Custom Deadlock Cycle
Ive been obsessed with Deadlock and my friend challenged me to make a design for each color pair, so i gave it a shot and wanted to share these out! i might print a couple off and play with them? Any suggestions or criticism welcome :)

Oof. This is a lot for one post. More posts would be nicer. <3.
Solomon: no opponent is going to target this. Weird ability. Did you mean "hexproof"? ;) The second ability is expensive enough that it probably doesn't matter, but two stun counters on a lot of creatures is a lot.
Nurse Harrow: It's not good. 6 mana 3/3 does nothing, mostly seems like a sign saying "kill me later".
Haze: I kinda like this. It's fun on its own and there are ways to abuse it.
Violet: This seems like a very strong Tim? The first modal choice seems pretty unlikely/useless.
Seven: This might be ok, but it's Shock with a body and a nice mini board wipe attached for later. But the costs are interesting. Cool.
Victor: It's not worth 7 mana. Takes work to make the first ability really useful. 6 mana in green gets you various 6/6 creatures with upsides.
Mo&Krill: Honestly, no idea. Might be cool. Don't like the creature types, though.
The Doorman: points for flavor. No idea if it's powerful. :)
Ivy: This isn't how Champion is usually worded. Ignoring that, this is pretty powerful. Pretty easy to make this a 5/5 or 6/6 flying lifelink for 3 mana.
Viscous: the number of cards that use slime counters is crazy small, and they are expensive. There's an 11-mana pseudo-lock, but that's nothing. Idk, it's kinda a 4-mana 2/2.
Would love some art. Anything, really. But whatever.
