MTG: Heroes of the Planes

Think about the bright side. You can sideboard appropriately :).

MTG: Heroes of the Planes

Small templating things with the abilities. This should mirror correct wording from other similar cards in the game:

+2: Target creature gets +1/+1 and gains infect.
-X: Put X 1/1 black Zombie creature tokens with infect onto the battlefield.
-11: You get an emblem with "Creatures you control have infect and lifelink."

Whoever puts tokens default controls them, so "under your control" is redundant and not used; keywords are not capitalized mid-sentence, power/toughness boosts are gotten and not gained, keywords from passive continuous effects are had and not gained, and color must be specified for tokens.

Well, his deck is stock affinity, and the abilities he already has might already be too cheese with Cranial Plating, so I don't wanna push the envelope.

MTG: Heroes of the Planes

Alright, added abilities to my guy.

MTG: Heroes of the Planes

Ok but, with a starting life total of 20, how much would those cost?

Btw, Sarad might be too good, since the zombies he gets from his passive cause him to make new zombies when they themselves leave, so he basically gets something strictly better than a 1/1 indestructible whenever a dude dies. Maybe make the passive trigger only on nontoken creatures?

MTG: Heroes of the Planes

Can you please give an example of a Planeswalker ability for this setting so I don't go too far off or below what would be balanced? Also, how many abilities?

MTG: Heroes of the Planes

Kk, so Collected Company Melira/Anafenza combo and Splinter Twin are out. I'll go with this, then:

Hider

Name: Coren Shrewdcore
Age: 27
Race: Human
History: Coren was an artist and an artificer on the plane of Kaladesh. Talented and skilled, he was often commissioned by the Consuls to construct thopters and remote explosives for the military. One day, while working on thopter drones, he was assaulted in his workshop by an assassin hired by insurgent forces. While he was able to defeat the assassin, he was left bleeding on the floor, near dead. Just before he blacked out, his spark awakened, and sent him whirling through the Eternities. When he woke up, Coren found himself on the plane of Esper, being tended to by some etherium servants. Because of the extent of his wounds, a section of his chest had to be reinforced with etherium, but Coren found it easier to channel mana this way, and was thankful to his saviours. At present, Coren travels across Alara, fulfilling esperite interests with his magic and artifice, and in his spare time, explores planes outside of Alara.
Personality: Coren is a calm, collected and meticulous individual. Studious and greatly interested in artifice, he will stop and learn about new contraptions on whatever plane he's on at the moment, prioritizing it over his main mission. Due to his sense of duty, he will repay those who have greatly help him in the past. Other than that, he doesn't really care much for others, and is capable of doing great harm to those that are in his way, whether innocent or otherwise. He doesn't have any particular sense of humour or quirks of character.
Appearance: Coren is a 5'11", slender, beardless bloke with pale skin, black eyes and short, straight, black hair. He usually wears a blue monocle on his left eye and a blue longcoat, with a black shirt, black trousers, and black boots. When bare-chested, you can notice silvery mechanical parts that have replaced his right ribcage and lung. He also wears a belt with various instruments, and sometimes, black tinkering gloves.
Abilities:

[-3]: Put two 1/1 colorless Thopter creature tokens with flying onto the battlefield.
[0]: Lands you control are artifacts until end of turn. (They're still lands)

I dont see myself denying a CS solely based on library. You would have to have a very cheaty/overpowered deck such as an infinite combo deck.

@Ryuzaki

So, just to make everything clear, this means that even modern legal infinite combo decks are not allowed?

How did you die?

Just one small thing though, if died at age 31 in 2001 then he would have been born in 1970 and the vietnam war ended in 1975 so he would have been too young to have served. maybe change his death year?

@Dynamo Frokane

I have no idea why I thought for a second it ended in 1985. I'm dumb, sry. Changed.

How did you die?

Sounds good. Here's a sheet.

Hider

Name: Charles "Puffer" November
Age: 31
Year of Death: 1986
Method of Death: Plain old complications from lung cancer.
Crimes: Three murders of innocents as a hired assassin.
Appearance:
Weapon: I'm best with the sniper rifle, but that's probably not the most practical weapon in close quarters, so I'd be fine with a knife.
Backstory: I was a sniper in Vietnam, and when the war ended, I didn't exactly have the accolades and experience to get any fancy jobs, and became a bartender. One thing led to another and I started smoking heavily, to socialize and blend in with the crowd there. And, as it so happened, this unfortunate life decision led to me developing lung cancer. The moment I saw the diagnosis, I decided that I really, really like the idea of not dying, and went searching for a treatment. As it happens, there was a procedure that could've saved my life, but I was never going to afford it with my bartender wage. So what's a former sniper to do... well, become an interlope, a hitman, a paid assassin, of course! I didn't really feel good about what I was doing... my missions usually involved taking out CEO's and bankers, nobody actually evil, but every time, I kept reminding myself that it was worth it, that I was a survivor, and this happened to be my only chance at survival. Unfortunately, in a...probably deserved... twist of fate, my third contractor somehow managed to find a loophole that allowed him to not pay me. I could... almost pay for the procedure; but almost is not good enough. And so, I was left for dead in a shitty, badly-equipped public hospital.
Height and Weight: 1,85 m, 82 kg

Please tell me if he's not deranged/evil enough for the setting.
