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.

Is this good enough? Maybe Flametongue Kavu would be better. Make a green removal spell that doesn't involve fighting or dealing damage equal to power or toughness.

Chuff_Bucket says... #33
I decided to go with Challenge 2 from TGDS1. You can find the prompt here: http://mtgsalvation.gamepedia.com/The_Great_Designer_Search
Since I don't want to design 10 cards, I picked one of the prompts at random using RNG, assigning numbers 1 through 10 in ascending numerical order from the first White prompt to the last Green prompt.
My prompt is: Red uncommon Creature. Want a build around me for draft (aka something that will encourage players to go down a path or paths he or she wouldn't normally had they not drafted this card early; examples of this type of card are Lightning Rift, Mark of Eviction and Momentary Blink).
To satisfy the art requirement of the prompt, I decided to go to the Digital Art tab on Deviant Art, selecting "Most Popular of All Time." I picked the first picture that I found which seemed like it would realistically be art commissioned for a red MTG card.
I came up with this:
My challenge is to create a card for Jaghan Dal, Prime Ignus!
