Obligatory shitty card creation thread

[FourDogsinaHorseSuit]

Random idea for a black spell.

Slipping Sanity
2B

Target player puts a card from their hand on top of their library.

Surveil 2.

Draw 1.

~ costs 1 less for each card named ~ in your graveyard.


EDIT: Unless I am mistaken, there is no "Target player discards a card, then draws a card" in all of Magic's history. I tried a number of different searches, but I couldn't find one. If I missed it, please let me know. Thanks.

A card? Maybe, but there's collective defiance for targeted discard + draw
There's plenty of targeted draw then discard, especially in blue.
Honorable mention to Dimir Guildmage and a ton of mana

[Whoshim]

Yeah, Dimir Guildmage can do it, but it is interesting that that seems to be about it. The discard --> draw effect is on a few cards, ranging from Wheel of Fortune to Insolent Neonate, but I found it surprising that none of them target.

Black has Sign in Blood, which can be used to target the opponent. I found it interesting that there was nothing like Neonate but with targeting.

Vendilion clique is pretty close. Windfall, wheel of fortune and others like them too.

Old news, but quite interesting ideas:

Wow, they're as bad at this as we are

Those are pretty fun. Some seem pretty strong, but others don't really match up with things we have today:

[Barook]

Coatl is pretty similiar to what Tropical Wizard is, except a worse a creature type, one less power, but it gained flash and somewhat unconditional deathtouch.

I want the 2/2 that gives protection from a color :) (Yes i'm a D&T player).

[Cire]

Mage Hunter, Bob The Dog, Hind Sight are all really interesting though.

Does Forget count?

[Cire]

Does anyone links to the other invitationalist card submissions?

[Wrath of Pie]

Palace Sage is hilarious in hindsight.

I know of these two:

Enchantment - Aura
Enchant Planeswalker
Enchanted Planeswalker loses all abilities and gain "[+1]: Scry 1"

[FourDogsinaHorseSuit]

Realize
Instant
Resolve target spell or ability.
Then if Realize targeted a spell or ability you don't control, dress a card.

[Whoshim]

rufus, thanks for reminding me of Forget. I wonder how I missed it in my searches.

Enchantment - Aura
Enchant Planeswalker
Enchanted Planeswalker loses all abilities and gain "[+1]: Scry 1"

I think this would be fine at 1. The opponent already got a use out of their planeswalker, and this still gives the walker a good ability. I really dislike planeswalkers, so any card that helps hose them is good in my book.

I think that is too strong for combo decks. It is a UR Veil of Summer, though you need to choose whether to use it as a cantrip or as a way to make something uncounterable. I think that there is a strong chance that combo decks would stop splashing G for Veil and just run this, or run both.

I like the idea behind the card. I feel like there could be some really fun shenanigans to be had by 'reordering' the stack in ways that don't involve counterspells, but I think this would end up being more like a modal Elemental Blast/Cantrip hybrid.

I think you're over estimating a combo's desire for a dispel that they can cycle of your opponent is still casting spells.
Unlike veil which is a silence that can also turn off discard spell that always cantrips if you use it as a dispel.

I like Frank Karsten Mulligan tech actually and could be interesting:

BB
Sorcery R
Target opponent reveals their hand. You choose a nonland card from it. That player discards that card. Then for each mulligan you took this game, that opponent discards an additional card.

UU
Sorcery
Scry 1, then draw a card. Then for each mulligan you took this game, draw an additional card.

WW
Sorcery
Gain 5 life. Then for each mulligan you took this game, gain an additional 3 Life.

GG
Sorcery
Put 2 1/1 green saporling token onto the battlefield. Then for each mulligan you took this game, put an additional 2 1/1 green saporling token onto the battlefield.

RR
Sorcery
Deal 3 damage to any target. Then for each mulligan you took this game, deal an additional 2 damage to that target.

Enchantment - Aura
Enchant Planeswalker
Enchanted Planeswalker loses all abilities and gain "[+1]: Scry 1"

Alternate idea

Enchantment - Aura
Enchant Planeswalker
Enchanted Planeswalker loses all abilities and is a creature with base power and toughness equal to the number of loyalty counters on it

[Whoshim]

WW
Sorcery
Gain 5 life. Then for each mulligan you took this game, gain an additional 3 Life.

I think the other cards are interesting and seem at a good power level. However, this seems pretty weak. Compare Rest for the Weary and Life Goes On.

Alternate idea

Enchantment - Aura
Enchant Planeswalker
Enchanted Planeswalker loses all abilities and is a creature with base power and toughness equal to the number of loyalty counters on it

This one is more fun, but you could drop it on your own Oko for a 6/6 or 5/5 (quasi-hasty) beat stick.
