Sand Series

[Espithel]

One of the first cards I ever designed for elements, back in 2010, was called Maceration. It cost gravity, and it destroyed a permanent, giving ash eaters a buff. The idea of that is because ash eaters eat ash, so they eat the shredded permanent. I've evolved this idea into a series that focuses on the use of a single card called Sand.

This series has about 12 cards. I'll add more eventually.

Note: Whenever a card says "Sacrifice Sand" or would otherwise target Sand, it targets randomly.

1: Sand | Sand

Spoiler for Hidden:

NAME: Sand ELEMENT: Time COST: 0 TYPE: Creature ATK|HP: 0 | 1 TEXT: Sacrifice this card: Add to your quanta pool.	NAME: Sand ELEMENT: Time COST: 0 TYPE: Creature ATK|HP: 0 | 1 TEXT: Sacrifice this card: Add to your mana pool.

ART: A small Child NOTES: This is the card that every card in this series is based off of. This is the master card. SERIES: Sand

2: Sand Monster | Sand Walker

Spoiler for Hidden:

NAME: Sand Monster ELEMENT: Time COST: 3 TYPE: Creature ATK|HP: 2 | 5 TEXT: Sand Trail: Whenever Sand Monster attacks, generate Sand. It gets -0 | -1.	NAME: Sand Walker ELEMENT: Time COST: 3 TYPE: Creature ATK|HP: 4 | 2 TEXT: Sand Trail: Whenever Sand Walker attacks, generate 2 Sand. It gets -0 |-1.

ART: A Small Child NOTES: The upped version is quicker, but gives you less sand and deals less damage. SERIES: Sand

3: Maceration | Grind to Dust

Spoiler for Hidden:

NAME: Maceration ELEMENT: Gravity COST: 4 TYPE: Spell TEXT: Destroy target permanent. Generate 3 sand.	NAME: Grind to Dust ELEMENT: Gravity COST: 3 TYPE: Spell TEXT: Destroy target permanent. Generate 3 sand.

ART: A Small Child NOTES: Gravity gets this card because the theme is two gravity fields ripping something to shreads and ash. The cost is modeled from Steal. SERIES: Sand

4: Ambrosia | Fertile Ambrosia

Spoiler for Hidden:

NAME: Ambrosia ELEMENT: Life COST: 3 TYPE: Creature ATK|HP: 1 | 1 TEXT: Sacrifice Sand: Ambrosia gets +3 | +3. Activate this ability up to twice each turn.	NAME: Fertile Ambrosia ELEMENT: Life COST: 4 TYPE: Creature ATK|HP: 1 | 1 TEXT: Sacrifice Sand: Ambrosia gets +4 | +4. Activate this ability up to twice each turn.

ART: A Small Child NOTES: Sand... Soil... Ash... They're all the same thing in the end, right? This living thing is nurtured by the life, and is made stronger as a result. SERIES: Sand

5: Beach | Shingle Beach

Spoiler for Hidden:

NAME: Beach ELEMENT: Water COST: 5 TYPE: Permanent (Shield) TEXT: Shield: Reduce damage by X. X is the amount of Sand you have.	NAME: Shingle Beach ELEMENT: Water COST: 4 TYPE: Permanent (Shield) TEXT: Shield: Reduce damage by X. X is the amount of Sand you have.

ART: A Small Child NOTES: This was going to be an earth card, but... I have a funny idea for that. :3 I think this is the last of the generic stuff. SERIES: Sand

6: Incubation Pod | Paradox Pod

Spoiler for Hidden:

NAME: Incubation Pod ELEMENT: Tercord* COST: 3 Tercord* TYPE: Permanent TEXT: Sacrifice Sand: Put a random creature into play.	NAME: Paradox Pod ELEMENT: Tercord* COST: 3 Tercord* TYPE: Permanent TEXT: Sacrifice Sand: Put 3 improved Antlions into play.

ART: A Small Child NOTES: ALL HAIL THE GREAT LORD ANTLIONS! ACCEPT THE ANTLIONS, WHICH ARE NEITHER ANTS OR LIONS, AS YOUR OVERLORDS! *This card is supposed to be Earth/Entropy (Tercord), but I can't find the mark or background so I'm using filler. Otherwise, this does exactly what you think it does. The idea is you're using sand to incubate antlion eggs... and it goes horribly wrong. SERIES: Sand

7: Sandman | Wand of Grit

Spoiler for Hidden:

NAME: Sandman ELEMENT: Darkness COST: 3 TYPE: Permanent (Weapon) TEXT: Weapon: Deal 2 damage. Sacrifice 3 Sand: Fill your opponent's hand with copies of target creature.	NAME: Wand of Grit ELEMENT: Darkness COST: 4 TYPE: Permanent (Weapon) TEXT: Weapon: Deal 2 damage. Sacrifice 2 Sand: Fill your opponent's hand with copies of target creature.

ART: A Small Child NOTES: Being eaten alive by antlions is either one of the scariest or most beautiful dreams possible. 6 Sand isn't the easiest thing to get into play, so I'm okay with spammable ghostmare. SERIES: Sand

8: Charlatan Dragon | Dragon Storm

Spoiler for Hidden:

NAME: Charlatan Dragon ELEMENT: Other COST: 5 TYPE: Spell TEXT: Turn 1 Sand into the dragon of your mark. They have Illusionary.	NAME: Dragon Storm ELEMENT: Other COST: X*2 TYPE: Spell TEXT: Turn all Sand into dragons of thier owner's mark.  They have Illusionary. X is how much Sand there is in play.

ART: A Small Child NOTES: Illusionary means that if the creature is targeted or dealt damage or flooded or cloaked or anything, then it dies. Otherwise, fun card is fun. SERIES: Sand

9: Sandstorm | Sand Blanket

Spoiler for Hidden:

NAME: Sandstorm ELEMENT: Air COST: 4 TYPE: Spell TEXT: Deal 1 damage to every creature. Generate 2 Sand for each creature killed this way.	NAME: Sand Blanket ELEMENT: Air COST: 7 TYPE: Spell TEXT: Deal 1 damage to every creature. Generate 5 Sand.

ART: A Small Child NOTES: The upped version may be UP. Focus on the sand generation. Otherwise, yeah. SERIES: Sand

10: Fragment Rebuilder | Fragment Reconstructor

Spoiler for Hidden:

NAME: Fragment Rebuilder ELEMENT: Aether COST: 4 TYPE: Creature ATK|HP: 0 | 5 TEXT: Sacrifice 3 Sand: Put a random Shard into your hand.	NAME: Fragment Reconstructor ELEMENT: Aether COST: 3 TYPE: Creature ATK|HP: 0 | 6 TEXT: Sacrifice 3 Sand: Put a random Shard into your hand.

ART: A Small Child NOTES: Sand is ground up matter. Ditto soil, Ditto ash. It's ground up, macerated matter. This card rebuilds that matter into Shards. It's a bit of a stretch, but how else do you expect me to make an aether card for this set!? SERIES: Sand

11: Bone Pollen | Skeletal Pollen

Spoiler for Hidden:

NAME: Bone Pollen ELEMENT: Vitamor* COST: 4 Vitamor* TYPE: Permanent TEXT: Sacrifice Sand: Creatures you control get +1 | +1. Generate Sand whenever a non-Sand creature dies.	NAME: Skeletal Pollen ELEMENT: Vitamor* COST: 4 Vitamor* TYPE: Permanent TEXT: Sacrifice Sand: Creatures you control get +1 | +1. Generate 2 Sand whenever a non-Sand creature dies.

ART: A Small Child NOTES: *This card is supposed to be Vitamor (Death/Life), But I can't find the mark or background, so I made the card death. I would say that this card is the most powerful card in this entire series. It validates boneyard and bone wall and vulture as monodeath. SERIES: Sand

[Chapuz]

I specially like the  one, as it makes a huge buff to kitten decks.

[Vangelios]

Poor sand... always being sacrificed.
upped sand Add to your mana pool? heritage MTG.

[Zawadx]

Really nice series. The only thing which I see is Sand being too time-centred, but aside from that it's good!

[LonelyBarstool]

I think this is a very good idea. Good work!

[Chapuz]

I noticed that Dragon Storm is totally OP 

[Espithel]

This set is actually REALLY silly when you think about it.
It's basically pseudoquanta; You're using another resource to activate abilities and stuff.
So, of all the things to use as a resource... Crystals, more energy, insanity, Small Children...
Why sand of all the things?

I specially like the  one, as it makes a huge buff to kitten decks.

I like the death one too.
It's self-sufficient, which I would like more of these cards to be.

Poor sand... always being sacrificed.
upped sand Add to your mana pool? heritage MTG.

Spoiler for Sand Appreciation:

NAME: Sand Appreciatior ELEMENT: Light COST: 6 TYPE: Creature ATK|HP: 0 | 5 TEXT: Gains +5 | +0 whenever Sand dies.	NAME: Sand Rights Activist ELEMENT: Light COST: 5 TYPE: Creature ATK|HP: 0 | 5 TEXT: Gains +5 | +0 whenever Sand dies.

ART: A Small Child NOTES: Are you happy? And, I'll fix that mana pool glitch... Hehe, that was embarrassing... And revealing... Monowhite enchantments ftw... SERIES: Sand

Really nice series. The only thing which I see is Sand being too time-centred, but aside from that it's good!

I don't mind Sand being too time-centred, because Monotime really only has Pharaohs and Dragons.
But thank you anyways.

I think this is a very good idea. Good work!

Thank you. :3

I noticed that Dragon Storm is totally OP 

Well, you are getting tons of San-
2 for a dragon... Okay, point accepted.

Maceration and Paradox Pod would be the next two OP things.
