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.
Brong, Who shall save the world
Legendary Planeswalker
When ~ enters the battlefield you may search your deck for a creature with toughness 8 or greater and put it into play under an opponents control
+2: Until the end of your next turn, ~ becomes a 7/9 Legendary green and red creature token with trample, haste and indestructible
-1: Return target card in your graveyard and put it into your hand, choose an artifact in your graveyard (with CMC 4 or less) and return it to the battlefield
-7: You may have each creature you control fight target creature your opponent controls, then destroy target land
Firstly I'd like to say I love that centaur card, it's so perfect and cool Ulinto
Secondly this is one of those cards, that has a really cool character who looks like they could take on the planet all by themselves, and has some really great abilities and then they just suddenly suck. Like Tariel, Reckoner of Souls it's a great card with a cool ability and then you look at the mana cost and it sucks
Anyway do the previous challenge of any vehicle, then we should be up to date

Wheel of Annoyance
Instant - Arcane
Each player reveals their hand. Then, each player chooses an opponent until each player has been chosen once this way. For each revealed card in the respective players' hand, those players reveal cards from the top of their library equal to the card's mana value plus three. The chosen opponents respectively choose one of them and players put those cards into their hands, until each player has the same amount of cards they had before the spell resolved. Repeat this process six more times.

Comfort Blankie
Artifact - Equipment
Indestructible
Equipped creature gains Indestructible and "creatures blocking or blocked by this creature lose all abilities and cannot attack or block until the beginning of it's controllers next upkeep.
Equip
So much flavor XD. Indestructible because they tend to last forever even though they go through much. When you possess it it grants comfort or courage even (granting Indestructible) and evokes fond memories when gazed upon by others (pacifism).
How about a teddy bear next or a nightlight maybe. Something along the same lines.

A night of cramming isn't worth a mark if you don't remember it. Good thing I do.
1/2
This was a tough one considering how the b/r colour identity is very chaos and mayhem focused. I'm thinking the flavour of the card is a student who is overambitious in their study sessions because of passion for learning which gives them the skills to help you out a bit with your own study.
Create a drug that is taken somehow by a player, creature or planeswalker. This could be something practical like steroids or something more recreational that just gets them high.

sergiodelrio: This is giving me a headache for figuring out ways to make this cost more. Damping Sphere , Geist-Fueled Scarecrow , Glowrider , Lodestone Golem , Sphere of Resistance , Thalia, Guardian of Thraben , Thorn of Amethyst , Vryn Wingmare are what I found. Seems interesting.

Arena of Kylem
Legendary Land
:
, Target creature commander you control fights target creature commander an opponent controls. If a creature an opponent controls would die this way, put a victory counter on Arena of Kylem.
At the beginning of your upkeep, if Arena of Kylem has 5 or more victory counters on it, you win the game.
I feel like this may be a little too powerful in an atraxa deck, but I'm not sure. Let me know if this should maybe get defeat counters when you lose the fight, or some other downside. Make a new ability called anonymity.
Epicurus says... #1
There's a skipped challenge from Ulinto:
"Create a Planeswalker that essentially only really Helps you but it's ultimate is so lackluster that you'll only really use its first or second ability"
I'm on a break from work and don't have time to do it right now, but I'll get to it in a couple hours if it wasn't done. Just trying to keep the books in order.
After that, follow with sergiodelrio's challenge above this post.
