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.

Gatherer of the Aether 
Legendary creature - Elf Shaman
When ~ enters the battlefield, choose a card type
When you cast a card of the chosen type, place X experience counters on the field, where X is amount of colors in the spell.
: Place an experience counter on the field.
Whenever you cast a spell of the chosen type, if you have 20 or more experience counters, return all creatures your opponents control to their hands, then you may search your library for a card of the chosen type and put it in your hand. If you do, you lose experience counters equal to its converted mana cost times two, then shuffle your library.
Behold, the aether, and one with the experience to manipulate it.
Regarding a previous comment: I know it has been years since the movie came out, but have we all forgotten Snakes on a Plane already? This calls for a Samuel L. Jackson themed card. That is the next challenge!
