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.

Make another Star-Wars themed card

February 16, 2019 7:06 p.m.

99LandOTK says... #10

I’m not sure whether to go for an unglued card in this forum, so here’s two star-wars ones.

Lightsaber Artifact

: Equip to yourself.

During your turn, you gain power equal to your devotion to white, blue or green and may attack another player or planeswalker.

When you attack an opponent, take damage equal to their devotion to red and black. If you would deal more damage than you would take, gain the high ground. (You can’t be attacked except by creatures with flying)

It’s over Anikan!

Or, alternatively...

Order 66.6

For each creature your opponents control deals damage equal to its power to its controller. Each opponent may sacrifice any number of creatures in response to negate this effect for the sacrificed creatures.

Until end of turn, you may cast a spell with CMC equal to the number of creatures sacrificed this way without paying its CMC.

First they betrayed their masters, then their masters betrayed them. Now I stand ready to rule the galaxy

Challenge: Create another equipment you can equip to yourself (and explain how damage / combat works)

February 16, 2019 7:39 p.m.

This is where Niv went. If your name is Nicol Bolas, you'd better start (planes)walkin'. Bolas isn't the only guy who killed all the other dragons on his plane, after all.
