Make a new "Keyword Action" !!!

Animist

Another example, playing around with the Withdraw mechanic

stormbreath

@milanaarz I still see no instants or sorceries, like this http://mtgcardsmith.com/view/watchfulness
this is an example that you should try to duplicate for hinder. It would truly make hinder a keyword action.

Yay!

@Omega that's an ability.

Comic_Book_Joker

I think I did this right. Could you let me know?

Edit: Here's the revised version. Glad I caught that huge error in the reminder text before anyone looked at it.

Thanks for your entry

@Comic_Book_Joker Check out my comment on your card.

stormbreath

also, @patrickammons, I think that guide is a keyword ability, not an action.

milanaarz

@stormbreath I forgot to post this card : http://mtgcardsmith.com/view/frostbind-1?list=user
Here, the hinder ability is at least as important as the tap ability.
And I don't want make instant with it, because since it is "until your next turn", it can be a bit confusing. It is like detain, only sorcery speed (except guildmage) , but definitly a keyword action.

stormbreath

@milanaarz just saying, instant speed can be good for suprising people(maybe play one in respone to a creature to increase the casting cost beyond what they can pay)

Grimbeetle's Command

I was making it, and ran out of room, and so I thought "Well, this is what keyword actions are for!" So yeah.
To apparate a card, put it on top of its owner's library (from whatever zone it is currently in), then shuffle that library. Named after my Greater Apparator, which was themed after a card I don't remember the name of.

I have no idea if I've done these correctly after reading the above comments. But I'm gonna drop them off here anyways. If I don't qualify, then that's fine. I'll understand.

The first is for all you Artifact lovers out there. Konklekt is all about making your tapable creatures or other artifacts into useful mana makers.

Next, we have something for those of you that have a ton of creatures sitting around and doing nothing! Let them break the line of defense when you go in for the attack.

Lastly, an Eldrazi with mechanic that would make you want to consider mixing allies and slivers into the mix. "I'll work with you, but we don't have to be friends.."

CrucibleOfHate

@hothmagoth You actually read everything, understood it, saw that your entries didn't work, and posted them anyway? I like you.

stormbreath

@homagoth I honestly think that you are being very brave. a way to fix diplomancy would be to find ways to put it on instants/sorceries(it can go on any card if it can go on an instant or sorcery)if not one of thouse, then try to make equipment based around it.(I would also change it to{creatures you control that do not have this creature type are treated as if they have all the creature types of this creature.

Tomigon

@hothmagoth If you made a card for this challenge, you can post it here. It's ok to be wrong. Sometimes you might get good constructive feedbacks from like-minded people (You've already got one from stormbreath.) I'll tell you if your cards aren't qualify. But this time CrucibleOfHate and stormbreath were faster than me

Your submission aren't qualify. But your harmony ability is very interesting!
I think my 3rd comment on page 1 is telling the concept in the most specific way…(I'm not good at English, so sorry if there are something wrong.)

I'll put a link to gamepedia again. This is where I learned what Keyword-Action is.

Corwinnn

@hothmagoth... I did the same thing! Here is my first attempt...
http://mtgcardsmith.com/view/bog-bride
As you can see I worded it as an ABILITY and not as an ACTION!
Here is the remake, using help from @CrucibleOfHate's advice (and wording magic)

Deadline is tomorrow!

All current entries that are qualified for this challenge are temporally in my alt account's favorite.

CrucibleOfHate

@Tomigon ...Thousand Cherry Blossoms?

Tomigon

@CrucibleOfHate
Yes! How do you know that? Are you taking Japanese class?

stormbreath

@Tomigon- if you read Bleach(name of manga), you know that it is a signituare move of one of the most powerful characters in the story.

Tomigon

@stormbreath Yeah I've been practicing that skill for about 120 years
Hahaha, I know people somehow learn that word from Japanese pop culture. There's also a song with that title!

By the way did you read my comment on your card? The card is qualified as is because I can understand what it does, but you can remake it if you want.

CrucibleOfHate

@Tomigon Japanese ain't available here, unfortunately (the only languages I have interest in learning are Latin and Japanese, and both require special classes that I would have to pay tons of money for).

No, I just watched Bleach.

seaspray4TF3

A little unsure about this one... haha.
Aversion to Annihilation

Tomigon

@seaspray4TF3
Hahaha, really cool spell. But It's not an action. It's a static ability.

stormbreath

@Tomigon the keyword functions like I want it to. I wrote down a discription of what it does for you to look at. here is a card that may further clarify what happens: http://mtgcardsmith.com/view/mind-sculpt-2
as you can see, purge is a useful keyword.

Tomigon

@stormbreath I didn't say I can't understand the function. I just wanted to make sure if you read my comment. It said about the use of colon, capitalizing and italicizing. Sorry for being nagging It's ok if you don't want to remake.

hothmagoth

@crucibleofhate - Thanks man, like I said, I had no idea if was making it correctly or not, figured "eh, if it's wrong, i'm the dummy and that's fine" and posted it anyways lol

@stormbreath - Thank you for the suggestions! I'll look into correcting these things!

@tomigon - No problem, thanks for being kind to me in my inability to read rules correctly! I'm glad this community is actually kind to newbies.

stormbreath

sorry, if you can understand it then that's enough for me @Tomigon

Judging has begun.

http://mtgcardsmith.com/view/keyword-action
^These are all keyword actions submitted to this challenge. I fixed wordings of a few of them, so please check out if yours is written in the way you want it to function. Let me know if I'm wrong.

If there's no mistake, I'm going to paste all of them to Mechanic Encyclopedia for ALL. LOL!!! (If you don't want to share yours, let me know.)
http://forums.mtgcardsmith.com/discussion/225/mechanic-encyclopedia-for-all/p1

Judging is also based on the power balance of the card. So just because you didn't win, it doesn't mean your keyword action is not good!
