Venser's Interplanar Vessel (written)

[heraldry_lord]

Venser's Interplanar Vessel

Mana Cost: {6}

Power/Toughness: 5/5

Legendary Artifact - Vehicle

 

Flying

 

When Venser's Interplanar Vessel enters the battlefield or attacks, you may search your library for a basic land card, and put it onto the battlefield. Then shuffle your library.

 

{2}{W}{U}: Exile Venser's Interplanar Vessel. Return it to the battlefield under its owner's control at the beginning of the next end step.

 

Crew 2 (Tap any number of creatures with power 2 or more: This Vehicle becomes an artifact creature until end of turn.)

Nice design. Ridiculous in limited but most bomby colorless cards are. It's not relevant but Venser is dead in the lore, I'm assuming this is some leftovers from Mirrodin vs Phyrexia?

I know Venser is dead; he was building a ship that could traverse the planes before he met Koth and Elspeth, but it was never finished.

 

This would represent the finished product, assuming they ever revisit that, but it seems Kaladesh might be the first place to revisit the idea of actual planar portals (based on Rashmi).

I'd remove the self-flicker ability. It's absolutely ridiculous in EDH-esque formats: no color outside of green should get repeatable land ramp with such ease.

The self-flicker is actually there for both gameplay and flavour reasons, so maybe there could be a compromise?

more flavor for that last ability would be if it exiled after attacking and coming back later...? You know, you have to pilot it to....wait...mmmm

Does making it a trigger ability on dealing combat damage work for you? Because that's what I changed it to. :V

make it delayed flicker instead of an instant one. Like make it come back at the start of the end phase. It's a little less abusable that way and more in line with normal flicker effects .

So make it like Venser the Sojourner's +2; I think that might actually fit better, yeah.

I was thinking more in the line of something similar to this

 

Venser's Ambulator [mana]4[/mana]

Legendary Artifact - Vehicle

Flying

When Venser's Ambulator enters the battlefield and it wasn't cast, you may draw a card, then put a card from your hand on the bottom of your library.

[mana]3WU[/mana]: Exile Venser's Ambulator and each creature crewing it. Return each card exiled this way to the battlefield under their owner's control during the next end step.

Crew 2

[2/3]

 

more or less

That's pretty different. I'm not really willing to change what it does that much.
