That sucks, oh well. So, for something new, a better Lotus Petal that however need basics to be played, making it much less abusable:
Lotus Seed :0:
Artifact
When you play a basic land from your hand, you may sacrifice Lotus Seed. If you do, add one mana of any color to your mana pool and scry 1.
You can find those beautiful flowers only in the wild, far from any civilization.
Chains of Purification
BB
enchantment
Cards can't be drawn by players except the first during his or her draw step.
Sacrifice Chains of Purification, pay 5 life: Destroy target artifact or enchantment.
Black will never touch artifacts or enchantments, doesn't matter how shitty a custom card is :mad:
ouch!Quote:

W, Sacrifice Chains of Purification: Destroy target artifact or enchantment. Each opponent gains 6 life.
Oblivion Knight :1::w::w:
Creature - Human Knight
When Oblivion Knight enters the battlefield, exile target nonland permanent an opponent controls until Oblivion Knight leaves the battlefield.
2/2
The lifegain is too arbitrary, and not needed!Quote:

Stats and flying aside, why pro green and red? Shouldn't it be pro blue and uncounterable? :eyebrow:
I like the keyword "Hostility against X" - the execution, not so much. How does your opponent know that you own blue cards in your hand/library? That seems problematic.
the same how morph works i guess. after the game you have to reval your library and sideboard, but if you have a better wording, post it.Quote:

I would use something like the Epic wording, e.g. Enduring Ideal.
Hostility against Blue (For the rest of the game, if you play a blue spell or control a blue permanent, you lose the game.)
Not that I exactly like that kind of mechanic, but that sounds far more workable and is permanent effect.
The protection part still makes no sense to me, though.
Edit: Is that a GSZable Brainstorm? :eyebrow:
Edit2: I also dislike that your opponent can gib you with a Painter, no matter the wording.
ok, maybe like this
http://i.imgur.com/OJQ8Mkc.png http://i.imgur.com/RtgRpaz.png
The power level of those is ... problematic. Plunge Into Darkness or Lim-Dul's Vault + Wave of Unicorns. And Gruul Sprites is even more abusive.
Hostility is a neat idea though. Something like "When ~ EtB you can't play Blue spells for the rest of the game" seems fine to me (and if someone makes that ugly for you with Painter's Servant or Magical Hack, that's just a risk you're taking.)
I want WotC to make something like this, to help DnT fix its draws.

(Sorry for the childish artwork choice, but that's literally the only image I had around on this machine since it's been recently wiped. Don't let Dr. Mario touch your genitals, he's not a real doctor.)
Golgari Oracle :bg:
Creature - Zombie Shaman
At the beginning of each upkeep, you may exile a nonblack, nongreen card in a graveyard. If you do, scry 1, put a +1/+1 counter on Golgari Oracle and lose 1 life.
0/1
The future can be found in the grave.
Cool concept, although I'd like it better if it operated with nonblue cards instead.Quote:

1/2
The nonblue part (it's a green card, after all, which hates blue) along with the :g: activation cost should prevent major abuse in blue decks. It's also a GSZ target.
Maybe?
Bone Shaman :b::g:
Creature - Skeleton Shaman
:bg:, exile target creature from a graveyard: choose one:
- scry 1
- regenerate
- +1/+1 until EOT
For him, seeing the future it's just a matter of asking his old friends
1/1
All three effects are both green and black, it's interesting to see those two colors overlap so much.
Also flavorful cantrips with upsides for other colors!
Arbitrate :w:
Sorcery
Your opponent may pay :1:
If he does, draw a card.
If he doesn't, draw 2 cards.
Explore the borders :g:
Sorcery
Reveal the top card of your library. If it's a land, put it on the battlefield tapped. If it isn't, draw a card.
Cardname :w:
Instant
If an effect you don't control would cause you to sacrifice one or more permanents, instead exile those permanents, then return them to the battlefield.
Draw a card.
"Did you mean: recursion" - Google
Chronocurse 2U

At the beginning of enchanted player's untap step, enchanted player chooses one that hasn't been chosen —
• Skip your draw step this turn.

• Skip each of your main phases this turn..
• End your turn.
If each choice has been chosen, sacrifice Chronocurse.
Gambit of Inevitability

At the beginning of the end step of the last of those turns, you win the game.

I'm currently thinking about a nonblue hand fixer that makes opening hands less crap. A rough draw:
Gives you land when your hand is mana-light, cantrips otherwise if you don't need it.Quote:
Hand Fixer :w:
Instant
You may exile this card from your opening hand. If you do, search your library for a basic Plains card, reveal it, and put it into your hand. Then shuffle your library.
Draw a card.
Isn't that basically an elaborate Secluded Steppe?Quote:

Library of memories
Land
When library of memories ETB, if you have no cards in hand, draw a card.

Cycling land for lategame essentially. Maybe too weak yeah. It's only slightly better than the colorless urza land cycler whose name escape me now.
Finally a good sol-land
Mishra's Karoo
Land - Karoo
As Mishra's Karoo ETB, return another land you control to your hand or sacrifice Mishra's Karoo.
T: add :2:
This would make artifact decks actually viable in legacy. Bouncing Glimmerposts and City of traitors, all the while giving you an higher than actual land count, essentially working as pseudo-card draw AND accelleration.
Hmm.. how about:Quote:

I would love to see some new Goblins, something like:
Tuktuk Hooligan
Creature - Goblin Rogue
RRR
When (...) comes into play, you may destroy target artifact or enchantment.
2/1
Goblin Witch
Creature - Goblin Rogue
2R
Whenever an opponent plays a spell with cmc 3 or less, that opponent looses 2 life.
2/3
Lord of the Mountain Halls
Creature - Goblin Lord
RR
Goblins you control get +1/+1 and Mountainwalk.
1/1
Kiki-Jiki, Shaman of Mirrors
Planeswalker - Goblin Shaman
+1: if target nonlegendary creature has no counters on it, you may put a +1/+2-counter on it.
- 2: copy target nonlegendary creature. If that creature becomes a target of a spell or ability, sacrifice it.
- 7: you get an emblem with 'each time you put an nonlegendary creature in play, put a copy of that creature in play. That creature has haste. Sacrifice it at the end of turn'.
Living the dream!
Cards that are Red only in colour can not destroy Enchantments.
Yeah, I know, it would be great though... Perhaps with a little green splash... It probably will never happen, but hey! Living the Dream! :smile:
Unless they are blue or white! And they can tuck enchantments in exchange for a random card.Quote:

Most of the cards in this thread are unprintable anyway...
And blue shouldn't have the most efficient 1-drop beater in the game either!Quote:

Library Regulations :w:
Enchantment
During an opponent's turn, players cannot draw cards, search libraries or put cards into their hands from their libraries.
The hallowed library of Feyerlos only admits one visitor at a time.
I like the Library posted above, but it needs to ability of turning into a 1/2 library worker until end of turn ;)
To be fair, Delver is a power-creeped Flying Men. I don't think Delver has been good for Legacy, but its off-colouredness is due to its power/efficiency and not the nature of its abilities and traits.Quote:

Strip Yours
Land
Counts as a mountain.
Tap to add one red mana to your mana pool or place Strip Yours in your graveyard and destroy any one island.
You suffer one damage whenever Strip Yours becomes tapped.
Nue Elemental Blast :r:
Interrupt
Counter target spell if it is white, or destroy target permanent if it is white.
Stinkhole :r::r:

Split second
Destroy any one island or plains.
Desert Blister :r::r:
Sorcery
Can't be countered.
Destroy any blue or white card in play.
Brainfart :r:
Instant
Draw three cards, remove two cards in your hand from the game.
Noise :r:
Instant
Your opponents can't cast blue spells this turn.
Draw a card.
I would really much like some 'power'-cards to be printed in non-Blue colors :smile: and if they had such names you just gave, I would laugh my ass off :laugh:Quote:

Anyway... on to it.
Ravage
RR
Sorcery
Destroy target nonbasic land.
Simple, strong, and elegant. And an ability that red gets the most of anyway, with the obvious homage to Sinkhole.
Yet Another Recall
U
Sorcery
Draw three cards, then reveal your hand to an opponent. That opponent exiles a card from your hand.
Yes, lands included on purpose.
Bring Back The Black Rituals
4B
Instant
Delve
Add BBB to your mana pool.
Delve slows it down a bit.
Undercurrent
Enchantment
R
Play only if you've dealt more than 3 damage this turn. For each card an opponent draws beyond the first card drawn in a turn, you may pay R. If you do, draw a card.
Idea: Tapping into blue's ocean of card advantage with the power of lightning/electricity. You need to bolt the opponent before you can cast this, so it's not as easily splashable and virtually costs RR, unless ofcourse.. Delver.
Art: An electrified undercurrent in the sea, similar to the original Ponder, Tangle Kelp, Magnetic Mountain and Mana Drain...
