Custom Commanders
Custom Cards forum
Posted on July 22, 2018, 11:10 a.m. by Korath37
Hello!
Making some Custom commanders here!
Rules:
You make a commander, then you make lore for it, then you work with other people to make other commanders that work with or against yours, and other people suggest types of commanders to make, I hope it makes sense
Got it? if not, please read again
Make a Ooze commander
Killik Rex, Hydra King
Legendary Creature - Hydra
Bloodthirst X
Trample
When ~ enters play, it enters with X +1/+1 counters on it.
Whenever a creature your control deals combat damage to a player, put a +1/+1 counter on it.
Lore: In the Savage land of Jund, dragons only fear a single Hydra, a beast of fierce proportions. Some dragons and vampires found themselves instead working for the best, following it in it's path of destruction.
Make a tri-color demon commander.
July 22, 2018 4:03 p.m.
Jecks, the Dealbreaker
Legendary Creature - Demon
1/7
As long as you're the player with the fewest cards in hand, ~ costs less to cast.
Flying, skulk
Creatures you control with flying, fear, intimidate, horsemanship, skulk, shadow, or a landwalk ability get +2/+2.
Whenever one or more creatures you control with flying, fear, intimidate, horsemanship, skulk, shadow, or a landwalk ability deals combat damage to a player, target creature you control gains protection from creatures.
Jecks is your standard local demon, striking deals with mortals for fun and favors. However, this demon has become known for being a bit more lax with his side of the bargain if his petitioner's request is for longer-term ends, rather than immediate satisfaction. Because of this, the people that come to him have begun to take advantage of his softer contracts, and to get his share, he's had to resort to... less acceptable business practices. While he's contractually barred from actually breaking his deals, he can use his completed transactions to... help fate along, and bring more fools into his employ.
Next challenge, make a non-Eldrazi commander that utilizes and expands upon the "Processor" mechanic from BfZ block.
July 22, 2018 4:56 p.m.

None have succeeded, and the would be rescuers become the next meal. The attempts are meaningless, however, as their bodies are slowly being dissolved and digested and would fall apart if removed from the web.
