Mechanix Challenge - Eleven? Blast N(Whenever this creature attacks it deals N damage to each creature and player) is the blast mechanic.

20 mana 1/1 or 1 mana 20/20..... That was a contest XD

A terribly worded card, but it wasn't in any contest. The concept comes from a Modest Mouse song.

Squalor and Expulsion. They are both the same art, just different halves.

And then there's this cycle. Yeah, I hate myself for making these horrors of cards. Mainly the blue one.

I have more, but they're either nonsensical or just an awful card...

Imagine if the word exile was gone. Or destroy.
I still love the idea, but it desperately needs reworking to make it not gamebreaking by default.

(I have more ridiculous cards made because I used to not know what balance was xD Also, please ignore the messed up mana cost at the top, I used to think it didn't matter lol)

How crazy are some of these cards?

1) Totally useless with incredibly broken functionality
2) Obnoxious card. If you ever cast this in a game you will probably never get to play with that opponent again.
3) An omni board wipe that is also a Lord of Extinction with haste, indestructible and intimidate? Maybe if this cost around 15+ cmc, sure.
4) This is somehow even more OP than #3. No one has ever looked at Primeval Titan and said, "You know what? This should cost {2} colorless mana instead of {4}{g}{g}."
#1 is 'crazy' because it doesn't work and #3 and #4 are 'crazy' because of how overpowered and unprintable they are.
For some context, Lord of Extinction is almost a $20 card and it has about 10% the power of #3 and Primeval Titan has been printed three times, is banned in commander for being overpowered, and still costs around $8.50 each.
@strongbelieves knows more about balancing than I do so I'd probably listen to him (though I do wish he'd be a bit more diplomatic in his language - but, hey, that's his style). The Ways of War is probably the best card of the four, though I'd drop the madness and lifeloss elements. We've never had an 'exile all nonland permanents' spell before (the closest I can think of is Perilous Vault) so a card that simply did that would still be new and interesting without the other stuff.
I have another exile all creatures permanents but It has a downside. Here it is.

That's actually a really great card (alone and lost). Khans gave us Duneblast, which also does the "choose one creature, destroy the rest" effect. What makes your card better than that, in my opinion, is that it's versatile. Duneblast is 7 cmc with three colors in it. Yours is 5 cmc with just lack, meaning it would see play in multiple formats. But, your the emblem helps to justify this cost reduction; I can't get rid of all creatures except a giant creature, and then have immediate swing status. If anything, it might be as a 3bbb, but then again, I've never been good at hitting the cost on the head. But I definitely think that's a good, valuable card.
(I really like Alone and Lost.)
He should add this to all of his critique posts.
I agree with @RohanDragoon - great card!
