Clearly, charms are required to cost a single mana of one color.  Duh.

The Alara Charm Cycle says hi.

Edit: I have to say, there is not enough Evidence either direction to support or deny that Volvers have 2 kicker abilities that are opposite colors, while also being the enemy color of the card.

anyway, voting time.

"Oh, no," Chainer said dramatically. "Angels and justicars! The Order has come for me! Whatever shall I do?" He focused on the Mirari back in his chamber, concentrated, and every door in the huge arena slammed shut and melted into the wall around it. His eyes were long gone, and his voice boomed out louder than the announcer's. "Come one, come all. The Mirari awaits. Who is strong enough to take it from me?" - excerpt from Chainer's Torment, by Scott McGough

Since I used a criteria I always liked, I care about the cards you guys made quite a bit and feel like reviewing all of them.

What I care a lot is the cards being playable and reasonable kicked and unkicked.

Manatic Fluxling

Manatic Fluxling has Protection from

X is the number of +1/+1 counters on
Manatic Fluxling

"Adaptation is the sincerest form of flattery."

0/1



So if you don't kick it, you get a 0/1 with protection from mana cost 0 (so it can block Memnite forever?), which kind of really sucks. Kicked and with +1/+1 counters shenanigans it's alright, but I don't get the flavor much. It's a bant adapting golem...?

Kozilek's Breeder 

Creature--Eldrazi

Kicker

When ~ ETB, if it was kicked, put two 0/1 colorless Eldrazi Spawn creature tokens with "Sacrifice this creature: Add to your mana pool." onto the battlefield.

Whenever you put an Eldrazi Spawn creature token onto the battlefield, put two onto the battlefield instead.

Annihilator 2  9/10



So it's a big eldrazi with annihilator 2 that lets you ramp faster. These guys work best as finishers and I really don't know why are you going to need more ramp after you just spent 10 mana. Also being colorless was kind of the indentity of Eldrazi, so a green kicked looks kinda weird. Overall, not a fan.

A 4/4 Totem? Hmm that is weird. I assume it comes to life and fights? I quite like the kicker though, a Lightning Bolt machine that does other things (defend). I wish mono-red control was a deck, because this would be awesome in it.

If this was an instant it'd obsolete Murder pretty hard. That is VERY scary for a colorless spell. If you kick it it becomes a worse Maelstrom Pulse , which is why I don't like it much.

O'Zal was such a fickle ruler, that either he had to have the best tower in the Kingdom or have every tower in the Kingdom, be the best.



Unkicked, this is a 3 mana Vesuva , and almost a Manalith . That's fine. Kicked, it gets very interesting. You have sort of a Blood Moon that costs 5 mana but affects everything and YOU get to choose the colour. Brutal, it will be kind of like being Armageddon d for a lot of decks. You can also do many cool things with it, and I love the flavor a lot.

Only those gifted with the eye of Ugin-OUCH! Nevermind.



Cool Ghostfire throwback! I think you were too cautious with this card. Yes, giving every color a colorless whipflare would have been scary, but 4 is kind of too much. It hurts it more because the kicker effect is awesome, but 7 mana for an almost- Plague Wind IF you are playing mono red and your opponent doesnt have red creatures is really too much. Bonfire of the Damned can also be blamed for being ridiculous and because I like to complain about it.

I'm going to leave the volver and color debates to you guys, because I have no knowledge on the subject. In a vacuum, this is bad. Literally unplayable unkicked so it IS a 7 mana card. A 7 mana proliferating infect 4/4 is far from exciting.

This is interesting, albeit confusing. But... SO OVERPOWERED. Who cares about kicking when you get to kill any creature for . Absolutely unprintable, possibly even if it was



There are 2 cards I really like, Kunou's and vlords. Pretty close, but Spire of O'zal's flavor + flavor text won me over.

So my vote goes to vlord.

Yes, it is a living totem pole. I assume it's either stationary or very slow moving, hence defender. But if you power it with red mana then it shoots phosphor grenades or lasers or fire or some such. The original idea was that it was shooting fire, but phosphor sounded cool.

For me, it came down to Chain's and vlord's. The reasoning for vlord, well, Fenix pretty much already said it. Reasoning for Chain: also pretty much the same as Fenix, except mine has more of a praise tone and I recognize that the turn after it hits, you can make it a 6/6 (bigger than that if you've put a card that does something like Training Grounds in your deck).

But my vote has to go to vlord.

Interesting note though: If you're playing the Spire, you can float two mana, one of which is , and after playing the kicked Spire, cast a Hurkyl's Recall on your opponent. Oops, bye bye all their lands, they has to start over. Alternatively, you can bounce your own lands so you can play them again and get your colored mana back while your opponent is stuck using only colorless.

I'll vote for Chain, although she just barely got that vote.

I agree that Volver's don't need to have enemy-colored kickers, but if you're not going to hold to that convention, why not break with the two mana/one mana kicker form, too? It would have made this card a lot stronger if the card itself only cost 1 or maybe 2 colorless, but the kickers were higher. All the same, I like the concept, and flavorfully, it was my favorite for the criteria, so there we go.
