Making Custom Decks - Together... (Ongoing)
=Introduction=
There have been loadsa contests involving making a deck right - some out of custom cards, some out of real cards, some out of certain cards, some using cards made by yourself, others using cards made by other people...But this contest is different, oh so different - and will probably end in complete chaos, like any of those 'work together' kinda contests. You create a card, the mention how many copies of this card the deck will need - until, finally, we have a deck of custom cards made for and by the community!
=The Contest=
The first person will create a card (making sure it's balanced and preferably not in too many colors), of any card type (land, instant/sorcery, creature, enchantment, artifact, planeswalker...) and post it here, also listing how many copies of that card this deck is to run - remembering this is meant to be a sixty card deck with a maximum of four of each card. The next person will make a card which could go with the first card in a deck together (and so on and so on, making sure the cards made fit the deck). Eventually, we will be left with a sixty-card fully complete deck!
=Examples=
Since the whole contest may be a bit hard to grasp for you, I've provided some examples:
Let's say the first person posted Throne of Benevolence. The next person, say, could make another kinda-hatebeary card. Then, the next person could come with another hatebear-ish weenie. The deck is already taking shape, into a kind of weenie death and taxes deck.
=Dese Da Rulz=
1. Must be NEW cards and ORIGINAL (created for this contest).
2. No OVERPOWERED cards (preferably) ask me if it's overpowered or not if you want and I will judge.
3. I reserve the privilege to delete (reject) ANY card you entered to keep the deck going.
4.No SPAMMING entries.
5. Don't purposely ruin the deck.
6. Have fun!
=Prizes=
When each deck is finished, people who created a card for that deck may request a card for me to favorite. I will also follow you if you keep on making cards, and fave any cards I like (as always).

The first person can make and post any card, too. If you need any questions answered, just ask me.
And it's flip side:
Protocol: When (creature of the same type) or (creature under this ones command) enters the battlefield, do X.
This mechanic is based off of tribes that relate to the Protocol creature.
This would create demon and imp tribal deck that swarms the battlefield and dies a lot, both removing counters from the portal.
Despite this being legendary, running 4 is best so drawing into it early is easier, since late game top decking this isn't the best to do.
I hope it isn't too powerful, but I think it makes a lot of sense. To get this strong creature out, you generally want to play a bunch of weak creatures, and demons and imps are going to be the target tribe for your itty bitty army.

A 4 of, because you want one in your opening hand and she would become a welcome draw late game, swinging in for a collective 3 damage, triggering Protocol and getting spawn counters off Portal of Wrath with the Imp.
So far looks like a R/B aggro-ish demon and imp tribal!
I thought about it, but considering you can get rid of Haena for one mana, it seems ok. She demands an answer from your opponent regardless of toughness.
We need a lightning bolt in this deck, so I made YABV (Yet Another Bolt Variant)
Ball Lightning Variant-ish
You are. But how many copies of each card you made are we running?
A removal spell while only being good or great in a deck like this. Keep in mind it's the quantity of creatures, not CMC, power or anything like that. So I think this thing is pretty balanced. Might want to run 2-3 because it may vary on how effective you are at getting a bunch of creatures.
You would want 4 of these if your doing tribal, to buff all of your other creatures. Can also be a 3-mana shock for creatures if need be.

If you are ever in need of something to search up.
Fast, demonic removal on a stick that kills your own creatures.
Yeah. @mellenius, I;m afraid your card is not going in this deck.

Since I don't think the current deck is going anywhere, someone can feel free to start a new one. Please clarify whether your card is going in the new or old deck.
And old cards are now allowed.

Sorry, but neither of those are really good enough, having grammar and wording issues
Although the wording is a bit off, seems really cool!
