Tilde and Rose are two personal favorite NPCs from our campaign, a nurse and a florist in the quiet town of Cobbleston who are madly in love! Rose always finds excuses to hand-deliver medicinal flowers and herbs to Tilde’s clinic. Together, they helped our heroes rescue an injured child after a run-in with the villainous Ans Fleurellian!

I knew from the start that I wanted to design these two as a pair, with clear synergies tying their effects together. After some playtesting, I realized that the “Partner With” mechanic would be a perfect fit! Here’s where I landed:

Tilde, Nurse-In-Training
Creature — Elf Cleric (2/1)
008/275 Common

Partner with Rose, Devoted Florist (When this creature enters the battlefield, target player may put Rose, Devoted Florist into their hand from their library, then shuffle.)

When Tilde, Nurse-In-Training enters the battlefield, target player gains 3 life.

Rose, Devoted Florist
Creature — Dwarf Townsfolk (½)
138/275 Common

Partner with Tilde, Nurse-In-Training (When this creature enters the battlefield, target player may put Tilde, Nurse-In-Training into their hand from their library, then shuffle.)

At the beginning of your end step, if you gained 3 or more life this turn, draw a card.
