Gruul DMV
Land                    Rare

Creatures enter the battlefield tapped.
Creatures do not untap at the beginning of their controller's upkeep.
When there are 8 creatures on the battlefield, destroy Gruul DMV.
When Gruul DMV is destroyed, all creatures are untapped, gain haste, and +3/+3

"Even a place as lively as Gruul, has to deal with the DMV.  They try to be patient, but eventually, everyone destroys the damn place and turns it into a fighting ring."

I like the fact that your opponent can activate it too. And the flavour text is on point.

[FlickerYourOwnIdentity]

Unagi, the Unscathed      {W}{W}{3}
Legendary Creature - Samuri

Bushido 3
Whenever Unagi, the Unscathed attacks,  choose up to two creatures that will block Unagi if able.

"Thousands divulge onto a single point, and yet their target still stands with a sword in hand, and blood upon his brow."
2/2

Invasive Vines   {2}{G}{G}{G}
Creature- plant

Persist
This_Card enters the battlefield with two +1/+1 counters on it.
At the start of your upkeep, double the number of +1/+1 counters on This_Card.

Whenever This_Card would be dealt damage prevent that damage then remove a +1/+1 counter for each point of damage prevented.

0/1

"We've tried axes, fire, poison, and more. It ALWAYS grows back."

[LinkCelestrial]

Invasive Vines   {2}{G}{G}{G}
Creature- plant

indestructable
This_Card enters the battlefield with two +1/+1 counters on it.
At the start of your upkeep, double the number of +1/+1 counters on This_Card, if This_Card has no +1/+1 counters on it, place one on it.

Whenever This_Card would be dealt damage prevent that damage then remove a +1/+1 counter for each point of damage prevented.

0/1

"We've tried axes, fire, poison, and more. It grows faster then we can kill it."

Seems weird to have Indestructible too.

I added that because i wanted a "unkillable" effect to tie into how hard it is to kill an invasive species. Actually now that i think about it persist would be an much better effect. Changing the card to use that. What do you think of the mana cost? Should it be more?

Now that I think about it Indestructible makes a lot of sense. The mana cost seems reasonable.

I like persist for flavor. With its etb effect it would mean he gets 1 counter to start with and never really dies, but you can weed it back.

I do too, and if you look at the quoted one verse the current version i had a cluncky bit of mechanic, to place a counter back on after being weeded down to a 0/1. Persist cleans it right up, organically. Also a persistant vine sounds better the indestructable. I also like that now it's two biggest weakness are now kill spells and counters, effects that primarily come from it's enemy colors.

[LinkCelestrial]

I would totally play that card.

Backlash     {1}{U}{R}

Instant

Counter target spell. Backlash deals X - 2 damage to that spells controller where X is the countered spell's converted mana cost.

"Catastrophic failure is my speciality."


I've been thinking about this for a while. I think it's badass. Inspired in part by {Essence Backlash}

[redwolv]

I would totally play that card.

The vine? If so thank you!
