Hahaha! It was the only music related counter I found

Is this supposed to steal stuff, because it does.

It kind of does in effect because it's repeatable but not really because they keep control of their own equipments and can reattach them to something else, even if they'll probably get stolen again the next turn.

Equipment controller doesn't change and they can reequip it to their creatures during theur turn, if that's what you meant. Though I may have to rebalance this, because attaching all equipments can be too much for generic mana uncommon.

Judge[sic]ment?

Uh, Kapow? Are you there?

[mythmonster2]

So, what do we want to do? Maybe choose a winner among ourselves, like with some kind of ranking system?

[mystic1110]

I can bow out and provided judgment later tonight - if that works, so we can move forward.

[Personification]

No objection here.

Okay . . . .

Here's my impromptu guest judging!

An absolute unit! Definitely pushed and terrifying in a multiplayer game, I think it's actually well balanced for its cost and speed. You got to be okay with such a large target on you though if you don't manage to give this haste.

R, exile the top card of your library: deal 2 damage to any target

I think turning every card in your hand into a bolt is a pretty strong effect. That said, every card that abuses these types of thing doesn't have a mana cost associated with its activated ability.

I like this a lot - would have been great in the D&D set we just recently had

Magnetic Plating 2
Artifact - Equipment U
Whenever equipped creature attacks, attach another target Equipment to it. (Control of the Equipment doesn't change.)
Equipped creature gets +2/+0 for each Equipment attached to it.
Equip 4

This is hilarious - and I think balanced - you would probably only steel equipment once - people don't really spam equipment and they would avvoid playing anymore until they deal with this.

Snow myr is snow myr and probably should have been printed already

Bloodrocute - 2R
Instant - C
When you cast Bloodrocute, you may sacrifice a creature. If you do, copy it. You may choose new targets for the copy.
Bloodrocute deals 3 damage to target creature or planeswalker.

- Metalocalypse, Bloodrocuted

This is a very interesting common for red - I think shrapnel blast is the most similar card in terms of damage output for the cost but it doesn't really compare to this one's versatility.

Iron Shod Card Sleeves 2
Artifact - Equipment U (Un)
~ enters the battlefield with 3 charge counters.
Remove a charge counter from ~: Equipped creature gains indestructible until the end of the turn
Equip 1
"Look, I can see where the card is in your deck"
"What if I put it on all of them?"
"... how will you shuffle?"

This is quite interesting, especially since the cards you would want indestructible against are probably instants - or you would want it as a combat trick. This doesn't let you do that so unsure of how it would be used.

Long Forgotten Mine
Land R
At the beginning of your upkeep if Long Forgotten Mine has 4 or more unearth counters on it transform it.
T: add 1 then put an unearth counter on Long Forgotten Mine.

//
They Came From Bellow
Enchantment (black color indicator)
XX, Pay X life: Create X 1/1 black skeleton tokens. Activate this ability only as a sorcery.

This is quite flavorful, but I think you could have gotten away with a lot more. As it is without ramp, you're flipping this turn 4, and then using it just for 2 measly 1/1s. You can wait longer - but not sure it would be worth it.

Mythmonster with Krigax, Crafted Hatred

[Quiddle]

Thanks for judging! :)

[mythmonster2]

Thank you for the win! For the next challenge, make a card from Strixhaven! We don't know anything about it yet except that it has modal double-faced cards, so delve into mechanics past, make up your own, or make a card that just feels like it belongs in a wizard school.

Professor Gitaxias, General Studies 3UU
Legendary Creature - Phyrexian Praetor
Flash, Flying
Whenever you would draw any number of cards, draw that many plus one.
Whenever your opponent would draw any number of cards greater than one, they draw that many minus one.
4/5
One lesson, and his students feel more... compleat.

If Vorinclex is gonna show up in Kaldheim as a Grendal analoge, Professor Jin-Gitaxias is gonna be this year at Strixhaven's new teacher. That's my prediction.

I've also adjusted it so that it does what Vorinclex does, suppressing the themes of the plane (in this case, card draw, which feels like something Strixhaven will do a lot of since it feels scholarly).

Kite-Eating Tree - 1GG

We used to call it the Spanking Spruce, but Professor Larix started docking us points because it's technically a true pine.

Gertrud, the Tamperer WU
Legendary Creature - Human Wizard R
As ~ enters the battlefield, choose a nonland card name.
Spells with the chosen name can't be cast.
At the beginning of each player's upkeep, you may pay WU. If you do, exile target nonland permanent they control. Until end if turn, its owner may cast it from exile.
2/2

[mystic1110]

Spellcasting Practice Dummy 0
Artifact Creature - Scarecrow (U)
Flash
When Spellcasting Practice Dummy enters the battlefield you may counter target instant or sorcery spell. If a spell is countered this way, exile it. Until end of turn that spell's controller may cast it from exile without paying its mana cost and while that player is choosing targets as part of casting that spell, they must choose Spellcasting Practice Dummy if able.
"You think we let them practice "Lighting Bolt" on real people?"
0/1

Massively Simplified.

Sonic Specialist 1WR
Creature - Human Wizard U
When Sonic Specialist enters the battlefield it deals 2 damage to target player or planeswalker. Players dealt damage this way can't cast spells this turn, planeswalkers dealt damage this way can't activate loyalty abilities until the end of their controller's next turn.
2/2
"Peace and quiet was never an option!"

[Necroticplague]

Inventive Testaker 1UB
Creature-Rogue Wizard U
Changeling
Whenever an opponent shuffles their library, look at the top two cards of their library. Exile one of them face-down. You may look at and play this card for as long as it remains exiled, and may spend mana as though it were of any color to cast it.

I'm really uncertain about the wording on this one, or whether it's even possible what I'm trying to do. The intent should be clear at least

I think I get it, yeah. "Choose target player. Until end of turn, if that player would draw a card, instead they skip that draw unless they pay 1 life."

[Misothene]

Strix Haven 2U
Enchantment- U
Bird creatures you control get +1/+1.
Whenever you cast an instant or sorcery spell, you may pay 1. If you do, create a 1/1 Bird creature token with flying.

I think I get it, yeah. "Choose target player. Until end of turn, if that player would draw a card, instead they skip that draw unless they pay 1 life."

Thanks! Yeah, that's what I meant but worded way more clearly.

Hello you all,
I am very sorry for ghosting this thread and leave you all hanging :'(
I had some bad weeks (family stuff) and couldn't get myself to write something.

It is slightly better now, but I won't post here in the foreseeable future, as kind of a consequence.

Sorry again

Totally fine. Nobody expects you to put some random forumers and their fake cards ahead of real life.
