Ahhhh, I didn't know leech was a creature type, I just went with what I imagined something like that would have been.

Okay, here is the clincher. I've been waiting to say this.
The "cam girl" this was inspired by was just a girl from a social networking website, Stickam. Her name was TinyTerror and she was just a regular girl who was on her webcam, totally unrelated to any type of adult content.
I hope you all feel really smart now. 
This is like someone coming into class with a bloody nose and everyone's like "Jeez what happened to you" and they're like "I ran into a wall" and everyone laughs at them for being an idiot but then at the end of the class they say "HAHA JUST KIDDING I PUNCHED MYSELF IN THE FACE!!!!!! TALK ABOUT OWNED HAHAHAHAHA"
I really enjoy imagining this from Kevin's perspective. Because in Kevin's world, Rosewater actually reads everything he types. Mark is sitting there right now, reading this, and thinking "The greatest trick the devil ever pulled. . ." Or some such. He chuckles low, then clicks on "The Best Of KEVINSET" and says "Yes, this'll do just fine. A busty lady with banding who deals direct damage to Zones!? Why this will be the star of my next set, and no one will ever believe you Kevin." Then he closes his Macbook, so his servant may move it out of the way, while another servant puts a Fetal Richard Garfield Clone lathered in Steak Sauce in front of him. Then Mark Feasts.
Sorin walked into the chamber where his newly wed bride, Vampy, awaited. A beam of moonlight illuminated his brilliant silver hair as he strode with confidence towards the bed. His shirtless body showcased his powerful abdominal muscles and he was wearing jeans with holes in the knees.
I wish more girls play magic cards...
Have you considered assassinating Kevin?

I initially had the Miracle cost for my card at  , but if someone topdecked that really early in the game it just wouldn't be fun. I'd just feel sad that I couldn't play it, or mad that I lost because my opponent managed to get 1 creature into the graveyard on turn 2 and then killed me. At least at  , there would be some time to set up at bit in preparation. But just for the record, I really wanted to leave it a ...stupid sense of fairplay ruining potentially overpowered cards.

These cards are Ball Tightening.
Perfect originality is overrated and often ugly. The best and most beautiful cards I've ever seen were clearly inspired by something else.
Cards are not entirely unlike living organisms in this regard. All the good ones are a result of long evolution; the 'original' ones are either monocellular or mutant aberrations.
Graveborn are strictly better than Zombies. I mean, look at that wicked beard  . You try growing that when your dead. And I know aging fellows who are suffering from Male Pattern Baldness, who would kill for a Mop like Ribsy's over there.
Hey Dudibus, I can't take you seriously until you take your shirt off!

I won? Cool! I'm glad you like the flavor/art. I was thinking of a massive beast coming out of small human (despite the human's small size). Like you could see the demon was way bigger than the actual human and couldn't have been in there naturally. Either way I'm gald you liked it

I don't know what to say for this. I like that it gives undying to both creatures, but more often than not you're only going to lose one of them at a time, which leaves the other without undying until another the first creature reenters the battlefield. I don't really have any qualms with a wingless Demon. First Impression - 1.6/2 Wording - 2/2 Flavor - 1.4/2 Power Level/Balance - 1.7/2 Meets Criteria - 1/1 Contains proper card elements - 1/1 Total - 8.7/10
Its still a respectable 5/5 for 5 after all. When soulbonded, it protects both creatures from wrath effects and is always a 2-for-1 (even if they kill the demon when it loses Undying, the other creature's Undying trigger is already on the stack, and it comes back, so at worse, its an Undying Evil  that consumes two removal spells instead of one.)

My card is definitely supposed to fetch from outside the game. I'm wondering where I lost out on flavor, though.
Reposting in case Ed didn't see it.

I saw it, I just don't know what words to use and in what sequence to put them in order to make my thoughts understood on why the flavor was off.  I will say that it was related to the harshness of the Miracle cost.

Lillianna sold her soul for power. Are you suggesting that players should get off more lightly?

Liliana got a whole...uh...not sure how to spell the word I wanted to use there...suare? (sounds French; "swah-ray") She got a lot of spells to work with (in addition to everlasting youth), your card only gives one. And makes you very vulnerable to attacks/ fire  . "Give me great power! OH NO A STONE! *bonk, dead*" (doesn't help that the cost is already paid, so they can respond to the fetch, and then also to any spells you cast from the fetch). I suppose I also allowed the uncertainty of whether or not the Wish effect was intentional to bring down the flavor rating a little...

You mean a soirée? An evening party or gathering?
EDIT: Oh, maybe you mean suite. As in, she got a whole suite of new powers.

But yeah, early game Miracle with not a lot of chances for creatures to wind up in graveyards wouldn't be much of a fun topdeck at all.
