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.
Or do TypicalTimmy's "Make a Legendary Creature that can only attack if every creature you control that is able to attack also does so."

Izu_Korasu says... #25
TypicalTimmy Fennatalmb actually feels more insane the more i think about it. at first glance it felt similar to God-Eternal Kefnet 's ability, but then it hit me .... on second cast the ability to say no with a Counterspell twice is godly, not to mention the storm enablers, cantrips, removal that URW gives you, AND Sunforger /other copy effects is definatly Powerful, maybe overpowered to cEDH banworthy-ness ... free is always broken, but its a fun and interesting design.
Lazuth the Dissolute
Legendary Creature - Merfolk Ooze Mutant
Whenever you cast Lazuth the Dissolute, create X 0/1 Merfolk Ooze tokens.
Swampwalk
other Merfolk you control gain +1/+1 and swampwalk

Suspend 5 -
Whenever a time counter is removed from Manhabo while it is exiled, target player puts the top X cards of their library into their graveyard, where X is the number of time counters on Manhabo.
Sacrifice a permanent: Remove a time counter from Manhabo. Only other players may activate this ability.
If Manhabo is exiled with 20 time counters on it, you win the game.
12/12
What would you give to stop the reckoning?
Make a unique tricolored uncommon
June 20, 2019 6:15 p.m. Edited.
Based on Deflecting Palm
Counterpunch
Instant
The next time a source you don't control would cause you to lose life, instead, you gain that much life and its controller loses that much life. Counterpunch deals damage equal to life lost this way to target creature or planeswalker.
Three colors and 3 CMC to increase the power level, black would make it life lost, not damage.
Unfortunately, Defecting Palm works against infect, and mine wouldn't.
June 20, 2019 11:35 p.m.
To me that seems unique, as I can't think of another card that switches who loses life, unsure about it being uncommon.
I like uncommons, but am impartial about their colors, let's see an uncommon!
June 20, 2019 11:42 p.m.
Sage of Life's Knowledge
Creature - Kor Cleric
Whenever a Blue or Green permanent enters the battlefield under your control, gain 1 life.
"I looked at myself from both sides, and saw myself reaching out me."

Salogel, Llanowar Explorer
Creature - Elf Warrior
Whenever a white or blue permanent enters the battlefield, add to your mana pool
1/1
I really hope I got those colors right haha. So far we’ve got everything but or uncommon with allied colors matter theme!
June 21, 2019 12:40 a.m.
Daveslab2022 says... #33
Tried to edit to say white or RED but now it won’t let me fit some reason
June 21, 2019 12:48 a.m.
Jund Flamethrower
Creature - Viashino Shaman
Whenever a Swamp enters the battlefield, Jund Flamethrower deals 1 damage to any target. Whenever a Forest enters the battlefield, Jund Flamethrower deals 1 damage to any target.
1/1
Okay, now Grixis!
June 21, 2019 1:12 a.m.
Ashaya, Soul of Zendikar
Legendary Land
Ashaya, Soul of Zendikar enters tapped.
Landfall — Whenever a land enters the battlefield under your control, Ashaya, Soul of Zendikar becomes a 4/4 Elemental Spirit creature with Trample. It's still a land.
: Add .
I'd like a draft chaff common that would see modern play!
June 21, 2019 2:30 a.m.
Daveslab2022 says... #36
Omnath, Imprisoned Within
Legendary Land - Mountain Forest
When ~ enters the battlefield, sacrifice it unless you pay
Landfall: whenever a land enters the battlefield under your control, ~ becomes a 3/3 elemental creature with trample
So you can’t play him until turn 2 and he can’t attack until turn 3, then you have to decide whether to attack or use his mana. Seems fair.
Try again!

Shrike
Creature - Bird
Flying, Lifelink
0/2
Shrikes are tiny birds who do their killing by impaling on a spike, so no power, but lifelink, as that seems like a good upside for providing equipment, etc.
Make a commander who would work as the commander for a deck of yours, but is rather different.
June 22, 2019 1:19 a.m.
I don't Commander a lot, but for
Color Shift
Commander / EDH
SCORE: 2 | 95 VIEWS | IN 1 FOLDER
Gilion, the Shimmerdancer
Legendary Creature - Spirit Wizard
Gilion, the Shimmerdancer has hexproof as long as it's not your turn.
At the beginning of your upkeep, choose a color and a basic land type.
Until the beginning of your next upkeep, all permanents and all spells are the chosen color, and all basic lands are the chosen type in addition to their other types.
2/5
I'm feeling both unoriginal and curious. Same challenge.
June 22, 2019 2:25 a.m.
My only egg deck is janky breya so here goes
Name, Master Forger
Creature - Human Artificer
Whenever an artifact would enter the battlefield under your control you may instead have it enter the battlefield as copy of a non-artifact creature.
Creatures you control get +1/+1 for each creature on the battlefield that shares a name with it.
4/4
June 22, 2019 3:09 a.m.
For:
Aminatou's Superfriendly Mentors
Aminatou, Inquisitive Pupil
Legendary Planeswalker - Aminatou
+1: Look at target player's hand. Scry 1.
-2: Aminatou, Inquisitive Pupil becomes a copy of another target planeswalker, you may activate one of her new loyalty abilities once this turn as though none had been activated.
-10: For each zone: exile, graveyard, hand, battlefield, and library, pick a new zone. Each player then moves all permanents into that zone. Each player shuffles their library.
Aminatou, Inquisitive Pupil can be your commander
4
Another!
June 22, 2019 3:17 a.m.
ope, ninja'd.
Lazav?
Legendary Creature- Shapeshifter
If a nontoken permanent you control becomes a copy of another permanent, instead make token copy of the other permanent, and return the original permanent to your hand.
You may have Lazav? enter the battlefield as a copy of any permanent on the battlefield, except it has ": Destroy all permanents unless they have the same name as another permanent"
0/0
To be clear, a token copy of Lazav? wouldn't gain the second ability, it would simply be a copy of the targeted permanent.
I'd like to revert to the new commanders for existing decks

Interesting take on Windgrace (my favorite of the multi-colored commandwalkers)
Estrid, Enchantress' Chosen
Legendary PLaneswalker - Estrid
+2 Reveal the top five cards of your library. You may choose an Enchantment card from among them and put it into your hand. Put the rest into your graveyard.
-3 Search your library for an enchantment card with a converted mana cost equal or less then the amount of enchantments you control. Reveal that card and put it in your hand. Then shuffle your library.
-11 You get an Emblem that says "Enchantments you control have Hexproof and Indestructible". Then return all enchantment cards from all graveyards onto the battlefield under your control.
{Estrid, Enchantress' Chosen can be your Commander}

I Love the idea of Planeswalker Commanders so lets continue and remake sahelli or create a new Planewalker that can be your commander themed around a particular tribe or archetype

DwaginFodder says... #50
Because Elenda, the Dusk Rose and Arcades, the Strategist , are two of my favorite commanders, here's this:
Nahiri, Wallraiser
Legendary Planeswalker - Nahiri
+1: Create two 0/1 colorless Wall artifact creature tokens with defender.
-2: You may sacrifice a creature with defender. If you do, add X , where X is the sacrificed creature's toughness.
-7: Each creature you control with defender gets +6/+6 and gains trample, haste, and vigilance until end of turn, and can attack this turn as though it doesn't have defender.
This card can be your commander.
