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.

Evolutionary Perfection
Sorcery
Each creature you control becomes a copy of target creature until end of turn.
Creatures you control ignore the legend rule until end of turn.
There are some species and races the Simic wholly ignored. One being Angels. Since Angels are not biological entities, there was really no reason to study them. However, it turns out their blood is so pure, it can essentially force perfection within any form. As a result, the Simic Combine, now thirsty for Angelic blood, waged a war of genocide in the name of 'progress'.
If I recall, the Simic Combine were really the original villains of Ravnica, with Momir Vig, Simic Visionary having created and unleashed Experiment Kraj. So turning them into bloodthirsty savages again seemed appropriate.
I understand it's better suited for Eldraine, but I'd like to see a MTG version of Captain Hook and the crocodile that ate his hand (and clock) on Ixalan.
So your challenge is to make a Partners With pairing for them both.
- Please make it a Human Pirate and a Dinosaur Crocodile.
December 31, 2022 9:37 a.m.
Ol' Lefty, Pirate Captain
Legendary Creature - Human Pirate
Partner with Gucumatz, Hunter of Men
Haste
Whenever Ol' Lefty, Pirate Captain attacks, put a +1/+1 counter on it.
Whenever one or more crocodiles or dinosaurs you control attacks, exile Ol' Lefty, Pirate Captain. Return it to the battlefield under it's owner's control at the beginning of the next end step.
1/2
Gucumatz, Hunter of Men
Legendary Creature - Crocodile Dinosaur
Partner with Ol' Lefty, Pirate Captain
Menace
Gucumatz, Hunter of Men attacks each combat if able.
If a creature you control would leave the battelfield, if it had counters on it, put those counters on Gucumatz, Hunter of Men.
4/4
Tried to make it as thematic as possible. Ol' Lefty was a 2/2, but he only has one hand, so he's a 1/2. lol
Try this challenge again... but on Eldraine this time!

I'll be 100% completely honest, I haven't the slightest clue as to why Kung Lao is my favorite character in Mortal Kombat, but he is. Always has been since the second game.

Holiday Cheer
Sorcery
Each player draws three cards. You create a number of treasure tokens equal to the number of cards in your hand.
I was unable to do Christmas this year for anybody in my family, due to several factors. One being I was lied to about my income earnings at my new job, another was credit card debt.
But mostly it was because I worked 19-1/2 hours the Friday before Christmas Eve, worked 10-1/2 hours on Christmas Eve, and I worked 14 hours Christmas day.
So my resolution is to make up for it and give everyone a better Christmas this year <3
(I left manufacturing for HVAC and was told I would match my wages and have income potential of $100,000 as an installer, especially on the commercial side. I've been earning equal to $40,000. That is a massive difference from what I was interviewed for.)

: Create a Potion Vial token.
I love it griffstick! They all look amazing~
Figured making an artifact that lets you 'make' potions you already know how to make (seeing as they're in your grave after use) would be a fun way to constantly brew potions on the battlefield. Though potions as equipment might be more conducive to a reliable way of utilizing them flavorfully; can't drink a potion that you don't have on your person (in a more d&d mindset I suppose). Regardless, this was a ton of fun.
Let's finish this off as a cycle with a mono white potion~

I've made one like this before but I'm going to try and redo it.

Equipped creature gets +2/+2 and has protection from red and green.
Whenever equipped creature attacks, create a token copy of it tapped and attacking, except it is red and is a Avatar instead of it's other colors and types. Exile it at the end of combat.

Sarkhan, Fire of Rebellion
Legendary Planeswalker - Sarkhan
Whenever ~ enters the battlefield, place X additional loyalty counters on it, where X is the total number of creatures in play. If X is 10 or more, you may activate loyalty abilities of ~ up to three additional times this turn.
+1: Gain control of target creature with power less than the number of loyalty counters on ~ until the end of the turn. Untap it, and that creature gains Haste until the end of the turn.
-X: ~ deals X damage to up to X target Players, Planeswalkers or creatures. If a Creature or Planeswalker would be put into the graveyard this turn, exile it instead.
-17: Remove all Emblems from all players. For each Emblem removed this way, create a 5/5 Red Dragon Creature tokens with Haste.
4
Functionally, the only way to remove an Emblem from a player is to either restart the game, or have them not be in the game. Here's a potential avenue to "Blow Out" an opponent that seemingly has you on the ropes due to Emblems. Also, I think this planeswalker would have the most expensive loyalty ability to activate! Make another way to remove them!

As an additional cost to cast this spell, exile target creature or Planeswalker from your graveyard.
Search your library for a permanent that shares a subtype with the exiled card, reveal it and put it into your hand then shuffle your library.
Thousands of years from now, archeologists will be taken aback in awe at the splendor of the cave paintings and carvings, but few will ponder the artisan behind them.

Sorry about the ninja, I do laugh at how similar they both are though, it really evidence of a player's game-sense and value of the effect to mana cost.

Greg, God of Kobolds
Creature - Human God
Discard a card: Create a 1/1 red Kobold creature token with haste. Activate this only during your upkeep.
Greg wasn't sure how he became the perceived God among the Kobolds. One moment his party were adventuring, exploring dark and devious caverns, the next half of his friends were drug off into the chambers to be cooked alive while the rest died crushed beneath rockfall traps and spiked pits. But when the Kobolds cornered Greg, they murmured amongst themselves for a bit with chittering clacks and clicking hisses. As they lowered the tips of their spears, so too their tails fell. One by one they simply walked away. Now, Greg finds that they seemingly respond to his every command... for better or for worse.

Sacrifice Levied Army: Create a number of 1/1 white Soldier creature tokens equal to Levied Army's power.
Sacrifice four creatures: Return Levied Army from your graveyard to your hand. Activate this ability only as a sorcery.
4/4
This guy can go tall if you need to go tall, or wide if you need to go wide. It still technically can be blocked by a single Goblin or whatever, but that's when it should become a big pile of Soldiers. Hopefully this captures the right flavor.
Create a finisher that isn't a creature.
