TitansFTW's Card Spoofing Challenge #2
Challenges and Articles forum
Posted on July 11, 2013, 12:19 p.m. by megawurmple
Yep, that's right. The Card Spoofing Challenge is back.
After the last Challenge I ran, I decided that I wanted to do another because of how fun it was. However, I didn't want it to just be the same as last time, so Xindlepete and I came up with the idea of a restriction or theme. Therefore, this time round, the theme will be...
Prehistoric
This means that entries must be a spoof of a card that was printed before, but not including, 8th edition.
As inspiration, I will include 2 examples of what I mean:
Only 1 entry is allowed per person. When you post a spoof, please link to the card you are spoofing as I have done above. If you don't have a program on which you can do such mock-ups, just post your spoof in text form and I'll mock it up for you.
Prizes will only be given out if 6 or more people enter. More prizes will be given out if more people enter.
The deadline for this is 1 week from now on 18th July at 6:00 GMT.
Good luck, and happy spoofing!

oops. Just saw the thing about the card has to be before 8th edition. So here is a new one.
Roshi's Pupil based off of Embermage Goblin Flavor text for it. "Kamehameha!" yelled the young goblin.

And I've got KnightsBattlecry001 covered, Embermage Goblin is one of my all-time favorite gobs, I am honored to do the mock-up for you! Hope it's to your liking:

Also, TitansFTW, I would totally cast my vote for "The Elephant of Surprise". Sooo perfect, I love it! :D

@ Xindlepete thanks! Appreciate it! Yeah I like it thanks again.

Hmm, that Force of Will spoof looks awful familiar...
Fact or Fiction time!
EOTFOFYL 3U
Cast EOTFOFYL only during your opponent's end step.
Reveal the top five cards of your library. Your opponent chooses which ones get to kill him. If you control a Psychatog, You win next turn. Otherwise... you still win.
"Fact or Fiction? More like "Rock or Hard Place"!
July 11, 2013 11:02 p.m.
Yay... My favorite format... I never play anything apart from modern or standard or extended, an OCCASIONALLY a bit of edh. Oh well... I guess I'll give it a go... Hmm... I was thinking of doing shahrazad, but it was too hard, so I'm going with Craw Wurm
. (Give it the alpha art if someone wants to mock it up.
Crap Wurm 4GG Creature - Terrible Card.
When Crap Wurm enters the battlefield or attacks, search your library for two land cards, and realise how much better the situation would be if those were on your battlefield, and if you had 2 more toughness and trample. Jokes, this is flavor text, Crap Wurm doesn't even have THIS ability.

doinitwrong: I hope you don't mind if I used it. It's just that it's a funny spoof. I'll try to get your card spoofed up when I get home later. Same goes for KingSorin.
Xindlepete: Nice one, and cheers for spoofing that goblin for me. I always loved Elephant Ambush , but I never understood the flashback cost. Surely if you're ambushed by an elephant once, you're not going to ambushed by an elephant again.
July 12, 2013 2:46 a.m.
Cool... Gotta love Craw Wurm . It's funny how much better Primeval Titan is.

Xindlepete says... #16
@TitansFTW: It's a classic "Fool me once, shame on you, fool me twice shame on me" scenario. Only with stampeding elephants that think they are trees. Oh, silly elephants! :D

@TitansFTW: It's fine, I don't mind at all.
Heh, there's totally a second elephant hiding behind the elephant hiding behind the tree.

Lord of the pit,New name,
Lord of the Eaters
BBB4
Creature demon
Flying, Trample
Feed the Lord of the Eaters a creature you control, it goes into a rage and sits on you dealing 7 points of damage to you, then Lord of the Eaters allows you slink away to find more food, while it crushes your opponent
more cake sweety?
7/7

I've always wanted to try one of these. I don't know much about these old cards, but I'll give it a shot.
Dominating Licid 1UU
Creature- Licid
1UU, Tap: Take control of the biggest fatty on the board. Dominating Licid becomes an Aura attached to that creature. Whenever the fatty Dominating Licid is attached to is targeted with a removal spell or a bigger, better fatty comes into play, pay U to make Dominating Licid become a creature again.
So I see you have an Emrakul on the field. It would be a shame if something.... happened to it.

Force of Will becomes:
New name: "Force of Will Wheaton"
Same Type: Instant
Same Text: "You may pay 1 life and remove a blue card in your hand from the game rather than pay Force of Will's mana cost. Counter target spell."
New artwork:
New Flavour Text: "When you say a 'former child star,' you may as well say 'failed child star.' - Will Wheaton"
July 12, 2013 3:21 p.m.
Oops... didn't update the Rules text to represent the new Card Name.
Also, for those who are unable to the shirt, it says, "My sword glows Blue in the presence of Rules Lawyers"... just so fitting for the card, for Will and for Magic.
July 12, 2013 3:31 p.m.
Xindlepete says... #26
ZOMG YES!!! "Force of Will Wheaton"! :D :D :D :D :D That is FANTASTIC! :D Even his shirt is perfect for the card - "My sword glows blue in the presence of Rules Lawyers"!

We seem to be going through a bit of a dry patch in terms of entries at the moment. Remember to tell your friends to enter and send them a link. The more spoofs we receive, the more fun we have.

Just click the HTML link in photobucket and paste it into here.

Stasis 1U

Players skip the next hour of their lives.

My decktop with MSE is in storage, so a mock-up would be appreciated :)
Yawgmoth's Will
2B - Sorcery
Until the end of the turn you now have 2 hands, proceed to win.
"Uncle Yawgmoth loved me most. That's why in his will he left everything to me, and everyone banned it."

As an extra before the new rules make this card obsolete:
Jace Beleren 1UU
Sorcery
Destroy target Jace, the Mind Sculptor . It's controller's wallet cannot be regenerated.

ChiefWannaHacka: that pun is either awful or hilarious; I can't tell which.

MindAblaze says... #36
Based on Persecute ;
Antisocial Knob
Choose target player with a monocolored Commander. That player has no fun for the rest of the game.
"I swear man...it wasn't my fault...really, it's your fault..."
July 16, 2013 12:10 a.m.
MindAblaze says... #37
Yeah, ChiefWannaHacka that was a good one.
Sorry, I chose the Urza's Saga version of Persecute forgetting it had been reprinted

ChiefWannaHacka says... #38
Awfully Hilarious perhaps? Though more probable is it is Hilariously Awful lol.

Cheers for all the entries. They'll be mocked up as soon as I get the time later.

Goblin Test Pilot
Flying, Defender
When ~ is untapped and would die, flip a coin. If you win the flip, ~ destroys itself. Otherwise it deals two damage to you. This ability only triggers if ~ has been under your control since your last untap step.

landgrafb and RussischerZar:
"Therefore, this time round, the theme will be...
Prehistoric

Please read all instructions before posting.
As for everyone else, your spoofs will be up in a couple of hours. I had a bit less time than I thought immediately after I got home.
July 16, 2013 11:37 a.m.
I don't have the software for this, but here is my stab at this:
ber Time-Walk 2B
Sorcery
You take an extra turn after this one,And after your opponent has started To untap their lands, take another Turn.
Flavour text: Laugh while you can, It won't last long...

My first post was my entry. The second one was just something I felt like adding as a related aside.
July 16, 2013 12:58 p.m.
megawurmple says... #45
Sorry landgrafb, I didn't see that.
Kittacus: I assume you mean 2U or 1U in the mana cost of your spoof of Time Walk .

megawurmple says... #50
Only one day left. Remember to tell all your friends to enter, or enter yourself if you haven't already.
KnightsBattlecry001 says... #2
Here's mine. Dragon Kit Kat Bar based off of Dragon Fodder . Here is flavor text for it as well.
The goblins looked to the sky and saw a huge winged creature. The goblins thought to themselves give me a break!
