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.

Make a card that gets red into the EDH late game.

I'm going to do the Smash Bros. one:
Kirby the Star Warrior
Legendary Creature - Shapeshifter Warrior
Sacrifice a creature: Kirby the Star Warrior becomes a copy of that creature, except its name is Kirby the Star Warrior, it's legendary in addition to its other types, and it has this ability.
: Kirby the Star Warrior loses all other abilities and gains indestructible and shroud until end of turn.
0/1
let's see another Smash Bros. character
February 6, 2019 12:48 a.m.
okay, late game red EDH card:
Smelting Plant
Artifact
: Gain control of target artifact until end of turn. Untap it.
, Sacrifice an artifact: Draw a card
This would give red flavorful card draw, and I think that's among the biggest problems for red in edh. That and mana ramp, but the ability to steal a mana rock for a turn mitigates the ability's net cost.
Make your favorite Smash Bros. character to play as.
February 6, 2019 12:56 a.m.
Home Run Bat
Artifact - Equipment
If equipped creature would deal damage, it deals double that damage instead.

Final Destination

At the end of each player's turn, Final destination deals damage to each player equal to the number of travel counters on it.

Spinx of New Prahv
Creature - Sphinx
Flash, Flying, Vigilance
Addendum — If you cast this spell during your main phase, draw two cards.
2/4
I figure this wouldn't see any constructed play, as its 2/4 for 4 isn't impressive, and Flash, Flying, and Vigilence are excellent keywords, so a great limited pick, but not enough for a constructed deck to run, even with possible card advantage.
