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.
Kill and Replace 
Instant
Destroy target creature, then place a copy of that creature on the battlefield under its owners control, except that it is a black zombie creature in addition to its other types. If it is your turn, then you gain control of that creature.
Take a major character from a Ravnican guild, then create a card of them in another guild that shares a color with their original guild.

Rakdos, Rot Harvester 
Legendary creature - Demon Zombie, 6/6
Flying, Trample, Defender
Rakdos, Rot Harvester costs less to cast for each swamp sacrificed while casting it, and less to cast for each forest sacrificed while casting it.
Whenever a forest or swamp enters the battlefield, under your control, from your hand, you may put a land, from your graveyard, that shares a card type with it onto the battlefield under your control, then put a +1/+1 counter on Rakdos.
Rakdos can attack as though he didn't have defender as long as he has four +1/+1 counters on him.

Do another!

"Sometimes, the law is not enough."
Azorius to Selesnya now.
August 25, 2016 1:04 p.m.
Actually I made a mistake @Faytl. Azorius to Selesnya was an alternate to doing Azorius to Boros. We have already done a shifted-into-Selesnya and you just did an originally-Azorius.
We have, however, a complete cycle:
Rakdos, Rot Harvester (Rakdos to Golgari)
Sisters of Spreading Life (Golgari to Selesnya)
Trostani, Queen of Madness (Selesnya to Gruul)
Borborygmos, Mad Experimenter (Gruul to Simic)
Zegana, Stealth Adept (Simic to Dimir)
Lazav Enraged (Dimir to Izzet)
Niv Mizzet, Arrestor of All (Izzet to Azorius)
Lavinia, Azores Warmonger (Azorius to Boros)
Tajic, Collector of Tithes (Boros to Orzhov)
Teysa, Arouser of Spirits (Orzhov to Rakdos)
And also,
Momir Vig, Elemental Lifeform (Simic to Izzet)
I guess its a wild card unless @Faytl has a suggestion?
August 25, 2016 1:24 p.m.
MagicalHacker says... #18
The real reason we have a simic to izzet card is because dimir doesn't exist

That's what the azorious lawmages want you to think MagicalHacker...
August 25, 2016 2:41 p.m.
Whats this "Dimir" you guys are talking about? I never heard of such thing..
August 25, 2016 2:57 p.m.
This board is falling to conspiracy theories. Everyone stop talking about this imaginary guild called the Dimir. In the meantime, lets wait for Fatyl to give an alternate suggestion. If (s)he doesn't have any alternate suggestions, then we do a wild card instead.
