After doing this regional Tinkatink line getting possessed by a Honedge a couple weeks ago, I had to give my girl a happy ending.

Honedge (Steel) -> Claymaul (claymore + maul) (Steel/Fighting) -> Durgladius (Durga + gladius) (Steel/Fighting)

This Tinka stuck in a Honedge's body learns not to get defeated by her situation and to grow despite her difficult circumstances.

I designed this line to be a "rival" line to the other Tinka/Honedge one. Maybe they'd be version exclusives or something. As such, their typings are somewhat symetrical, in that Tinkatrick's types are both neutral against Durgladius, while Durgladius has one double effective and one zero effective type against Tinkatrick.

At first I considered making her a pure special attacker, but that would put her at a severe disadvantage against the physical Tinkatrick 'considering it already has an imunity for a safe switch-in). In the end the design was so compatible with a variation on Stance Change that I went with that instead.

1. Cast Pitiless Plunderer and Xiahou Dun.
2. Cast Saw in Half, targeting Pitiless Plunderer. You now have 2 of them.
3. Cast Reanimate, getting the original Pitiless Plunderer back onto the battlefield.
4. Sacrifice Xiahou Dun, getting Saw in Half back into your hand. Create 3 treasure tokens.
5. Cast The Cloning of Shredder, exiling Xiahou from your graveyard and creating a nonlegendary copy of him.
6. Sacrifice your treasures to cast Saw in Half on the Xiahou Dun token. Now you have 2, and they don't destroy each other because of the legend rule. Create 3 treasure tokens.
7. Sacrifice a Xiahou Dun, getting Saw in Half back from your graveyard and creating 3 more treasure tokens.
8. Use 3 of your 6 treasure tokens to cast Saw in Half on the remaining Xiahou Dun token, creating another 2, along with 3 treasure tokens.
9. Repeat for infinite treasure tokens.
10. Cast Grave Crawler, Vampiric Rites, and any zombie.
11. Use your infinite treasures to sacrifice Gravecrawler to Vampiric Rites, then cast it back from the graveyard. Draw out your entire library and gain that much life.
12. Cast Feast of Sanity.
13. Cast One with Nothing, discarding your library-sized hand and dealing that much damage + gaining that much life.

Bonus: Non-black card, but throw in an Elixir of Immortality to get your library-sized graveyard back into the library. You'll get your One with Nothing back with Vampiric Rites, and can now repeat this combo any number of times.

Was this just an excuse to draw some Gardevoir? You can't prove it.

1. Cast Battle of Wits.
2. Cast Gideon Blackblade. He's a 4/4 creature now.
3. Cast Ashaya, Soul of the Wild. Gideon becomes a Forest.
4. Cast Lightning Greaves and equip them to Gideon. He now has haste.
5. Cast Bootleggers' Stash. Gideon can now tap to create a Treasure token.
6. Cast Kaya and activate her -2.
7. In response, cast Vantress Visions and copy that ability. Gideon now taps to create 4 Treasure tokens.
8. Cast Companion of the Trials. This allows us to untap Gideon for two mana.
   1. Edit: Because of shroud, you'll have to swap the Greaves between Gideon and the Companion in order to untap Gideon.
9. Loop: Tap Gideon to create four treasures. Sac two treasures to untap Gideon. You have 2 leftover treasures.
10. Do this 100 times, so you have 200 treasures in play.
11. Cast Claire D'Loon. All your treasures become cards.
12. Sacrifice 200 treasures. I don't care what you do with the mana, give Gideon banding 100 times or something. You now have 200 treasure tokens in your graveyard.
13. Cast and use Elixir of Immortality to gain 5 life points! And shuffle all your treasure tokens into your library I guess. Now we'll win at the next upkeep!
14. Cast Last Chance to make sure your next upkeep is right now and not let your opponents have a turn to stop you.
15. At your next upkeep, Battle of Wits activates. You win!

Two mons near to my heart, and with the early gen 3 concept art I figured I'd jump on the stoneswap bandwagon. Behold: the Latias I wish we had instead of the indentical design they gave us with Latios.

Technically not original cards... But can you get what they are, and what the overall theme linking them is?

As a minimal effort in the fight against AI, here's a direct link to the art source.

Oh course this is when the goblin runs out of energy 💀

Has this ever happened to you ?

>Short clip of a trainer seeing an item on a roof, then unable to find the right path to get to it.

Then rest easy, because I just made a roof navigation map of Lumiose City!

Features:

• Holovators
• Ladders that lead to a roof
• Scaffolding that leads to a roof
• All 4 spots with crates that help you move between areas
• Bridges
• Possible leaps & rotom-glides for moving between buildings
• Inaccessible roofs
• One-way drops and impassable walls & fences
• Roof-exclusive wild area entrances
• Underground and under-roof paths

>Short clip of a trainer looking at their map, tracing the best path to the object they noticed. The trainer looks up to the camera and grins.

Swipe to the second image for a simplified version of the map, featuring the main chunks of buildings and highlighting the main access points to each!

This took me a few hours to make to i hope some of you find it useful. Hopefully I haven't made any mistakes. 😅

And of course, despite running up to every single rooftop, ladder, and scaffold, I'm still one screw short. 🙃
