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.
Deep-Root Ivy
Enchantment
Artifacts and lands you control cannot leave the battlefield.
Couldn't you just have Veil manifest the card? I checked the wording for it, and you could manifest it, then cast it for the veil cost. This also means we don't need another morph/manifest overlay token.
It could be worded like this:
Disappearing Clouds
Instant
Return all attacking and blocking creatures to their owner's hands. Scry X, where X is the number of creatures returned to their owner's hands in this way, then draw a card.
Veil (You may pay to manifest this card. Turn it face up and cast it for its veil cost at any time.)
Make another card with veil
September 12, 2016 8:31 p.m.
No because the wording of manifest says "If it's a creature card."
Wield the Blade of darkness
Instant
Veil
Destroy target nonblack creature. AS long as Wield the Blade of darkness is facedown, it gets -1/+1 and has deathtouch.
make another card with veil that does something while face down.
September 12, 2016 8:54 p.m.
Salt Spray
Sorcery
Veil
Tap all creatures target player controls. If you cast Salt Spray from veil, Salt Spray deals 1 damage to each creature tapped this way.
As I understand it, you would need to reveal the veiled card as you put it face down for it to have an effect. Otherwise, I could just say, "This one has deathtouch," and there is no legal way you could challenge it, even if I'm lying. If the game ends while it's still face down and I shuffle it back in without revealing it, you can't tell whether or not I just cheated. So something like
Silent Raid
Instant
Veil
You may reveal Silent Raid when you play it face down. If you do, it gains ": This creature deals 1 damage to target creature."
Destroy all creatures dealt damage this turn.
Create a card that could not have been printed 10 years ago. Bonus points for not directly mentioning changed rules. (Mana burn, multiple people controlling the same legendary, etc., just to get you started.)
September 12, 2016 10:42 p.m.
being of Aether
sorcery
return target non land permanent to its owners hand.
Veil (You may play this card face down as a 2/2 creature for . You may turn it face up and cast it at any time for its veil cost.)
as long as being of Aether is face down you may show it to an opponent and it gains "U return being of Aether to its owner's hand.

we have sural for gideon, goggles for chandra, jace got a pencil, create a new chain viel for liliana or a ???? for nissa
September 15, 2016 1:40 a.m.
Nissa's Trowel
Artifact
At the beginning of your upkeep, you may return a land card from your graveyard to your hand. If you control a green planeswalker, put it onto the battlefield instead.
I think veil and manifest does work, since if a manifest is a creature, you can turn it face up for its mana cost, but if it's an instant or sorcery you wouldn't be able to normally. This means that with the veil cost, you would be able to turn it face up and cast it, but only for veil cards.
Might require a smallish rules tweak in the larger rules, but the concept plays fine with current rules specifically for manifest.
