This is going to sound absolutely absurd, and I perfectly understand that.

So my girlfriend is currently enrolled in college, studying endocrinology. She is on an accelerated program - essentially meaning 3 semesters a year (No summers or spring break) and will get her PhD ahead of schedule.

She is currently being flown all across America to study under seminars to learn more about the field. It's not just her, but a bunch of students.

She is also currently assisting her professor research Type 3 Diabetes, which is diabetes of the brain. This is thought to be the cause for Alzheimer, dementia, etc.

She is currently doing laboratory work with mice brains to look into ways to ameliorate the symptoms, and are moving toward approval for pig brains, then monkey brains and eventually Human brains.

When I asked her just how freaking smart she is, she said numerous tests have continually placed her IQ at an average of 152.

So like... help me quantify that. What the heck does an IQ of 152 even mean?? I mean it's like, I can only view the world with my silly little brain so I literally have no perspective on this.

Does that mean that she like, idk, reads super fast? Just memorizes things really well? Like what the heck man

(I say girlfriend, but we have already spoken about marriage and a family together. We both want it, and I've told her once I can afford a nice ring I'll propose properly. Tbh I recently found my mom's old engagement ring from my dad, and am working up the courage to ask if I can propose with that since my mom is now engaged to her current fiance {Dad passed in 2009 and she rekindled with an old highschool crush all of these years later})

There are 2 white spiders, 4 red spiders and surprisingly one blue? But the options are so limited overall that it isn't worth including other colors just for minor options.

Ishkaru, Web of Lies

Legendary Creature - Spider

Reach, deathtouch

Graft X where X is the number of times you've cast Ishkaru this game.

Whenever you move a +1/+1 counter from Ishkaru onto another spider you control, create a Web token.

2/2

Hmm... so here's an interesting challenge.

You see that Web token I just mentioned? Noticed how I left out what that token actually is or even does?

That's your challenge. Make her token!

Windchill Elemental

Creature - Elemental

Flying

Whenever Windchill Elemental attacks, you may exert it. If you do, tap target creature an opponent controls. It doesn't untap during its controller's next untap step.

2/6

Wild

Kerin, The Abundance Flame

Legendary Creature - Phoenx

Flying, haste

Whenever you cast a spell from your hand that has one or more targets, you may exile X cards from the top of your library where X was that spells mana value. You may play those cards until end of turn.

: Return Kerin from your graveyard to your hand.

3/3

Just 2 removals and Kerin becomes more cost effective to just let die and go to your graveyard.

And because it says "play cards" and not "cast spells", you can grab a land if you exiled one and haven't played a land yet for the turn.

Feels good to make a hyper aggressive mono-red card again. That was sort of my roots when I first got into Magic.

So your challenge is the same thing. Make a card that was sort of the vibe of how you played when you first got into MTG :)

Shvintabtu, God of the Eclipse

Legendary Creature - God

Deathtouch, lifelink

Shvintabtu costs less to cast for each nontoken creature you sacrifice while casting it.

When Shvintabtu enters the battlefield, create a number of 2/2 black Horror creature tokens equal to the number of creatures you sacrificed when casting it. They have "When this creature dies, you gain 2 life. Put two -1/-1 counters on up to one target creature."

5/7

Tried to balance themes of life and death. I could have done the whole "X =" thing but that's just paying into a mana dump. That doesn't represent life and death.

The more you are willing to kill, the more you are rewarded.

And if you kill 8 creatures and now have an army of 2/2s that can blow up the board and gain you a bunch of life when they die... Well, nobody will want to attack into you, and will be hesitant to block you

Make another card that offers a hard choice to make

Radiance Overseer

Creature - Angel Cleric (Mythic)

Flash

Flying

When Radiance Overseer enters the battlefield, you may exile target creature or planeswalker who attacked you or targeted you this turn. You gain life equal to its mana value.

6/6

Make a creature, legendary or not, who's name is "Archangel of the Eclipse". If it's legendary, add an angelic name in front of that title.

It must have an Orzhov () identity.

YouTube, twitch, anything like that.

We tend to have a rather diverse and vibrant community on Tappedout and, in my personal experience, this site seems to be one of the friendlier ones - if not the most welcoming.

Given how nice everyone is here, how many excellent deck builders we have and how diverse we all are not just as individual people but even play styles, I'm legitimately curious.

Has anyone here been featured on gaming channels such as Game Knights or ChannelFireball or anything like that?

Or, if it's okay with yeaGO and other admins, do you have any personal content (Related to MTG of course) you'd like to share such as Twitch handles or anything?

No my custom card

Thanks for the updoot on Yindri. I'm low-key heart broken he didn't get more love and attention.

I was looking at making a budget friendly deck for him as a custom commander. Lots of utility there with close to 400 card selections between both halves of Adventure, all of the Sagas and all of the Dungeons

The Queen

Legendary Creature - Giant Elder Alien

Trample, menace

At the beginning of your upkeep and whenever The Queen deals combat damage to an opponent, create a 0/2 black Alien Egg creature token with defender. It has ", , sacrifice this token: Target creature gets -2/-2 until end of turn."

Whenever a creature dies, if an Alien you control caused it die, create a 3/3 black Alien Warrior creature token.

7/7

Wild

Basically just Emrakul rending worlds apart again as she does.

Let's see another card that makes a legendary token.

I absolutely love that flavor text, moo1234 lmao

The artwork was borrowed from the real MTG card Inspiring Bard

Yindri, God of Fables

Legendary Creature - Bard God

Indestructible

Whenever you finish a fable, create three treasure tokens, scry 2 and draw a card. You may then discard a card. If you do, destroy target nonland permanent with equal or less mana value. (To finish a fable, cast both halves of a spell that has Adventure, complete a Dungeon, or complete a Saga from its first lore counter.)

5/5

:)

Wild

Aminatou, Three Fates Revealed

Legendary Planeswalker - Aminatou

+2 Create a 0/1 blue insect enchantment creature token named Butterfly. It has flying and ", sacrifice this creature: Counter target spell unless its controller pays ."

+1 Surveil X where X is Aminatou's loyalty.

-2 Fateseal X where X is Aminatou's loyalty.

-12 After this turn, there is an additional turn. Then, gain control of each opponents next turn.

4

Far too often now do we see a Planeswalker who's ultimate is more akin to a strong sorcery, when their ultimate should be a game-winning investment.

Make a Planeswalker who's ultimate essentially makes you win the game, without it just saying "You win the game".

Savage Blightmaw

Creature - Horror

Flying

Whenever Savage Blightmaw attacks, distribute six -1/-1 counters on up to six targets.

As the rancid yellow smog rolled across the field, the farmers realized the only certainty in life... was death.

4/4

Awh what the hell, repeat

Chandra, Holy Avenger

Legendary Planeswalker - Chandra

When Chandra, Holy Avenger enters the battlefield she deals 3 damage to a number of targets equal to or less than the amount of red mana spent to cast her. Exile all destroyed permanents with mana value equal to or less than the amount of white mana spent to cast her.

+2 Chandra deals 5 damage to any target. Exile it if it was destroyed in this way.

-12 Exile all permanents you don't control.

5

Repeat

I'm busy at work but something I thought would have been adorable for Eldraine was white ooze made out of honey that had the Food subtype as well

Maybe the menace to the Oozekin could be something that is gobbling them all up?

I'm not seeing a single thing online as to what the heck a "leyline creature" is.
