Comments:

Jay Treat: Your mash-ups tended to be more literal and subtractive, but that actually worked for you, mostly. Your Gift of Lightning is the most elegant mash-up for that pair. Soldevi Serpent is fairly clean too, but it feels weird to see such a tricksy serpent. Charm of Mortality feels lazy.

Chah: Two of the modes are related (creature removal) while the other one stands alone, and that doesn't feel like a balanced assortment of modes to me. Also, the "destroy damaged creature" effect feels much worse than countering. But if it had just the last two abilities, it would still make sense as a Steel Sabotage-esque card.

Total for all 3 cards: 16.1
