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.
That Which Slithers
Legendary Creature - Snake Spirit God
Snake or Spirit Offering (You may cast this card any time you could cast an instant by sacrificing a Snake or Spirit and paying the difference in mana costs between this and the sacrificed Snake or Spirit. Mana cost includes color.)
Deathtouch, Trample.
Whenever you search your library, after you finish you may Scry 1.
"It is not the herald, it is the message itself. For being on its back allows one to see past the farthest trees, ignoring those same trees as one would blades of grass." - Seshiro the Anointed
8/8
Create another Spirit God for Kamigawa.

Myojin of Rebirth
Legendary Creature - Spirit
Myojin of Rebirth enters the battlefield with a divinity counter on it if you cast it from your hand.
Myojin of Rebirth has indestructible as long as it has a divinity counter on it.
Remove a divinity counter from Myojin of Cleansing Fire: For each creature in a graveyard, create a token which is a copy of it. You then gain life equal to token creatures you control.

Oop. Ninja’d on that first one. Which brings me to the draft card that would make me happy...
Night of the Ninja 3UB
Creature cards you own that are not on the battlefield have Ninjutsu. Their Ninjutsu costs are equal to their mana costs reduced by 1.
Creatures you own are ninjas in addition to their other types.

Up next: You've just cast Young Pyromancer and then you've cast Lingering Souls . Create a planeswalker that has CMC 4 and is either Mardu or a subset of the Mardu colours - - that would be quite good to cast on your next turn. And no, you can't just post Sorin, Solemn Visitor .

Feather, Unfettered at Last

Niv-Mizzet
Legendary Planeswalker - Mizzet
+2 Until end of turn, when you cast an instant or sorcery spell, you may pay any number of times, where X is equal to the converted mana cost of that spell. For each time that cost was paid, copy the spell. You may choose new targets for the copies.
+2 Until end of turn, instant and sorcery cards you own have, "You may cast this card from your graveyard by discarding a card in addition to paying its other costs. Then exile this card."
0 Until end of turn, when you cast a spell, change its text by replacing all instances of 'target' with 'each' or 'any target' with 'each player, planeswalker, and creature'.
-4 You get an emblem with “Whenever a player casts an instant or sorcery spell, you draw a card.”

This is where Niv went. If your name is Nicol Bolas, you'd better start (planes)walkin'. Bolas isn't the only guy who killed all the other dragons on his plane, after all.
1st Ability is supposed to be Replicate, 2nd Ability is supposed to be Jumpstart, and 3rd Ability is supposed to be Overload. His final ability is ripped from Niv-Mizzet, Parun . Over the course of two turns, you could get that ability twice; offset by extreme UUUURRRR cost.
Next: Wildcard!

Ferocious - If you control a creature with power 5 or greater, At the beginning of your next main phase, add an amount of Colorless equal to that spell's converted mana cost.
I think a 3-mana, three color mana drain with restriction would be great, but not broken. Also, I think Mana Drain being just Blue was weird.
