@Faiths_Guide Volcanic Reshaping http://mtgcardsmith.com/view/volcanic-reshaping In a kitchen table game, this would probably devastate everyone but you. It's easy to work around since you know it's coming. Get to 6 mana and hold land until you're ready to cast it. Everyone else usually plays every land they draw.
Reality Splicer http://mtgcardsmith.com/view/reality-splicer-4 For 5 mana total you can have a hand full of Eldrazi and drop them all, plus they have shroud. It gives other players a chance to randomly have an answer. The shroud is there for flavor, but would be hard for players to track as turns go on. It's an interesting card but would be easy to break.
Everfade http://mtgcardsmith.com/view/everfade Good name and fun with fading! The third ability shouldn't be triggered since it's a state. If it has no fade counters, how many times will it trigger before anyone can take an action? I'd rather it be triggered by fading death. "When Everfade dies, if it was sacrifice for having no fade counters.." I like the mind game in each opponent's upkeep.
Detonation Twins http://mtgcardsmith.com/view/detonation-twins Fun card! Goblins and coinflipping! The chance to destroy all other creatures is strong, but the drawback for failure is harsh enough to make you think about it first. Good one!
Onyx Scalekeeper http://mtgcardsmith.com/view/onyx-scalekeeper Good for a morph/manifest deck. The effect that if any player has more creatures than you, everyone loses their face-up creatures is powerful and strategic.
@M15Cardmaker Sudden Plague http://mtgcardsmith.com/view/sudden-plague Usually a sorcery, but some green makes it really Sudden. Nice flavor with the Reaper token!
Suspended in Time http://mtgcardsmith.com/view/suspended-in-time-1 It wouldn't affect many creatures as written since very few have three time counters on them. The wording should be "Exile all creatures, then put three time counters on each of those creature cards." Flavorful that everything is suspended then will all suddenly come back with haste, but mechanically it would be one player at at time getting his team.
@SpellPiper2213 Unstoppable Waves http://mtgcardsmith.com/view/unstoppable-waves?list=user Very much out of blue's abilities, but great flavor that flyers and swimmers survive! The waves overwhelm almost everything. It seems like Islands would be the first lands destroyed in an epic tsunami though
World's End http://mtgcardsmith.com/view/worlds-end-storm?list=user Out of color for green to be destroying all creatures but this it a good way to do it. Uncounterable, special hate for flyers, and the land takes time to recover.
@strongbelieves Reinstate Guildpact Law http://mtgcardsmith.com/view/reinstate-guildpact-law?list=user Fun with a two color deck. Azorius for the win!
@Corwinnn Bad Wish http://mtgcardsmith.com/view/bad-wish-1?list=user Great card! Balanced for the colors, interesting effects, major implications for gameplay!
Destroyer of the Universe http://mtgcardsmith.com/view/destroyer-of-the-universe-1 How cute! "No, don't pet it! It's a furry! Aaagh!"
@fraziel07 False Savior//Harbinger of the Damned http://mtgcardsmith.com/view/false-savior?list=user
http://mtgcardsmith.com/view/harbinger-of-the-damned?list=user The "if" condition should be Whenever so it has a proper time to trigger. It's not clear how the ability happens as is. The mana cost is fine given what it transforms into, but on its faceup side the ability is really weak for the cost.
Shipwreck http://mtgcardsmith.com/view/shipwreck-2?list=user Very interesting. It's got precedent in Karn Liberated and would follow many of the same rules. I could see games going for hours with this, and players getting shipwrecked over and over.
Xenophobia http://mtgcardsmith.com/view/xenophobia-1?list=user Great name and flavor!
@galaspark Ancient Destruction http://mtgcardsmith.com/view/ancient-destruction Wipeout! Total boardwipe except for regenerators and indestructible. 9 mana is a good cost for this effect.
@Blackshadow415 Heroic Sacrifice http://mtgcardsmith.com/view/heroic-sacrifice-6?list=user Good flavor, shooting down your own creature to kill multiples of opponents'. Since the sacrifice is of a target creature, they can kill it in response to prevent the whole thing. The X creatures part isn't clear whether they're chosen at resolution.
Rewrite the Timeline http://mtgcardsmith.com/view/rewrite-the-timeline?list=user Phyrexian mana can be paid in life. So for 5 mana of any color and 6 life, I can exile everything that other players control, keep all of my stuff AND take an extra turn. Completely broken.
Worldly Purification http://mtgcardsmith.com/view/worldly-purification?list=user A huge hate for Phyrexian mana cards, but only for those. The clause about putting permanents on the field doesn't work since that counts cards exiled by the Purification and it doesn't exile anything. I'm guessing "Destroy" should read "Exile"
@AustinSmith Vennon of the Black Path http://mtgcardsmith.com/view/vennon-of-the-black-path-1?list=user Good spin on March of Souls and Kirtar's Wrath. Nice tension that an opponent gets half the Spirits.
@Blahb_8D Everyone Died No comment since the card has been removed.
@LONEvvolf Echos of Wrath http://mtgcardsmith.com/view/echos-of-wrath?list=user More fun with fading!
Heavenbreaker http://mtgcardsmith.com/view/heavenbreaker?list=user That's an odd cost for a Legendary Equipment. It makes one of your creatures super-powerful but kills your other creatures in the process.
@Zendikarincarnate Evil Praying http://mtgcardsmith.com/view/evil-praying The restriction that it be played only on your turn makes it useless for blocking, so it's only meant for attacks. What is "lethal damage" though? The amount needed to overcome the blocker's toughness, or any damage that kills the creature which would be
1 since it has deathtouch. What if the blocker regenerates, was it still "lethal damage?"
@Shadikal Dictate of Emergence http://mtgcardsmith.com/view/dictate-of-emergence-1?list=user Since it only affects your opponents, it's a one-sided one-third Wrath for you and your team. If they conspire and have enough votes, they can have someone put an empty pile and enough vote on that so it has no effect.
@emmastone Visions Became Blurred http://mtgcardsmith.com/view/visions-became-blurred?list=user For 2 green mana you exile every creature. Everyone getting 6 elves at that cost is also overpowered even with no creatures to exile.
Mathematical Possibility http://mtgcardsmith.com/view/mathematical-possibility A 4/3 flyer for 3 mana is undercosted. Is the exile ability meant to cost the player 3 life to keep all his permanents, or 3 life for each?
Spinning Web of Chaos http://mtgcardsmith.com/view/spinning-web-of-chaos Kills everyones hand, lands, and creatures, leaving them with only some Spiders. It's undercosted for the effects. I like the name and flavor text.
Quintessential Maneuver http://mtgcardsmith.com/view/quintessential-maneuver 3/7 flyer for 5 mana is already strong. I don't see blue and green as mass creature and planeswalker removal, but the lifegain for exiled cards is nice.
Unstoppable Extinction http://mtgcardsmith.com/view/unstoppable-extinction 5 mana to exile all creatures and planeswalker is fine, the clause to pay life for a creature cheats a cost - like you'd hold onto a big Eldrazi and do this, probably with discard to keep your opponents from taking advantage of it. Why is it an instant though? That makes it a combat trick, and your fattie gets virtual haste with no blockers by casting this at the end of the last player's turn.
David vs Goliath http://mtgcardsmith.com/view/david-vs-goliath I'm not getting the feel of the name. Mechanically it works that if it's about to die anyone can return it to your hand, but they can't respond to a sacrifice so that would wreck the concept.
@Flatfish Flowstone Transformation http://mtgcardsmith.com/view/flowstone-transformation-1?list=user Fun with high toughness team. The nonland clause could also set up a good land-creature based deck.
Nihilism http://mtgcardsmith.com/view/nihilism-3 A comedy card. Removes the game. It would actually work in my Crossover Chaos home game since everyone would get another deck and continue play, except for the "burn the cards" part. The players can think about death all they want, but burning the cards is against the rules. I printed those cards and made most of them.
@Phelgming Growing Animosity http://mtgcardsmith.com/view/growing-animosity Good name, art and flavor text. I like the counters too since it's literally the last Straw!
Dimension Snare http://mtgcardsmith.com/view/dimension-snare It's missing a return clause so nothing happens when it leaves. It needs to say "Return those creature cards to the battlefield under their owner's control."
@truth285 Nature's Retribution http://mtgcardsmith.com/view/natures-retribution?list=user Out of color for green to be exiling cards and all permanents. The life totals being 1 is like a meaner Biorhythm.
@Zombieswithjetpacks Cessation Amalgamation http://mtgcardsmith.com/view/cessation-amalgamation Why is a black card giving everyone green Oozes?
@Damnation Dragontide http://mtgcardsmith.com/view/dragontide-2?list=user It's fun having an extra ability affecting Commander games. Even without a commander present, it's a double Time Ebb for your opponents.
Reference Banisher Priest and Banishing Light which only use reminder text. Also reference Quarantine Field which has no reminder text.
I suppose I could have used reminder text, but the lack of it doesn't prevent Dimension Snare from working as it should.
@starwars05 True Chaos http://mtgcardsmith.com/view/true-chaos-1 The abilities are all red, so why is overload cost all five colors? If it is overloaded, the +3/+0 will only matter to creatures that can survive 5 damage so I'd expect a high toughness deck.
@milanaarz Righteous Eradication http://mtgcardsmith.com/view/righteous-eradication?list=set&set=2180 Selective counterspell and colorhoser. Interesting concept, and costed well for the effect.
@hannibal6 What Once Was http://mtgcardsmith.com/view/what-once-was Nicely done! Forces everyone to make a hard choice, or leaves them with no choice at all. Good for mid or late game.
@CrispyBacon42 Descending Meteor http://mtgcardsmith.com/view/descending-meteor-1?list=user For 3 total it deals 6 to all creatures plus they can't regenerate so its seriously undercosted. Inferno cost 5RR. The suspend 4 has no cost so this card can't be played that way. I'd like this better if it had no mana cost and the suspend cost were 1RR so it really gives the flavor of seeing a meteor coming.
Into Oblivion http://mtgcardsmith.com/view/into-oblivion-7?list=user For four white, you get to Oblivion Ring everything. The first ability needs the clause "as long as Into Oblivion remains on the battlefield." Otherwise, a bounce effect puts in back in your hand so the leaves play trigger happens before the enters play, resulting in it being in your hand for reuse while everything else is gone permanently. The second ability needs to be worded "all cards exiled this way" or it's not clear what nonland permanents are referred to. Like all of them from hands, graveyards and anywhere else, too.
Expose Turmoil http://mtgcardsmith.com/view/expose-turmoil?list=user Damage to everything if there's a planeswalker to kill. Unless you regularly face opponent's planeswalkers you'd have to pack some in your deck to make sure there will be one around.
Board Wipe http://mtgcardsmith.com/view/board-wipe-2?list=user Comedy card. No comment necessary. The flavor text is funny.
@viola I CAN't LOSE http://mtgcardsmith.com/view/i-cant-lose This will be a five mana spell normally since the phyrexian mana will be paying 10 life if you have at least 11. The resolution puts everyone at 20 but you will be at 30 so the life payment is almost immaterial. I like that the art features my friend Steven (known as Boogie) as his Youtube character Francis. He's a great guy and really funny.
