number of 1/1 green Insect creature tokens equal to the difference.

Creatures you control with 1 power have first strike.

{X}{R}{G}, {T}: The Burrowing Blight deals X damage to each other creature. Activate this ability only as a sorcery.

0/4

Sorry Zask and Grist, this one's for Gruul.

So {B}{R}'s major mechanical themes seem to be artifacts, rogues, and anti-snow. Lorewise, while the Griffins are mostly concerned with removing the ice, and the Rangers aren't unified enough to offer a strong resistance, the Rogues are actively fighting with Bridgette's forces, which includes the Yetis. They're fighting both directly and indirectly through infiltration, and they're looking for ancient relics of the first Ice Age and the inter-ice periods that might help them. Some of these relics might still be owned by someone, and the owner might be convinced to help... Let's see how much of that I can tie together.

I like the Hideout tokens, but I don't think they should be a regular thing. One or two cards with them, showing the infiltrations, would be enough.

Steel and Fire

{X}{B}{R}

Sorcery

Choose one:

• Steel and Fire deals X damage to any target.

• Steel and Fire deals X+2 damage to target snow permanent.

Return up to one target artifact card with mana value less than or equal the amount of excess damage dealt this way from your graveyard to the battlefield.

We need more artifacts. Create an artifact for Matzoth. It can be something that the Rogues find, or something else. Only requirement is that it's an artifact.

Last_Laugh on Dopplegangbangers - Historic Flash Convoke Copies

DemonDragonJ I probably wouldn't run Wargate personally. I have Kamahl's Druidic Vow in the maybeboard because I can convoke into {X} and my Doctor will copy the spell but it does hit less of my permanents.

I've gotten in about 10 games so far and have only been mana screwed once, granted my meta does do friendly mulligans as long as you're laying down your hand and proving you aren't just trying for a god hand. The whole tapping my creatures to convoke thing also smooths out my curve and ramps me remarkably well. I may end up adding more 2 cmc ramp to more reliably cast Peri on turn 3 though because then I can typically curve into The Sixth Doctor thanks to convoke.

Six Shooter

{1}

Artifact - Equipment

Six Shooter enters the battlefield with six charge counters on it.

Equip {1}

{X}, remove X charge counters from Six Shooter: If Six Shooter is equipped, it deals X damage to target creature or player.

I know the set’s not meant to have guns, but it does have gun-equivalent stuff.

Create a land for the Thunder Junction set which would be reminiscent of a wild-west location/building

I’d recommend adjusting your land count. The Deserts aren’t really contributing much, and I feel as though those 4 extra spots would be better reserved for basic Islands.

Your mana curve isn’t technically super high when you factor in the ‘this spell costs {X} less if…” traits of some of the cards, but even so you still run a few double {U}{U} pips and really want to be able to cast them on curve. Even with Islandcycling. Especially if you intend on dumping some for Foil.

Spextricc, the Rainbow Dragon {X}

~ has flying and is blue if {U} was paid to cast it, the same is true for red and haste if {R}, white and lifelink if {W}, black and deathtouch if {B} and green and trample if {G}.

~ gets +1/+1 for each color it is.

For this formatting, you add the double brackets after each symbol.

[[rg]]

{RG}

[[r]][[g]]

{R}{G}

Also, the icon that looks like a teardrop above the comment box is a list of symbols.

"...token with "{X}: Copy this token X times, where X is the amount of life you have lost this turn." I think this is the wording you're looking for.

Adding hybrid mana doesn't work within the rules (it's used in costs only to show that either of two coats can be paid), and you get the same effect with "Add {U}, {R}, or {G}." Actually, even that's not needed if this land has the appropriate basic land types, since the mana ability is included in the basic land type.

Damage on a land tends to be very restrictively costed, so I'm concerned about repeatable 3 damage for 3 mana, even if everyone gets hit. Compare Stensia Bloodhall or Immersturm Skullcairn. Also, what defines or is defined by the {X} cost?
