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.

Let's see another.
August 2, 2024 4:48 a.m.
Wild Wind
Plane - Pandemonium
Creatures and Planeswalkers can't be targeted unless the source's controller pays
CHAOS: Whenever Chaos ensues, roll 1d6. Return each nonland permanent with mana value less than the result to their owners' hands.
Make another Planechase format Plane card from Pandemonium
(I'm expecting a DND theme, but interpret it from whatever inspires you)
August 3, 2024 2:46 a.m. Edited.
Citadel of Slaughter
Plane - Pandemonium
Creatures get -1/-1 and have haste and vigilance and must attack or block if able.
When Chaos ensues, create Chosen of Erythnul, a 6/6 black and red legendary Ogre Warrior creature token with first strike and menace.
Create another Plane card. Half a bonus point if it's from a personal/original D&D or other RPG campaign (not a prewritten adventure or setting).
August 3, 2024 3:03 a.m.
Moss Forests of Mulamo
Plane - Agotith
Each time a source would deal damage to you, if chaos hasn’t ensued, prevent 1 of that damage.
When chaos ensues, All other cards become artifacts in addition to their other types.
The Moss Forests were created by Mulamo many millennia before the year zero in order to protect his worshippers, so that he could leave them to their own devices without having to worry for their safety. The forests provided protection for millennia, preventing bugs from swarming crops and pests from nesting in the homes. Everything seemed to be going well, until the Fasthen architects attacked...
When they struck, many of the Molik had already left the forests for the eastern mountains, frustrated with the absence of their god and in pursuit of new horizons. The few that remained were not enough to hold the Fasthen Architects at bay, and succame to their assault. The ones that refused to join the Fasthen were killed or experimented on.
The Fasthen Architects warped the Forests, one by one, turning the flora and fauna into lame and dead minerals. The soil became dull marble and the moss turned to toxic vozith. The once thriving land could no longer nurture any life, becoming so toxic that even the gods turned away from it.

Arcway Racer
Creature - Human Berserker
Haste, blitz (Whenever a creature with blitz attacks, create a token copy of it tapped and attacking. Exile the token at the end of combat.)

ooooh, okay
Dragonhide Armor
Artifact - Equipment
As you cast Dragonhide Armor, you may sacrifice a dragon you control. If you do, Dragonhide Armor costs less to cast.
Equipped creature gets +2/+2 and has protection from red. If a dragon was sacrificed when you cast this spell, they also gain protection from dragons.
After Dromoka was ruthlessly sacrificed during the Dragonstorm Wars, her scales outfitted entire legions of Abzan warriors who took to all of Tarkir with a ferocity that not even Artaka herself could match.
Equip
For your challenge:
- Make literally anything, but with flavor text that showcases the death of one or more beloved and named characters. In my case, it was the death of Dromoka and the incoming death of Atarka.

Bestial Anamnesis
Sorcery

"Domri had made his choice too quickly. He put the ends before the means. Allying with the Dragon God should have been accompanied by a certain amount of apprehension. However, his brashness had always been his greatest attribute; that which inspired his thrall. The spirit of his intentions, however history will remember them, will be remembered by innumerable generations of Gruul as motivation towards his ideology. His spark was taken by The Advisory, but it lives on within his successors."
I just did a flavor text. Do you have any idea how difficult that was for me? Also, I don't know lore very well, so I had to do research for this, and I'm probably not entirely in touch with whatever happened with the Gruul after WotS. So please just let this one go through.
And because of all that work, obviously I was ninja'd, lol. See challenge above.

Deathbloom Widow
Creature - Spider (Rare)
Lifelink, reach, deathtouch, menace

Yeah, the activated ability should cost 10x. That might prevent the instaban.
Or maybe
That would keep it from being easily abused.

TypicalTimmy says... #34
- implying my deck doesn't exist...
Dazzle, Shockforce
Legendary Planeswalker - Dazzle
Flash
The first creature spell you cast each turn has flash and haste.
+1 Target creature you control gains haste.
-3 Until the beginning of your next upkeep, the next spell you cast has flash.
2
A while back I asked for a Planeswalker who had "speed force" like powers, similar to The Flash and Quicksilver.
Figured that would be appropriate for a Modern-playable Planeswalker.
Flash on a Planeswalker does nothing, but it lets her get out during your opponents end step, which means you save mana during your next turn since you untap and have already cast her. Plus it's flavorful.
She's from Kaladesh btw :)
Wild
August 7, 2024 2:32 a.m.
Valtiss Kel, Scion of Ahgu II
Legendary Creature: Dragon Shaman
Menace
Whenever a creature you control becomes blocked, reduce its power to 0 until end of turn. Creatures blocking it get -0/-X until end of turn, where X is equal to its toughness

Fist of Zaren
Creature - Ape Berserker
Haste
Whenever Fist of Zaren attacks, you may have it fight target creature you don't control.
Zaren's ferocity and brutality cut swaths of legions down, fertilizing the land with their corpses and watering the crops with their blood. His unbridled rage was so relentless that not even death itself could stop the anger that ensued.
5/5
My #1 favorite custom commander

Double ninja'ed. Awesome. That was for the Modern-playable planeswalker.
Watch me get ninja'ed again as I write this, but here's the disciple/follower. Way back I made Sul Bek the Shredder in this thread. Ogre Mercenary with partner and no other abilities in . So,
Sul Bek's Flunkies
Creature - Ogre Warrior
As long as you control another creature with power 5 or greater, Sul Bek's Flunkies and other Ogres you control get +2/+2 and have menace.

August 7, 2024 5:30 a.m.
seshiro_of_the_orochi says... #41
moo1234: I think it should read "Equipped creature deals 1 damage to each creature defending player controls."
With Baylen, the Haymaker being Naya and being the Bloomburrow rabbit colours, would be an enemy version. A Bant villain seems super-unusual, I kinda dig that.
Samlin, Deceitful Preacher
Legendary Creature - Rabbit Cleric
Ward
Whenever you sacrifice one or more tokens, surveil 2, then draw a card for each token you sacrificed. This ability triggers only once each turn.

Ninja'd
Fancy Feast
Instant
This spell costs less to cast if an enemy controls a Food.
Target creature deals damage equal to its power to up to two target creatures. If one or more creatures die this way, gain 3 life.
The untapped lands ability to represent the stillness of the pond (land). I enjoy this lil pond mage.

Akahalla, The Cleansing Fire

As you cast Akahalla, you may sacrifice any number of permanents. Each permanent sacrificed in this way pays for .
When Akahalla enters the battlefield, scry X where X is the number of permanents sacrificed when casting it. You may choose to exile any number of these cards face down rather than put them in the bottom of your library.
Whenever Akahalla deals combat damage to an opponent, you may play a face down card you own an exile without paying its man failure.
6/6
Artistically he would be a searing red snake setting the world ablaze with his movements, with meadows and groves sprouting from behind him.
He burns and destroys the landscape, but renews and replenishes at the same time.
Repeat, but this time in Naya.

Emberwillow

Emberwillows are known to be ablaze for months, even years before finally dying. Some speculate that the plant has long since been dead, and that the fires themselves are what is alive.
