Civilbane Gauntlets-

Artifact - Equipment

Equip:

Whenever equipped creature attacks, attacking creatures gain +2/+2 and trample until end of turn. Sacrifice each creature with power 4 or greater at the end of each combat step.

Whoa. I know of a Jund tokens deck that this would go great in.

I like making cards. I'll be posting my random ideas here for now on

So is this the Just Chatting of custom cards? I'm ok with that.

Ravolt says... #11

Here's a card I just thought of. vault was my inspiration.

Golgari Vault B/G

Artifact

Golgari Vault doesn't untap during your untap step.

At the beginning of your upkeep you may pay 4, if you do untap Golgari Vault.

At the beginning of your draw step, if Golgari Vault is tapped, it deals 1 damage to you.

Tap, add 1BG to your mana pool.

4/1

Someone make an art of Golgari Vault so I can put it on my page.

Here's what I think Jor Kadeen should have been:

Jor Kadeen, Inspiring Leader - 3WR
Legendary Creature - Human Soldier
First Strike
Metalcraft - As long as you control three or more artifacts, creatures you control get +1/+1 and have Battle Cry.
2/2

That Scroll of Tidings is stronger than Jace Beleren in a number of ways, I feel.

December 22, 2015 5:03 p.m.

VampireArmy says... #16

In a sense it could be but you have to dump mana into it so it's still a bit balanced imo.

So I've got this sweet custom card idea that I wish had been in standard:

Name: Jace, Vyrn's Prodigy
Cost:
Type: Okay you see where I'm going with this right?

All joking aside:

Name: Xenagos' Despair
Cost:
Type: Enchantment - Aura
Text: Enchanted creature gets -X/-X where X is the number of creatures on the battlefield. If enchanted creature would be put into a graveyard return this card to it's owners hand.

I think if Xenagos does come back he'll be a little more wicked than he was before. The card is like the total inverse of Rancor + Xenagos, the Reveler. You need your opponent to have many creatures to kill their big creature, it shrinks instead of grows, and it only goes back to hand if the creature dies which makes it a little more balanced compared to things like Shattergang Brothers + Spreading Algae or Rancor + Shattergang Brothers . All in all I would not play this card and I would not pick it in draft. But still, it's flavorful and balanced, the type of thing WotC likes to put into their uncommon slot.

kengiczar says... #18

Eh I should say VampireArmy that I posted the Xenagos card here because I wanted you to take a look at it : )

Ok, here's one for shadows over inistrad and oath of the gatewatch

Avacyn, Blighted Angel 4WC

Legendary Creature - Angel

Flying 5/5

Triggered abilities of colorless spells can't be countered.

Whenever you cast an eldrazi spell with cmc 7 or greater, creatures you control gain indestructible and lifelink until end of turn.

Norin the Deranged-

Creature- Human

Norin the Deranged cannot block.

Whenever another creature enters the battlefield or attacks, each player loses 1 life.

2/1

"I have a bad feeling about this."- last known words of Norin the Wary"

January 25, 2016 11:42 p.m.

-Fulcrum says... #21

I don't know enough about Norin to know if this is thematically correct, but seems powerful, but balanced. Also, should be a Legendary Creature.

Gisa and Geralf, Master Necromancers-

Legendary Creature - Human

Morbid: if a creature died this turn, choose one:

  • Return target creature card from your graveyard to the battlefield tapped. It becomes a black zombie in addition to it's colors and types.

  • Target player puts the top 5 cards from their library into thier graveyard.

3/3

-Fulcrum says... #23

This card is so fucking awesome. Almost too strong, but the colors lack the inherently powerful ETB effects, so it would have to be a combo build to be powerful, so I think that balances it while still allowing it to be Tier 1 or close to it. Also, when does Morbid trigger? End step?

February 2, 2016 3:57 a.m.

N3XT says... #24

@vault+VampireArmy mabey,

"Morbid: If a creature died this turn, you MAY..."

Activate this ability only anytime you could cast a sorcery.

In my sleepiness, i worded it wrong. Fixed it.

Morbid - At the beginning of each end step, if a creature died this turn, choose one:

Protective Ancestor-

1/4


Enraged Ancestor -

Enchantment- Aura

Target creature has +2/+2 and meanace

February 3, 2016 7:47 a.m.

-Fulcrum says... #28

I don't really understand this one.

February 3, 2016 9:49 p.m.

VampireArmy says... #29

it's a creature with a form of undying that instead of coming back as a creature, comes back as an aura to buff one of your dudes.

February 3, 2016 9:54 p.m.

-Fulcrum says... #30

If you have no other creatures, does it just go back to the graveyard? Do you have to pay the one R when it enters the battlefield, or is that just a color indicator? Why does the card change color?

February 3, 2016 11:05 p.m.

VampireArmy says... #31

Oh i see how that could be confusing. If it has no valid targets, it does go back to the grave

That's just the indicator

It changes because thematically, those are red abilities. I thought about how a spirit would be pissed off about "dying" and use the last of its strength to possess a friendly creature to give it extra strength to enact its revenge.

February 3, 2016 11:11 p.m.

Given the information present on the card and the way the rules currently work, I'll give answers as best I could, without being in Mr. Army's head.

  1. If you have no creatures, it would be unable to target anything with the triggered ability and therefore fizzle, never leaving the graveyard at all. That said, the Aura side should say "Enchant creature (you control)".
  2. It appears to be just a color indicator, given that no DFCs have mana costs on side #2.
  3. Not a clue. Fits flavorfully, given names and ability, but I don't know why he wanted the card to begin with. Not a bad card and not saying he shouldn't come up with it or anything like that, I just don't know his motivations. Maybe he just wanted to have fun with an ancestral spirit getting pissed off.
February 3, 2016 11:14 p.m.

-Fulcrum says... #33

I understand the abilities are red, I'm just trying to understand the choice from a flavor perspective. A protective spirit (which is already dead) changes from protective to enraged upon its . . . redeath? I'm not really concerned with that part, I'm questioning why it would go from protective to enraged.

February 3, 2016 11:15 p.m.

VampireArmy says... #34

Oh well that's easy. Wouldn't you be angry if you failed to protect something via dying? Like knowing that now that you're dead, there's nothing you can do but watch your protectee die? Granted the wording could be altered to:

Whenever another creature you control dies, etcetera.

But i think either way it's acceptable. Hell if anyone wanted to use or modify these cards for a funsies cube, I'm fine with that.

February 3, 2016 11:20 p.m.

VampireArmy says... #35

Before i forget. This one is pretty old. Might have posted it before somewhere but might as well add it to the collection.

Shadowform Watcher :

Creature - Spirit

Flying

Prevent all non-combat damage dealt to shadowform watcher. Target opponent loses 1 life for each damage prevented this way.

1/3

February 3, 2016 11:35 p.m. Edited.

-Fulcrum says... #36

I like it. Kind of reminds me of Boros Reckoner in that I want to cast Blasphemous Act, but also unique.

February 3, 2016 11:42 p.m.

VampireArmy says... #37

Necroing my own thread.

Sudden Winter -

Instant

Tap all non blue creatures. They don't untap during thier owner's next untap step. Skip your next combat phase.

May 12, 2016 8:09 p.m.

Seems pretty powerful. Maybe 4 CMC?
