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.
Zooming Deathtrap
Tribal Artifact - Goblin Vehicle
Trample
Creatures assigned to block ~ lose first strike and double strike until end of turn
If ~ attacks, sacrifice it and its crew at the end of combat
Crew - 3
10/2
Seems like something that goblins would build.
Looks like I was ninja'd, so do above.
March 29, 2020 3:08 p.m.
Ok, wasn't actually a ninja, so my challenge is a reinstatement of a challenge from the previous page that was misinterpreted. Make an instant spell with addendum.
March 29, 2020 3:10 p.m.
Confiscation
Instant
Choose a card type (instant, creature, etc.).
All players reveal their hands. For each card of the chosen type a player reveals this way, that player must pay 2 life or exile that card.
Addendum - If you cast this spell during your main phase, you may pay an additional when casting it. If you do, replace each instance of "player" in its text with "opponent".
Ok, so I'd like to restate and clarify an above challenge I saw:
Make a glass-cannon that is NOT red. Also must be black boarder

Silas, the Entrusted
Legendary Creature - Cat
Silas can't attack alone. Whenever Silas attacks, create two 1/1 white Cat creature tokens that are tapped and attacking. Other cats you control have vigilance and lifelink.
1/1
(Sorry, it's not very creative)
My challenge:
Make a five color planeswalker (that's not completely broken)

Dragon of Time Manipulation
Last Strike
First strike
For each creature blocking or blocked by this creature, flip a coin. On heads, that creature gains first strike. On tails, that creature gains last strike. (Those creatures do not deal normal damage)

Angel of Revolution
Creature - Angel
Flying, first strike
Whenever you would draw a card, you may instead skip that draw. If you do, search your library for a basic land card and put it into your hand.
3/2
March 29, 2020 5:09 p.m.
markbeloit says... #11
Enduring Angel
Creature - Angel
Flying, lifelink
If you would gain 2 or more life, you may instead return target creature card with converted mana cost 2 or less from your graveyard to the battlefield.
2/5
Okay, so I deliberately made that a bit overpowered (mythic time!)
I did a 2 color angel, now do cumlative upkeep
March 29, 2020 5:26 p.m.
ConstantVigilance says... #12

March 29, 2020 6:39 p.m.
Dredgewood Celestial
Deathtouch, Dredge 3
Whenever a creature you control dies, you may exile it instead. If you do, return target creature from your graveyard to the battlefield
1/5
There's a couple challenges that got skipped on this page, but if we can agree to finish this Angel cycle, we should go back and collect all of the skipped stuff.
Make the next Angel azorius, and just for fun give it cycling.
March 29, 2020 6:47 p.m.
dextrousfighter2 says... #22
Lastly, Azorius
The All-seeing

Shoot, I missed a lot of these posts. Forget to refresh screen. Disregard that, except for the collecting skipped challenges part.
March 29, 2020 6:49 p.m.
dextrousfighter2 says... #24
Epicurus, the Wizened One combined the guild angels with the ?/? And cumulative Upkeep. I made sure.
March 29, 2020 6:50 p.m.
ConstantVigilance says... #25
Alright thanks all of you :) i will make a guild angels thread, with other user created angels (i might nerf/buff/change some of them)
i will also continue with this thread, because it's fun :)
CHALLENGE:
Create a 1CMC 6/6 that's not broken
March 29, 2020 6:50 p.m.
ConstantVigilance says... #29
Okay, let me think.
Dark Abomination
Creature - Horror
Imminent doom 4 (At the beginning of your upkeep, put a doom counter on this permanent, then if there are 4 or more doom counters on it, you lose the game.)
Menace, haste T: Add 3.
8/8
March 29, 2020 7:13 p.m.
ConstantVigilance says... #30
Oops, you said new creature type as well..
um edit:
Dark Abomination
Creature - Timetwister Horror
Imminent doom 4 (At the beginning of your upkeep, put a doom counter on this permanent. Then if it has 4 or more doom counters on it, you lose the game.)
Haste, menace
6/6
March 29, 2020 7:15 p.m.
I'll wildcard then instead. I've been saving this one up for a wildcard anyway...
Tax Shelter
Land - Island
Champion An Island - when this enters the battlefield, sacrifice it unless you exile an island you control. When this leaves the battlefield, return the exiled island to the battlefield.
Cumulative upkeep - , pay 1 life
: Add 3 mana of any combination of colors
Sacrifice a creature with power 3 or less: Add 3 mana of any combination of colors
Spells and abilities can't increase the mana costs of spells or abilities you control
Additional costs of spells or abilities you control don't have to be paid.
It wasn't so rough around the edges when I was first ready for it a few days ago, but I never wrote it down before, so this is what I got.
Do me something with cascade and jump start.
March 29, 2020 8:19 p.m. Edited.
ConstantVigilance says... #33
Inexplicable Disaster
Instant
Return all creatures you don't control to their owners hands.
Jump-start
If you cast this spell with jump-start, it gains cascade.
My challenge: Create a very flavorful planeswalker card of a planeswalker that hasn't been seen in a while.
March 29, 2020 8:24 p.m.

Serra, the First Angel
(i don't know how to do the fancy loyalty symbol thing)
+1: You gain 2 life
-2: Draw a card for each Angel creature you control.
-6: You get an emblem with: "Angels you control have indestructible and lifelink."
Serra, the First Angel can be your commander.
4
March 29, 2020 10:47 p.m.
ConstantVigilance says... #35
Serra, the First Angel
Legendary Planeswalker - Serra
+1 You gain 2 life.
-3 Draw a card for each Angel permanent you control.
-7 You get an emblem with: "Angel creatures you control have indestructible and vigilance." Search your library for an Angel creature and put it onto the battlefield.
4
March 29, 2020 10:50 p.m.
Serra, Holy Patron
Legendary Planeswalker - Serra
+2 Target creature gets +1/+1 and gains flying, vigilance and lifelink until end of turn
+1 Until your next upkeep, white creatures get +1/+2, and nonwhite creatures get -2/-1
-X Choose any number of artifacts and/or enchantments equal to half X, rounded down. Destroy each of the chosen permanents
-8 You get an emblem with "creatures you control with base power and toughness 1/1 get +5/+5 and have flying"
5
Drawing inspiration from On Serra's Wings, Serra's Boon, Serra's Liturgy and Serra Ascendant.
It can't be a commander itself, but useful in general for commander format. Especially decks with Elspeth, or Superfriends decks with a lot of 1/1 token production. Or just any token production decks with a lot of white.
Make a land with suspend. Unless that's a ninja I see on the notification beacon. In which case, do the challenge above.

Nilbog
Creature - Nilbog
Champion A Goblin
Shroud
Whenever a source deals damage to Nilbog, prevent that damage. You gain that much life. If the source was a creature, tap that creature and gain control of it. It doesn't untap during its controller's untap step. Return control of all creatures controlled in this way to their owners when Nilbog leaves the battlefield.
Sacrifice three food: return Nilbog to its owner's hand. Any player may use this ability.
1/2
"Goblin" spelled backwards. They are goblins possessed by a trickster spirit, which have anti-damage qualities (damage heals them, healing harms them). They charm would-be attackers and turn them into worshippers. The only way to keep them under control is to pander to them, and keep them fed and happy. Nasty little shtyts.
Make a noncreature spell that interacts with planeswalkers in an interesting way.
March 30, 2020 2:39 a.m. Edited.
Jaya's Last Flame
Sorcery
As an additional cost to cast this spell, remove X loyalty counters from planeswalkers you control.
Jaya's Last Flame deals X times two damage to all creatures and players.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Create a similar card to this one, but in another color/color combination
March 30, 2020 2:46 a.m.
Stardragon says... #39
Summoned Hoard
Sorcery
Put X 3/3 Green Beast creature tokens with trample onto the battlefield where X is the number of loyalty counters paid from planeswalkers
So the point is to use loyalty counters instead of mana to get creatures onto the battlefield and you use more than one walker so this could very well be a planeswalker deck boardwipe im not the best with wording so forgive me one that.
Make a Commander with Cascade and Unearth
March 30, 2020 4:36 a.m.
seshiro_of_the_orochi says... #40
Traynimor, Cemetery Plower 3UBR
Legendary Creature - Zombie Warlock
Cascade
As long as there are cards in your graveyard, ~ has indestructible.
As long as ~ is in your graveyard, creature spell cards in your graveyard have Unearth. Their unearth cost is equal to their mana cost minus 1.
4/4
He's super powerful, but he is kind of inconsistent and counter intuitive in his abilities. This way, he's somewhat open ended but not an engine on his own.
Create a legendary ice mage.
March 30, 2020 4:58 a.m.
Beira, Harbinger of Frost
When Beira, Harbinger of Frost enters the battlefield or attacks, tap target non-snow permanent. It doesn't untap for as long as Beira, Harbinger of Frost is on the battlefield.
3/5
Make an oath for a planeswalker that doesn't have one yet.
March 30, 2020 6:15 a.m.
Oath of Arlinn. 1RG
When oath of Arlinn enters the battlefield make a 2|2 wolf creature token, then you may have it fight up to one creature your opponents control.
At the beginning of each end step if you activated a loyalty abilitiy of a planeswalker you control you may have target creature you control fight another target creature an opponent controls
March 30, 2020 6:31 a.m.
Oops, almost forgot the flavour text.
“For those who like to dress up in fur suits at night and for werewolves I will keep watch”
My challenge is to make a card that uses the fateseal mechanic that’s actually good, but it cannot be a planeswalker. Here’s the definition of fateseal
“Fateseal is a keyword action similar to scry. The only difference between them is that when you scry, you affect your own library, and when you fateseal, you affect an opponent's library.”
March 30, 2020 7:06 a.m.
Make a legendary black creature that's meant to be a protagonist - a la Toshiro Umezawa.
March 30, 2020 7:52 a.m.
Harek (Tomik & Ral's Son)-
Legendary Creature- Human Mage
The first time a creature attacks you each turn, you may exile that creature. If you do, return it to the battlefield tapped at the beginning of the next end step.
Whenever an opponent draws a card, look at the top card of that player's library. You may put that card on the bottom of that player's library.(If an opponent draws multiple cards, first they draw those cards, then you look at the top cards of their library)
Whenever a source an opponent controls would deal damage to you, Harek deals half that much damage to them, rounded down.
2/2
Make another card about a planeswalker in the future.
March 30, 2020 9:34 a.m.
SquirrelPenguin says... #46
Raz, Heir of Storms
+1: Ral deals 1 damage to any target.
0: Creatures you control get +1/+0 until end of turn.
-8: Ral deals 7 damage to each creature you don't control.

Make a planeswalker that transforms that cares about coin flipping.
March 30, 2020 10:04 a.m.
markbeloit says... #48
Tanis, the Flickering Spark
Legendary Creature - Human Wizard
: Flip a coin. If you win the flip, transform Tanis, the Flickering Spark.
1/2
Tanis, Ignited
Planeswalker - Tanis
+1: Reveal the top card of your library. If it's a nonland card, you may pay . If you do draw a card. Otherwise, put that card into your graveyard.
-3: You may discard a card. If you do, draw three cards. Then flip a coin. If you win the flip, transform Tanis, Ignited. If you lose the flip, discard a card.
-5: Tanis, Ignited deals 4 damage to up to two targets. Transform Tanis, Ignited.
4
I like this. A planeswalker whose spark is unstable, and so alternates between being a planeswalker and a regular human.
His loyalty counters are reset every time he flips from human to walker (no loyalty counters on human side). If his loyalty goes down to 0 as a walker, he dies before he flips back to being a human.
Make a dragon planeswalker that is not Ugin or Nicol Bolas.
March 30, 2020 11:46 a.m.
SquirrelPenguin says... #49
Bicol Nolas
Legendary Planeswalker--Nolas
+2:You gain 3 life.
0: Bicol Nolas deals damage equal to the number of loyalty counter on him to target creature you don't control.
-8: Search your library for a permanent card with converted mana cost 5 or less and put that card onto the battlefield tapped, then shuffle your library.

make a creature card that cares about squirrels, but make it not have echo or vanishing and make it in old card style (summon rather than creature)
seshiro_of_the_orochi says... #1
TypicalTimmy: Thank you for this amazing design. I tried to come up with my own approach for the challenge, but yours is just so much cooler. I love the flavour here. I'd love to play this as a cat/rat deck. Thanks to white, the deck would even have access to populate spells. It's a shame Anix couldn't include Hungry Lynx though.
