Refraction (Whenever this creature becomes the target of a spell or ability, you may pay {2}. If you do, copy that spell or ability. You may choose new targets for the copy.)
Root by Credius, modified by TheMechanix
Root (Whenever you cast a green spell, you may pay {g}. If you do, create a 0/1 green Plant creature token.)
Bloodlust by Nanosaurus
Bloodlust N (Whenever a creature dies, this creature gets +N/+0 until end of turn.)
--TheMechanix version
Bloodlust N (Whenever a creature is dealt damage, this creature gets +N/+0 until end of turn.)
Linger by KrampisZman
Linger N (When this creature dies, create N 1/1 white spirit creature tokens with flying.)
--TheMechinx version
Linger (When this creature dies, you may exile it. If you do, create a token that's a copy of it, except it's 1/1, it's a Spirit in addition to its other types, and it has flying.)
Lavatouch by Ranshi922
Lavatouch (Whenever this creature deals damage to a creature, destroy that creature. Then add {r}. You don't lose this mana as steps and phases end.)
--TheMechanix version
Lavatouch N (Whenever this creature deals damage to a creature, put N -1/-1 counters on that creature. Then add {r}. You don't lose this mana as steps and phases end.)
--Faiths_Guide's version
Lavatouch (This deals damage to creatures in the form of -1/-1 counters. Whenever it does, add {r}. You don't lose this mana as steps and phases end.)
Territorial by Mnemosyne, edited by TheMechanix
Territorial (Whenever another creature enters the battlefield, this creature fights that creature. When that creature dies this turn, put a basic land card onto the battlefield tapped from your library, then shuffle.)
Drain by Superman101
Drain N (Whenever a creature dealt damage by this creature this turn dies, put N +1/+1 counters on this creature.)
Oblation by MagicChess
Oblation (Whenever another creature you control dies, you may sacrifice this creature. If you do, return that creature to the battlefield tapped.)
Headhunter by unicornsareevil13579
Headhunter (Whenever this creature attacks, target legendary creature defending player controls blocks this creature if able.)
Deranged by Tomigon, concept by @DoctorFro
Deranged N (At the beginning of your upkeep, flip N coins. This creature gets +1/-1 for each coin that comes up heads until your next turn.)
Blight by LeviathanSoul
Blight (Whenever a creature blocks this creature, this creature gets +1/+1 until end of turn and the blocking creature gets -1/-1 until end of turn.)
Freezing strike by Mila
Freezing strike (Whenever this creature blocks or becomes blocked by a creature, tap that creature. It doesn't untap during its controller's next untap step.)
--Modified by TheMechanix
Freezing strike (Whenever this creature deals damage to a creature, tap that creature. It doesn't untap during its controller's next untap step.)
NAME IDEAS: "Frosttouch", "Freezing touch", "Frost strike", "Frost aura"
Lavatouch N (Whenever this creature deals damage to a creature, put N -1/-1 counters on that creature. Then add {r}. You don't lose this mana as steps and phases end.)
Also note, as currently worded, this means that the creature is dealing both normal damage and N "wither" damage. Please design accordingly.
Get it?
Because you said...
Oh...
wait...
If you have to explain the joke...
Nevermind… Of course you can!
@Faiths_Guide... better?
If you're going to take the step to put "instead" (which I prefer), the wording could be cleaner:
Lavatouch (This deals damage to creatures in the form of -1/-1 counters. Whenever it does, add {r}. You don't lose this mana as steps and phases end.)
Now it is Wither with perks.
Utilizing Drain by @Superman101.
And Root by @Credius, modified by @TheMechanix
Lavatouch edited!
Here's the revised N version for TheMechanix:
Lavatouch N (If this would deal damage to a creature, you may add {r} and put N -1/-1 counters on that creature instead. You don't lose this mana as steps and phases end.)
Personally I like the no-N version.
I think we can add all versions of lavatouch to the list and let participants decide which one to use!
