Turn yourself into a Commander!
Custom Cards forum

The premise is that you turn yourself into a Commander, or just a normal card. You don't need to have pictures, I certainly won't.
Mudkipdude, Playful Subverter
Legendary Creature - Dragon Nightmare Cat
As long as Mudkipdude is untapped, it has hexproof and ": add mana of any colour equal to your devotion to that colour"
Whenever you cast a spell that shares a creature type with this card, or mutate a creature, put an experience counter on this creature.
At the end of your turn, create a number of 1/1 white Garrison Cat tokens onto the battlefield, where the number is the amount of experience counters on Mudkipdude. If you have 7 or more, remove 7 and put Aster onto the battlefield. Aster is a legendary 3/3 white and green cat token with haste and double strike.
3/3
As a notice, this is completely "at this moment." If I try this again a couple of months or even weeks from now, it's probably going to be different.
I feel like I've been drifting from closer to . Still a lot of , and a good helping of , but my focus has shifted a little. Witherbloom + Simic Combine, instead of pure Witherbloom.

At the beginning of your upkeep, create a 1/1 green Saproling creature token.

It's a snapshot of where I am right now. Check back in a couple years.

mudkipdude - Your commander is dope, dare I say, the cat's meow?
I've always loved the Israelites leaving ancient Egypt with the awe inspiring 10 plagues, so much so I commissioned myself onto my commander card (at the time). Also, do note that there are several instances in the photo of 1 eye. This represents Pharoah's blindness towards the one and only G-d.

Yauntari, the Flame Scorched Creature — Human Dragon
When Yauntari, the Flame Scorched enters the battlefield, you may pay .
When Yauntari, the Flame Scorched enters the battlefield, place 3 time counters on it.
At the start of each upkeep, remove a time counter from Yauntari, the Flame Scorched.
Dragon spells cost less if Yauntari, the Flame Scorched has a time counter on it.
(This is the best I could come up with. I just love Rakdos, and dragons are just sorta my thing :D)

Yauntari It kind of reminds me of Rakdos, Lord of Riots, interesting concept.

If I had to do anything, it would definitely be combining my two favorite styles of play - storm/combo and stax. I think it could work.

Legendary Creature - Human Advisor
Whenever you tap a land with a basic land type for mana, add one additional mana of that same color to your mana pool.
Lands your opponents control with a basic land type do not untap during their untap step.

Definitely don't think it's perfect, but hey - it enables you and shuts down your opponents which is exactly what I seek to do nowadays with my decks, haha.

Crow_Umbra says... #8
I'm not sure what I would be as a commander. The stuff I've played is kinda all over the place. But if Crow Umbra was a card......
Crow Umbra
Enchantment-Aura
Enchant creature.
Enchanted creature gets flying and "Whenever this creature deals combat damage to a player, draw a card then discard a card."
Totem Armor
I'm sure this needs to be balanced a bit more by maybe requiring the discard to happen before the draw, or maybe making the CMC more color intensive. I figured the Looting/Rummaging style draw on combat damage could also tie into crows/corvids being scavengers.
I wanted to add a +1/+2 buff as a nod to Storm Crow, but that seemed a bit too far for what I already have up there.

Elemental Spirit Wall
Defender, Protection from creatures, Wither, Lifelink, Reach
At the beginning of each opponent’s combat step a creature they control of your choice gains provoke and menace until end of turn.
(Custom card’s name) may block creatures with provoke as though they are attacking you. Whenever (custom card’s name) blocks a creature with provoke, draw a card.
2/5
The flavor text is something to do with it doesn’t stop attacks, it stops all means of escape from attacks.

I made my profile name and seniority (year = cost) into a planeswalker, so I'll try this out too. Here goes, in honor of OG combat mechanics:

Legendary Artifact Creature - Human Construct Avatar
You may pay 4 life and rather than pay this spell's mana cost.
Flanking, rampage
Creatures you control gain banding.
Whenever combat damage is dealt to a creature you control, you may draw a card.
: Until end of turn, creatures you control may block and damage other creatures as if they did not have evasion abilities.
In some distant forgotten waste, the Great Mending did more than heal... it birthed new life from broken hedrons and the ire of a world ravaged by monstrosities.

I'm going to repeat a card I posted in the Card Creation Challenge thread recently, it was kinda made with this intent.

, Pay 2 life: Create a colourless 0/5 Wall artifact creature token with Defender.
, : Create a 1/1 Saproling token OR Create a Food token.
: Each opponent pays 1 life and you create an Art token (Art tokens have , : discard a card to Scry 1 and Draw 1, if the card discarded was a non-land you gain 2 life. Roll a 6 sided dice, if the result is 1 sacrifice the token.)
Um, actually, nobody asked me but...
2/4
I do fabrication/construction, but it does take a bit out of you putting up all those concrete walls. The Saproling/food token represents gardening, and I often get the urge to make some weird artwork, ranging from carving spoons to surprisingly precise steel fabrications, I also have the foundations of a fantasy setting written out 'incase', but I feel like art takes something out of other people somehow. Since I mostly make stuff, I settled on Artificer. I've always liked tap abilities that feel like they'd matter if you were left alone for a long time, but that ultimately aren't that good because the creature can just be removed and generate no real value for it's entire first cycle. You don't sacrifice the 'Art' token because you don't 'use up' Art the way you might Food, if you're careful it stays useful, so generating a few art tokens early could be pretty helpful at generating 'value', but it requires resources and they sometimes get damaged unintentionally.

Huh, the each opponent 'pays 1 life' was supposed to be 'loses 1 life', it's an effect not on the cost side for obvious reasons.

Double strike, vigilance, haste
Creatures you control with first strike get +1/+1. The same is true for vigilance, double strike, and haste. (Treat each instance seperately)
At the beginning of combat on your turn, put your choice of a double strike counter or a haste counter on target creature you control.
At the beginning of combat on opponent's turn, put your choice of a vigilance counter or a first strike counter on target creature you control.

art is AI generated, I thought it turned out really well
