Advanced mana SYMBOLS!
When I was looking some of @Reizon's threads, I came up with these ideas:
-Machine mana symbol
({m} can be paid with one mana from an artifact.)
-Void mana symbols
({_/v} can be paid with either {_} or by exiling a ____ card from your hand.)
Then I thought what else everyone can come up with..
So here's the contest! Design some special mana symbols like snow, hybrid, phyrexian mana symbols!
All I need to know is the symbol's name and how it can be paid.
You don't need to make images of the symbols/cards. But if you want to explain your card idea, feel free to do it like this:
--------------------------
CARD NAME, Mana cost
Card type - Sub type, Rarity
TEXTS
[P/T]
--------------------------
Of course you can post images if you can create them. Sketches of the symbols are also welcome!
No limit of entries per person.
I will decide the deadline when this contest gets 3 submissions

({nl} can be paid with one mana from a nonland source.)
I'm trying to word it so that it doesn't restrict you to paying with permanents?
({cr} can be paid with one mana from a creature.)
80! {it's a spectrum number, and 80 is HUGE}
Can you post a link? The image won't pop up for me
You reckon a custom mana thread should be opened that functions in the same way as the Mechanic Encyclopedia for All thread?
({_/e} can be paid with either {_} or by returning a ____ enchantment you control to your hand.)
Sorry you can't see any of my symbols, but they aren't important (and they're ugly because I did them in MSPaint).
The mechanical function is all that matters.
I've already made them though...?
You said they are ugly so I am saying if you would like I can create more refined mana symbols for you
They'll work fine at the small scale. Again, the mechanics are what's important.
Opponents spells cost 1 more to cast for each of these in your mana pool.
@Faiths_Guide
Nice ideas!
The symbols look cool. But I would make the slash of the nonland symbol red, just my opinion.
@EnvyReaper
I'm not planning to make a thread for custom mana symbols. I'll just use the Mechanic Encyclopedia for All thread if I want to share.
@KorandAngels
The contest is about making new mana symbols. Not new mana with abilities. I don't think it's a good idea to give abilities to mana. The gameplay would become super complicated.
I made the slash white because I didn't want it to look like it required a specific color--like red--to pay.
({_/c} can be paid with either {_} or by removing a counter from you or a permanent you control.)
Oh, you changed the color of the slash to white. Nice!
Paying with counters is interesting too!
Yes. It was intentional that you could remove counters that were either positive or negative.
Thanks!
({_/r} can be paid with either {_} or by revealing a ____ card from your hand.)
Will most likely never become accessible. Unless @Tomigon knows something we don't!
Sorry, these are just what-ifs. But I'll post this to FAQ's and Common Suggestions thread.
