How should I go about rewording it? "Draw cards equal to the number of creatures destroyed by Fire the Cannons?"
March 9, 2014 7:06 p.m.
It should read "fire the cannons deals 6 damage divided as you choose among any number of creatures. Then draw cards equal to the number of creatures destroyed this way".
March 9, 2014 7:25 p.m.
Negation Zone
Land
3UU+tap: counter target spell. Return negation zone to its owner's hand.

Name: Lone Warrior
Cost: 2GG
Card Type - Subtype: creature- human warrior
Card Text:
At the beginning of your upkeep, sacrifice a creature other than Lone Warrion
X, T: if you control no other creatures, search your library for a creature with converted mana cost X or less, and put it onto the battlefield, then put a lonely counter on Lone Warrior.
2GG: Lone Warrior gets +X/+X until the end of the turn, where X is the number of lonely counters on Lonely Warrior.
Flavor Text: They come to my aid because they feel sorry for me, only to die. Why do they insist on trying to help me?

I think that lonely warrior should be black/green. Sacrificing is primarily a black thing.
March 9, 2014 10:07 p.m.
Triforce-Finder says... #7
Not to mention that the flavor is as black as it could be. Don't know if that Creature's flavor is more creepy or depressing. Either quality alone would justify black, and it has both.

bantam1234, add Vigilance to Lone Warrior. It doesn't fit the colors quite well, but it does seem necessary
If not, it should be a PT
March 11, 2014 9:30 p.m.
3 / 4 P/T, stupid fractions disappear on tappedout for some reason, haha
March 11, 2014 9:30 p.m.
Bloodsplatter1BRInstantDeal 6 damage to target creature. Until end of turn, creatures with power 2 or less cannot attack.
You know how you tell the real heros from the cowards? By seeing who runs away first when the slaughter begins-Boros legionarre to recruit.

CastleSiege says... #12
I'm not sure if I worded this card's text properly (that seems to be the hardest part when it comes to creating cards lol). Can anyone help me out by letting me know if it needs to be reworded?
March 12, 2014 9:29 p.m.
Bromjunaar says... #13
@CastleSiege, It would probably go something like:
Consuming Vortex XUU
Sorcery (not much need for it to be an enchant) Rare
Suspend X (this takes up a pretty good portion of your text)
When ~ is suspended, exile target creature. When the last time counter is removed, return the exiled creature to the battle field under it's owner's control.
Shuffle ~ into its owner's library.
March 12, 2014 10:05 p.m.
CastleSiege says... #14
I tried making it work with the suspend ability but it just would not work. There were too many conflicting rulings. However, I think I have made it work in a different way while making it better at the same time (realized it was crappy before). Basically the card says, "Keep tapping your mana or else your permanent belongs to me! :3"
March 12, 2014 11:42 p.m.
CastleSiege says... #15
So I made adjustments to Consuming Vortex again. The mana cost is now 2UU since before there really wasn't any reason to pay more than 1 for X. The exiled permanent now also gets 2 time counters by default.
March 13, 2014 12:26 a.m.
SnowCoveredRevenge says... #16
Tears of the Phoenix
Artifact
Tap Sacrifice Tears of the Phoenix: Deal three damage to target creature or player. If a player or creature has been dealt 9 or more damage by noncombat nonartifact sources this turn, return Tears of the Phoenix to it's owners hand.
March 13, 2014 10:01 p.m.
stonescarred Rukh 3RRflying, hexproof4/4
what you guys think? got the inspiration from the Rukh Egg flavor text
March 13, 2014 10:23 p.m.
Red doesn't really have access to hexproof, and it doesn't fit the flavor of the card anyway. It should have haste instead.
March 14, 2014 7:36 a.m.
Also, CastleSiege, consuming vortex should probably read as follows
Consuming Vortex
Sorcery
0
Consuming vortex is blue
Suspend X--XUU
When consuming vortex is suspended, exile target permanent with X time counters. If it doesn't have suspend, it gains suspend. When the last time counter is removed, return that permanent to the battlefield under your control.
2: add a time counter to consuming vortex and permanent suspended with it. Use this ability only if consuming vortex is suspended. Only an opponent may use this ability.
March 14, 2014 7:46 a.m.
you see matbyrne it says Rukhs sac their flames for body of stones maybe this new body should have a different ability than the regular one and clearly Rukh havent been made as creature type, i know red doesnt have hexproof yet, but that had happened to double strike too, it 1st came out as a red ability, after some time it was moved to white since G ir friend of R i dont see why cant it be a hexproof in Red at least on one creature, which is not a very common creature type thou

Treskus, the Burdened King
4GBU
Creature, human wizard
sacrifice one other creature: prevent all combat damage that would be done this turn
sacrifice two other creatures: counter target spell
War destroys everything it touches. If you're lucky, the damage will only be physical.
2/5
March 14, 2014 9:15 a.m.
CastleSiege says... #22
matbyrne, there's a few problems with the text you suggested.
I don't think you can target a card with a card that is already suspended.
It doesn't say when you may remove a time counter.
It doesn't say what happens to Consuming Vortex when all of its counters are removed.
There's isn't enough room on the card for all of that. :(
March 14, 2014 4:02 p.m.
CastleSiege Fury Charm last option allows you to target a suspended card, but all other thing you said are true :)
March 14, 2014 5:30 p.m.
The fact that you can't enchant an exiled card is the biggest issue with Consuming Vortex being an Enchantment.
March 14, 2014 6:22 p.m.
CastleSiege says... #25
you enchant it first, then they both become exiled together
March 14, 2014 8:50 p.m.
nope, it just falls off once the thing it is enchanting leaves play... show me a card that does otherwise.
March 16, 2014 4:28 p.m.
lookoutimscary says... #27
CastleSiege: It would be worded: Exile target permanent, it gains suspend X. At the beginning of each player's upkeep he or she may pay 2 to remove one time counter from the exiled card.
March 19, 2014 7:49 a.m.
the5ervant: you officially broke undying, dredge, and persist in EDH.
March 19, 2014 10:58 a.m.
the5ervant says... #29
matbyrne- would it make it less broken (i.e. more likely to be playable) if the colors changed to WUG from BUG and it was "exile creature you control" instead of "sacrifice"?
March 19, 2014 11:26 a.m.
I think that it fits better as BUG. And exile would just make it useless. I'd say make the fog ability cost two creatures and the counterspell cost three. That would still make it useful, but would make it harder to pull off with just a single undying/dredge/persist creature, thereby forcing the deck to be more heavily committed to the idea.
March 19, 2014 3:24 p.m.
hassankachal says... #31
the5ervant I agree with matbyrne. It's broken with only one exile for the fog, so make it two, and for the counter make it "exile 1 creature and pay BUG, counter target spell.
March 19, 2014 3:27 p.m.
hassankachal says... #32
@Dreno33 This has gone from "post your own card idea's for fun:) to post broken cards and have everybody debate whether you have no knowledge in the brokenness of cards. My opinion, and I find it quite amusing.
March 19, 2014 3:30 p.m.
hassankachal: i don't think the exiling of the creatures is necessary. On top of it being out of color, exiling also means that there is really no way to make an advantage out of it. Sacrificing is more than good enough provided enough fodder is required for the sacrifices. This is a card that screams "turn reanimator decks into control decks" and it would make BUG viable in EDH. Besides, without access to white, I don't think a green token deck can provide enough fuel for the continuous sacrifices once the costs are raised.

Urman of the Crucifix
2WW
Legendary Creature - Human Knight
Whenever Urman of the Crucifix enters the battlefield, exile target creature an opponent controls. It enters the battlefield under that player's control when Urman leaves the battlefield.
Whenever Urman of the Crucifix deals combat damage, you may put a +1/+1 counter on target creature you control.
Flavor Text: "I trust in the word, and if I must, I shall die by the crucifix."

Thebigshaggy says... #36
JimothyCrikkett, Magic has had a long battle with real-world religious icons and worship.
They had to change some cards' art, such as the first printings of Unholy Strength including a pentagram. Other cards, like the card Preacher , also mimic real life religious imagery and received some attention from scornful eyes.
Using the word "Crucifix" and "Word (In this sense)" seems like a bad idea. You could instead make up another religious symbol of your own instead of alluding to Christianity, sort of like the Avacyn icon that emblazons the shields and sword-hilts of the Innistrad soldiers.

Mantle of the Nemesis 2BB
Enchantment-Aura
Enchant Creature
When Mantle of the Nemesis enters the battlefield name a creature or planeswalker,
Enchanted creature gets +2/+2 and has Protection from the Named Creature or Planeswalker

leave time alone

instant
if a player took more than 1 turn this game, that player loses the game
if a player skipped their turn due to an opponents spell, they win the game
if none of the above happened, the game ends in a draw
March 22, 2014 8:51 p.m.
hassankachal - never thought I would see this thread 30 pages later. haha, crazy. Fun to check up on every now and then. You seem some really interesting and cool ideas here sometimes. and yes, the debates can be amusing. Got to love the magic community!
March 22, 2014 9:28 p.m.
Thebigshaggy I like your changeling assassin card! its overpowered currently, but has great potential!
Try this:
Name: Changeling Assassin (think of a cooler name! haha)
Cost: 1 (B/U)(B/U)(B/U) = CMC of 4 with 3 hybrid black/blue mana symbols
Card Type: Creature - Rogue Assassin
Card Text:
Changeling
As long as it is your turn Changeling Assassin gets +3/+0 and gains first strike and fear.
As long as it is not your turn Changeling Assassin gets +0/+2 and gains shroud.
P/T: 0/3
This balances the card a bit more I feel and fits the theme a bit more. Notice the card text change, mana cost change, and the creature type change.
March 22, 2014 9:43 p.m.
Thebigshaggy says... #41
Well all Changeling cards are shapeshifters, creature-wise. But yeah, it was overpowered. Thanks.
March 22, 2014 11:55 p.m.
The creature typeline should read Creature - Shapeshifter (Rogue/Assassin)
March 23, 2014 11:12 a.m.

Creature - Elemental Rigger
Deathtouch
Tap: Deal 1 damage to any number of target creatures.
At the beginning of each combat step assemble X contraptions, take X damage, discard X cards where X is the number of creatures that died this turn. Contraptions gain haste until end of turn.
Power / Toughness: 0/1
March 23, 2014 1:20 p.m.
What on earth does it mean to assemble contraptions? Do you mean tokens?
March 23, 2014 4:53 p.m.
Mimic Elemental
1RRUU
enchantment creature- shapeshifter elemental
Mimic Elemental comes into play as a copy of target creature in the battlefield except it has:

Toughness below zero always causes a creature to die, it's a safeguard to indestructibility. I would suggest it being a 2/2 and being indestructible, along with lifelink.

Emrakul-the-Format-Broken says... #50
h20, leave time alone is really too overpowered just for "If none of the above happened, the game ends in a draw." The fact that you can end the game at any time in a draw is terrible. Your opponent swings for game, and in response, you play leave time alone. Nobody wins. Ever. The only outcomes pretty much ever are that either you will win, or your opponent will almost win, but- oops, it's a tie! "Good" game!
raithe000 says... #1
@CastleSiege I don't think that works like you think it does. Fire the Cannons will only count creatures destroyed before it resolves, not any it deals damage to, as those won't die until after it resolves. You probably want to set up a delayed triggered ability to draw a card whenever a creature dies this turn, sort of like an inverse of Beck / Call
