MTG - You Make The Card VIII: Escape - Exile 7 MTG topics to create this thread
The next one of these appears!
Previous threads:
MtG - You Make the Card II: Wrath of Karn
MtG - You Make the Card III: Wrath of the Khans
MTG - You Make the Card IV: Threadwalkers

The purpose of this thread is to make custom cards for Magic, the Gathering. If you haven't heard of that, it probably won't appeal to you!
Each week, the current judge will post a challenge. You then need to make your very own magic card to fit that challenge. At the end of the week, the judge will select a winner, who becomes the judge for the next week.
Entries can be made at any time before the judging is posted.
In the event that a judge does not immediately post results on judging day, please allow them a 3-day grace period to post their results. If there are still no results 4 days after the judging day, anyone can announce a winner other than themselves.
Each entry must have at least a text representation of their card, in the following format:
Name Mana Cost
Type - Subtypes Rarity
Card text
Power/Toughness
Mana/tap symbols:
W - White mana
U - Blue mana
B - Black mana
R - Red mana
G - Green mana
C - Colourless mana (the new ◊ symbol)
1, 2, 3, etc. - Amounts of generic mana
T - The tap symbol
Q - The untap symbol
(W/R) or {W/R} - Hybrid mana
(W/P) or {W/P} - Phyrexian mana
Rarity symbols:
C - Common
U - Uncommon
R - Rare
M or MR - Mythic Rare
Un - Unglued
For example:
Saint Ayilen, the Lunarblade 2WW
Legendary Creature - Human Knight M
Lifelink
When Saint Ayilen, the Lunarblade dies, put a legendary 4/4 white Spirit Knight creature token with flying and first strike named Saint Ayilen, the Lunarblade onto the battlefield.
4/4
You may also post an image representation of your card if you wish, but make sure you also post the text version, in case of issues with hosting or image clarity.
Finally, I would strongly suggest reading the following articles. They are written with novice designers in mind, but even veteran designers will likely learn something from them (or at least be reminded of something they forgot).

When A New Campaign enters the battlefield, exile up to four target creatures until A New Campaign leaves the battlefield.
At the beginning of your upkeep, roll a d20. If you roll a 1, sacrifice A New Campaign.Last edited by mythmonster2; 2020-12-04 at 01:22 AM.

Re: MTG - You Make The Card VIII: Escape - Exile 7 MTG topics to create this thread
I remember doing a go fish one a while back so let's try another non-trading card game.
May I? 1UB
Enchantment U
When ~ enters the battlefield, target opponent discards a card.
Whenever an opponent discards a card, you may sacrifice ~. If you do, exile that card unless that opponent has you draw two cards. You may play that card for as long as it remains exiled, and you may spend mana as though it were mana of any type to cast that spell.
Tweaked again to have a discard effect so it can trigger itself if you want, although separate targeted discard still helps improve it.
Spoiler: Old versionMay I? (U/B)
Enchantment U
Whenever an opponent discards a card, you may sacrifice ~. If you do, exile that card unless that opponent has you draw two cards. You may cast that card for as long as it remains exiled, and you may spend mana as though it were mana of any type to cast that spell.
Edit: Significantly reduced the mana cost and draws on consideration given the discard requirement is strongly conditional, optional for your opponent and a slowing factor. The old version activating T4 earliest feels like it'd be too hit and miss given that even if you have targeted discard, this card is pretty dead of they don't have anything to discard worth stealing.Last edited by Tom the Mime; 2020-12-10 at 05:18 AM.

Speed Dating 2RG
Instant R
Each player reveals cards from the top of their library until they reveal a creature card. If those creatures share a creature type each player may place those cards onto the battlefield under their owner’s control. If creatures revealed this way do not each share a creature type between them, Speed Dating deals damage to each player equal to the total of the mana costs of each card revealed this way. Each player shuffles their library.

Ugh, Fblthp would be SUCH a rules lawyer.
Just so you know, Bard isn't actually a creature type because Wizards hates all goodness in the world.

Re: MTG - You Make The Card VIII: Escape - Exile 7 MTG topics to create this thread
Spoiler: mythmonster2 recruiting 4 players for a Ravnica 5e gameEven understanding how clunky it is, I understand what's happening well enough to know why it's set up that way, and the silver-border context actually really helps; it turns, "we need to make sure you have a creature to sacrifice before ETB," into, "well, that one's the DM, so it has to do some setup first!"
Spoiler: ben-zayb with the 104-month resubFlavorfully, this somehow feels like a perfect Hearthstone card despite having exactly zero things to do with Hearthstone mechanics. Maybe it's the Leeroy reference? I'm pretty sure that the first ability does effectively nothing, even in multiplayer; the phrase, "bold to assume you could attack me in the first place," comes to mind. In the right deck, it might secretly be good enough with just the second ability, but you'd probably want to rework the group-hug aspect to make it more interesting.
Spoiler: Tom the Mime may and in fact I insist he doWeird card is weird. It's one of those things you have to read like three times to understand what you're supposed to do with it, which isn't necessarily bad! You can cash it in for one card right away, making this a quick discard-draw 2-for-1, or you can hold out until you can make your opponent discard something they don't want you to have and hope to get a third card out of the deal. Is that worth it? Probably not? It leaves me with the feeling that it's there just for the sake of being interesting, rather than for really rewarding a discard strategy.
Spoiler: Quiddle has strapped me to a rotating wheel and is now putting on a blindfoldHonestly, when I think of the phrase, "knife show," the first things that comes to mind are those kitchen cutlery demonstrations where they cut tomatoes and stuff. Maybe all the knife counters are coming from the audience, then; they keep getting more and more restless as they have to sit through the ads.
I can see how it's good in the Spectacle deck. At first I misread it as only hitting players, and even then I thought it might have its uses in constructed. 'Any target,' more justifies paying life and mana, but makes me a little nervous for the limited environment it ends up in. It could also be good for that, though! Maybe there aren't a ton of good targets for it, or maybe there are a ton of targets and this is necessary to help keep them in check.
Spoiler: Necroticplague is itFirst reaction: "Huh????"
I actually don't know whether the game has a mechanism in place to make this work. A creature knows when it becomes the target of something, so this could certainly have worked as some kind of triggered effect, but can a creature really sense that something is in, like, a static state of targeting it? Is that a real thing?
Also, my understanding of Tag is that, upon declaring someone, "It," one abdicates the title and may once again count oneself among the non-It players. This version seems to be of a variant where one is exiled in the end either way.
Spoiler: Laughing Dog's got a style that's the talk of the town
Spoiler: mystic1110 only dates other rabbit/wraith gestaltsThis feels like a commander or two-headed giant card, but would those games require that all four revealed cards share a type? And that they otherwise just explode everyone for four creatures' costs worth of damage?
...
I guess that's what we get for speed dating during a pandemic.
Spoiler: Personification can take or leave it if they pleaseA must-kill creature in a board stall, certainly. I guess it's a rare mostly for the use of Xes, since it's not fast enough for constructed. The Exert kind of unnecessarily limits which sets it can go in; I doubt most people will use this expecting the game to last another turn.
Spoiler: Kapow brought the popcorn
I think the result might be a tie??? Judging this round was really fun in general, actually.
SpoilerIt's between mythmonster2 and Quiddle this time. They have kind of opposite relative merits in my mind... hmm...
Spoiler: okay I picked a winner after allQuiddle's knife show!
I'm willing to admit that I decided this by scrolling back through the last thread and seeing who hasn't won most recently.Last edited by Dr.Gunsforhands; 2020-12-12 at 02:37 AM.
