@Corwinn It doesn't work like that. It only happens when damage somehow gets rendered irrelevant without being prevented, which means that it doesn't do anything except trigger/set off abilities. As far as I'm aware, it can only happen when an effec…
-
@Faiths_Guide I was basically trying to make sense of a potential source of confusion. I looked at the rules for prevention effects, and they say nothing about damage that gets converted into an inapplicable form.
-
My next mechanic isn't so much a mechanic as a gap in the official rules. Namely, what happens if damage is somehow avoided without technically being prevented? In this post, I explore this gap in the rules and try to figure out what happens if the …

All right, time to show off some tweaks. Tweaked Card Idea 1: Devoted Protection Cost: 2WW Type: Enchantment - Aura Rarity: Uncommon Rules text: Enchant creature or planeswalker Flash Champion a creature (When this enters the battlefield, sacrific…
-
Well, for Untaintable Being, I feel that outright making it so that only positive modifiers to power or toughness apply to a creature it enchants, while certainly simpler to implement, would be a little broken. So what I actually want it to do is pr…

On second thought, Punished Wolf looks like a weaksauce Furnace of Rath. Its only redeeming factor is the triple damage thing. A better candidate is Bowser, Star Eater. Red-black decks tend to suck at stalling, so a 5-mana drop is a tall order, and…

@strongbelieves: That doesn't look so bad. I'm actually trying out the "stay on the battlefield" concept myself with Big Damn Heroes and Devoted Protection.

I tried coining a mechanic called "rainbow mana", which would be mana that counted as all colors simultaneously but only 1 mana at a time (like Rainbow Energy from the Pokémon Trading Card Game). To balance the sheer utility of rainbow mana, generat…
-
@Beeswax While I like your ideas, there are a few cases where you seem to have missed the point. For Power Lock, how the heck would you keep track of the altered base power and toughness? Valiant Distraction is white because it's flavored as one c…

Untaintable Being's Errata, Continued: Rulings 7: Damage-triggered abilities that operate like deathtouch (such as the effect of Phage the Untouchable) also work normally on Untaintable Being or a creature it enchants, even when the source of that …
-
Untaintable Being's Errata Rulings 1: Untaintable Being prevents all effects that reduce power and/or toughness, even those that increase the other, such as Skullclamp (+1/-1), from applying to itself or the enchanted creature. This even applies to…

So, here's another card whose concept should be simple. And, actually, it is. But it has some really weird interactions with certain other effects, and could use some smoothing out. So, here's the next card that's become a bit of a headache... (Also…
-
Uh, can someone please help me rewrite this? Because it's a complete mess.
-
Uh... hybrid borders don't seem to work for tokens. Like this Rabbit token, which I meant to be white and green: And speaking of hybrids, will "2 colorless/1 colored" hybrid mana ever be a thing here? Because I can think of lots of stuff I could …

I know this topic is "Compliment a Cardsmith", but I'd like honest feedback on whether this card is overpowered, underpowered, or just right:
-
@JaceNalaar What? Isn't it a good thing to provide a detailed explanation of how an ability works and how it is used? Better to get it out of the way now than have an argument over it later.
-
Here's my keywords; I haven't used them yet (well, technically I've used the second one... but I'm planning on rewriting that card eventually). Barricade X (This permanent enters play with X charge counters on it. Whenever (designated subject) woul…

Is one of your creatures staring down a Doom Blade? No problem, just airlift them out of there! http://mtgcardsmith.com/view/aerial-evacuation?list=user Gwa ha ha ha! It's Bowser time, chumps! And the Koopa King's mighty flame breath is more than c…

@TastyCheez Were you replying to me? I did consider mentioning Karn as a planeswalker whose ultimate is freaking amazing, because it is, but the way it works, it's really nothing special unless you build up his ultimate the traditional (read: hard) …
-
I just made a card called Punished Wolf - triple damage, anyone? Just be careful; surviving to turn 5 with a red-black deck is challenging enough in and of itself, and it doesn't help that once you get this guy out on the field, your opponent can pr…
-
@Gateways7 Wait, it had to be a (mythic) rare? Dagnabit! Okay, so this time, I rolled up Bogardan Hellkite, a card that throws 5 damage around, divided between creatures and players however you like. So, I figured, the best way to make this better …
-
The heck is the counter?
-
I got Obstinate Baloth. Hoo boy. My first impulse was to make a card that forces your opponent to play a spell from their hand, in the hopes that they'd play a discard card that you could use to get Obstinate Baloth on the battlefield for free. But …

I like both Revitalize and Hunted by Beasts.
-
@Corwinn Inappropriate as in inaccurate.
-
@Mysterious_Gangsta: ...it's where Game of Thrones takes place.
-
@Mysterious_Gangsta: Let's just say that Westeros is not a fun place to live. (Also, you spelled my username wrong.)
-
I wish I had those around when I made Hungry Pigeon and Engorged Pigeon. And, well, most of my cards, really, but especially Engorged Pigeon.
-
@Mysterious_Gangsta ... ... ...That is hilarious, but completely inappropriate.
-
@Fantastic_Fantasy_Cards - Hey, I've had quite a few problems with card-writing myself. It happens to the best of us. Oh, and I just finished a cool new card... It's called Crowd Control. It's a double-meaning; it can refer to controlling a crowd, …
