Card creation challenge
Custom Cards forum
Posted on Aug. 28, 2015, 4:15 p.m. by TheNextRedDude
Ok, heres how this works. You create a card to the specifications of the person above you, then list your own card idea for the next person. I'll start.
Variety XX
Sorcery
If X is 2 or lower, draw X cards. If X is 3, put X +1/+1 counters on X target creatures. If X is 4, return X target creatures from your graveyard to the battlefield. If X is 5 or more, Variety deals x damage to target creature or player. If X is 10 or more, you win the game.
Create a life gaining multicolored Turtle with power twice it's toughness or vice versa.

The last challenge was from my last comment:
Make a card that can flicker itself - it has the line of text "exile [this card]; you may return [this card] to the battlefield under your control" (or its owner's control) - but, because of what the rest of the card is, sometimes you will want to leave the card in exile instead of returning it to the battlefield.

Vampire Bleeder 
Creature - Vampire
Lifelink, flying
When ~ enters the battlefield, you loose 5 life.
When ~ leaves the battlefield, creatures you control get +2/+0 until end of turn and gain lifelink.
: Exile ~;You may return it to the battlefield under your control.
3/4
It's a little off color for flicker but makes sense with the challenge.
Next up: a card that gives some bonus if it is delved (exiled from graveyard to cast spell), but punishes you for casting it.

Brink of Corruption
Enchantment
At the beginning of your upkeep, if you have exactly 9 poison counters, you win the game.
Shoutout to Near-Death Experience. Also, bonus round because I like alternate win-cons (this one is a bit more out there):
Contradiction in terms
Enchantment
Whenever one or more +1/+1 counters are removed from a creature with a -1/-1 counter on it, put that many paradox counters on Contradiction in Terms.
At the beginning of your upkeep, if there are 30 or more paradox counters on Contradiction in Terms, you win the game.
My challenge for this time is a bit more involved. Mark Rosewater has stated that the color white gets the most counterspells after blue - this is not because white gets actual cards that say "counter target spell" (Yes, yes, Mana Tithe and Lapse of Certainty - those cards are exceptions). Rather, white gets its own flavor of countermagic in cards like Nevermore. Blue countermagic is reacive. White "countermagic" is proactive in which it will stop you from casting the spell in the first place. What I want you to do is to design a green spell that is "green countermagic" in the same vein as Nevermore is "white countermagic".
October 13, 2015 6:23 a.m.
Rainbow's Reflection
Legendary Creature - Elemental Illusion
Whenever you cast a creature spell, it enters that battlefield with a +1/+1 counter on it for each of its colors. Then if it is red, it gains haste, if it is black, it gains deathtouch, if it is blue, it gains flying, if it is green, it gains trample, and if it is white, it gains first strike. Then put 2 -1/-1 counters on it.
Whenever you cast an instant or sorcery, copy it X times, where X is two less than the number of colors the spell is. You may choose new targets for each copy. Counter the spell if X is less than 0.
Whenever you play an enchantment card, if it is two or more colors, you may copy it and choose new targets for the copy
Whenever a permanent you control becomes the target of a spell or ability that is two or less colors, counter it.
5/5
Nature's Defiance
