I like how this makes a Food token that doesn't give someone life, and instead screws them over. The ability itself seems well balanced and the card, power/toughness wise, is pretty good. I would perhaps make the token she creates a legendary, lest you pop a whole bunch of Cursed Goblets on one person, and they have to either sacrifice 5 creatures and lose 10 life... All during upkeep. Other than that, it's a pretty rad card. Keep it up.
Up next: Give one, or both, of these a Fave and/or leave feedback, then post up to two cards of your own.
@Revan I really like both cards but I do have constructive criticism for both * Lord Van - When referencing power or toughness mtg uses numeric characters (2), also the card is very very strong in multiplayer you might want to debuff it's triggered ability. * The Pumpkin - Just a small note I think it needs to be "up to X target lands" in the rare occasion where X is greater than the number of lands you control (plus it gives you an option to not use the ability)
@Shmoohawk Myself am gonna give feedback and favorite your card, because it is extremely creative.
Feedback: For the first ability, I'd replace it with the following alteration for balance concerns and better scaling.
The reasoning is you get a small buff, at the cost that it permanently increases Equipment costs.

@Murkletins The effect is very complicated; I can't see what anything on the first face does. The second face is a bit strange, with 2 custom mechanics. I don't think Selfless is a creature type either. (Also, I don't know if cards can detect what format you're playing.) Next up: And/Or
Add {b}{b}{b} OR (as Irencrag Feat puts it) Add three {b}. Spend this mana only to cast spells from your graveyard.
As for Boneyard Explorer, I don't think the ability works, since Adventure spells are exiled anyways once they resolve, and the creatures can be cast later from exile. I might propose something like this instead, considering Boneyard Explorer's CMC, rarity, and low p/t:
During each of your turns, you may cast a creature card that has an Adventure from your graveyard.
Here's mine. Post a comment on the card and/or favorite it if you like it before posting your card(s):
@Faiths_Guide I think Surly General is a good card with a unique ability, and I can't find a single thing you should change except just a semantic correction "remove an additional loyalty counter "from it"". I fav'd it because it's super creative.
@Shmoohawk I like the flavor of both cards, I think it is well executed. Lunce is interesting, giving away your cards to gain life, while at the same time giving your opponent(s) creatures and spells that can't hurt you. I don't necessarily play that way, but I can see it being very powerful.
Spiteful Thaumaturge is also interesting. Using this in combination with creature stealing spells and sacrificing is the way to go. Take a wizard, sacrifice it, do its action for FREE. intriguing concept.
What think ye of this: give it a fave and/or feedback, then post up to two of our own.
@Credius Seems like a very nice card in mono-white devotion deck.
Also, for the second ability, do you have to choose an opponent (in a 2 vs 2 game for example) or how? Plus repeated cheap enchantment tutoring at instant speed seems broken.
@shadow123 -Quieting dream: rly can't say much besides the fact that it is a solid blue instant, though the entwine is usually on green cards, it's not a bad fit for this one. -Death's Nocturne: Yes...just Yes xD I like it, the versatility, the looks, it's awesome.
@Tommyneko -Durga's protection: certainly befitting its mythic rare status, with a lot of positives to it. I like the variables given to it. -I like the custom mechanic, granting your opponents a bit of control over your actions...but just because of that, I'd lower the rating to rare rather than mythic.
@k4z3t5ub4k1 plz follow the rules as stated in the first post and constantly reminded to those that do not follow them. As a courtesy you should first comment or favorite the card of the cardsmith who posted before you.
The second one (Thundershot) uses art created by one of my friends. I didn’t put her last name on the card credit because she didn’t want me to, and I agree. I also feel like Prismatic Ascent could be too easily abused. Am I right?

I only lightly monitor this, you can make whatever changes you like.

How’s this? Is it too powerful? Does this work?

Favorited just because I fell for your trick with the link xD
Generally a nice card though.

Thundershot should be worded as "When that creature dies this turn, you draw three cards and lose 3 life."
