  In retrospect, should cost at least 1wwr. 3 mana total is too cheap even for a legendary.

  i think this is my worst card. the abilities i chose for it are too weak and too defined to offer any benefit beyond playing with it in one or two specific blocks.

  I made this card for the "Most Horrid Magic Card contest." I think the person that hosted the contest was looking for creepy cards. Somehow, I am still proud of the card, probably because it is the most screwed up card ever created on MTGCS

  I would say some of my first Planeswalkers were pretty terrible. They were Game of Thrones characters, the idea being each planeswalker was the leader of a Great House (Stark, Bolton, Lannister, etc). The problem was that I made the cards cost way too much to play and their abilities were subpar at best. I have honed my craft since then and believe I now make much better cards.

  Absolutely messed up on this one. Should have "doesn't untap during untap phase" and return lands instead of destroy:
  
  
  
  One day I am going to fix it!

  I have a series of Demons I made for a set way back near when I first started that I especially despise, but haven't gone back to...

  Every time I think about restarting, I think of these and I get sad inside...

  I've actually deleted the card I posted since I started this topic! I felt I should post a new one:
  
  I made this card as a reward card for a contest I held a looooooong time back. I was kind of restrained by the fact that it was supposed to be part of a cycle another cardsmith was working on and I like what it does thematically but it does two things I don't like. The first is that it has an ability that triggers when it 'would be' removed from the battlefield and then prevents it from being removed. Obviously there's plenty of design space for new ideas (that's the whole point of this site!) but preventing removal from the battlefield is something that would require a whole chapter in the official rule book.
  
  The second thing it does that I don't like is it uses rounding... For the wrong reason. Generally effects should be static (even a card with a variable cost normally produces a static effect) and I made it cut the ability in half and round it down to temper its power. I probably should have looked for another way to balance it or changed the ability itself.

  I don't know what my worst is but it is probably one of these:

  Very OP

  This was made for a dice roll, but even for dice roll it's really bad

  First try at a custom mechanic. Complete fail.

  Another very OP card
  
  I have other bad cards but these are the worst.

  @strongbelieves: That doesn't look so bad. I'm actually trying out the "stay on the battlefield" concept myself with Big Damn Heroes and Devoted Protection.

  One of my first serious card was such a disaster. I made it right when I started to play...http://mtgcardsmith.com/view/phyxras-lord-of-the-sea?list=user
  
  Off-color, 7 mana and a creature for a +1/+1 counter,etc.
