Character DescriptionsRowan

Rowan is skilled and noble, but passionate and quick to fury. He's about 6 feet tall, thin and muscular, with light skin and light brown hair. He has a tattoo of a phoenix on his back. He wears a blue leather jacket and matching pants with a Clint Eastwood hairstyle and manner. A pair of amber flight goggles are perched on his forehead most of the time. He's self righteous and has a vengeful streak. Rowan grew up in a small and isolated community of survivors. At the age of 16 he watched his family and friends ruthlessly slaughtered by machines. Rowan vowed that the Tower would cast its ominous shadow over them no more, and set of

Ziminiar, the Igniterby ~RowanKeltizar

Fan Art / Digital Art / Other

EDIT 3: Modified rules text to be a bit more concise. It works more or less the same except you can't target the same creature more than once. Also, it doubles the number of counters each upkeep so they die quicker. The creature is exiled when it dies, and I modified both the mana cost and ugraded him to mythic rarity.

EDIT 2: Now creatures with combustion counters on them deal damage to themselves. Therefore creatures with death touch will instant kill themselves and creatures with infect will take -1/-1 counters.

EDIT 1: Switched to extended art frame.

Yeah, he lights shit on fire. X)

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.

I highly recommend checking out their other work.

The artist has granted me permission to use this artwork.

Thanks to Wizards of the Coast for creating the game, Magic the Gathering. Magic The Gathering is owned by Wizards of the Coast. [link] 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.

I'm now trying to figure out if you're a Johnny or a Spike...either way, that's just cruel and I love it.

Wonderful card, loved the combustion effect, I think it's too strong for just 5 CMC, I'd suggest raising the CMC, maybe to BBBRRR and raising it's P/T so it's not a 3/3 for 6. Also, the fact that is has scythe shapped horns, tell me that the creature is more of a violent, rampaging creature, than a careful one, so I think a 6/1, maybe with first strike, would go nice with it, it doesn't die easy in combat, but it's quite vulnerable to targeting -1/-1 spells and burn. I think it's fair, a 6/1 with first strike with an amazing effect that can win you the game in a couple of turns, if the opponent doesn't remove it right away.

And also, thanks for posting the link to Magic Set Editor, I've always wanted to create some cards with my artwork xD Want to do my own Cube.

thanks very much for the input! I'll mull it over. BBBRRR is quite color heavy, and I tend to stay away from it if possible. I'd be more inclined to increase colorless by 1. I like the P/T suggestion though.

I WANT THIS

~Pyrefox Jan 19, 2013

I liked the idea of the effect and the picture, but I also wanted to point out that if the creature with combustion counters on it deals damage to itself, it will take no damage if it has protection to its own color. Maybe you should point out that this is a colorless effect, but it would be unfair to creatures with protection to red. I really don't know how to fix this...

Creating a creature token to represent the damage source would be weird to the game... Having the counters become "red counters" and using them as damage source is also very weird.

If no source is specified, is it a valid text? Like this: "At the beginning of your upkeep, double the number of combustion counters on this creature, then it takes 1 damage for each combustion counter on it."

~RowanKeltizar Jan 28, 2013 Hobbyist General Artist

Thanks for the input. I think that creatures with protection from their own color will just have to be safe from Ziminiar. Consider it a slight balancing effect and rock paper scissors kind of thing. Those kind of creatures are fairly rare anyway.
