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.

As someone who, literally last night (Tuesday, 15th October), battled a sudden engulfment of suicidal depression so severe that I had to get on the phone not only with my best friend, but also my mom... I think I am qualified for this one.


Swallow Whole


I am 35 years old, and on the verge of crying right now...


Make something happy.

October 16, 2024 1:21 a.m.

TypicalTimmy says... #2

Oh, in the event anybody asks (Which I'm sure someone will), ... yes, I am doing better.

It was something deeply personal that happened between my fiancee and I. Long story short, one of her family members began spreading lies about her, to me, trying to convince me that she was cheating on me - with the expressed hopes that I would leave her, because they don't like me.

Yeah.

Thankfully instead of blowing up in incredible rage at her, I was able to maintain my calm and composure and we talked it out and realized everything being said was vicious lies.

But in the meantime, the depression set in harder and faster than ever.

  • "Timmy, didn't you use to speak about your rage and anger like all the time?"

Yes, I did. But she helped to heal me over the past year and a half... The thing that actually made me dedicate myself to her and our future together was one day she came to me, terrified, needing legitimate help. She texted me on the verge of tears, then said she needed to go because she was afraid of my response but had no other option but to ask...

And that made me realize where I was in my life... A person genuinely and deeply loves me, trusts me and cares for me... yet is fully and wholly terrified of me...

That broke me. It shattered my very soul.

So I immediately dedicated myself to changing my life once and for all, not even for me, but for her.

So you can now understand why, when I was told these atrocious and vicious lies about her, it utterly destroyed me.

But thankfully, because I have been working on my rage for the past 5 or 6 months, I was able to approach her calmly and asked what we need to do as adults to move forward with our relationship, or would she like to end it. Thankfully because I was calm, she and I talked it out and are still together.


Sorry for the rant and story, but I know people here care and I wanted to take the time to make a single post everyone can read, rather than everyone posting their own questions and comments, which would require replies, which in turn bogs the thread down.

This seemed like the simpler option, so I hope you all understand <3


Let's continue with the challenge:

  • Make something happy.

Take care of yourself, and take care of her. And don't invite that family member to the wedding.

Joined in Heart

Enchantment

Whenever a nontoken creature you control enters, if you don't control a creature with soulbond, you may put a soulbond counter on it. (You may pair that creature with another unpaired creature when either enters. They remain paired for as long as you control both of them.)

Paired creatures you control have indestructible.


Create a Sphinx that doesn't use .

October 16, 2024 4:03 a.m.

TheoryCrafter says... #4

TypicalTimmy, I concur with legendofa. Cut that person out of your life and put anyone who backs that person on a hard notice. Congratulations on your upcoming wedding! :)

Also, in my opinion, you may very well had made the best alternate win card I've ever seen on this thread.


Priest of Klothys

Creature- Sphinx Cleric

Flying

Whenever ~ attacks, discard two cards. Then draw X, where X is the number of cards you scried during your precombat phase.

5/3

FauxFaux says... #5

TypicalTimmy, heart bleeds for ya friendo, I've dealt with similar in-law drama and conflict myself; fully agree with the two previous positions: Cut that tumor off, and focus on your partner. You're married to them, not their relatives. Peace and prayers for you and your family.


Illicit Offer

Instant

Choose target creature an opponent controls. They may sacrifice it. If they don't, choose another target opponent. That player may pay . If they do, exile ~ from your graveyard, and they may cast a copy of it without paying its mana cost. If they do, you and that opponent each draw a card and gain 6 life. If not, you gain 1 life and may scry 1.

"You are free to refuse. However, I will find someone else to do it and you will not escape the consequences."


Challenge:

Create a card with the following flavor text:

"There is a great delineation between attempted murder, and murder. That typically being a corpse. However, in this case..."

I get that Mental Misstep is banned in like, everything. but this is basically just a counter counter spell with nearly no other uses.

make a card called Mr.Brightside or Mr.Darkside (or even Mrs of either)

October 16, 2024 1:05 p.m.

TypicalTimmy says... #9

Mr. Brightside

I wanted to make him feel like an SCP from the SCP Foundation, if anyone is familiar with that series. If not, look it up because it is genuinely amazing. Although recent entries have fallen to the wayside due to restructuring of the administration of the website. There's been a lot of in-fighting between the ranks.

Anywho...

Using an online dice roller if you don't have the dice at your disposal, roll a single d20 (a 20 sided die) and whatever the value you rolled, that becomes the mana value of the card you must next make.

So if you roll a 17, your challenge is to make a wildcard with MV 17

October 17, 2024 1:49 a.m.

FauxFaux says... #10

Omnipresent

Legendary Enchantment

At the beginning of each upkeep, create a token copy of target creature. If it is Legendary, create a non-legendary token copy instead.

Creature tokens you control gain Indestructible.

"Thank and praise Him for His omnipotence, omniscience, and omnipresence. Pray David's prayer over your own life. Confess your sin and walk in holiness - (Psalm 139:23-24)"


Create either a card for Omnipotence, or Omnibenevolence. Make them either black, red or white!

October 17, 2024 8:08 a.m.

Tsukimi says... #11

Omnibenevolence

Enchantment

Each player cannot lose more than 5 life each turn.

Whenever a player does not attack you during their turn, you and that player may each draw a card.

Whenever a player puts a land into play, if any other player has less lands, that player may put a land from their hand onto the battlefield.

"Sure you can win, but can you win fair and square? Let's find out."


Continue the cycle.

(Also TypicalTimmy a lil late but I feel you on that and was in the throws of it myself, that's why I did the prompt. It feels weirdly kinda nice to have company in the misery lol)

October 17, 2024 10:36 a.m.

Made_Compleat says... #12

Omnipotence

Enchantment

Whenever you cast a spell. exile cards from the top of your library equal to the amount of mana you spent to cast that spell. You may cast the exiled cards without paying their mana costs.


Last bit of the cycle is black.

Aminatou was fascinated with making reality more... interesting.


Create a planeswalker that flips into a land. (P.s. remember if it flips the land probably has to be better than the planeswalker, so either it's going to be a bad planeswalker, or a really really good land. P.P.s also I have no idea how that would work lore wise)

2/4

"She was hatched from the first egg on New Zhalfir, and she will not stop until she has seen all of it." - Afari IV, Tales


Lore challenge. Create a card for either Azeworai or Afari, the two big storytellers of Zhalfir.

October 20, 2024 1:25 p.m.

TypicalTimmy says... #23

I couldn't find too much lore on either of them, other than both are responsible for recording history, writing songs and spreading stories. Both of which are mentioned in numerous flavors texts, but don't seem to have any real cards associated with them. I think they're both Human, and I know they're both from Dominaria. So that's the angle I'm going with here.


Afari and Azeworai

Legendary Creature - Human Bard

Historic spells you control cost less to cast. This effect can't reduce it below 1 mana.

Whenever you activate the final chapter ability of a Saga you control, you may pay . If you do, copy it. You may choose new targets. Otherwise return the Saga to your hand.

4/4


If you think I did it well, wild

If you don't believe I captured them well, or you have your own ideas for either both or single cards, repeat

Whenever another Biscuit is put into the graveyard from play Put 2 +1/+1 counters on target creature. If that biscuit was named "Custard Cream" it gains menace

"The sworn rival of custard creams, it is said that at the end of times, the two factions will find a desolate cliff edge and have an epic battle, where they yell about their differing ideologies"

to prevent biscuit tin being abused by thassa's oracle. I meant it to shuffle the exiled cards back into the deck

October 21, 2024 5:47 p.m.

TypicalTimmy says... #26

Can't tell if challenge is to invoke sarcasm or not.


For The Greater Good

Instant

As an additional cost to cast this spell, sacrifice a legendary creature or Planeswalker you control.

Prevent all damage to target legendary creature or Planeswalker you control, and it gains indestructible and hexproof. It can't be sacrifices or change zones. These effects last until end of turn.

"You've served me well, Myoxies. We have spanned generations and nations together. You have been loyal and, what I may consider to be my only friend." - Ob Nixilis


No, Myoxies isn't a character in lore. I only needed a name for the flavor text.

So make Myoxies. This would be someone Ob Nixilis knew prior to becoming a Planeswalker, and may have actually had a role in his spark igniting.

October 21, 2024 6:02 p.m.

TheoryCrafter says... #27

Myoxies

Myoxies is black*

Legendary Artifact Creature- Construct

If an Nixilis Planeswalker enters, or a loyalty ability of a Nixilis Planeswalker is activated, draw a card and lose 1 life.

If one or more creatures attacks a Nixilis Planeswalker you control, ~ must block a creature attacking it.

1/4


So expanding on the lore TypicalTimmy created, Myoxies was the researcher who found a scroll detailing the Temple that housed the ritual to wipe out all the people on Ob Nixilis' home plane. Nixilis briefly returned to his home plane to utilize Myoxies on a plane where he encountered an obstacle. Myoxies would remain at his side for many conquests until it sacrificed itself to save Ob Nixilis from another Planeswalker.

Create a sorcery based on this lore.

October 21, 2024 9:02 p.m.

TypicalTimmy says... #28

For those unaware, since we are speaking on lore, Ob Nixilis on his unnamed plane was one of the most feared generals of his world. He lead militia to slaughter entire civilizations and kingdoms, but he wanted more. He was not satisfied and wanted immeasurable power.

He made a pact with a demon who granted him this power, in exchange for eternal servitude. But Ob Nixilis was just as cunning as he was brave. He killed the demon, stealing the power without the service. He then enacted genocide on his entire plane, killing a everything and then eventually the plane itself.

What ignited his spark wasn't the genocide, but the realization that there was nothing left to slaughter.

So I assume the scroll mentioned above was the means to exact a true planar armageddon.

In fact, after he lost his spark on Zendikar, he spent tens of thousands of years slaughtering everything in his path trying to reignite his spark, failing to realize it wasn't the bloodshed that did it but the lack of bloodshed.

That's why I hate that he became a kingpin on New Capenna.

He went from a plane-wide Hitler enacting genocide of trillions... To Al Capone?

Nah, I'm good.

TypicalTimmy says... #31

Thanks! Ob is among my favorite walkers, up there with Sarkhan, Narset, Ugin and Angrath (Remember, Tarkir is literally my #1 most beloved plane of all time)

October 21, 2024 10:09 p.m. Edited.

TypicalTimmy says... #32

Anyway I feel terrible for bogging the thread down with multiple posts.


Invoke Annihilation

Sorcery

If this spell becomes countered, the controller of that spell or ability loses three times X life.

Exile all nonland permanents except for your commander(s) with mana value X or less. Each opponent loses X life and discards X cards.

Myoxies dutifully gave its existence to Ob Nixilis' reign of terror. It's only regret, in its final moments, was not witnessing oblivion for itself.

Spawn Breeder

Creature - Eldeazi

When Spawn Breeder enters the battlefield, create twelve 0/1 colorless Eldeazi Spawn tokens. They have , sacrifice this creature: Add .

20/1


That could easily become an infinite combo piece. Consider in an Izzet deck with Deadeye Navigator and Fervor. All you need is some type of mana filter, such as Energy Refractor amd suddenly you have infinite ETB triggers, infinite bodies and infinite mana off all colors.

Nasty stuff, man.


You know what I'd like to see? A well balanced and flavorful Vampire Samurai.

So that's your challenge.

And for added challenge, if you'd like, he or she must contain in their identity also.

3/5

He stokes fire in the blood of his followers, but his own blood lies cold and still.


These two cards are kind of at extremes. One feels like a bulk common, while the other is mythic rare.

Now he's the Planeswalker who basically makes contracts with demons, that contradict contracts of other demons, right? Basically he's sold his soul so many times that now all of these various demons are killing each other for the rights to claim him?

TypicalTimmy Not really, He makes deals with demons and the demons think he will succumb to X pleasure, temptation, greed, etc. But when he doesn't since he's practiced at this, the demons need to serve him until he becomes corrupted. Sanderson's demons are also a lot more three dimensional and fleshed out than normal MtG demons.

The Price to Pay

Sorcery

Starting with the player to your left, each player may draw up to three cards. Then, each player who draws one or more cards loses life equal to the three times the total number of cards drawn in this way.


Let's assume the player immediately to your left draws 3 cards. Great.

Rotating toward the left as is standard for a multiplayer game, the next player says f it they'll also draw 3 cards.

The next player, the one to your right, draws 3 because why not it's free cards.

You opt to draw nothing.

9 cards drawn in total, so now each of your three opponents lost 27 life.

Next time you cast the spell, the player to your left draws nothing.

Next player needs lands and draws 3.

Next player sees that 3 cards were drawn and draws nothing.

You grin and draw 3. Six cards drawn, you and the other player each lose 18 life, which is enough to take them out of the game and leaves you with a healthy life total because you managed your resources well.


You know, Tsukimi, looking at his artwork I wonder if he's from Duskmourn and made a deal to get out before the plane was taken over
