General Mayhem : You Remake the LegendElzaban the Ethereal keeps winning these. It's up to you to stop him! Scion's gonna help you, by throwing you guys the biggest bone in Legends. For those of you just tuning in: I'm doing this challenge/contest to redesign Legends legends. I have the full 55-name list and I'll be choosing one at random for each contest. I want to see what YOU, the YMTC community, can do with the stories and flavor of these legends. This contest will (presumably) run as one-of contests going through as many of the 55 as we can before folks get bored. So far so good, so here we go! Without further ado:
Careful boys and girls, Scion's got a spicy one for you this time. With one badass surname and one of the best card arts in all of Magic history, he has captured the imagination of new and old players alike for nigh on two decades now. This is a creature that players are happy to shim sideways into their esper decks just to lay him on the field and marvel at his awesome power.
Problem is, he's never been on-pie. It didn't stop people from loving to play him, but more than any other Legend, I believe this guy encapsulates what it is to be awesome without any support from the text box. So, let's see what YOU can do with one of the grandpappys of Legend-dom!
Please pay particular attention to Rule #7 below.  Good luck! Rules of the Road  :
- Contest is open from now until 48 hours later.
- I'll be grading these super-quick on a 1-10 scale.
- The redesigns should be made with fun gameplay at the forefront and with Commander in mind.
- The card has to have a new name (think Kamahl, Pit Fighter
 and Kamahl, Fist of Krosa  ).
- Stats and mana cost are up to you, but preference will be given to entries whose mana cost, creature types, and p/t stick as close as comfortable to the originals.
- I know there've been a number of similar contests in the past, so please try to submit something new. Honor system!
- No Planeswalkers, please! I know Nicol Bolas
 ascended  , but we're keeping Dakkon and the rest of the Elder Dragons rooted on the ground.

Oh sweet! It's never been established whether Dakkon was a Planeswalker in post-rev continuity so I'm going to be super tricky and make him a Pla-- No Planeswalkers, please! I know Nicol Bolas ascended , but we're keeping Dakkon and the rest of the Elder Dragons rooted on the ground.
DAMMIT SCION. D:
(I'll try to come up with something for this for real later)

Dakkon Fenblade Legendary Creature - Human Warrior Whenever Dakkon Fenblade attacks, search your library for up to five Swamp cards and put them onto the battlefield under defending player’s control, then shuffle your library. For each land put onto the battlefield this way, its controller sacrifices a nonland permanent. 5/5 working prototype Originally had it as any number of swamps, but decided instant death with polluted bonds or ankh of mishra was unhealthy. This version still interacts interestingly with lots of things without enabling the kinds of kills that make EDH players sad.

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!
