Obligatory shitty card creation thread

[Slag]

Well, I posted it in the B/R thread, I should probably post it here.

I think blue should have better card selection than the other colors, but I think right now it's too much better. So I tried to come up with some cards that would work for other colors.

My criteria were:
1) Cards must not be blue.
2) Cards must be 1cmc. Additional costs are acceptable, but only 1 mana.
3) Cards must synergize with non-blue shells better than the blue cantrip shell.

I've always thought Oblation should be more playable than it is. Maybe something to the effect of:

Resign to Fate {W}
instant
Shuffle a white permanent you control into your library. If you do, draw two cards.
Ach, Hans, head toward the light.

[Barook]

On a slightly different note:

Mindcontrol Orb
Artifact
If a player would draw a card except the first one he or she draws in each of his or her draw steps, instead that player skips that draw.
At the beginning of your upkeep, scry 1.

Would be pretty annoying to see that in a prison deck. Very annoying. Still, I like it.

Good God that would rock in Shops. Do not print it. Ever.

I don't know. You are getting a full stifle for 1 colorless mana, and a Swords/Path without either ones downside. Seems like you will have to give your opp some 1/1 or 2/2 token with that spell, or let him gain life. Or make it GW, G being the counter a creatures activated ability (like Blind does, don't know how to link cards) and the W being the exiled part.

You're thinking about it from the wrong way :)

1) it wouldn't be printed in a standard product, but a supplemental. It's designed to go straight into legacy.

2) this is a removal spell for legacy, that costs 2 mana that has tough competition, it needs to be good.

3) it isn't a stifle effect and an unconditional removal spell, it's a conditional stifle and a conditional removal. this isn't card advantage

4) this card can't remove tarmogoyf. Flipped delvers etc. ie, it doesn't replace swords to plow shares or bolts.

5) it stops emrakul and griselbrand from being autowins, which is pretty cool

Whatever
Creature - something
Flash
Flying
Players can't draw extra cards.

And old design of mine to bring across the point what kind of hate bear would be realistically needed to be on par with Brainstorm in cost and speed to fight it while being maindeckable and NOT be abused by blue decks.

Obviously way too powerful (since it can even generate CA against common cantrips for a single mana), so I revised the design to be more fair while still being maindeckable, so it doesn't generate CA against normal cantrips, only BS effects:

Mindlock
Enchantment
As Mindlock enters the battlefield, choose Mind or Lock.

• Mind - Draw a card.
• Lock - Each player can’t draw more than one card each turn.

Since it leaves you with a useless enchantment, it basically trades with cantrips and it's a bit fairer against Brainstorm if they Brainstorm during your turn. The cantrip clause is for excess copies or decks where the draw jamming effect is unwanted. The one-card restriction is there to work with the cantrip part of additional copies if you play it during your opponent's turn. While there is a chance that blue decks still could pick it up for the blowouts, I think jamming your own cantrips afterwards is too much of a risk.

Thoughts?

For Griselbrand specifically, either you give this card split second or he draws 7 cards in response, maybe 14 if he hit you beforehand. Of course, he could then just counter your spell and still get the 7 cards you were trying to deny him.

How about some better fetchland / non-basic land hate?

R
1/1
Goblin
Whenever a non-basic land comes into play, ~ does 1 damage to that land's controller.

G
1/1
Elf
Land cards enter play as a basic land of their controller's choice.

B

Wizard
Whenever a player sacrifices a non-basic land, that player discards a card from his or her hand.

W
1/1
Cleric
Non-basic lands enter the battlefield tapped.

U
1/1
Merfolk
Land cards in libraries lose the land type unless they're basic land cards.

Well the idea is that if you've dealt at least 6 damage to them, then they can't do that.

Point is, that card has a lot of interesting play, and turns a lot of no braines decisions these dumb creatures have, into legit decisions when you have some white mana open.

Those 1 drops are all scary strong.

That Merfolk card would instantly make Merfolk the DTB.

Let's go random red cards!

Rite of Chaos R
Sorcery
Reveal a card at random from your hand. If it is a sorcery or instant spell, you may play that card from 0.

A random SnT for instant/sorceries.

Dwarven Tunnel R
Enchantment - aura
Enchant non-basic land you don't control
Creatures the owner of this enchantment control with power 2 or less are unblockable.

Throwback to Grey Dwarves, also non-conventional non-basic hate.

Rite of Chaos R
Sorcery
Reveal a card at random from your hand. If it is a sorcery or instant spell, you may play that card from 0.

It's not random if you only have one other card in your hand.
