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.

Discard two cards.
Desperate Denial deals 7 damage to target creature and 3 damage to you.

Desperate Tackle

Target creature gets +X/+X and trample until end of turn and deals X damage to you, where X is the number of lands you control.
The benefit and cost grow as the game goes on and such a desperate tackle could lead to you losing the game after some choice removal.
Finish the cycle.

Deep Freeze
Sorcery
Non-snow creatures become artifacts until your next turn. They are no longer creatures.

DEJA VU
Instant
Target nonland permanent's controller spins that card.
If the card doesn't do more than 2 full rotations they spin it again, if the card stops spinning upside-down destroy that permanent, if the card stops spinning side-ways tap it, and if the card ends face-up nothing happens

Shaggy, Ultimate Instinct
Legendary creature——Human Druid Avatar
Indestrucible, flying
If Shaggy would leave the battlefield, instead place him into exile with 1 suspend counter, and suspend Shaggy.
Whenever Shaggy deals combat damage to a creature or player, gain control of that creature or player until end of turn (if you gain control of a player, you can see the cards in that player’s hand, and may tap mana and choose effects as if you were that player.)
5/5
None can withstand even 15% of his awesome power.

Grumpy Cat
Legendary Creature- Cat Avatar
When ~ enters the battlefield, choose a player. If that player is your opponent, creatures they control get -1/-1, spells they cast cost more to cast, and they discard a card at the beginning of their end step.
If that player is you, draw a card at the beginning of your upkeep, creatures you Control get +1/+1 and spells you cast cost less to cast
When Grumpy Cat dies, the chosen player loses the game. And is also super duper Uber sad.
7/7

The Boundless Thread
Legendary Artifact Enchantment Creature - Shapeshifter God
Changling. The Boundless Thread is not a creature if you don't control 1000 or more lands. (This creature is every creature type)
Whenever you cast a spell, you may copy it, if you do The Boundless Thread deals 1 damage to you. You may repeat this process any number of times.
If you would copy a spell, you may instead add .
If you would spend mana to cast a spell, you may instead draw a card.
If you would draw a card, you may instead draw two cards.
Whenever you draw a card, The Boundless Thread deals 1 damage to each player and 1 damage to you.
1/1
Create another The Boundless Thread. But it MUST be different.
June 24, 2019 6:40 p.m.
The Boundless Thread
Legendary Enchantment
If Boundless Thread is in your opening hand, you may begin the game with it on the battlefield.
You may put enchantments on the battlefield from your hand when you draw them.
I was thinking of this as a Supreme Leyline.

I just thought of another challenge I’d like to see done. I feel like Planeswalkers never get represented correctly, at least new ones. I would like a planeswalker whose spark ignited recently. Give him 2 abilities that fit their personality, but then one ability that reflects or represents the plane that they first ‘Walked too.
Planeswalkers always travel to a random plane when their Spark ignites, and they don’t know how to leave right away. So they obviously have to learn a lot about themselves and their abilities on this new plane, and I’d like to see that plane actually affect their abilities. I hope that makes sense.

Shinobi of Nyx

Magell, Expedition Master
Legendary Planeswalker - Magell
Creatures with bribery counters on them can't attack or block, and their activated abilities can't be activated. At the beginning of each player's upkeep, that player draws a card if they control a creature with a bribery counter on it.

-6: You get an emblem with "Creatures with bribery counters on them can't attack or block, and their activated abilities can't be activated."

When ~ enters the battlefield, put a random card from your library into your hand. Repeat this process X times. When ~ becomes the target of a spell, shuffle ~ into its owner's library.
I think that I'm even more lost that I was before... wait. Is this thing upside down?
Make a white (or white/black) Liliana planeswalker with a twist to her story. She was able to save her brother (Josu Vess) without turning him into a lich, so she never became a necromancer. She remained a healer, but still had her spark ignited.
June 27, 2019 1:26 a.m.
The idea is to take a planeswalker and show them adapting to the plane they are introduced to, as they explore their new powers.

Also, TypicalTimmy, sorry to nitpick, but although lands have no mana cost, they still have a CMC of 0. This same interaction is what allows stuff like Ancestral Vision to be cast from an X=0 Electrodominance , and allows this Jarad to recur opposing lands for free.
