Tuesday Tumult

Introduction...


I got a feeling this is gonna be a loud one. I've been watching a bunch of videos where gamers or whatever try to do the craziest and wackiest or most impossible things in the game... and they're quite entertaining. So I thought, "This is 100% integratable into our beloved card creation website."

This is probably the craziest idea I've had, but I'm 99% certain it'll work and offer up pure entertainment and one truly challenging form of a contest for everyone. This might be the single most unusual concept I've ever had, and of course it makes sense as a once a week thing. So here we go.

How it works.


  1. To participate, submit one challenge per week. You can do so in this thread by commenting your challenge for all to see, or you can remain anonymous and message me your challenge.
  2. Give your challenge a name. Something that really gives it a personality.
  3. On Tuesdays, I'm going to shuffle all the challenges I've received and assign them to everyone who submitted (at random).
  4. You'll have approx 1 week to submit an entry for your challenge. You can do so in this thread by commenting your card for all to see, or you can remain anonymous and message me your creation.
  5. Then the judges will pick the winners. If you want to judge this contest, you can message me!


Here's the catch.

The challenges we all submit must be either or both:
  • IMPOSSIBLY difficult
  • Rule-breakingly, or unrealistically difficult


Understanding the catch.


If you're confused as to what would be an acceptable challenge, GOOD! Part of this contest is the challenge of pushing our limits to the extreme and seeing what we are capable of doing, as well as not taking it too far... Which brings me to the last piece of this funshow...

The Slap System


Everyone gets precisely one slap per week. You may slap one challenge per week. When you slap a challenge, the creator of said challenge must submit a new challenge. The slap system is intended to keep everyone relatively tame and prevent the inclusion of challenges that simply should not exist. Use your slap wisely. Reserve them only for challenges that simply make no sense whatsoever to you. There's going to be a lot of crazy, wicked, and nearly mindblowing challenges. Lastly, you cannot slap a challenge once it has been assigned.

    Counterspell Confusion

    Create a card that counters itself.

  • AboveAndAboutAboveAndAbout
    Sprinkle on Top

    Create a multicolored instant that puts counters on an enchantment you don't control.
  • feralitatorferalitator
    Can challenges require multiple cards that are related?

    If so:

    Intertwining Divinity

    Create two planeswalkers or one planeswalker and one legendary creature that meld into a non-eldritch god creature. (two characters that merge into a divine being, not fusing into an unholy mass of flesh.)
  • TheDukeOfPorkTheDukeOfPork

    Face down on concrete


    Create a aura card that enters the battlefield face down as a copy of target creature your opponents control.

  • TheDukeOfPorkTheDukeOfPork
    Also, ver cool concept idea.

    Sidewinding
    Create an aura that enchants itself.
    Jug Phase
    Create a card that makes 0/0 colourless Jug creature tokens.
  • jpastorjpastor
    Sidewinding or Jug Phase @KorandAngels?
  • jpastorjpastor
    These are all basically awesome. I was trying to quietly fall asleep when I LOL'd at Counterspell Confusion and Face Down on the Concrete
  • TheRacingTurtleTheRacingTurtle
    Cool idea, can't wait to have it kick me in the butt :smile:

    Picky Pacifist
    Create a creature with Defender and base power 0, that does not have a way to remove Defender from itself, and has an ability that triggers when it deals combat damage to a player.
  • Red_TowerRed_Tower
    Reluctant King of the Bouncy Castle
    Create a legendary creature that:
    1. "Wins" you the game if it enters the battlefield 10 or more times
    2. Can't "flicker" itself - including exiling or back to hand
    Maybe not too difficult, but should be fun I think.
  • TheRacingTurtleTheRacingTurtle
    Reluctant King of the Bouncy Castle is by far my favourite name so far.
  • KorandAngelsKorandAngels
    The first one is better.
  • TheRacingTurtleTheRacingTurtle
    Hmm, Suduko Minimalism is also great. Coming up with the name will probably be my favourite part of this.
  • jpastorjpastor
    I'll be so upset if I get my own challenge LOL.
  • TheDukeOfPorkTheDukeOfPork
    Jeez, my one is easy.
  • feralitatorferalitator
    Mine might be on the harder side because it requires multiple cards.
  • TheDukeOfPorkTheDukeOfPork
    Next time I'll make it better. I just thought that name was funny.

    I almost forgot about the name, had the basic idea for the challenge, started writing it out, and realized I didn't have a name and it just came to me haha
    Will also try to make a tougher challenge next time too.
  • WarriorCatInAhatWarriorCatInAhat
    my challenge isn't that hard it's just... weird
  • ThePhantomJokerThePhantomJoker
    Alright, I'll put a challange here as well. Beware the...

    Stranger Strangers
    Create a card that refferences three creature types that have absolutely nothing to do with each other. The card must not be a simple boring "lord".

    I know it's not really "impossible" but I think it will be fun, especially making the card make sense.
  • jpastorjpastor
    Love it!

    Sub Zero wins, fatality!
    Create a creature with negative toughness that can survive on its own without the assistance of any other cards.  It can't enter the battlefield with any counters and it can't have any static toughness-boosting or stat-resetting abilities that applies to itself.  It also has to be a creature at all times.
  • JadefireJadefire
    Sorry @feralitator I gotta slap a challenge that requires triple the work of other challenges.
  • jpastorjpastor
    I was thinking about slapping that one too @Jadefire
  • feralitatorferalitator

    Ok, then how about

    Counting Counters
    Create a card that puts three or more different types of counters on permanents (not players), other than common counters such as +1/+1, -1/-1, and loyalty counters. It can either put them on itself (if you make a permanent), or on other cards. (No proliferate.)
  • JadefireJadefire
    That's a good one, I like it.
  • feralitatorferalitator
    I do have another idea that could require a second card if the person goes with a creature transforming, but it could also go with just a changing creature type and power/toughness route if they don't want to find another piece of art. I'm mainly just gonna say this here so I can probably remember my idea for next week.

    (Definitely not a hint)

    Here's my card for Counterspell Confusion by @WarriorCatInAhat

    https://mtgcardsmith.com/view/asteroids-everywhere

  • feralitatorferalitator
    Here's mine. I did slightly change the wording on the mechanic that I picked so that it would say "under your control", just to make it a bit more balanced.
