Merfolk Songstress       (This is meant to be a creature for Mono-Blue decks, and this is largely up for discussion ) 0/4 Abilities (Each ability is technically meant to be a song performed by the Songstress that has a psychological effect, hence the song names which would not be essential but are just a personal indulgence. Note that these could perhaps also be worked to affect both players each time, I can't decide. I also know there are a lot of them, I would like it to feel like these are songs she would sing and make it feel like a sort of song list. And don't know how to make it feel like that with only 2 songs... Yes I like Flavor.) These abilities are also free to be removed and replaced, I just want the number to be 3 at the end result. I want to design what could become an official card. If anyone has any ideas then please share them on what can be changed and made better about this card.  Amnesiac's Lament Target player moves the top 2 cards from their library to the graveyard    Peaceful Memories Untap and remove target creature from combat      (Tap) The Regrets of Today Counter target spell Flavor text "You'll forget everything else, but always remember her song."

If you have to explain the flavor of your card it's a bad card. Also, use [ mc] [ /mc] tags to turn "UU" into "   ".

You fell victim to one of the classic blunders - The most famous of which is "never get involved in an thread with GM_Champion" - but only slightly less well-known is this: "Never go in against AzureShade when card design is on the line!

Perhaps make it a planeswalker instead.

Ah... You know? A merfolk Planeswalker WOULD be really cool. And yeah... I've been looking at the numbers and trying to figure out what would work well for her abilities and was considering a simple tweak, namely making the first two abilities affect both players. That was the original concept but then I was worried players wouldn't see much use in using her. So, what items would you put in instead? Also, maybe the ability to remove a creature from combat could be tweaked. Currently it's three mana, so maybe it could be changed to affecting only attacking creatures?

There already is one - Kiora Atua. Unfortunately, she doesn't have a card yet.

Also she's part green, isn't she?
Her deck in DotP is. Whether her eventual card will be, who knows?
