Fanatical Rage - 1RR
Enchantment - Rare
Whenever enchanted creature attacks, it deals damage equal to Its power to its controller.
Sudden Disloyalty - 3RR
Instant - Rare
Target creature spell enters the battlefield under your control. You lose life equal to its power.
Im iffy about this one as i fear it might not quite work correctly by the games rules

I'd personally say that we need some Ertai's Meddling type cards, ones that can make a Commander vanish for a couple turns before returning.

Sudden disloyalty:
Choose one:
Exile target creature, then have it enter the battlefield under your control.
Choose target card in a command zone, and put that card into play under your control.
Is this what you might be shooting for with this one?

*Then return it to the battlefield under your control, for that first ability.

ThatJunkMage how would that interact with Conspiracies, seeing as they're only ever in the Command Zone anyways.

Looks like you just stole your friend's conspiracy card. I guess it'd still have the effects that your friend drafted it with? I'm very unfamiliar with the conspiracy cards, though, so it might swap over to your choices.

The first one is incredibly evil towards commander damage (looking at you Prossh), so I would probably make it one more mana.
The second one is... interesting. I would definitely play it (if I played EDH that is).

FAMOUSWATERMELON Commander damage doesn't apply to non-combat damage.
Otherwise Heartless Hidetsugu would be broken beyond all belief.

Ohthenoises Oh I know that. I wasn't referring to dealing combat damage, but rather to a case where a buffed-up Prossh was trying to deal 21 damage in one turn (very doable, I think). This would automatically win you the game if your opponent has less than 19 left, as it triggers when attacking. And it's not a one-of-a-time thing.

Fair enough, just wanted to point that out. Misunderstood ya.

I originally felt like the tuck rule wasn't that bad, but now that I played monored EDH a bit more...it does kind of ruin a lot of Chaos Warp for them. I mean Chaos Warp can still take out threats, but its worrying because sometimes the major threat is just the commander...so I'd agree that more red control on commanders would be nice. Maybe fool around with concepts like Act of Treason? Blue is about permanent control, red about temporary smacks to the face. Maybe you have a spell that is temporary take over but if you pay an additional cost you can instead take that creature permanently?

So is sudden disloyalty supposed to work like a Desertion or a Gather Specimens?

Yeah something like that except with a damage draw Back considering we're doing it in red. Seems to fit since you would be controlling them through anger which would cause them to lash out at you first before going after the opponent

In that case, I'd use the wording on Gather Specimens + "when a creature enters the battlefield this way, it deals damage equal to its power to you."
But that'll be funny with Whip of Erebos xD

:T that is unfortunate but helpful to know. Maybe I'll tool it around with that in mind.

No it's such a exception case that it doesn't mean the card needs to change! Literally do Gather Specimens and that text, and you could bring it down to 4 mana imo.

pretty cool idea, sudden disloyalty would be very good.

You would need to change the wording on Sudden Disloyalty. It'd be easiest to just gain control of the creature spell and have a clause that sets up a deleayed triggered ability to deal damage on ETB (life loss isn't red).
