    Using Trio by @fullmetalryuzaki:
    Trio (You can have three commanders if each has trio.)

    image
  • Sure, why not. I'll make a set of Trio commanders.
    imageimageimage

    These guys care about tapping stuff. The deck these guys would commandeer will make you have no friends at the table.

    Made for @Faiths_Guide in the Cardsmiths' Cardsmiths contest, and it works here!

    Here is my first entry and I had a weird thought... but here it is.

    for mtgcardsmith

    I have nothing against mtgcardsmith it was just how the card turned out using Kefka and my thought of a MAD MAGICIAN because the flavor text I wanted but couldn't fit said this. (Plus he is the GOD of the site. ^w^)

  • @Corwinn

    A few questions:
    1) Can we change the name of a mechanic?
    2) Can we make minor changes to the reminder text of the Mechanix?
    3) Can we use the mechanic on a card but not name it?
  • Using Rush by @MaverickGV:
    Rush [Cost] (You may cast this spell for its rush cost. If you do, it gains haste. Sacrifice it at the beginning of the next end step.)

    @TemurGideon thanks for the editing tip!

  • edited August 2018
    Is Two-Faced considered a triggered or static ability? And could I have one on the original card and other on the transformed card--and be viable?
  • edited August 2018
    @snow601
    Two-Faced is static. A triggered ability uses the words "when," "whenever," or "at." ( http://gatherer.wizards.com/Pages/Card/Details.aspx?multiverseid=370670 )

    Sorry, I don't quite understand the 2nd question..
    Here's an example of Two-Faced:
    https://mtgcardsmith.com/view/pegasus-of-cleansing-light
    https://mtgcardsmith.com/view/plagued-pegasus
    It counts as one entry. You need to create both sides on MtGCardsmith, and post those links here. The site doesn't have borders for transform cards yet, so we just use normal borders without mana cost to make a flip side.
