Greek themed cards

[Birdbrain]

Theros is greko-roman. Also, "born of the Gods" is top down design from that mythology. So I thought it would be fun to make up cards for the various myths and characters in those myths. Then give our reasons for our designs. Here's an example

{R}{U}{1}

Icarus

Creature-human

{U}{R}: CARDNAME gains +1/+1 and flying till the end of the turn. If you use this ability three or more times in a turn, sacrifice CARDNAME at the end of the turn

1/1

Icrusus father was an inventor. So he probably knew a lot of things. Yet, in a flood of emotion, he made an irrational desicion that was his downfall

[Crisys]

I would think Icarus would be red/white where as his father, Daedalus, would be the red/blue mad scientist.

But I like the sacrifice thing

out of curiosity why white?

[Birdbrain]

Also, I started this thread so everybody could get creative with top down design

[Crisys]

Just how I would see the art work.  White wings of wax and a red sun burning him down, maybe a battalion trigger that makes Icarus gain +4/+4 and flying until the end of turn and then sac?

[Birdbrain]

Battalion won't be in theros. It's only in gate crash and dragons maze. It won't come back

And besides, I'm not sure Icarus seems white to me

These cards won't be in Theros either. Where's the harm in putting an existing mechanic on a made up card?

just didn't think it would fit, but thanks for reminding me of something very important creatively

[Crisys]

I'm new to magic, only a few months playing, so color identity is new to me.  The colors red and white just seem like sun colors and all I think about with Icarus is the sun lol

Cerberus (Hades Hellhound)

2RB

Players can't cast creature spells from their graveyards.

Double-Strike (bc it's said to have more than one head)

[TheRagingMage]

It should have triple strike.

[Mattao19]
