Obligatory shitty card creation thread

I doubt this is an original idea, but regardless:

Quote:

---

Force of Disrupting Foil - X :u::u:
Instant
You may pay X life and exile a blue card from your hand rather than pay CARDNAME's mana cost.
Counter target spell if its converted mana cost is X.

---

In keeping with "Force of Will is the carpet that we sweep all of Legacy's problem under", this is my attempt to chase after the "fixed" FoW in hopes of making legitimate Modern.
Here you keep the same color limitations, aspects of card disadvantage to punish the turn zero force, allow it to be as useful in stopping combo and other quick strategies (if they must maintain this arbitrary 4 turn limit), and have a natural curve of usefulness that declines once the game get mid to late so it's not game warping.

Thoughts?

Disrupting Shoal bases X on the pitched card's CMC, a crippling limitation. This uses the 1 life you'd use for Force as X.

Ah you're right I misread that one.

"WX - search your library for an equipment card and put it into play"

Land - Tap: add WW (this mana can only be used to cast enchantments)

RR - Creature
3/2 first strike, protection from white. All blue creatures get -1/-1.

Since it seems Brainstorm is now a problem because it's blue . . .

Wind Chimes - 1
Artifact
tap: Shuffle your library.
X: Draw X cards, then put X cards from your hand on top of your library.

I see two issues with this. First, Wizards has said that, by modern printing rules, Mana Leak is too powerful to see print. This would just blow that out of the water. The other issue is the impact it would have on Legacy where control decks could then have Force number 5 and 6 in their decks. I will say anyone running a full set of 8 Force cards either really hates having a hand or really hates combo.

Tempo players would wet their pants in Joy if that creature would see print. The Walker is just plain bad "I hate blue/red goodstuff"-design

Tempo players can adjust their plays to that creature. Try to beat that creature on the draw with 2 fetches in your hand or Fetch + Dual if your opponent holds stifle/wasteland

Thnks for the comments.

You may be right - but that is a very particular situation... Anyway when i thought about it's casting cost i made it white with stax in mind (even castable under chalice with cavern). Then i add green to make it zenitable (for maverick).

The walker... (and i don't have anything against blue cards) i thought it could be nice in some type of dragon stompy/ painter variant. With painter out it can also tax blue spells. Then added some utility. :smile:

True-Name Moggathon - 1RR

~ has protection from all players.

Whenever ~ would deal combat damage to a player, you may put a Goblin permanent card from your hand onto the battlefield instead.

"Because Goblins is supposed to beat Merfolks" - Anonymous red mage
1/1

NOTE: Unlike TNN, designed so it cannot be slid into random Tempo decks FTformatWarping, but still gives tribal the appropriate boost. It's also less abusable in EDH since you can't buff it.

Sylvan Verdict maybe needs to be one mana more expensive. I like the lands.

Yeah... maybe busted but very very nice. One more mana or make it cost: :w::g::g:

The lands could bring back some cool cards like spiritmonger, anurib b, Juzam Djinn, etc. The same concept could be used to other creatures like Demons, Dragons and Angels.

Mines of Moria - land
Tap "add 2 mana of any color to your mana pool. This mana can only be used to cast Dwarves and Goblins."


Definitely seeing it in a "Dwarves vs. Goblins" precon that brings some powerful dwarves so that the tribe is at least bit more playable:


Stoneforge Welder :1::r:
Creature - Dwarf Artificer

Tap, sacrifice an artifact with cmc X:
Search your library for an artifact card

Exactly. Printing conditional lands could boost some creature types and revive some old favorites.

The Stoneforge Welder is very nice.
Red should also have a GOOD dragon - thundermaw and stormbreath are cool but we need something faster:

Unless you are trying to make it as broken as possible, I think it would be more fitting if it transformed unless you reveal an instant or sorcery each turn.

I wish that these were in some old edition (preferably Homelands, but of course, Weatherlight is much more appropriate - just move Winding Canyon to Visions):

If Weatherlight would be too soon to complete the cycle, they should have finished it no later then Urza/MMQ block. Even now I'd love to see those lands, though the new frame (and the many fetches printed in the meantime since 1997) would kinda kill them.

So broken in Elves and 12Post that I love it

Beggar's Cardboard :0:

Typeless

Beggar's Cardboard may be cast or played at any time.

If this card would be revealed, or change zones and be revealed, its owner names a card that costs $20 USD or more. Beggar's Cardboard gains a boxwine counter named X where X is the number of times a card has gained a boxwine counter this game, and becomes that card until that boxwine counter is removed. That counter can't be removed from this card until the game is over and remains on the card in all zones. (This effect occurs prior to placing the spell on the stack if it's being cast or played, so the spell can't be cast or played if the named spell couldn't be cast or played. Naming a card which causes your deck to become illegal in the format it's being played in may cause a game loss.)

When the game is over, remove all boxwine counters from all cards in all zones.
