    Also, what if we make it a bit broader again, to overlap with the equipment faction? Offering — If an artifact or creature was put into your graveyard this turn, ~ enters the battlefield with a +1/+1 counter on it.

    General Vakeztan - A Riptide Lap-Set

    The only way I see redemption working is if we find a way to keep the spell acceptable when it's turned off and when it's turned on. We need to keep the rewards small but tangible. High-Priest feels reasonably appropriate, the other three feel underwhelming when a creature didn't die, and in the...

    Yeah, I recently switched from Woolly Thoctar to Fiery Justice. I have high hopes! :)

    Wait. You finally got me on board with oblation, and now you want me to instead go for a more narrow and swingier morbid? I think the difference between on and off is way too big. I mean, you're right that it feels like it needs to be, but I don't think it creates fun games. "Oh nice, four...

    Sorry, but I had to post this... Art link Itnask, Apostle of Blood Art link Blood Pet Art link Axe Zealot I love the idea of a bunch of orcs shaping a semblance of a lawful society by following The Doctrine of Blood, having a strong clergy that codified a mishmash of traditional orcish...

    I think I'ld rather try out oblation. Though I do have my reservations, it does seem more interesting, and I think all of your cards with the mechanic are promising and look balanced. Can we reuse thrulls? They worked well for the "syndicated religion"-theme in Orzhov, and they're well known...

    I don't think it's necessarily the wrong side, more a different side :) Anyway, having sacrifice outlets in white feels stranger if they're just there, unkeyworded, than it would if it was thematically tied together by a keyword, though you can have some self-sacrificing cards in white. I do...

    Marath, Will of the Wild has a surprising amount of play to it. It surprises me every time I play it. If you support a ramp deck that can get to nine mana, Zacama, Primal Calamity is the bee's knees. Awesome to play as well. Other than that there's really only Fiery Justice as efficient removal...

    No, I don't like it that much, mainly because it's hard to trigger and/or control when you get the discount, also because it's a cost reduction mechanic, which is always hard to balance, and also also because it's a mechanic that discourages people from blocking in limited, and thus encourages...

    I'm not sure what to tell you, I have seen it cast plenty of times with my mana base (including the trilands you get for picking a three-color card like Cruel Ultimatum).

    Run a lot of fixers, push multicolor, support control, BAM TAKE 5 TO THE FACE, DISCARD 3 AND SAC A CREATURE! I'll do the inverse of that, 'mkay?

    As for the individual cards, I have some suggestions for changes. Blessing of Shadows should use the new template ("~ deals 2 damage to you" instead of "you lose 2 life). Reviving Light is a silly name for a card that doesn't revive and actually gets stronger when you sacrifice a creature...

    Cool! I was playing around with the same theme in my head yesterday, thinking the sacrifice would be a stretch in white, but flavorful for a certain type of religious society. The white cards will be the ones with ceremonial sacrifices, red is just the everyday practice of sacrifice as it seeps...

    The Chinri are a race of hyper-intelligent, man-size <enter predatory insect type that we can find a lot of anthropomorphic art for, and doesn't always have wings, because flying in green is problematic> that seek to enslave other intelligent races, both for food and for sport. Their society...

    Yep, I did! Looks like a good fit mechanically in those colors as well :) Also, nice UR overlap with the equipment faction, as building multiple creatures is good with equipment!

    No, I'm running Nicol Bolas, Planeswalker. God-Pharaoh is a bit too pushed for my tastes, I don't like that it's a mana cheaper either. The Deceiver is cool enough, but OG Bolas (edit: OG planeswalker, I mean) wins out because it has better utility and is available in nonfoil. The Ravager I like...
