Custom Cards forum
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.

Tempest of the Dual Moons 2GR
Enchantment
Double sided and Split cards gain: "When you cast this spell, if its a non permanent split card cast the spell as if it has fuse and its fuse cost was paid. Otherwise, if its a double sided permanent, treat it as if both sides are in play simultaniously and ignore any transform effects."
The wording on this one was hard. Sorry. Make a UN style card with overly confusing text.
