Skeletal Dragoon
{2}{B}{B}
Creature -- Skeleton Soldier
3/2

{1}{B}: Regenerate Skeletal Dragoon

***

Just another contribution toward some mid-sized creatures oriented at combat. I felt as though it would be just a little bit powerful in limited with a converted mana cost of 3 and I wanted to keep double-black in the mana cost. If people feel as though double black is unnecessary, I could change it to {3}{B}.

Did you know that Red is the color or art and music and passion? Combine that with Green, the color of nature, spiritualism, and community and you get a hippie commune of drum circles, dreamcatchers, and recreational drug use. Let's see that win a Pro Tour.

Current Wording:

Skeletal Vulture
{3}{B}
Creature -- Skeleton Bird
3/1

Flying
Whenever Skeletal Vulture blocks or becomes blocked by a creature, that creature can’t be regenerated this turn.

I really love the flavor on this sucker.  2BB seems fine for a 3/2 regenerator, because 2BB also gets a 2power flier, a 3/3 (Western/Eastern Paladin) and at least a 4power legend.

This is very similar to my Corpse Digger.

So it is. Time for retasking.

Skeletal Vulture
{3}{B}
Creature -- Skeleton Bird
3/1

I'm not sure this version works as well.  The idea of a Skeletal Vulture conjures up something more like a reverse Modular - it kills stuff and gets stronger because it scavenges the bones to make itself bigger.  It's a little on the high side of power, but the 1 toughness probably makes it okay, but the no regeneration clause seems to come out of nowhere, flavor-wise.

I think this card is a failure. I'll come up with a new, black, midsize creature, but I'll start a new thread for it. Please close this thread.

I like this card actually.  Maybe add another fun ability like "that creature can’t be regenerated this turn and loses protection from colors and artifacts until end of turn".
