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.

Land of the Burger King
Legendary Land
T, Sacrifice a creature: Put a 4/4 green Human creature token onto the battlefield.
Get it? It produces fatties! More theme continuation, this time do Wendy's.

Wendy, Ginger Queen 
Legendary Creature - Human Spirit
If a white source would deal damage to Wendy, that source deals double that damage to Wendy instead. If a red, blue, black, or green source would deal damage to Wendy, prevent half that damage, rounded up.
Soulshift 5
5/5
Subway?

Subway 
Artifact - Fortification
Whenever fortified land is tapped for mana, you may put a artifact token with "Sacrifice this token: Gain 2 life" named Sandwich into play.
Fortify 
Now make an unexpected flying demon cat.
September 22, 2015 5:10 p.m.
Rakshasa Dragonslayer 2BG
Creature: Cat Demon
Flying, Deathtouch

Artifact
On each upkeep, each player shuffles their library.
, Sacrifice ~: Each player reveals the top card of their library.
Make an evil non-Angel white creature.

MagicalHacker says... #7
Masia the Oppressor
Legendary Creature - Cat Cleric
Whenever a spell or ability you control taps another creature, that creature doesn't untap during its controller's untap step.
2/3
Next, make a flipwalker Nicol Bolas (please look up his lore if you don't know it).
September 23, 2015 12:25 a.m.
Karns_Pyromancer says... #8
Technically, that's a bad Command.
Glint-Eye's Command 
Instant
Choose two:
Counter target creature spell
Destroy target nonland permanent CMC 3 or less
Until end of turn, whenever you cast a spell that targets a creature, that creature gets +1/+0 until EOT.
Search your library for a land card and put it into play tapped.
Create a mechanic for creatures.

Nicol Bolas, Elder Dragon
Legendary Creature - Elder Dragon
Flying
Whenever Nicol Bolas, Elder Dragon deals combat damage to a player, that player discards a card. If that player has no cards in hand, exile Nicol Bolas, Elder Dragon, then return him to the battlefield transformed under his owner's control.
4/4
FLIP
Nicol Bolas, Forever Serpent
Planeswalker - Bolas
0 Destroy target non-legendary creature without flying, then put a number of loyalty counters on Nicol Bolas equal to the destroyed creature's toughness.
-X Exile a card from your hand with converted mana cost X, you may cast that card this turn without paying its mana cost.
-10 Target player's life total becomes equal to the number of creatures he or she controls.
I hope this is flavorful enough :P I'm bad at flavor.
Next, make a "vanilla" beater that gets better as the game progresses.
September 23, 2015 2 p.m.
AngryKitten says... #11
Explanation for Nicol Bolas, Elder Dragon (name sucks I know):
Player damage effect represents his mind shattering effect. The planeswalker (player) takes damage and loses their mind the process (access to spells). Would be more flavorful if discarded at random but more op also and I wanted him to be a 4/4 for 3 :P
First P/W ability represents him killing and feasting on prey which is how he became so powerful in the first place.
Second P/W ability represents his touch on his owner's mind, discharging some power for the casting of spells.
Third P/W ability represents his touch on his opponent's mind, making them hopeless since they have no creatures to rely on.
Again, I'm bad at flavor but that is what I thought fit.
Also, starting loyalty is 4 :P
September 23, 2015 2:07 p.m. Edited.
Angel of Life's Legacy W
Creature-Angel
Flying
When Angel of Life's Legacy enters the battlefield, put a number of +1/+1 counters equal to the game turn.
1/1
Mindripper 1BU
Creature-Human Rogue
Mindshatter-if an opponent has discarded a card this turn, Mindripper gains unblockable until end of turn
2/1
Make a colorless wish card to represent eldrazi homing in on a mana rich plane
September 23, 2015 3:09 p.m.
AngryKitten says... #13
I'm not really sure how that is possible to represent if I keep with the wish cycle....I hope this is good enough:
Consuming Wish 
Sorcery
Consuming Wish costs less for each land your opponents control.
You may choose a colorless creature card you own from outside the game, reveal that card, and put it into your hand. Exile Consuming Wish.
Create a card that interacts with your library in a way that cards usually interact with your graveyard.
September 23, 2015 3:49 p.m. Edited.
ABadMagicPlayer100 says... #14
Charmbuilder Devils 
Creature - Devil
At the beginning of your upkeep, put a random instant or sorcery card from your library into your hand.
Whenever you cast an instant or sorcery spell, ~ gets +3/+0 until end of turn.
3/3
Create a balanced card that grants you an additional advantage for every turn it is in play (example: Braid of Fire)
September 23, 2015 4:02 p.m. Edited.
MagicalHacker says... #15
Eye of the Triad
Legendary Artifact
At the beginning of your upkeep, put a fate counter on target permanent, then Scry X, where X is the number of fate counters among permanents you control.
Next, create a Legendary Creature to symbolize the five praetors from New Phyrexia spliced together to form the "Father of Machines" (again, look up lore...)
Also, AngryKitten, you did amazingly. You went above and beyond what I expected!
September 24, 2015 12:52 a.m.
AngryKitten says... #16
Sunderkrix, Father of Machines 
Legendary Creature - Consul
Whenever Sunderkrix enters the battlefield, each opponent sacrifices all creatures he or she controls, you put a 3/3 golem creature token on the battlefield for each creature sacrificed this way.
Sacrifice a permanent you control, If you sacrificed a land, add 3 of any color to your mana pool. If you sacrificed a creature, put an X/X golem on the battlefield, where X is the sacrificed creature's converted mana cost. If you sacrificed a non-land, non-creature permanent, put a +1/+1 counter on each creature you control.
6/6
Ugh...I don't like it but here's my reasoning:
He processes your opponents creatures and gains control over them after he has reformed them.
I wanted him to make your other creatures stronger symbolizing changing their flesh to much stronger metal......and processing land. idk.
Ok, well, I think it's time for another WILDCARD.
September 24, 2015 12:29 p.m.

Fight to the Death
Sorcery
As you cast ~, choose target creature you control and target creature your opponent controls.
The chosen creatures fight. If neither creature died, repeat this process.
Note: The wording on this is weird because I had to figure out a way to not make the card retarget every time it starts over.
Create an equipment to represent the sword Excaliber.
September 27, 2015 5:52 p.m.
Karns_Pyromancer says... #41
canterlotguardian, what's the set called and is it publicly available?
Stone-Locked Blade 
Equipped creature gets +5/+0, vigilance, first strike and menace.
Whenever a legendary creature enters the battlefield under your control, you may attach CARDNAME to that creature. Use this ability only if you control five or more lands.
September 27, 2015 6:17 p.m.
canterlotguardian says... #42
Karns_Pyromancer I honestly have no idea how to make an MSE set available. My plan was to wait until the thread died out (which it looks like that won't be happening any time soon) and then post the entire set on 4shared or something like that. As it's a set unique to my program, I don't think I can make it available to public viewing unless you have MSE as well. And even then, you wouldn't be able to receive updates to it when I make new cards. That's why I was going to wait until I had done all the cards and found images for them. (Less than 10 out of the 150 or so that have been made so far have images to them. Lol...)
September 27, 2015 6:44 p.m.
Karns_Pyromancer says... #43
I don't much care about images, if that helps.
There might be a way to make a database on the MSE website.
Anyway, next challenge: make a card so OP that the benefits are the downside or has a creative downside that balances it out (think 'Skyrim bow that instant kills, but puts all items into your inventory' kind of creative)
September 27, 2015 6:54 p.m.
TheNextRedDude says... #44
Still might be OP, but we need more Lhurgoyfs.
Carnigoyf GG
Creature- Lhurgoyf
Carnigoyf's power and toughness are each equal to the number of card types among all cards in graveyards plus 1.
Whenever Carnigoyf attacks, defending player may exile a card from their graveyard, pay 1 and exile a card from your graveyard, or both.
Create a card that makes your opponent sit and watch as he kills himself.
