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.

Momentary Truce
Instant
Prevent all combat damage that would be dealt this turn. Each player chooses a creature they control and draws cards equal to its power.
I was inspired by the Christmas Truce of 1914.
Make another historical event as a card.

Unseal the Tomb
Sorcery
Kicker - Discard a card.
Scry 2, then draw two cards.
If Unseal the Tomb was kicked, instead scry X, where X is the number of artifact cards in your graveyard, then draw two cards.
Howard Carter paid the kicker. Geraldo Rivera didn't.

Uroro, the King Majik

Whenever you cast an instant or sorcery spell, copy that spell. You may choose new targets for the copy.
When Uroro dies, the controller of a creature that dealt damage to it this turn or a spell or ability that targeted it this turn creates a token that's a copy of it, except it's an enchantment instead of its other types.

Apparently she does not have a card, so give her one.

Omenpath
Plane - (left intentionally blank)
As you venture to this plane and at the beginning of your upkeep, you may play a land from your hand. That land enters the battlefield tapped.
{Chaos} Whenever chaos ensues, shuffle all plane cards back into the deck and reveal the top three. You may choose which plane to venture to next. Put the remaining two on the bottom of the deck in a random order.
Make a another card for a format other than Commander / EDH and tell us what it was intended for if it wasn't obvious (as mine was for Planechase)
These obviously include Standard, Modern, Vintage and Legacy but let's not forget Draft, Penny Dreadful, Oathbreaker, Two-Headed Giant, Archenemy, Planechase and whatever else I may be forgetting. :)

Bathe in Blood
Sorcery
If a creature died under you or a teammates control this turn, draw 2 cards and lose 2 life.
Then if 3 or more creatures under you or a teammates control died this turn, create 3 Blood tokens.
Then if 5 or more creatures under you or a teammates control died this turn, each opponent sacrifices three creatures.
Then if 13 or more creatures under you or a teammates control died this turn, each opponent loses 20 life and you and your teammates gain 20 life.
Fiery Gambit has always appealed to me design wise as a fairly cheap sorcery that can do something regular, but has inbuilt potential to go crazy and win the game if you push it.
Make another card that is impacted by what your teammate is doing.

Sylex Reforged
Legendary artefact
When ~ enters the battlefield Sacrifice it.
Escape Exile 2 other cards from your graveyard
When Sylex reforged escapes Exile all cards originally printed in New Phyrexia or Phyrexia all will be one.
"The sylex has a long history dating back to the great Thran Empire, It was used to end the brothers was and has been used to destroy Phyrexians before. Today we do it again"-Karn to Saheeli Rai
The original Golgothian Sylex is memorable and flavourful card which given its massive significance to the lore is very appropriate. When Urza used this weird plate looking thing it destroyed an entire continent.
I feel like Karn's Sylex and The Filigree Sylex didn't quite do the card justice.
also it surprised me that Golgothian Sylex is actually tournament legal. this is fully an okay thing to print on a card but it does feel a bit meta.

I went with Esper instead; I hope that is okay?
I did this to meet both challenges 33 and 34 simultaneously.
Welp, wouldn't be a precon without Joker and Harley Quinn. So make them.
If we following Guild partners that make a shard or wedge, I'd suggest Joker being Rakdos and Harley Quinn being Izzet.
I know, color-wise Harley should be Rakdos as those are "her colors", but Joker is the prince of chaos and Quinn is an insane genius, so I think we can let it slide.
Besides, her new color pallet is anyway.
October 3, 2024 3:12 a.m.
I think chaos and genius work for both joker and harley. And it does feel odd them not both being rakdos but lets go with it anyway
Joker, Prince Of Chaos

-50/2
No, that isn't a typo. It's power is actually negative fifty. This means if you somehow gave them all +50/+50 it would only become a 0/52.
Meant so they you can't have an army of indestructible high power creatures, without a tremendous amount of work.
Fun challenge. It was nice using a forgotten tribe for once.
That's your next challenge. Make something for a creature type you don't recognize from this list

Ironwood, the Dreadwillow
Legendary Creature - Zombie Treefolk Wizard
Defender
Ironwood may crew vehicles using its toughness rather than it's power.
Whenever Ironwood crews a vehicle, you may pay life equal to twice that vehicles crew cost. If you do, that vehicle becomes a creature in addition to its other types.
3/9
I went through a few different designs but ultimately wanted to create some type of zombie that would somehow gain control of vehicles. After several races and designs, I settled on the idea of a zombie Treefolk encroaching it's roots into vehicles and imbuing them with some sort of quasi-necromantic energies that allowed it to gain control of vehicles as extensions of its own being.
This design took three different attempts as I tried to figure out how to make it's effects permanent while adhering to the rules of crewing. Rather than say something is "permanently crewed" or using counters with "This creature gets" paragraphs, I opted for the much cleaner "becomes a creature"
I then had to think of a way to ensure Ironwood could actually crew something. I had gone around with +1/+1 counters but that could potentially become an infinite loop and thus
- u n l i m i t e d
- p o w a h
So I opted for it's toughness being what metric is used, rather than it's power.
Between the strange necromantic energies and the high toughness, that feels Golgari to me, despite being a major color pie break as neither color should care about artifacts in this way.
All that's to say, this went over 6 or 7 revisions so I hope you all enjoy it <3
Whew... Make a non-legendary Jeskai dragon. Any setting is fine; Doesn't have to be Tarkir.
