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.

My friend is arguing about taxes and I am trying to explain to him that he's wrong. My brother is an accountant with a masters degree in accounting science and a bachelor's in international accounting. He's helped me for years and answers every question I throw at him. I'm asking my brother questions right now that my friend is arguing about, and my friend is dead wrong on everything but refuses to see it.
In honor of this argument, make a death and taxes card, lol

Dustwalk
Instant
Choose one:
- Exile all creatures that entered the battlefield this turn. You lose that much life.
- Exile all attacking and blocking creatures. You lose that much life.
An army 10,000 strong charged the fortress with spears and swords at their ready. The insurmountable force was unstoppable by all measures. Except for that of time.
Let's see a "4-color" legendary creature who has a casting cost of 3 colors and an activated ability of another 3 colors.
For example, perhaps their casting cost is Naya, but they have a Jund activated ability, making them 4-colors in identity.

Emblems are always overpowered by their very nature, I don't like anything you can't interact with. So I tried to make one with a downside you'd have to be careful to balance, but it'd still probably be OP.

It enters the battlefield with a +1/+1 counter for each other creature with flying you sacrificed. If the greatest power was from a legendary creature, put a haste counter and a Ward counter on it as well.
Ultimate Timmy trap card. Yes let me sac a 5/5 and three 4/4s for an 8/8 with trample haste and ward. Instead of 17 power in the air.
Lol. Sorry not sorry, it's a decent draft bomb especially if the set has prison enchantments or your opponent has a ton of reach blockers. Garbage rare otherwise.
But it meets the challenge and is thematic so that's all that matters ^-^
Oh here's one. Make a legendary lobster.
No, it can't be a Lobster Barbarian or a Lobster Leviathan or a Lobster Angel or a Lobster Wizard.
It can O N L Y be a Lobster.
Lol. If in 24 hours from the post time it hasn't been fulfilled, you have my permission to skip to a wildcard :)
