You're more amazing than spellcasting

I just got a big ol' bag of KitKats today as a gift from my mom fuck yeah I'm gonna make magic cards about it

Also I don't remember why but the idea of a saga creature got put into my head so while I was making KitKat cards I also made this

#asks #custom cards #is the professor balanced? i have no idea #the only comparable creature is that one from AWBO that starts with 4 oil counters and dies when it runs out #but you're supposed to prolong that one with proliferate #numbers wise this card is bonkers #you get a 4/4 haste a 3/2 and an Inspired Charge for just 4 mana #but it's given out really slowly and you lose the big creature after 2 turns #so i have NO IDEA how strong this card is #i think it's somewhere between good and broken #so you know. an average rare card #a creature that automatically kills itself isn't very appealing so i don't expect saga creatures to become a set mechanic #not in standard at least #just like how Urza's Saga was printed in a supplemental set #anyway i came up with the lorehold idea almost instantly when i started making the card #i was writing the typeline “Enchantment Creature Saga... huh. what creature type could be a living story? spirit maybe? OH!” #lol i don't even care that much for strixhaven or lorehold but the flavor feels kinda perfect #a spirit called from the past to relive their history #not legendary because there were lots of professors that lorehold staff and students remember as “the finest professor” #it's not really an objective thing lol #though a saga commander would be really neat #like that “Origin story” mechanic from last week's inventor's fair #not even as a saga creature or in addition to a creature i think just a saga commander would be really neat #anyway i'm going back and forth on whether the professor should have vigilance or first strike #first strike would make it able to attack without fear of getting multi-blocked and killed #but that might be too strong #actually how good is a 4-drop 4/4 haste? #checking gatherer: pretty good apparently #but a 4-drop 4/4 haste that dies in 2 turns? hmm #but if your opponent doesn't kill it early then it gives you tons of value
