I'm knew to this and i made this card if you think i should make him black then i will make the change. If you think i need other ones put some thing you think i might need and i will put them into consideration.

Green usually doesn't get lifelink. The only time it does is if the card also costs white mana or has a white or black activation cost for the ability. So that seems a bit out of place here. As for the black effect, I'm not sure this actually works. I was experimenting with something like this recently, and I like where you're going with this, but I don't think it's quite that easy. I would recommend "Put X -1/-1 counters on target creature, where X is half that creature's toughness, rounded down." If you did that though, and even if you don't, this definitely isn't an ability you would see on a common, or even an uncommon. It would have to be rare or mythic because it's a very powerful ability. It should probably cost at least two black mana plus a colorless or two, which makes me wonder if this card should just be black, as you suggest. If you did shift it to black, you could keep lifelink, also.

I first thought of doing that and i was trying to figure it out but if you give me a day i can make it black with the other ability. I wasn't to sure on the half so should i or no. Another thing i was thinking about an elf blood sorcery but i can't find a pic for it if you could help me i will make that card too

Looks quite good. I agree that the reminder text can go, however. Could this maybe even be a 5/3 I wonder? Not that it necessarily needs it, but food for thought.

 

As for your elf blood card, I'd have to know what it was and what you were trying to do with it before I could find suitable art. Mainly I just search for fantasy artwork on Google and scroll through hundreds of pages to find art to use in my sets. So I guess I'd suggest that.

You could always make it a gold card with green and black attributes if you want. And just a general note, you can put [ ] around your flavor text to make it look more authentic. (Thanks to Krieg of Keld for that tip.)

Stop playing Yu-Gi-Oh.

Well I say attributes as a way of describing multiple things, not just mana cost but also card mechanics and spell costs.

I'm really unsure why playing YGO is such a bad thing. True, you shouldn't use that game's terminology to describe Magic cards, but the game, and the people who play it, are just fine. It's a good game. Not nearly as cool as Magic in this humble person's opinion, but still.

[Kalam Mekhar]

Wholeheartedly agree with you there. But it seemed rude to keep saying "stop playing YGO" to people who enjoy the game. They don't need to stop playing it, just stop using that game's terminology like I said. Meant no offense, either way.

And yugioh is a great game
