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.

New page; Don't want the challenge to be lost.
Make a mythic level Enchantment Creature for the Azorius Senate on Ravnica. So not just in color; It must be specifically for Ravnica.
The challenge is really that there aren't enchantment creatures on that plane, so what would it look like? :)
- Optional: Nonlegendary for a bit more difficulty.

Eletra, of the Law
Legendary Enchantment Creature - Elemental Spirit
When ~ enters the battlefield, detain each multicolored permanent your opponents contorl.

Fun challenge! Make a new leader for the simic clan that doesn't revolve around +1 +1 counters

Varen-Kol, Extraordinary Geneticist
Legendary Creature - Human Elf Wizard
At the beginning of each upkeep, create a 2/2 green and blue Ooze creature token.
Whenever a creature enters the battlefield under your control, you may have it become a copy of target creature with equal or less power, except it keeps its original name.
3/3
I wanted to give the feeling of power equal to what Aurelia, the Warleader brings to Boros. Hopefully I succeeded.
At the risk of starting an 8-card cycle... Choose another guild and make a legendary creature with its mana value following the same pattern of mana pips as Aurelia and Varen-Kol

Each player may discard any number of cards, then they draw that many cards. Afterwards, Passionate Discourse deals damage equal to twice the number of lands discarded among all players divided among any number of targets.

Create a card that uses corrupt. Corrupt can be used in numerous ways.
Enters and becomes corrupt
Attacks and becomes corrupt
When ~ becomes corrupt
Corrupt creatures get
Corrupt creatures have
So create a card that uses corrupt. How corrupt works is on the card above.

Also for those who want to see the complete og duel lands I created hit the drop down bar
August 7, 2023 9:50 a.m.
griffstick says... #29
Ok I'll make it in time. But for the other problem I just noticed. Corrupt or Corrupted is allready a keyword. So it's now called coerced
coerce.
verb
persuade (an unwilling person) to do something by using force or threats.
"they were coerced into silence"
August 7, 2023 3:54 p.m. Edited.
TypicalTimmy says... #31
So if I am to understand Coerced correctly, it is essentially a condition of a creature - but the condition is tied to what other spells and permanents give it, and not something intrinsic to itself?
For example, if I give a creature Hexproof, we all know what that means and what it does.
Similarly if I Goad a creature, albeit a temporary condition, we all now know it must attack the following combat if able. Once that appropriate combat has passed, it is no longer goaded.
It seems to me that Coerced is an ongoing condition, and that a Coerced creature can Coerce others, but outside of the exponential spread of Coercing other creatures, the keyword really does nothing else by itself. Instead, it relies on other spells and permanents to tell it what it can (or can't) do, is that about correct?
Dance with The Devil
Sorcery
Untap target creature and gain control of it. It gains haste. At the beginning of the next end step, return it to its owner's control unless it was Coerced.
Wild

That makes it, in a roundabout sense, akin to being tribal.
Nice.
August 8, 2023 1:24 p.m.
seshiro_of_the_orochi Bloomburrow is the most interesting of the reveals for me.
Heavy Rain
Creatures can't attack unless their controller pays for each attacking creature.
: Return target creature to its owner's hand.
Create an Equipment commander that doesn't have a Boros color identity. It can include those colors, but it can't be exactly .

You guys and gals have no idea how seriously proud I am with that one. Feels like I was able to successfully blend enchantments, artifacts and lore all together, while keeping it both simple and balanced.

TypicalTimmy says... #48
I cleaned Rampage up a bit
Make more Juggernaut cards!
August 10, 2023 12:37 a.m.
TypicalTimmy One tiny templating change on that card:
"Whenever Rampage would destroy a permanent..." should be "If Rampage would destroy a permanent..." to make it a replacement ability and not a triggered ability.
August 10, 2023 12:41 a.m.
TypicalTimmy says... #50
Updated on the website. Card image should update here shortly, although sometimes they don't. Kinda finicky like that.
I dropped Hexproof because of how powerful he is in combat, but I might give back Ward because 9 mana is a lot to pay for just to get Murdered.
Maybe Ward ? That seems reasonable.
TypicalTimmy says... #1
I want to print these off, griffstick T_T
Crocotle
Creature - Crocodile Turtle
Mutate
Flash

Whenever this creature mutates, you may exile a creature or planeswalker card from target players library. If you do, you gain life equal to its power or starting loyalty.
