Description Revision 2: Added first ability. NOW this is something interesting I think. I could use some help with wording if anyone knows what would be correct. Also tweaked mana cost and P/T and changed name.

Revision 1: completely reworked abilities and mana cost to reflect the phyrexian-esque art. Hopefully this is a bit more interesting. Probably far from finished with this though.

===============================================================================
A very heartfelt thank you to for making the awesome custom set symbol.
===============================================================================
Because my custom cards are meant to showcase and promote the awesome artwork, none of the artwork belongs to me. I've listed the artist's name next to the paintbrush at the bottom of the card to give the artist due credit.

Original artwork created and owned by:



Original art can be seen here:



I highly recommend checking out their other work.

The artist has granted me permission to use this artwork for this card.

This is a custom card created with Magic Set Editor, which can be downloaded for free here: magicseteditor.sourceforge.net…

Thanks to Wizards of the Coast for creating the game, Magic the Gathering. Magic The Gathering is owned by Wizards of the Coast. www.wizards.com/Magic/Summoner… Please do not print or attempt to sell this card.
===============================================================================
My approach to card making is art oriented more than anything else because that's what first drew me to the game. When designing a card, my objective is to balance flavor and utility in such a way that it fits into the game seamlessly and would be fun to actually play with.
===============================================================================
I’m a perfectionist at heart, so I gladly welcome any suggestions you have. All of these cards are WIPs (works in progress). But please try to keep your feedback constructive and don’t argue with me TOO much because I’ll stick to my guns on some points. Also keep in mind this is not a cohesive set. It’s a series of cards doing homage to the artists I admire. Therefore many of them are rares and mythics, and not 50 cent ones either.

I like it. Seems like a threat you must remove fast

Feels broken to me . . .

Option:
- Remove the vigilance and leave it just with flying
- Whenever ~ attacks, attacking creatures you control get -1/-1 and gain infect and lifelink until end of turn.

I would consider changing all of them gaining infect to one of them gaining lifelink.  I just feel like that would make it more playable (although I'm liking your Phyrexian cards )

It's second "ability" is just reminder text, isn't it? All you would need to do is put (H/W can be paid with either W or 2 life.) like this card

Other than that. I like it!

The ability affects ALL spells you cast, not just Imperious Drake

Wow, this is a really cool concept. As well as finding such a fitting artwork for a white Phyrexian dragon

Also, thumbs up for dragons.

If you ever want a flavor text for it you should make a quote from Elesh (because of the crest) ([link] , and you could word the last ability like Victory's Herald ([link] . The explanation for the Phyrexian mana is written on the card differently, look at this one. ([link] , sorry for all the criticisms, i really do love the idea of the card and love the non-brute force drakes. This is one of the only cards i have even cared enough about to comment on.

RowanKeltizar In reply to Dragoncards [2013-10-22 08:19:16 +0000 UTC]

There's not really enough room for flavor text on this one. I did updated the wording of the last ability though.

Barricade [2013-05-11 14:00:03 +0000 UTC]

That should be a mythic legendary. Especially as you could cast it on your second turn if you're playing black and have a Dark Ritual.

Honestly, with this art, I would expect something attached to the Machine Orthodoxy of Phyrexia. I'd feel like mechanically it would be good to tie that in with the looks being what they are.

Bit much, probalby get the First strike vigilence or the whole life gain thing, compliments to the original artist

Zennistrad [2013-02-19 05:08:06 +0000 UTC]

This should probably be Mythic. A 5/5 Flying, First Strike, and Vigilance for 6 is REALLY powerful.

I love the art and the idea for the card, but maybe you could change the control clause to an exile clause, a much more white ability instead of a blue one. So whenever a permanent becomes tapped, you may pay 3 and exile it as long as Ivory drake is on the battlefield. May have to tweak the price of the ability, but without a lil playtesting I am not sure about that Very cool!
