Complex Abilities Challenge!

Ok, so, I’ve never organized a challenge before. Let’s give it a shot!

Alrighty, let’s get right to it. I want you to make a card with at least two abilities that interact in some way. It can be a planeswalker, but the abilities themselves must interact, not just the loss/gain of loyalty counters. You may have multiple entries, but you’ll be judged on all of their shortcomings. For an example of what that would be like, here’s my card:

                                                                               
As you can see, all three abilities interact somehow. This is how I want you to build your cards!
Judging will be done on September 1st. Ok, go out and create, my fellow cardsmiths!

  • Normal question: Can you have an old card?

    Also, you don't specify how many entries we can have.

    @fire12 you can have any number of entries, but at least one must be new. (Sorry this is my first time doing this)

    Here are a couple of new cards:



    And a couple of old:



    Hope all of these fit the conditions except the one that isn't here any more because it didn't!

    These are going in my Ganleya politics set, where the Ganleya commander has an alternate win condition based on how many permanents you own that opponents control:

  • @MemoryHead I’m not so sure that Vile Supplanter fits, since you just put Entwine. But otherwise, those are really good! Honestly I’m not sure I’m cut out to judge this...
  • @RandomFandom Understandable, and it's the one I was most uncertain of as fitting. I'll take it out.

    Honorary Entry


    Please don't berate myself too much for how strong this is... (Subtype example such as Elf or Goblin. In this case I used a kind instead of a subtype for balancing reasons.)

    [Subtype] Offering (You may cast this card any time you could cast an instant by sacrificing a [Subtype] and paying the difference in mana costs between this and the sacrificed [Subtype]. Mana cost includes color.)

    ---
    You may cast creature spells as though they have nontoken creature offering.

    Whenever a nontoken creature enters the battlefield under your control during an opponent’s turn, you may draw a card.

    If a creature token would be created under your control, you may instead create a token that’s a copy of another creature you control, except it isn’t legendary and it gains “This creature’s abilities can’t create tokens.”

  • @murkletins If you don’t mind me asking, how did you make that card? I’ve been wanting to make borderless cards for a long time.
  • @RandomFandom
    Based on the set symbol, it looks like MSE or Magic Set Editor if I had to take a guess.
  • Iena Obscure Farseer
    I was looking at Precognition Field a few days ago and decided to do the exact opposite of it.
  • @RandomFandom
    Sorry was in talks about a Cardsmith Youtube channel possibility. Been focusing on that for a bit. And am hoping it happens.
  • It was a custom Godzilla template with various options selected so that it looks more appropriate for the type of card.

    I also added a partial frame to make printing of the card easier.
  • Especially, since I'm printing an actual deck for this commander card. And don't have experience with borderless cards.
  • Dark Pact Rakshasa
    No art for it right now but I wanted to make a deal with the devil type card draw engine.  I think of it like a crossroads demon that is always willing to grant your request, for a price.

    Extract (Whenever a creature dealt damage by this creature this turn dies, put a +1/+1 counter on this creature.)
