Obligatory shitty card creation thread

[johanessen]

Why not something like this:

Zombie Lackey
Creature - Zombie Minion
Whenever Zombie Lackey deals damage to a player, you may put a Zombie card from your graveyard into play.
1/1

Has synergy with Entomb, Zombie Infestation and the likes while fitting into the recurring Zombies theme.

I like it! I really want this zombie to come out.

[SilverGreen]

Delerium Skeins is 2B for each player discarding 3. I think to be more appropriately costed, it'd have to be BB or 1B. It'd still allow for Swamp, Dark Ritual, Mutual-Discard, Lackey.

I know about Skeins, and its cost seems pretty well balanced to me. It's elegant and fair and the like, it looks like a good card and should be, but it never saw play anywhere, not even in Ravnica Block. It's that type of card that should cost 1/2 mana less to work properly. At 3 it's meh, at 2,5 it would be fine, at 2 it would be retarded. A version discarding two for two seems to be the most reasonable one, but I guess it would be barely playable, if not mediocre. A tough question...

A funny thing is, there are some people in my area that think they're oh so clever to build their own tribal decks. It's literally "all the lords" and some big cheap creatures of the same tribe.

That's the problem with general tribal strategies, and that's why does not exist a good Zombie or Soldier tribal deck yet (albeit the last one seems close to reach the critical mass necessary for the task now). Tribal decks are all about internal sinergies, they're not just a pile of creatures of a given type. It just happens they're about to print a decent equivalent (not necessarily analogue) to Lackey, Reejerey and Heritage Druid yet, to go into other tribes' strategies.

While we're talking about zombies, another idea:

Rotting Knight
Creature - Zombie Knight
Deathtouch, protection from green
2/2

It's basically the pro green version of Black Knight, expect with the more fitting "in-color" Deathtouch (if it touches you, you rot, too) instead of first strike. It trades with most creatures in the format and eats Goyfs for breakfast while not having a ridiculous P/T-cost ratio.

The only problem the card would have is that it stalls green fatties while green has not many solutions to it (poor Timmies).

[Whit3 Ghost]

I'd like them to errata Deed to hit Planeswalkers.

[dahcmai]

This would sure make some interesting cards playable all of a sudden.

Revenge of the Wombat
1G
Enchantment

Shroud
If an Aura would be countered, draw a card.
Creatures with an aura on them gain +2/+2

No it wouldn't.







In seriousness, I'd like them to print more card draw/manipulation/management outside of blue, especially at the cheap/cantrip level.

Something like...

Like this?

Exploring Trip
Sorcery
Draw a card.
You may put a land card from your hand into play.

Too bad it would be most likely broken as fuck, considering it isn't virtual card disadvantage like Exploration and could do stupid things if chained.

[Glorfindel]

Wow, 10 pages and the only good card is the Zombie Lackey.

How about for Vintage:

That one would go in ANY EDH deck of mine ...

[hi-val]

My Fireblast Is In Here Somewhere
2RR
Sorcery

Discard your hand. Remove your graveyard from the game. Divide your deck into two piles without looking at the cards. Target opponent selects one pile. Put that pile in your hand and exile the other pile.


Basically, you draw half your deck, but you lose the next time you would draw a card. I don't know how practical or fair it would be, but it's got that Final Fortune theme to it. Losing half of your deck means that you'd have to play several copies of a kill card to actually bank on finding it.

[TOGITwill]

Slighfle - 1G
Creature - Fox
Flash
Split-Second
When Slighfle comes into play, counter target activated or triggered ability. Triggered abilities don't trigger when you play Slighfle.
"Slighfle, no slighfing!"
2/1

That second bit of his ability is for standstill.

Oh my that's like ad nasuem, only you get more cards, don't need to pay life, and it costs less mana. Seriously you play this then just drop a bunch of lotus petals/chrome mox/mox diamond/rituals then cast tendrils or Burning wish for tendrils. It's essentailly a one card combo that wouldn't be too hard to do on turn 1.

[hi-val]

I was thinking about how to correctly cost it so that you'd actually be able to play the cards you just drew but not so cheap that it would be broken. I'd ideally want it to be a card where you're looking for that last Terminate so you can attack for the win, but you need it now and want to take the risk. I think the concept provides a lot of cool drama for the game, but I am not executing it to its best extent.

[quicksilver]

Perhaps then don't let them keep all the cards? Maybe jsut let them keep one or two.

[SilverGreen]

Exploring Trip

Haha! I have this card in a fan set of mine, with the diference the land enters the battlefield tapped. I don't know how they didn't print this yet.

Give it to me
Sorcery
Your opponent searches your library for any sorcery card and put it into your hand. Shuffle your library after.

or

Last Lottery
Sorcery
Shuffle your library, then exile the top card of it. Repeat this 3 times. Then put all cards exiled this way into your hand. At the beginning of end step, you lose the game.

Woah, woah. You're totally forgetting the Bushwhacker/Kobolds strategy.

Mightn't you want it


Your opponent searches your library for any sorcery card other than ~ and puts it into your hand. Shuffle your library after.

Because the way you have it now basically reads Get another copy of ~.

[Humphrey]

Thought about that, but its only so u need to recast it. Might be too strong to get your (only other?) sorcery directly. And u get more storm
