This not being symmetrical could be a problem, but I guess it's basically a bad Safe Passage unless you are having 1 or 2 damage dealt to things you control. Including teammates and so on is an interesting touch. I can't really tell what you mean X to be here, I guess 1?

Sure, it's pretty good but probably comparable to Benalish Knight, maybe a 2 for 1 if they are attacking with two 2 toughness guys. Everything is good except that it needs to say "When Ambush Sniper enters the battlefield, it deals 2 damage..."

As the chorus of angels flew nearby, Brogg no longer felt like pummeling the guards.

Sure, Hollowhenge Spirit says this is still squarely in white's color pie. I imagine it could be pulled off for a single mana, since it seems a lot worse than even Soul Parry.

When Capture Collar is unattached from a creature, it's owner gains control of it, and it deals damage to you equal to its toughness.
Equip

You can't equip equipment to creatures other players control, so this does nothing but give your guy -1/-1 unless you use Magnetic Theft. The "gain control" clause needs a trigger. As you know, flash makes little sense here, and I guess that flash is the reason for the green mana, but the equip cost is strange.

1/10

Unfortunately, no plan of attack was posted here, so that will equal a 0/3 for teamwork this round. In any case, the cards presented do not provide any way to deal exactly three damage to a Gargoyle. Therefore:

The heat is too much. In a breakdown of communication, you fall one after another, sauteed to a crisp on the hot granite floor. If only you could have tasted that legendary recipe...

Send in the next team! I will update this post with final scores for Team Tropesalot tomorrow.

Eh, honestly, 24 hours to come up with cards that work well together when people are in different timezones is more difficult than you may think.

I honestly think people need more time...

Frankly I agree, but I'm not making the rules.

FLOOR ONE: __

LEVEL I
PAR 5
Do You Have a Reservation?

You proceed down the stone steps, with only your torches against the darkness. The sulfurous smells of the volcanic landscape outside fade with surprising speed, replaced by a barrage of varied smells; dark stains on the wall with a fishy smell, tufts of lemongrass charred with hellfire, even cloudy chunks of brown ore protruding from the walls that reek of cinnamon. Finally, the torches flutter as a light breeze stirs the stagnant, fragrant air, and the stairs twist about into a spiral descent to a stone floor. Coming out into the chamber, you find four identical doors, open arches with stone carvings of a crossed fork and knife above each one. They lead out in the four cardinal directions from this room, but it is too dark to tell what might lie beyond each one. One of your members takes a few steps forward, but you sense a magic in the doorways, and caution him to hold still. The devious Asmoranomardicadaistinaculdacar is not likely to have left his tomb without protective traps.

Find the correct door and proceed without any of your members dying.
(Each door is considered a different player with one card in hand. Three of the doors hold Pitfall Traps that will be cast on anyone approaching them. Remember, you are each 0/1 creatures. The doors take no other action, but you each only have one card to cast this round.)

My entry will be here this afternoon or evening.

Good luck, Much Larger Dave. My charred corpse awaits you

Team Much Larger Dave, I'm hoping to go to a Release event tonight and might be able to grade you after that (11PM Pacific), if not it will be Saturday morning.

[KoolKoal]

First idea: not being used:

Energy Elemental
Creature - Elemental (R)
Whenever Energy Elemental becomes the target of a spell, that spell's controller puts a token onto the battlefield that is a copy of Energy Elemental. That token gains haste. Exile it at the beginning of the next end step.
3/1

Basically, you all would target this with spells/auras and then we attack all the doors at once making sure all of the elementals can be targeted by the pitfall traps. This would show us which door is safe so we can all go through it on the next turn.

I think we can do better, but I'm working today so I need to post something at least. If you guys think of something else, I should be getting home from work about 20 minutes before GM's first time he mentioned grading us (11 pm pacific). So make it obvious what I should change my card to .

Domesticated Saberclaw
Creature - Cat (U)
Discard a card: Prevent all damage that would be dealt by Domesticated Saberclaw this turn. Any player may activate this ability.
A sharp word beats sharp claws.
3/2

I play my creature, Prophy activates its ability discarding his card and casting it for its madness cost, viewing/discarding a door's hand. Bale plays his creature, peeking at another door's hand. Emocakes places his aura on Bale's creature and Bale sacrifices his creature to peak at a third doors hand. We now know what card each of the doors holds so we attack the correct door.

[Emocakes]

I'd definitely prefer tomorrow morning, GM. That'd allow time for us to coordinate a little more.

Plus it's Friday night and I'm fairly sure we're all a little busy.

<--------(Going to see The Avengers.)

[Balefire]

Telescopic Infiltrator
Creature - Weird {C}
When Telescopic Infltrator enters the battlefield or dies, look at target player's hand.
It has no eyes,
But isn't blind,
For with its probes,
It scours your mind.
1/3

[Emocakes]

Specter's Venom

Enchantment - Aura {C}

Enchant creature

Enchanted creature has swampwalk and "Sacrifice this creature: Each player dealt damage by enchanted creature this turn discards a card."

[Prophylaxis]

Hmm... I was to design a Telepathy variant?

I can only design instants or sorceries, guys.

[Balefire]

@Prophy: Based on our long winded plan, we need you to design a card that peeks at an oppoent with a madness cost of 0 (among other things).

[Prophylaxis]

Surgeon's Slice
Sorcery (U)
Choose a number. Target player reveals his or her hand and you choose a nonland card with the same converted mana cost as that number. That player discards that card.
Madness
