Rift Warden

Creature - Elemental

When Rift Warden enters the battlefield, you may exile another target creature.

When Rift Warden leaves the battlefield, return the exiled card to the battlefield under it's owner's control, and exile Rift Warden with two time counters on it and it gains suspend.

2/4

Not sure if I have to split up the second ability into both the leave the battlefield effect and the suspend ability.

I think making one a dies trigger and the other a leaves the battlefield trigger smooths the card out a bit and helps clarify its functionality. Also, making the suspend effect a dies trigger keeps the card fair in my opinion. Not sure if you wanted fair though, so take it or leave it . . . up to you.

I wanted it to "not be fair".

It's a 4 mana 2/4 that basically functions as a non-stop Journey to Nowhere is what I wanted.

W

Oh yeah.

Instant

Exile target creature.

Cast Oh yeah. only if you've casted a creature spell this turn.

Custodian of the Idol 2WW

When Custodian of the Idol enters the battlefield, Choose one — Destroy target artifact or enchantment; or Search your library for an artifact or enchantment card and reveal that card, shuffle your library, then put the card on top of it.

Yeah, I'd play this in a heartbeat. Good design too, I like Enlightened Tutor strapped to a Kor Sanctifiers.

It should probably be a 3/2 to separate itself from the Sanctifiers a little more. In fact, I'm gonna do that.

Make instant speed for those blue decks.

Call of the Cemeterey 1B

Put a 2/2 black Zombie creature token onto the battlefield.
Flashback 2B

Would we play this card?

Flashback 2B

Would we play this card?

I wouldn't. 5 mana for two 2/2s is not really what I want to be doing. If you give them some relevant ability or make them 2/1s with a drawback for B, Flashback 1B I'd play it depending on drawback.

I'd play this, for example:

Cemetery Call B
Sorcery
Put a 2/1 black Zombie creature token onto the battlefield. It has "this creature cannot block."
Flashback 1B

Yeah, it's a strictly better Jungle Lion, but I think we can go there without too many problems.

A black Call of the Herd. Yeah, I'd probably play it.

EDIT: I'd play your's too Blimpy.

I'd probably play the black Call of the Zombies. And I'd definitely play the more aggro version.

I always forget to add like Instant or Flash and stuff.

And yes, it's supposed to be a Instant.

The ETB ability is very strongly rooted in blue. See Azorius Guildmage, Stifle and Trickbind.

Erupting Elemental 2(R/G)

2/1
Flash
When ~ enters the battlefield, if G was spent to cast it, target creature gets +2/+2 until end of turn.
When ~ enters the battlefield, if R was spent to cast it, target creature you control deals damage equal to it's power to another target creature.
Evoke (R/G)

there's a tiny bit of space in green for this. see bind (trickbind intentionally references it) and voidslime (the additional abilities imply that green has something to do with that effect). plus there's a couple of older green cards that counter activated abilities if the source is an artifact.

it's one of those things that might or might not be explored in green in the future.

This is basically a Fire Imp on steroids, and Fire Imp is already a 360 staple.

The only way this thing is mediocre is if it gets cascaded off of Bloodbraid Elf.

I mean honestly the green option isn't even needed, it would be nuts without it. With the green option (and the ability to get both) it makes it way better than Bloodbraid Elf, and that's hard to do.

If it cost 4(R/G) it might even be too strong.

This is without even touching Evoke. Evoke just pushes this card into the stratosphere.

Yeah, this card is just way too broken.

What about at 4(G/R)(G/R) and a 3/3?

Next card that just came to me:

Deciever's Matriarch 4UU
Creature - Shapeshifter
*/*
~ enters the battlefield as a copy of any creature on the battlefield.
When ~ enters the battlefield, gain control of all creatures with the same name as it as long as it's on the battlefield.

Yeah, the R/G creature is much more fair at 6, or maybe 5.

And that Clone/Sower would be absolutely awesome.

"Clone Simic Sky Swallower and take yours? gg?"

3(R/G)(R/G) is a fine price for the super Fire Imp. Evoke cost should probably be like 3(R/G). As a 3/3 he might have to be six mana, but I think that's pushing it. He's good enough at 5 and probably isn't ridiculously broken.

I think the clone thief is actually overcosted.

2UUU or 3UU would be better. Clone doesn't see any play as is (although it might at 2U), and some of the time you'll want to clone your own guy, despite them having an awesome guy on board.

It's as susceptible to removal as the thing you're copying, so while you might get an awesome target (Simic Sky Swallower, Keiga, etc) it is only as good as what is already on board.

It does very, very little against aggro. I wouldn't play it at six mana, although I would at five.

Well Predatory Nightstalker is a 3/2, but seeing as that card was made a million years ago and never in an actual set, maybe a 4/3 would work?

Well, it also have persisted, which make it a ton stronger.

I'll try it at 3/3, and probably marked it as staple at 4/4.

I think 4/3 sounds reasonable considering how much they are pushing creatures right now.
