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.

This card is supposed to depict that Liliana has found a way to track the third of the Demonic Four. I hope this art hasn't been used in any existing card...

canterlotguardian says... #18
Lmao yeah. But you have to have her out 3 turns to get that high, since her plus ability is only 1 each time. And if that thing sticks for three turns and no one does anything about it, you deserve that Griselbanned.

@Boza: Now that's an interesting design. I like it. What should we do next?
September 14, 2015 12:47 p.m. Edited.
TheNextRedDude says... #26
I have an idea: Unrestrained BFZ creation run. Everyone just creates and creates whatever BFZ themed stuff they want until the full set is spoiled. Who agrees?
September 14, 2015 12:49 p.m.
AngryKitten says... #27
Maybe we should make a different thread for that :P
September 14, 2015 1:05 p.m.
canterlotguardian says... #28
Oh my god the work I'd have to do to create all those cards. I shudder just thinking about it. Lmao

Make a land that would synchronize well with Nissa, Sage Animist Flip
September 14, 2015 9:07 p.m.
I forgot to add anything, didn't I? Signalling the next is much more difficult than the actual card design.
