Ryn'an's Beginnings- A New Set Made by US :)

Ok. I'll contribute just one more card. This is the benevolent blue elder crow

Whenever you play a instant or sorcery, put a +1/+1 counter on CARDNAME.

When CARDNAME deals combat damage to a player, you may look at the top X cards of your library. You may reveal an instant or sorcery from among that and add it to your hand. Put the rest at the bottom of your library. X equals the number of +1/+1 counters on CARDNAME.

Blue doesn't get +1/+1 counters, that is green. They get +0/+1, and red gets +1/+0.

[Birdbrain]

{cosi's trickster} {draining welk} {dralnu's pet} {enclave elite} {faerie squadron} {flood chaser} {sage fables}. I understand that +1/+1 counters might not be blues main thing. But from a top down perspective this is a knowledge is power kind of thing. The more knowlage it has, the more power it has. And I didn't want it to be unstable in power like {stergmist}...come to think of it. It should probably cost six? No, it starts out relatively small

[Dudecore]

True those cards all have +1/+1 counters, but they probably shouldn't. It's a good card, probably raise the cost a bit. Design the red crow so that they're equally matched.

[Birdbrain]

I said the idea wasn't each one was a crow. Just the blue. But if he wants to do all crow's he can. Its his set. I've thought about it, and crows (to me) only fit in azoirious colors. They are smart, and they work together, protecting each other. Have you ever seen how they deal with predatory birds? The whole flock works together to chase the predator away. So the only other color in my mind they make sense in is white

I'm going to put "powerful versions" of the "divines" and "profanes" in the next set, so remind me to use that Birdbrain. Right now, they are all good, but good meaning good for a 3 cost. if i can figure out how to post a pic, then ill spoil the one that a *kinda* used the crow idea in.

do you want me to make a 3 cost version of this with a lesser ability?

nah, i was trying to make the "weaker" versions as vanilla as i could. im actually almost done rares+mythics i need five more rares, so maybe ill maybe Knowledge a crow companion. ill definetely add something like that in Divines of Ryn'an (next set) sorry. i like building up to the big things.

[Birdbrain]

Ok. I wish more people would throw in there ideas

Oh. And one more thing. If you want, you can take the looting part out of the second ability of the artifact so it's cheaper. Because the first one requires you to discard a card from your hand which could make the ability balanced. I put a lot of thought into this card, so please play test it before you make a final desicion on its costing.

Also if you notice. The lands go to your hand, not the battlefield. Which is a 1 cost ability in an instant or sorcery. And with the added discard to get it...

I see your point. I'll test it out to see if its too overpowered, if not, then ill change it.

[izik99]

BIrdbrain! Spoiler alert! lol. It's probably not what you were thinking, but, like I said, I'll do that in the next set. So Knowledge, the "good" blue value, has a companion- Ka, the Crow. He doesn't have a card yet- maybe I'll make him an uncommon because I don't have a lot of rare space- but he will definitely have a bigger version in Divines of Ryn'an. (Maybe an effect that pumps him if you have Knowledge out?...) Here's the link.

Love the art. Not so much the flavor text. It's an ok ability that subtlety supports the legendary I posted.

Although its most definitely a rare if it's a three cost with that ability

Yeah, I just realized how much more powerful that is than the others. Blue always wins! I'll try to change up the others before I get all the art.

[izik99]

So... DeviantArt, where I got all the art for the cards, does not allow me to use the art. So I'm going to post the cards when I'm done, but without the art. Sorry guys.
