Conquering Hellkite

Published:

Description

EDIT 6: Updated card frame, added the effect of untapping the stolen land.

EDIT 5: Now he nabs lands directly from your opponents side of the battlefield but only for as long as he remains on the battlefield. Added an activated burn ability.

EDIT 4: Merged abilities into a single ability. Tell me if you like this better or not. Also, I'm struggling with the cost for that.

EDIT 3: Now he can tutor any player's library, but I raised the cost of the ability by one colorless. He's now mythic.

EDIT 2: Second ability modified. Now he pulls lands from your opponents' libraries. Gaining control of your opponent's lands already on the battlefield would be preferable, but that wouldn't trigger landfall unless I make it even more wordy.

EDIT 1: changed his name from Territorial Hellkite to Conquering Hellkite befitting his abilities. Also added a second green mana in the cost to balance him a bit better.

A very heartfelt thank you to :iconrav0004: 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.

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 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. :P

Actually relatively balanced... However, I'd change a few things.. Instead of gaining a land I'd say "Whenever Conquering Hellkite deals combat damage to a player that player may sacrifice a land instead of taking damage from Conquering Hellkite." and change the CMC to 1 less and boost his P/T by 1 each, then I'd change the 2GR abil. to deal damage equal to all lands in all graveyards to target player.. Granted the name may have to change a bit but that would REALLY balance this beasty.... Hmm..
