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.
Twist Licid
Creature - Licid
, : Twist Licid loses this ability and becomes an Aura enchantment with enchant creature. Attach it to target creature. You may pay to end this effect.
Enchanted creature gets +3/+3.
When Twist Licid becomes unattached to a creature, put a -1/-1 counter on that creature.
2/1
Create a sorcery or instant with no colored mana symbols or the symbol.

Esper Leviathan
Artifact - Vehicle
Crew 10
While Esper Leviathan is a Creature, it gains Haste, Trample and Hexproof.
If, at the beginning of your End Step, this card is not a creature, tap it. It doesn't untap during your next untap step.
"What makes you think this is a good idea?" - Tezzeret
12/7
Make another fancy Leviathan.
February 21, 2019 11:36 p.m.
Dark Water Pirate
Creature - Pirate
Islandwalk, Swampwalk
Whenever Dark Water Pirate attacks you may sacrifice a creature to make target player exile the top card of their library. If it is a non-creature you may play that card, otherwise put it into the owner's graveyard.
They are said to have more tricks than a sea circus sideshow.
3/4
Create a traveling circus side show card!
February 22, 2019 12:02 a.m. Edited.
Trostani's Pet
Creature - Wurm
Vigilence, Trample, Lifelink
Whenever a token you control leaves the battlefield as a result of a spell or an ability an opponent controls, create a copy of that token.
4/8
Make the inverse of mine or Infernal Ring Leviathan: or
February 22, 2019 12:09 a.m.
Yep a traveling circus side show. Like the bearded woman, the lizard boy, or something odd. I bet a creepy/magical travelling carnival set on a plane like Innistrad would be replete with things both wondrous and revolting.
February 22, 2019 6:41 a.m.
Doran, Primal Rage 3BRG
Legendary Planeswalker - Doran
+2 Deal 2 damage to target creature. If damage dealt this way causes it to go to the graveyard, instead exile it and repeat the process once more but only once.
-3 Treefolk cost 3 colored mana of your choice less this turn, but that mana cost must be in their CMC.
-12 Create an emblem that states: “Treefolk you control gain trample, haste and reach. They can also deal combat damage with their toughness instead of their power.”
5
The idea here is Nissa was part of the fight against Nicol Bolas. She was dealt a fatal blow but managed to planeswalk to Lorwyn but collapsed and died at the foot of Doran, this surrendered her spark to Doran. Doran sensed her pain and frustration and became enraged thinking Nicol Bolas was attempting to destroy all life.
Anyways, wildcard.

4/7
In case you need something paradox...
Creature your dream commander inyour least favourite colour combination.
February 24, 2019 5:01 a.m.
My dream commander would be Orzhov. I currently have an Elenda, the Dusk Rose and an Obzedat, Ghost Council deck. I love enchantments, and would make a relevant commander. While I like Daxos the Returned , I'd prefer a more pillow fort strategy, as I employ with Obzedat. I think something like:
Phiona the Sacrosanct
Legendary Enchantment Creature - Angel Spirit
Flying, Lifelink
Whenever a creature attacks you or a planeswalker you control, you gain X life, where X is the number of enchantments you control.
2/5
I honestly don't think this would even be impossible to be printed. I think it could be printed in either a commander pack, or even an expansion, as it really just requires removal. And if there's an enchantment theme, I imagine the set would include more enchantment removal, including board wipes.
February 24, 2019 6:10 a.m.
oh, crap, I messed up, I thought it was favorite
Simic is my least favorite. By far.
to remake the Phiona as simic:
Phiona, Daughter of Kruphix
Legendary Enchantment Creature - God
Flash, Hexproof
As long as you control 6 or fewer enchantments, Phiona, Daughter of Kruphix, isn't a creature.
Other Enchantment spells you control have flash.
Whenever a creature attacks you or a planeswalker you control, create X colorless Treasure artifact tokens with "Tap, Sacrifice this artifact: Add one mana of any color.", where X is the number of enchantments you control.
6/10
okay, favorite commander, in least favorite colors
