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.
Tolaria, Teferi's School
Legendary Land
General's Home - Teferi, Mage of Zhalfir or Teferi, Temporal Archmage (Partner. When this card enters the battlefield, pay for each time this land has been played by you past or sacrifice it.)
: Add to your mana pool. The next spell you play has Flash.
Whenever a permanent you control enters the battlefield, each player may Scry 1. For each player that does so, choose one (the same choice may be made multiple times):
- Tap or Untap target permanent.
- Exile target permanent, the return it to the battlefield under its owner's control at the end of the turn.
Another!

MOAR!
March 12, 2017 9:25 p.m.
Praetor's Footstool
Legendary Land
General's Home - Atraxa, Praetors' Voice
~ enters the battlefield tapped.
: Add , , , or to your mana pool.
: Put a +1/+1 counter on target creature.
: Put a loyalty counter on target planeswalker.

Anotha one

Stronghold
Legendary Land
General's Home - Volrath the Fallen
: Add to your mana pool. You may only spend that mana to cast creatures.

Keep it going!

The Nexus of Possibilities.
Legendary land
General home- Any creature with three or more colors
You may play any creature with three or more colors as your commander if ~ is your commander. That creature becomes legendary
Add one mana of your commanders color identity
The Multiverse is full of infinite possibilities-
Make one for a bad commander that makes it better.

Breya's Etherium Lab
Legendary Lab
General's Home- Breya, Etherium Shaper
ETBs tapped.
T: Add R, W, U, or B
Whenever you cast an artifact spell, you may pay . If you do, create a 1/1 blue thopter w/ flying
, : Create a 1/1 blue thopter w/ flying

Aww, sniped. I'll do Joecool's
General's Home- Chandler
Legendary Land
T: Add R.
, T: Target creature becomes an artifact until end of turn.
Another one for a bad commander like this, use the unplayable commander list - here
March 12, 2017 10:07 p.m.
Hidden Fortress
Legendary Land
General's Home: Iizuka the Ruthless
: Add or or to your manapool.
Whenever a Samurai you control would take damage, prevent 1 of that damage.
, Sacrifice Hidden Fortress: Search your graveyard for Samurai, and return them to your hand, then discard that many cards.
His problem is being Red when most Samurai are White (with a couple in Black), so this land fixes the color identity of the archetype, while synergizing with his ability.
Let's do another!
March 12, 2017 10:58 p.m.

Boreal Kamigawa
Legendary Spirit Land (This land is considered a Spirit in addition to its other types.)
General's Home: Kodama of the Center Tree
Enters the battlefield tapped.
: add to your mana pool. if you control 2 or more spirits, add an additional to your mana pool.
,, Sacrifice ~: The next time that a Spirit would be returned to your hand from a Soulshift effect, return it to the battlefield instead
This creates some synergy by creating some ramp and allowing the Soulshift to actually be useful once. It also is considered a Spirit Land to create some tribal synergy.
One more!
March 13, 2017 11:07 p.m.
Lair of the Robaran
Legendary Land
General's Home: Hunding Gjornersen or Jedit Ojanen
Lair of the Robaran enters the Battlefield tapped.
: Add to your mana pool.: Target creature must be assigned to block target attacking creature you control if able. If your creature is White, it gains First Strike until the end of the turn. If your creature is Blue, all creatures that block it get -1/-0 until the end of the turn.
This idea synergizes more with Hunding than Jedit, but the concept is still there.
Let's expand the challenge. Let's make an Artifact that acts as a co-commander (Equipment optional). Same idea as the 'General's Home', but not a land.

Am I allowed to toot my own horn since we're doing my own series?
No? Think I just did.
The keep's secret throne
Legendary land
General's home- Rohgahh of Kher Keep
Players skip their upkeep step
:Deal one damage to target creature you control. That creature name becomes Kobolds of Kher Keep.
: Deal one damage to each creature you control. Those creatures names become Kobolds of Kher Keep.
The king was happy to let others into his group, provided they passed initiation
I think this makes him remotely playable. Maybe.
Whatever you want!

Spellbook of legends
Legendary artifact- Equipment

Equip:4
Sometime to solve the problem, you must admit the impossible. There are others smarter then you.

zephramtripp says... #41
Life Perseverance
Enchantment
At the beginning of your end step, if you have 30 or less cards in your library, create a 2/2 white Knight token with first strike and vigilance and you gain 2 life.
I think this is less achievable in constructed. It's probably fine in draft.
Make a card that you would play over Gideon, Ally of Zendikar in Standard, by playing on synergies that exist in the current sets that Gideon doesn't have.
March 21, 2017 12:29 p.m.

March 22, 2017 9:32 a.m.
zephramtripp says... #43
Any other card. Probably a four-mana planeswalker or creature would make the most sense, but it's up to you.

Whenever another player or a creature or planeswalker you do not control would take damage, they take that much damage plus two instead.
Whenever you would take damage from a source you do not control, it deals half that damage (rounded up) instead.

March 22, 2017 3:14 p.m.
MindAblaze says... #47
