I like this, but it seems horribly broken. It’s a win card for one black mana. Ripe for a BW reanimator or dredge deck. Just seems too powerful.

Excellent. The only thing I can question is the power/toughness. Otherwise its great.

It doesn’t need the counter thing. Again, though, power and toughness of a shaman is questionable.

Its missing a card type. I pictured more of a sacrificial token maker or something in regards to the flavor text.

Seems broken. To me it reads, turn two, your opponent discards their hand and is infinitely screwed while you are not because you have built a deck around this very card to win by turn four.

Azrael

Enchantment - Aura
Enchant Creature
Enchanted creature gains flying and gets +X/+X, where X is the number of white creature cards in all graveyards.

It doesn’t seem like a truly white ability here. I was hoping for something better.

Love the flavor, but too easily abuse-able, especially for B. I could maybe see this at BBB.

Nailed the flavor. I’d give you an 11 if I had a knob that went up that far. Very few Druids have 3 toughness though.

The wording of the last ability seems a bit off, but very nice flavor work.

Its missing a card type and the replacement ability seems like it could get confusing, especially with -X/-X effects. Quite frankly, both the second and third ability seem unnecessary. Feels very much like an Enchant Dead Creature.

Nice flavor, broken card. Dark Ritual still exists, and so does Putrid Imp. I would venture to say that I’d rather my opponent play Mind Twist against me than this- at least Mind Twist you have to pay X. This emptys both player’s hands turn 2, and from there it’s just a matter of dredging and/or reanimating and/or Rack-ing to victory. Too powerfull.

White typically doesn’t count numbers of cards in graveyards, but I can see it working through the flavor… it should be a place that white can go. Unfortunately, it just feels boring… like a watered-down, half-price version of Armored Ascension.

Congrats TeePee! You, GG and Cog are the judges for the next round. Wrap us in TeePee flavor!

[CoglineErro]

Eked it out from Azreal apparently. I thought mine was more flavorful than an 8, but I'm biased. I also saw the Shepherd of Rot element as a balance in mine. I just don't see it as broken as it will kill the dredger in most dredge decks.

[hamsandwich]

it'll kill the dredger, but if you have enough cards dredged then you're winning the game. i like it, don't get me wrong, it just seemed like too much win. :p
