Create A Card 107

Design a legendary creature which does NOT belong to the following color identities:

W, R, G, WU, UB, BR, RG, RW, Esper (WUB), Bant (GWU), GWB, 5C

My grading criteria for this challenge is very simple.

1. First impression - what deck idea jumps out at me. It's fine if you scream your idea at me, which brings me to...
2. Versatility - is there anything else I can do, besides first impression.dec?
3. Power level - don't paint a target on me even before the game starts, thanks!
Bonus: Flavor!

Anything beyond this point is optional reading, but it may help you design something that will wow me Smile

Optional Reading Laughing

I'm a big Commander fan. I own eleven decks, and two more are currently in the works. My dream is to own a deck from each color identity - i.e. one colorless, five mono-colored, ten bi-colored, ten tri-colored, one 5C.

Right now here's what I have:

W: Kemba, Kha Regent (CatBlade)
Lots of equipment, lots of cats. I can either go voltron or make an army of cats

R: Heartless Hidetsugu (Half-Life)
Plan A is to activate Hidetsugu with something like Furnace of Rath on the battlefield. Plan B is to just burn everyone. If this deck had a D&D alignment, it would be chaotic neutral.

G: Ezuri, Renegade Leader (Elf tribal)
Very straightforward Elf deck. I can crash in for damage or combo out.

WU: Rasputin Dreamweaver (Flicker.dec)
This deck evolved from Astral Slide + Sundial of the Infinite. It's really a Flicker deck at heart.

UB: [WIP] Wydwen, the Biting Gale (Xerox.dec)
This deck leans toward the control side of the spectrum. I restrict myself to only copy effects, no stealing.

BR: Olivia Voldaren (Vampire tribal)
Again, very straightforward Vampire deck. Aggro or board control with Olivia

RG: Stonebrow, Krosan Hero (Trample.dec)
Lots of ramp spells, 99% tramplers

RW: Jor Kadeen, the Prevailer (Artifact Aggro)
Myr deck at heart, with some other creatures of steel

WUB: Lady Evangela (Cleric tribal)
Not so much of beatdown, it's more of a turtle deck, with an infinite life combo built in.

GWU: Jenara, Asura of War (Equinaut, courtesy of Abe Sargent)
Making the fullest use of EtB effects

GWB: Karador, Ghost Chieftain (Spiritcraft)
Birthing Pod/soulshift shenanigans

5C: Sliver Queen (Planeswalker.dec)
It's as it says, a deck stuffed full of walkers. Not everyone makes it in (I'm looking at you, Nissa), but those who do pull their weight to the fullest.

[WIP] Reaper King (100% Foiled Allies)
I have Allies, I have Xenograft/Conspiracy to make them Scarecrows...you get the idea.

My decks are pretty Timmy in nature. I like grand maneuvers, flashy stuffy, thunderous charges into the red zone. I detest infinite combos, yawn-fest decks. Edit: I should also add that I try not to do un-fun things to my friends - e.g. land destruction, mass discard

I don't really build decks around my generals, because I don't wanna get screwed by tuck effects.

I too have a mono-white Kemba deck (uses Surestrike Trident instead of Voltron). It's a blast to play since there are so many quality equipments. It does make me sad that you didn't choose Merieke Ri Berit for your Esper Commander Sad

Gnarltooth, Den Elder.......................................................................2BB
Legendary Creature - Rat Shaman......................................................R

Sacrifice a Rat creature: Add BB to your mana pool.

Threshold - Swamps you control are 2/1 black Rat creatures that are
still lands as long as seven or more cards are in your graveyard.
