These are my creations. The two new regions are Ludge and Fareal. I welcome balance and flavor comments, so long as they are constructive criticism and not thinly veiled (or totally unveiled) insults.
Ludge is the kingdom of junk, a place that overlaps a bit with nearly every region around. When Tryn outgrows a peice of clothing, when Poad's leftovers go bad, when Greka burns another pair of gloves, they all wind up here. The people of ludge are generally a hodge-podge of other regions, come here along with the other trash, so there are few pure Ludge magi. The ludge are noted by their ability to use junk in the making of new things or just drawing strength from it, and can even reanimate fallen dream creatures as pale shadows known as Dredges.
Lost Treasure Amalgam Ludge Dream Creature 3 Effect-Strength of Junk: When you play lost treasure amalgam, add one energy to it for every relic in your discard pile, to a maximum of seven energy added. Every shard of glass, every rusted scrap, every broken toy.
Forgotten Dream Amalgam Ludge Dream Creature 3 Effect-Strength of Memories: When you play forgotten dream amalgam, add one energy to it for every dream creature in your(each?) discard pile, to a maximum of seven energy added. Every imagining lost, every hyren slain, every wish unfulfilled.
Archaic Magic Amalgam Ludge Dream Creature 3 Effect-Strength of Aracane: When you play archaic magic amalgam, add one energy to it for every spell in your(each?) discard pile, to a maximum of seven energy added. Every enchantment broken, every scroll crumbled, every power faded.
I'm not sure if its overpowering or not to have them trigger for each card, or if it's overpowering now.
Greybone Whistle Ludge Relic 2 Power-Dredge: (1) dredge any dream creature (put a creature into play under your control from any discard pile with one energy. It has no region and loses all effects and powers (put the energy on the text box to remind you)). The shrill percing notes call back lost memories and dispersed animite quickly but not fondly. (Is this better, or should I add an activation cost?)
Greybone Flask Ludge Relic 0 Power-Dredge: discard greybone flask, drudge a creature (put a creature into play under your control from your discard pile with one energy. It has no region and loses all effects and powers (put the energy on the text box to remind you)).
Fruits of Decay Ludge Spell 3 Add four energy to any ludge creature or dredged creature. To rot is to reclaim life from death.
Serious balance advice wanted. Greybone Summoning Ludge Spell X (X+1? X-1? X+2? 5?) Dredge a creature from any discard pile, where X is the starting energy of the creature. (put a creature into play under your control from your discard pile with one energy. It has no region and loses all effects and powers (put the energy on the text box to remind you)). Then estore that creature to its starting energy. Animite, animate, anime, drink the dust of withered kine, dead forgotten without home, serve me and rise from this loam. -Ludge Incantation
Serious balance advice wanted. Greybone Reanimation Ludge Spell X+1 (X+2? X? 4? 6?) Dredge a creature from your discard pile, where X is the starting energy of the creature. It regains its effects, but does not recover powers or regions.(put a creature into play under your control from your discard pile with its starting energy. It has no region and loses all powers (put the energy on the text box or turn the creature upside-down to remind you)). Then restore that creature to its starting energy. Dreamers forget, but the dream always remembers itself.
Hordoth Ludge Dream Creature 5 Effect: Caustic Meltdown- If hordoth attacks and is defeated, discard one energy from each non-ludge, non-bograth, non-core creature controlled by the opponent. Ludge shadow magi may play Hordoth. Insert weak pun, bland quote, or vaguely evocative statement here.
Greybone Arboll 4 Power-Dredge: 1 dredge a creature from your discard pile. Power-Unlife Channel: 2,Discard Greybone Arboll to add 4 energy to any dredge.
Uncanny Totem Ludge Relic 3 Effect-Shadestrong: whenever you dredge a creature, add one energy to that creature.
Rzatt Ludge Dream Creature 1 Effect-Disease: whenever rzatt discards energy from a creature in an attack, roll a die at the end of turn. On a two, three, or four, or five, discard one additional energy from the creature. On a six, discard that creature from play. Does this look infected? -Tony
Greybone Hyren Ludge Dream Creature 7 Power-Dredge Reanimation 5 (X?,X+1?): dredge one creature in your discard pile. Then Restore it to its starting energy. "The Greybone Keens" -A ludgite way of saying "oh bugger, not again."
Llock Ludge Magi/Kybar's Teeth Magi 9, 6 Starting: Moga Pup, Lost Treasure Amalgum, Greybone Flask Power-recycle: choose three relics in your discard pile. Put one into play, and the other two on the bottom of your deck. Llock must pay for each point of energy above 3 in the relic's cost. He made me a television out of a cracked climbing staff and a rusty spoon, and he can't even pronounce "television!" -Tony
Fareal I don't fully know about the fareal region itself. It's a surreal place, with natural laws and time-space that undulate chaotically, and every part of the landscape is changing into something else. Not sure if I should assign it to the home planet, somewhere beyond the stars or in between space, or some nebulous realm "above arderial and beneath the underneath". The fareal creatures are bizzare and amorphous, fantastic and alien in form and function. Some of them seem to shift and alter as you look at them, some instead warp and distort the world around them. The magi of fareal are just as strange. Possible because of the world around them, they are all "eccentric" at best and "stark raving loonies" at worst. Their bodies are as aberrant as their minds, some have nests of thin tentacles for hair, too few fingers or too many eyes. Most simply look like their parents made out at a chernobyl drive-through, but a few blur or erase the line between person and thing. All things from fareal are dramatic and hard to control. Random elements, distortion of time and probability, feature strongly in fareal things. I'm considering making only certain cards of the region playable by other magi, a la core.
Erratic Energy Fareal Spell 3 Roll a 6-sided die. 6-Add 1 energy to each of your fareal creatures 3,4,5-Add 4 energy to one fareal creature. 1,2-Choose and add 2 energy to one of your opponent's creatures. Submerge? A mere footbath. Enrich? A paltry mudmath. This is REAL healing!
Wrig Fareal Creature 1 Effect-global synthesia: Choose two regions other than core and universal. All text that checks for the first region instead checks for the second region. All text that checks for the second region instead checks for the first one. If green became blue and blue became green, would we ever truly know the difference? Well, yeah, I guess so. ...smart-aleck. -Unnamed mystic in conversation with Tony.
Balance help wanted Unknowable Force Fareal Spell 4 (3? 5? 2?) Roll a 6-sided die. 1-discard one energy from each of your creatures 2-add one energy to each creature in play (your creatures and the creatures of other players). 3- Roll a 6-sided die and add that much energy to any creature 4-Roll a 6-sided die and discard that much energy from any creature 5-search your deck for a relic and put it into play without paying a cost. 6- Add five energy to your magi and draw three cards.
Talisman of improbability Fareal Relic 0 Effect-exaggerate: whenever you roll a 6-sided die, flip a coin. If heads, reduce the roll by 1. If tails, increase it by one. "What are the odds of that happening?"
Utter Pyramid Fareal Relic 0 Effect-distorted tryptic: choose three regions other than universal and core. All instances of the first region in card text are replaced with the second region, all instances of the second region in text are replaced with the third region, and all instances of the third region are replaced with the first region. Looking at the pyramid, your reflection is always on the bottom side.
K'gloth Fareal Dream Creature 4 Power-2 unpredictable ray: choose a creature, and roll a 6-sided die. 6-Discard that creature 2-5-discard two energy from that creature 1-add that creature's starting energy to it, or add three energy to it, whichever is more. What doesn't kill you...might do anything.
Vial of Chaos Fareal Relic 0 Power-Discharge: roll a 6-sided die and discard flask of chaos. 1-Discard one energy from your magi 2-discard a card from your hand 3 exchange the top card of your library with the bottom card of it. 4-shuffle your deck 5-add three energy to your magi 6-draw two cards A corked bottle of who-knows-what.
Balanced? Ayemeer (Picture resembles an eyeball with a tentacle-tail and five smaller eyeballs around it.) Fareal Dream Creature 1 Power-Fivesight: Look at the top five cards of your deck, and put them back in any order. Like forsight, but a sight better. or Oracles can merely see the future. Ayemeers touch it.
Balanced? Arklebrand Fareal Magi 13: 6 Starting: Erratic Energy, Ayemeer, Vial of Chaos Effect-Artiphobia: At the end of your turn, roll a six sided die. If you get a one, discard all relics you control. Power-Entropic Bolt 3: choose a creature and roll a six-sided die. Discard that much energy from the creature. "Why are you looking at me like that? STOP IT! You're in league with Them aren't you? DIE DIE DIE DIE DIE!" -Arklebrand's conversation with a baloo root.
More later.

Ludge almost sounds like it could be universal if needed. . . Hmm. . .I like the way they work, but starting the creatures at 4 may be a bit rough, perhaps 2 or 3 would balance it out, or adding a limit to the amount of energy, 8 maybe?
Ah, about the whistle, it almost seems like it's power has two names. . . Perhaps it could be re worded to be Effect: Power-dredging note- Your magi gains the power "Dredge (2) Choose a creature in any discard pile ,put that creature into play under your control with one energy. It has no region and loses all effects and powers (put the energy on the text box to remind you).
Keep the cards coming, I'm interested in this other region you speak of as well.

Wandering Bandersnatch 4 Farreal Dream Creature Effect-Charge: when bandersnatch attacks, add one energy to it before energy is removed. Effect-Tear Boundries: when a bandersnatch attacks an arderial or underneath creature, add two energy to it before energy is removed.
On the Baldersnatch. . . Unlees it gains three energy when it attacks an arderial or underneath creature, you might want to change it to something like what I typed below. Since WB is essentially a clone of Bhatar, intent wise, aside from it favoring two regions instead of one, perhaps it would be best to format his text to match Bhatar.
Charge- Whenever Baldersnatch attack a creature that is not Underneath or Arderial, add one energy to it before energy is removed.
Tear Boundries- When Wandering Baldersnatch attacks an Arderial or Underneath creature, add two additional energy to it before energy is removed.
Just a little technicallity. . .

As of right now, I have nothing constructive to add, but I have to say I am very impressed with the Ludge region. It sounds like something that would fit into MND. It's like the "Dirty Jobs" of the moonlands.
