Posted on Aug. 28, 2015, 4:15 p.m. by TheNextRedDude
Ok, heres how this works. You create a card to the specifications of the person above you, then list your own card idea for the next person. I'll start.
Variety XX
Sorcery
If X is 2 or lower, draw X cards. If X is 3, put X +1/+1 counters on X target creatures. If X is 4, return X target creatures from your graveyard to the battlefield. If X is 5 or more, Variety deals x damage to target creature or player. If X is 10 or more, you win the game.
Create a life gaining multicolored Turtle with power twice it's toughness or vice versa.

Can we make a non-contraption card...
IMO this is getting kinda boring

zephramtripp says... #3
@zapyourtumor: What do you mean by that? Mine was the first actual contraption, and the previous card was the first to mention contraptions in the entire thread. If the current trend of UN-cards disappoints you, you may instead make a 5-CMC green sorcery that is neither ramp nor removal.
