Since I made my big gigantanormic post, I've made a good amount of new cards that I think you guys might be interested in. Here they are!

 

Spoiler

The flavor text honestly says it all, really.

 

Ah, Hellions, perhaps one of the most hardcore creature types in existence. Here's hoping for more Hellions in the future!

 

WHY YES I DO RUN BLUE BLACK IS IT THAT NOTICEABLE? In any case, this card was developed around the art, and since there's no fitting equivalent to Anubis in Magic, I just kind of went with it. Oh well. Art's amazing.

 

Indeed it is. Something fun for the Simic to toy around with, I'd imagine.

 

Behold, the bane of monocolor decks. I know that lands don't have an innate color, but I made it destroy only nonland permanents in order to prevent any Painter's Servant shenanigans. Also, note that it doesn't destroy itself, since it activates when it's cast (so it's not a permanent yet).

This one was fun. Since Demons rarely branch out to other colors (and never to white), I decided to remedy that with the most unnerving white/black concept ever. It's ripping out creature's skeletons and animating them, for crying out loud! And, it also fits both colors: it cares about the community, because a bigger community means more skeletons for itself.

 

An interesting idea regarding copiers that I haven't seen before in Magic. Was a little difficult to nail the flavor, but I think it came out pretty well.

 

 

In addition, I've created two concept cards for a new mechanic that I'd brainstormed up: playing music! It's not very fleshed out yet, and doesn't feel quite interesting yet, but I think with enough time it might turn into something interesting!

First, there's the instrument. It's a special type of Artifact called a Music Artifact, with subtypes depending on the type of instrument (i.e. piano, violin, kazoo). As the reminder text states, only one Music Artifact can be equipped to a creature at a time, except when the card says otherwise. Instruments have different effects when they are "played", which will be further explained below.

 

 

And now, we have the person playing the instrument. All creatures that can play an instrument will have the creature subtype "Musician", which could be used for cards that buff all Musicians and such. All Musicians have a cost to be able to play a song, which in itself does nothing (think of it kind of sorta like a repeatable Monstrosity.) Most Musicians have some sort of effect that happens whenever they play a song, be it a buff or a drawback.

The Angel Demon is a bit off to me.  I think you need more than just showing wings to make it an angel demon.  I would readjust the power toughness down 1 and maybe add vigilance to it, which is a common ability on an angel.

Skeleton Collector does seem W/B, but not an Angel Demon

Alright, I'll take off the Angel subtype. nowifperhapsyoucouldcommentontheothercardsthat'dbegreat

really like accord nice black card that really fits blacks ethos of every man for himself, love the flavour text. Grasp of Anubis seems to be a strong enchantment but not to overpowered to be broken great with mill decks and would have been great with UB zombies back in Innistrad. Angel demon seems strong but a bit of maybe 6/4 not 6/6 but both white and black are about life and death white is about the good of the many black the good of the one and this card seems to put 2 and 2 together into a good package. Tragic reflections seems good but its effect seems a bit vague to understand does it mean: A) when it taps it is destroyed, an opponent may tap something to destroy it or c) you may tap it to destroy it when you want to. I'm a big simic fan and intelligence medium seems like a staple simic card which would fit into any simic deck well. It of two faces seems very good nice mono-coloured removal maybe limit the revival e.g exile all creatures of {insert colour here}, you may return up to three creatures exiled this way to the battlefield and potentially give it indestructible since it is somewhat akin to the very essence of what magic's version of the grim reaper should be. Carver hellion is a very vanilla red creture aggro focused with high power lower toughness maybe raise madness cost or lower toughness to 5 or even 4 it would still fit the cards favour though what a hellion is summoned from being discarded is all about.

I'm glad you like my cards. Regarding Tragic Reflection, it gives the token the ability to destroy itself via tapping.

Thanks for acknowledging great cards few tweaks and they would be flawless as far as possible, nothing is perfect but it can be petty damn close which is what you have achieved nice artwork and well done wherever you get your at you should be thankful that it is of such good quality your new mechanic also seems good as a concept and could develop into a flower that yields many fruit
