Scrapped mine, no more late night creativity for me, i was completely thinking of the wrong cards for some reason :(

[QUOTE=SSHouston]For one time only... Probably.... I am bringing back the old Dedwards create a card challenge!

Ok as of now WotC has created 3 of (hopefully) a cycle of 5 -lings
Morphling
Thornling
Torchling

My challenge to you is to create one or both of the white and black -lings.

Rules:
1) Have Fun
2) Try not to overpower the cards. Make them something you can see WotC creating

PS: the abilities seem to have a pattern of
1) other
2) attack based
3) evasion/defensively based
4) +1/-1
5) -1/+1
You don't have to use this but it's just food for thought


Good Luck!! :D[/QUOTE]

Nice challenge. I'm working on what I'd expect from a black and a white *-ling, but having trouble with names and white's abilities.

I also found another creature that's similar to the *-lings :
Windreaver

Here's what I got so far:

Name: Shadowling
Cost: :mana3::manab::manab:
Type: Creature - Shapeshifter
Rarity: Rare
P/T: 3/3
Text: :manab:: Shadowling gains deathtouch until end of turn.
:manab:: Shadowling gains intimidate until end of turn.
:manab:: Regenerate Shadowling.
:mana1:: Shadowling gets +1/-1 until end of turn.
:mana1:: Shadowling gets -1/+1 until end of turn.

Name: Honorling
Cost: :mana3::manaw::manaw:
Type: Creature - Shapeshifter
Rarity: Rare
P/T: 2/4
Text: :manaw:: Honorling gains vigilance until end of turn.
:manaw:: Chose a color. Honorling gains protection from that color until end of turn.
:manaw:: Honorling gains first strike until end of turn.
:mana1:: Honorling gets +1/-1 until end of turn.
:mana1:: Honorling gets -1/+1 until end of turn.

I'm not happy with these (especially Honerling) and may come back to change them at a later stage.

Sorry for replying so late exams and practice kept me away... anyway those were basically what I was thinking. My only thought was would it be OP if Honorling had lifelink instead of first strike? I feel like the first srike and protection contradict each other but I really don't know if vigilance, protection, and lifelink is too OP for WotC.

Shadowling is exactly what I was thinking. Except Fear instead of Intimidate (same thing different wording)

Either way love the cards... I really hope we get one of the next -lings soon. :D
