Didrik, Goblin Librarian :r::r:
Legendary creature - Goblin.
When an opponent shuffles his or her library, that opponent may destroy target creature or artifact.
1/2
Don't climb the bookshelves, Didric.
- Last words of a tolarian apprentice.
Fun general for EDH :)
I love that card, mainly because it evokes the idea that shuffling one's library is actually knocking over shelves and scattering books everywhere. I think the partner card would have to beQuote:

If an opponent would shuffle his or her library, instead look at that player's library and put the cards back in any order. Then sacrifice Goblin Library Clerk.
One more time and I quit
0/3
Goblin Library Clerk clearly needs to be a 0/1 for :r:. :laugh:
Break Face :r::r::r::r::r::r::r:
Sorcery (MR)
Break Face deals damage to target player equal to their life total minus 1.
Glimpse of Phyrexia :b:
Sorcery.
Split Second.
Target player reveals his or hand. You choose an instant or sorcery from it. That player discards that card.

When ~ comes into play, search your library for another mongoose card and put it into your hand.
When an opponent plays a blue instant spell, you may put ~ from your hand onto the battlefield.
Oddly enough, no one stopped playing blue.
2/2
For added muscle, change all instances of "mongoose" to "Kavu."

Almost, but you made a rookie mistake. All of those cards need alternate casting costs that in no way interfere with your ability to brainstorm.Quote:

So, looking back at the early days of the thread, there are some shocking correlations to real cards printed much later. This was posted in 2009, about a year before Scars.

Choose one - Exile target creature. Its controller gains life equal to its power; or exile target planeswalker. Its controller gains life equal to its loyality.
Got bored at the LGS yesterday and decided to work on a pox card that could possibly replace Hymn to Tourarch or Smallpox.
Grave Spit - (B)
Sorcery
Target player discards a card at random.
Buyback - Discard a card.
Malevolence - BB(W/G)
Instant
Choose a permanent; that player sacrifices it. Lose 2 life.
-------
Demon of something something... - 1BB
5/5, Trample.
When NPN deals damage to an opponent or a planeswalker they control, discard a card.
At the beginning of your upkeep, lose 2 life.
--------------
Disciple of Mephistopheles - BB
2/1
Flash. When DoM enters the battlefield, lose 2 life.
(Insert Chains of Mephistopheles text here) (I also think this may have been mentioned before)
----------------
Spelljack Mage - RR
1/1. Flash
When Spelljack Mage enters the battlefield, copy target spell you do not control with converted mana cost 3 or less. You choose new targets for that copy.
--------------
I just miss black's "greatness at any cost" colour scheme. Why should blue have the best creatures? Why can't I turn life into resources?
Straight rip from me. This was my invitational card from a few years ago. Notion Thief came close ... but ... blue.Quote:

Triniskelion - 3
Creature - Golem
As long as Triniskelion is untapped, each spell that would cost less than the number of counters on ~ to play costs that amount to play.
Triniskelion enters the battlefield with three +1/+1 counters on it.
Remove a +1/+1 counter from Triniskelion: Triniskelion deals 1 damage to target creature or player.
0/0
Forgetful Peasant :r: (Uncommon)
Creature - Human
Put a card from your hand on top of your library: Put a memory counter on Forgetful Peasant.
Remove a memory counter from Forgetful Peasant: Draw a card.
1/1
The casual, flavor-loving nerd inside me prefers a single ability with just the first cost and the second effect, but the Johnny inside me would rather cast this one in tournaments.
Complete discard protection AND being Brainstorm-level of stupid with shuffle effects? For 1 mana?Quote:

My Invitational Card, since I'm a Junky guy, would be:
Junk Master - 1BGW
Protection from Blue, Protection from White
When Junk Master comes into play, Thoughtseize your opponent (lose 2 life and all) and target player exiles a creature. They gain life equal to that creature's power.
3/5
----------------
But realistically, I want to see things not easily splashable by current blue based decks that are viable strategies on their own.
Example:
Eliminate Thought - B
Opponent reveals their hand. Choose a nonland card from that player's hand and they discard that card. Lose 2 life. You gain an emblem that says "During your upkeep, lose 1 life for every Island you control."
Fateseal 1.
-Matt
MY Invitational card would be something like this:
Powerbind Daeva :b::b:
Creature - Demon
Flying
At the beginning of each other player's end step, you lose life equal to Powerbind Daeva's power.
At the beginning of your end step, gain 2 life.
4/4
