Pitzer - Green goes Black, White goes green

Dear faithful readers, which probably only exist in my delusions....  I have been super busy over the last 2 weeks and therefore haven't written in a while, sorry....  Im going to give you 2 cards to digest today, as that only seems fair.  One finishes the cycle that I was doing, the other begins the next one... On to card one.

So a big black creature(no this is not the start to a porn).  Generally black has had some fatties like lord of the pit, and alike, and they all seem to be demons.  SO that was the likely starting point, at least in my head.  He is big, powerful, has a sweet activated ability, and really makes the timmy in me wanna play black instead of teh usual green.  I give you Zalk!

OH YOU BIG SCARY DEMON!!!

So, here is what I came up with.  He is big, 6/4 is out of bolt range but will die easily if attacking happens.  He costs alot, cause 3BBB is difficult.  ANd he does something absolutely silly, Re-animate at instant speed, yes please.  The possibly most important thing to note is the fact that he can sacrifice himself to the cause if need be.  It is powerful, maybe even too powerful, but i like it and I made the card accordingly...  Suggestions are always appreciated.  

Card Two of the day looks at a new color, because the cards of the actual colors will be revealed at the end of the set.  I want to look at White and its many fantastic effects...  or OP if you choose to look at it like that.  White grants protection in its many forms.  Things like walls are white, and so are defenders, but the 2 keywords that always come to mind when i think white are vigilance and lifelink.  Both allow you to survive in a game for much longer as you have more blockers and more life.  When I make the cards I want them to have a feeling of sustainability.   Since green was left out last time... We will start with it.  

I want a green creature that allows for sustainability.  Walls were and idea, but green has walls already(I know its not a wall!!!).  The next one was vigilance, but vigilance just seems like a tree thing, and i did not want to make a treefolk, cause doran beat me earlier on MTGO.  Sorry...  I decided that a life gain type feel is best, so I came up with this diddy that satisfied my want and need for sustainability in a creature.  

I'll let you protect my land any day!

She has a large butt, DEFENSE WISE YOU PERV!!!  But honestly, she can block, and she protects you.  I did not give her defender cause that would feel like a wall and I wanted enchantments to be sweet on her. the life gain is another big part of the sustainability, so it helps layers that arent trying to be greedy with their mana base like many do in a boo draft.    It feels protective and feels powerful to me.. I was considering reach, but then I can't use the sexier picture, so I decided to avoid it.  Let me know what you think.  

Sincerely,

Pitzer
