Card creation challenge

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.

Karn, Forgemaster - Legendary Planeswalker

+1: You may attach up to two Equipment artifacts you control to up to two creatures you control

-2: Create an Equipment artifact token named Karn's Wargear attached to another target permanent. The token has equip and "equipped creature assigns combat damage equal to its toughness rather than its power and can attack as though it didn't have defender."

-9: You get an emblem with "equipped permanents you control have indestructible" and "equip costs of permanents you control are reduced to ."

Karn, Forgemaster can be your Commander.

starting loyalty: 5

Create an enchantment of any color or colors that has a different ability depending on if it was cast as the first, second, or third spell on that turn.

The League of Extraordinary Maniacs

Legendary Enchantment

When this permanent enters the battlefield, choose the appropriate mode, than return it to your hand:

  • Cast 1st: Scry 3.
  • Cast 2nd: Draw 3 cards.
  • Cast 3rd: Deal damage up to three different targets equal to the number of cards in your hand.

Sort of went for an unset vibe tbh.

Choose your favorite Planeswalker and make both, the Planeswalker deck version of them and the one you open in a booster box for the next set: War of the Spark

Jace, Unseen Infiltrator.

Legendary Planeswalker - Jace

+1: look at the top 2 cards of each players library. You may exile up to one of each of those cards and put the rest on top of their owners libraries in any order.

+/-0: Gain control of target creature until your next turn. Untap that creature.

-2: target creature becomes a base power and toughness 0/2 Nightmare, Illusion and looses all other types and abilities.

-6: For each opponent, search that players graveyard, library and exile zone for up to 10 cards, put them aside and exile them face down in a seperate exile. You may cast those cards for the rest of the game and you may spend mana to cast them as though it was mana of any colour.

The planeswalker deck downpowered version:

Jace, Mindmage Returned

Legendary Planeswalker - Jace

+2:target creature gains Defender until your next turn.

+/-0: target player puts the top 6 cards of his or her library into their graveyard.

-12: for each creature target opponent controls, put a token into play, that's a copy of that creature. Then you may return up to three creatures to their owner's hands.

[6]

For the next challenge: Try to make a version of another planeswalker card that you think (or hope) to see in that form in War of the Spark

Jace is almost confirmed to show up...


Jace, Mental Master

Legendary Planeswalker - Jace (Starting Loyalty 3)

+1: Scry 1. Then draw a card.

-2: Return target creature to its owner's hand.

-8: Target player gets an emblem with "Whenever a player casts a spell, put the top 5 cards of your library into your graveyard.


Went for a sort of Jace, the Mind Sculptor vibe to represent how he got more powerful after Ixalan. Tried to make him playable but not broken.


Create another possible planeswalker for War of the Spark.

Garruk, Embodiment of the Hunt

0 put a prey counter on target creature then, target creature you control gains first strike until end of turn and fights any number of creatures with prey counters.

-3 For each creature your opponents control with a prey counter, create a 4/4 green and black Beast creature token. Each of those Beasts fights a different one of those creatures.

-9 Destroy target player


create a non-planeswalker card that uses prey counters.

Tetzimoc, Primal Death is a creature that uses prey counters (just so you get the general vibe of how they have been used before).

Banana Bow, the Monkey’s Sacred Hunting Tool

Legendary Artifact - Equipment

Equip : Put a prey counter on target creature.

Equipped creature has First Strike, Reach and :Put a -1/-1 counter on target creature with a prey counter.

You may only equip ~ twice per turn.


Make a card with tap and untapped shenanigans that puts Paradox Engine to shame

February 4, 2019 12:46 a.m.

Technowyvern says... #8

The equip and the banana bow’s tap ability should be on different lines. Oops

February 4, 2019 12:51 a.m.

Reach

Whenever What Feeds on Fears is blocked or becomes blocked put a cocoon counter on target creature that blocked or became blocked by What Feeds on Fears. At the beginning of each opponents upkeep if there is a cocoon counter on a creature sacrifice it and What Feeds on Fears get a +1/+1 counter.

Grasping Thopter

Artifact - Equipment Vehicle

Flying

Crew 2 (Tap any number of creatures you control with total power 2 or more: This Vehicle becomes an artifact creature until end of turn.)

Grasping Thopter can be attached only to a creature with power 2 or greater.

Equipped creature has flying.

Equip ({2}: Attach to target creature you control. Equip only as a sorcery.)

2/2


That was a complicated one, sort of weird, modular Cobbled Wings - probably useful on turn 3, but also good for giving evasion to big creatures in the late game. It'd go well on Kaladesh, I think.


Another Kaladesh-styled vehicle!

February 4, 2019 10:15 a.m.

DrayAnthon says... #12

Armament Deployer

Artifact - Vehicle

Crew

  • Alternative: Creature gains Flying

  • Rock N' Roll: Creature gains Menace

  • Grunge Rock: Create gains

Equip


Wildcard but something worthy of a new Un-set

February 4, 2019 2:44 p.m.

Firestorm44 says... #17

Nuclear Shell

Artifact Creature - Turtle (2/4)

Nuclear Shell enters the battlefield with 4 charge counters on it.

At the beginning of each end step, if no player played a card with the word Shell in that card's name or rules text, remove a charge counter from Nuclear Shell. Then, if there are no charge counters on Nuclear Shell, sacrifice it and destroy all permanents.


Another Un-Turtle!

February 4, 2019 3:49 p.m.

jasonkrivera says... #18

Nurtle, Nurtle, Purple Turtle

Legendary Creature - Turtle

Nurtle, Nurtle, Purple Turtle's toughness is equal to the number of lands you control.

Other turtle creatures you control get +0/+X, where X is the number of lands you control.

Say, "Nurtle, Nurtle, purple turtle birthed a hatchling, named 'em Squirtle": Target creature assigns combat damage this turn using its toughness rather than its power. If the tongue-twister was said incorrectly, instead that creature deals no combat damage this turn.

2 / *

I'm going to do the Smash Bros. one:

Kirby the Star Warrior

Legendary Creature - Shapeshifter Warrior

Sacrifice a creature: Kirby the Star Warrior becomes a copy of that creature, except its name is Kirby the Star Warrior, it's legendary in addition to its other types, and it has this ability.

: Kirby the Star Warrior loses all other abilities and gains indestructible and shroud until end of turn.

0/1

let's see another Smash Bros. character

February 6, 2019 12:48 a.m.

rdean14 says... #47

okay, late game red EDH card:

Smelting Plant

Artifact

: Gain control of target artifact until end of turn. Untap it.

, Sacrifice an artifact: Draw a card


This would give red flavorful card draw, and I think that's among the biggest problems for red in edh. That and mana ramp, but the ability to steal a mana rock for a turn mitigates the ability's net cost.


Make your favorite Smash Bros. character to play as.

At the begining of each players turn, if no player lost life last turn, put a travel counter on Final Destination.
