A friend of mine moved back from California and our first order of business was to buy a case of Eternal Masters and a case of Conspiracy 2. We drafted all but one box of Eternal Masters and half the Conspiracy, then we decided to make a cube out of it all. So between that and the new Commander set, I've been in a custom card mood. Here's my newest addition:
Agathokakological
Enchantment Creature - Angel

~'s power is equal to your devotion to black.
~'s toughness is equal to your devotion to white.

My friends just turned me on to 5th edition. To be honest, I'm not really digging it because its so new. That being said, if they did a few of these for each different plane, it may push me closer to actually buying the books.
Veumuhr, Butcher of Hollowhenge4BG
Legendary Creature - Demon
Flying
If a you would draw a card, instead draw card and reveals it. If it's a permanent card, you gain life equal to its converted mana cost. Otherwise lose life equal to its converted mana cost.
6/6
Covenant of Rust6B

Covenant of Rust deals 4 damage to target creature or player and you gain 4 life.
SlagtuskR

When Slagtusk leaves the battlefield, put a 3/3 red elemental creature token onto the battlefield.
5/1
I think its a good change. Celestial Dawn wasn't exactly a huge problem, but I've had some bad games due to being locked out.
As for Prophet of Kruphix, the card was too perfect. It's in two colors that are good at defending it's creatures. In my experience, when it hit the field, it became the desirable clone target and led to a quick finish to any game.
Does this card prevent future damage from permanent cards, like Pestilence.
Agathokakological
Enchantment Creature - Angel
Flying
~'s power is equal to your devotion to black.
~'s toughness is equal to your devotion to white.

It seems like Shadows Over Innistrad is giving Dredge the love.
Most importantly: Sigarda has flavor text on a card.
Legendary Creature - Demon
