    Wording could be improved. I will try to help, though I make mistakes too:
    " Flying, Deathtouch
    When a creature dealt damage by Nug'teth this turn dies, that creature's controller reveals the top card of his or her library. If a creature card is revealed this way, exile it."
    This part simply doesn't work: "Any time a creature type identical to the exiled card is drawn, that player loses 5 life." There is no clause that forces any player to show you what card they've drawn, so how could you know? Nug'teth would need to have some text like "whenever a player draws a card, he or she reveals that card. If a creature card revealed this way shares a type with a card exiled by Nug'teth, that player loses 5 life."

    Overall, the card seems too wordy, and probably too powerful for the cost. An 8/7 with deathtouch and flying for 7cmc would be good without any other abilities. You probably will want to increase the cost of this card. Very cool design, just needs a bit of refinement, I think. Keep making these creative designs! :D

    Yeah, I see your point...

    Perhaps another opinion on a card?

    Again, the wording can be improved. I'll try it:
    "Hexproof, Flying
    When Flying Polyp enters the battlefield, other flying creatures lose flying and creatures without flying gain flying.
    At the beginning of each upkeep, creatures other than Flying Polyp with flying lose flying, and creatures without flying gain flying."

    That could be a LOT to keep track of, knowwhutImean?
  • MrRansomMrRansom
    It reads confusing, but in actuality, it just switches which creatures fly. Not so difficult, is it?
    I think this could be easily done by organizing the creatures into two distinct "piles" with Flying Polyp kept separate.
    Maybe I'm wrong.

    That's a good way to go about it.

    @RedRageMage Also, considering the complecity, I think Flying Polyp should at least be rare instead of uncommon.
