I'll definitly try make a few later, but I have a problem- some of the cards I'll be making won't have names (I've never been good with names).

Question- what do you mean by "vertical and/or horizontal cycles" ?

I think he means slip cards like Fire/Ice

[QUOTE=Portugaru]I think he means slip cards like Fire/Ice[/QUOTE]

by vertical cycle I mean 3 cards in the same color that are related to each other: one common, one uncommon, one rare/mythic (example:Jace's Erasure, Jace's Ingenuity, Jace Beleren)

by horizontal cycle, I mean 5 cards, one in each color, that are related to each other (example: Seal of Cleansing, Seal of Removal, Seal of Doom, Seal of Fire, Seal of Strength

A quick attempt.
I based the names off of Steamflogger Boss's flavour text
"Whip the Xs Pinch the Os

It has your choice of Assemble or ":symtap:: Sacrifice a contraption. Put X Sheet Metal artifact tokens into play, where X is the sacrificed Contraption's Power plus the sacrificed Contraption's Toughness, divided by 2, rounded down.""

This was fun. I hope you understand that last one. It has a self-replicating ability that allows it to put a sheet metal toking into play that has all of it's abilities, minus the self replicating ability.

They are all common, except for the Rigger Rigger, who is uncommon.

Inspiration: Should be fairly clear that I took this idea from Siege-Gang Commander, a staple of M10-era goblin decks. It's different because there's more than one way to put those tokens into play, and the uncommon one can make more if you're willing to sacrifice more artifacts to assemble contraptions (and with spellbombs, who isn't?). There's my take on the Steamflogger Boss vertical cycle.
