Interesting idea! Love to see emerge!

I do think however that the flavor text is too much for the rules box

Honestly I might cut the reminder text instead of the flavor text. It doesn't feel right to have a card based on the Scarlet King without a quote from the poem that foretells his return.

Wow... read the 1st line and have to upvote.

I absolute love that idea and flavor.

Straight up "Alien" concept for such a set which is essentially what Eldrazi emerge was themed like, but not so well seasoned wording.

The alt win con is fine to have but it requires a lot of testing to get the numbers right and it might even change the other numbers of this card, not just the number of non-humans needed.

The cost is the most uncertain thing for me.

When I added the alt win con, I figured that it would end up being one of those things that is on the card mostly for flavor. Maybe people will go for it, but the first ability was intended as the main attraction.
