The draw a card shouldn't be white.
Maybe.....

Serve/Protect
Instant
1W/1U
Target opponent can't be the target of spells or abilities until end of turn. Prevent 1 damage to target creature or player.
//
Counter target spell that targets you or a creature you control

I agree that drawing cards isn't really white, but I don't want to add the damage prevention to the other effect; they have very little to do with each other.
Seeing that you upgraded the Protect part, perhaps we could make the card like this:

Serve/Protect
Instant
W/1U
Target opponent can't be the target of spells or abilities until end of turn.
//
Counter target spell that targets you or a creature you control

This way, its a well-costed but restricted counterspell which might also mess up an opponents spell for W.

How's that?

Serve/Protect
Instant
W/1U
Target opponent can't be the target of spells or abilities until end of turn.
//

I really like this card. It can be a major disruption to an opponents game flow.

Card Name: Shield of the Void
Color: W
Cost: 2W
Type: Creature - Soldier
Pow/Tgh: 1/2
Rules Text: Shield of the Void gets +0/+1 for each Plains that has been removed from the game.
Flavor Text:
Rarity: C
Artist:
Number: 14/186


The only problem I see is that I may be over costed. 1W?

 

[Ransac]

Maybe it's overcosted, but it's a common anyway. I say leave it the way it is

Card Name: Subvert
Color: W
Cost: 3W
Type: Instant
Pow/Tgh:
Rules Text: Remove target creature from the game. It's controller loses 1 life for each B spent to play Subvert
Flavor Text:
Rarity: U
Artist:
Number: 15/186

 

[Ransac]

I agree, but only from the standard that it would be nuts in a draft as a common.

I'm kinda torn, but I'll agree with you. We'll see how playtesting goes.

[Limited]

Agree on making it an uncommon. Should it perhaps cost 4W? or is 3W expensive enough?

 

[Mooseman]

3W makes this a kick butt uncommon and that's cool.

 

[Mooseman]

Card Name: Tears of Eir
Color: W
Cost: 1WW
Type: Instant
Pow/Tgh:
Rules Text: Plainscast 1: You may remove 1 Plains card from your hand from the game rather than pay this spell's mana cost)
Prevent the next 5 damage to target creature or player.
Flavor Text:
Rarity: C
Artist:
Number: 16/186

Is 3cc good for 5 prevention? That's my only question on this one.

 

[Ransac]

Considering that the non-plainscast version costs 1W, I'd say 1WW or 2W works.

Card Name: The Great Equalizer
Color: W
Cost: 2WWW
Type: Creature - Giant Mystic

Rules Text: When ~ comes into play, you may sacrifice any number of lands. If you do, each opponent must sacrifice a permanent for each land sacrificed in this way.
Flavor Text:
Rarity: R
Artist:
Number: 17/186

Just one question..... Why is this White? Shouldn't it be Black?

 

[Limited]

Considering that the non-plainscast version costs 1W, I'd say 1WW or 2W works.


Ransac, cpa trash man

Totally agree

I think I made it white because we needed white cards.. but perhaps black would better suited.

 

[Mooseman]

After reviewing sac land cards, I think white may work here. Let's leave it alone and playtest it.

On to the next one.

Card Name: Ved-Folnir, The Hawk
Color: W
Cost: 2WW
Type: Creature - Bird
Pow/Tgh: 2/3
Rules Text: Flying (This creature can't be blocked except by creatures with flying.)

Flavor Text:

Card Name: Veteran Defender
Color: W
Cost: 2WW

Pow/Tgh: 2/2
Rules Text: Whenever Veteran Defender blocks, put a +0/+1 counter on all blocking creatures.
Flavor Text:
Rarity: C
Artist:
Number: 19/186


I like both of these. Do you think the CC is okay on both?

 

[Ransac]

One quick thing on the equalizer: It should DEFINITELY not be a common.


On the other two: Uncommons for both of them.

All 3 Uncommons..... I can see that.... we do have more rares than uncommons and the common to uncommon ratio is about 6:1

 

[Limited]

Neither of these cards are common; their abilities are too weird.
The Hawk should be uncommon (but its part of a cycle, right?) or perhaps it should be a (legendary) rare because it has a name. CC is fine though.

And the Veteran Defender's ability is a bit too good to be common. Maybe if it costed 4W?

Oh and I thought the great equalizer should be Rare..

The Hawk was not meant to be a legedary card..... I don't like the name=legendary restriction...... Change the name and put the name in the flavor text?

How about 3WW for the Defender as a common?

Rare? Sure that makes sense.

Its a restriction does seem kinda logical; if its legendary its worth giving it a specific name.. but changing the name to something more generic and using this name in Flavor text quotes or something seems like a splendid idea.

How about 3WW for the Defender as a common?

Deal.

Rare? Sure that makes sense.

Thats decided then.
