Obligatory shitty card creation thread

[Barook]

Maybe just make it "an aura or equipment card" - more narrow but seems more flavorful?

That would be terribly narrow.

[Cire]

Just a card off the top of my head. . . .

Inequity of Genius XUB
Sorcery U
Choose one

• Each player with X or less cards in their hand, draws X cards.
• Each player with X or more cards in their hand, discards X cards.

I was thinking about engine cards outside of blue/black:

Something Vitae Something Oracle {1 w/g}
Kithkin druid

At the beginning of each end step, draw a card if you gained one or more life this turn.

1/1

It's a subtle gripe, but if you're going to create a card that is 'outside' a Blue deck, don't make it so bloody easy to cast :D is a really soft casting cost and there are so many UG or UW lists that would be able to just adopt this card without really flinching. Even just changing it to would make it harder to cast with Islands and would probably let you give it +1/+1 or a relevant combat ability or something.

A blue deck appropriating a card clearly made to boost the effectiveness of an underused color, and subsequently thumbing its nose at the entire game of Magic? Surely, you are not speaking of legacy. Maybe something more like a reverse Sygg, River Cutthroat?

Some Proper Name Comma Some Job Title or Nickname
Legendary Druid

At the beginning of each end step, if you gained one or more life this turn, draw a card

1/3

At the very least, it helps against punishing fire.

[Cire]

sort of weak isn't it?

would prefer something like

NAME (W/G)(W/G)
Creature
Lifelink
At the beginning of each end step, if you gained life this turn reveal the top card of your library. If it's an artifact card place it into your graveyard. Otherwise place it into your hand.
2/2

Idk - something that's like draw - but not

[testing32]

A red way to answer True-Name.

RR
Instant
Damage cannot be prevented this turn.
Do 1 damage to all creatures.

[Malakai]

Fairly simple. How much mana would you be willing to pay for this card and still play it in your legacy deck.

Sensei's Super Divining Top
Artifact
1: Look at the top three cards of your library and arrange them in any order. You may activate this ability while this card is on the stack or the battlefield.
1, tap: Draw a card, then place this card on top of your library.


Eh? EH?

[rufus]

How broken is this:


Instant
You control all players while target spell controlled by an opponent resolves

Prolly not so if it resolves it resolves no one has priority... I mean its ok vs cabal therapy or tutors but you cant change a target or something! Fun vs ad nauseam!

OK cuz I like Goblins:

R
Goblin, Goblin Welder

T, Sacrifice a Goblin: Return target Goblin from your graveyard to the Battlefield
1/1

R
Goblin Innkeeper

T: Exile another Goblin, Return it into play tapped at the beginning of the next turn.
1/1

Just to toy around with EtB triggers!

[Barook]

I was thinking how to increase the draw quality for nonblue decks in Eternal formats. So the basic idea was this:

Mind Map
Artifact
Tap: Scry 1.

Alot stronger than Crystal Ball and Witches' Eye, but then again, this would be aimed at Legacy (and Vintage). However, the basic design has some issues:

- it's card disadvantage with no ability to compensate like Top or Sylvan Library, for a mere card filter
- if it's good enough, blue decks would run it as well
- going into most decks without a drawback isn't desirable

Which led me to this:

Mind Map
Artifact
Spells and abilities can't cause players to draw cards.
Tap: Scry 1.

This kills three birds with one stone. It doesn't automatically go into every deck (especially blue ones), it nerfes cantrip and other broken cards like Griselbrand, and it helps fixing the draws of nonblue decks.

Vovdenpale Sentry
Creature - Dryad
Whenever an opponent casts a noncreature spell, put a +1/+1 counter on Vovdenpale Sentry.
0/2
They guard the last forest in the world.

Melancholic Sovereign
Creature - Human Noble
When Melancholic Sovereign dies, search your library for a legendary permanent, reveal that card, and put it into your hand. Then shuffle your library.
2/2
Her beauty inspired the kingdom.

[Gheizen64]

Why was this thread moved lol?

Anyway, to continue on the "fix going second/first" and promote monocolor:

Unluckyman Mountain
Land
When Unluckyman Mountain ETB, if you control no other permanents and you have 7 cards in your hand, deal 3 damage to your opponent.
T, pay 1 life: add R to your mana pool

Forest would search another forest from deck and add to your hand, island would scry 2, black would make opponent discard 1 or fateseal 2, plain would give you a 2/1.

As for making a red varaint of D&T Viable, i think this could do it:

Fire Seer 1R
Creature - Human Wizard
When it ETB, add RR to your mana pool.
2/1

I don't understand what the priority issue is.

Th effect is also potentially useful vs card selection cards such as Brainstorm and Dig Through Time, tutor-likes such as Natural Order or Lim-Dul's Vault, choice cards like True Name Nemesis or Painter's Servant, and 'will of the council' voting cards.

[Nonex]

Hydroplasm X
Creature - Ooze Shapeshifter
Flash
Hydroplasm costs twice X less to cast.
When Hydroplasm enters the battlefield, counter target spell with converted mana cost X. If that spell is countered this way, put X +1/+0 counters on Hydroplasm and draw X cards.
0/1

Is it me, or is there no mana icon for X?

[Kanti]

Something simple that I'd like;

Blue Bounce Spell x32
XUU
Return target non-land permant with converted mana-cost 3 or less to it's owners hand
Scry X, then draw a card

Or I'd like Repeal to be errata'd to X or less.

[Barook]

Since there was discussion about how the new Surrak doesn't fight anything despite that being his main appeal, I wonder how a good fight creature would look like. How about this:

Nemesis Viper
Creature - Snake
Nemesis Viper can't be countered.
Deathtouch
When Nemesis Viper enters the battlefield, you may have it fight target creature you don’t control.
2/3

[Kanti]

I like it, though I would make it a 1/3.

[Barook]

I considered that, but that would make it worthless as a beater and thus kinda meh.

[Vicar in a tutu]

Guardian of the Conclave
Creature - Human Shaman
Flash
When Guardian of the Conclave enters the battlefield, choose one:
* You gain hexproof until end of turn.
* Until end of turn, spells and abilities your opponents control can't cause you to sacrifice permanents.
2/2
