@faiths_guide is right! I misread the mechanic, hence why I thought it was awkward and reworded it on my card for him. Here's what I came up with for the actual mechanic:
-
@gelectrode wanted to see a Weird creature, so I made a weird Weird: Weirds are always blue, always have an Izzet color identity and are creatures that act and interact with spells, especially instants and sorceries. In order to fit @gelectrode's …

For @faiths_guide: This is a tough one because I do not like this mechanic on its face. Anything that lets you cast a spell for free is going to be abused. Anything. All of them. All of the free things. Not only that, but this puts the onus on you…

Next up for @BradXmagic: Starting the game on the battlefield is a very potent thing. Derevi's omnipresence on the battlefield is one of the reasons it is a busted commander. I wanted to make a card that had an impact when it was out but couldn't …

@meadowsatsunshine This is an interesting one. In multiplayer games, most cards that present a threat to both opponents (win conditions, zulaport cutthroats, etc) will make people work together for at least a little while. I did want to make somethi…

@Faiths_Guide you can request anything you can fit in ten or fewer words, including cards with a specific custom mechanic or a card that would be a proof of concept of a mechanic you're playing with.

@Lujikul Different thing, same purpose.

My Amonkhet hype is being spoiled by Amonkhet spoilers.

Maybe a Tamiyo with, "I do not permit a woman to teach or to have authority over a man; she must be silent.” (1 Timothy 2:12) Replace Amalek with Amonkhet? “This is what the Lord Almighty says... ‘Now go and strike Amalek and devote to destruction …

I'm pretty sure @Trippleboggey3 has tagged me more in this thread than I've ever been tagged elsewhere in all of my time on this site.

I keep getting tagged in this post. I feel like I did something wrong.

Niv Mizzet + Curiosity / Ophidian Eye / Tandem Lookout = infinite draw

We often play a 5-player variant of commander called 'usurper'. One player is the king, one is the guard, one is the traitor and two are assassins. Everyone knows who the king is but no one knows who the other roles are. The king wins if they are t…

So are we doing a Holocaust contest when this is over? Maybe a Cambodian or Bosnian genocide set? How about ISIS vs. Eldrazi? This is in poor taste.

Probably this, by the ever-creative @animist: It shows why Painborn has potential as a mechanic. Additionally, it is balanced, interesting and feels like is could easily be a real card. It is also very flavorful without needing flavor text to rein…

There were 15 gods on Theros. Five mono-colored gods and 10 others, one for each pair of two colors. There are at least five gods on Amonkhet as well. We know what they look like but not if they will be enchantment creatures like the Theros ones (p…

Everyone knows bad jokes are funnier when you force them.

Mana-limited loops, like casting mana dorks with a haste enabler and Zendikar Resurgent on the board are not infinite loops. Infinite loops are when you can demonstrate that you can do something an infinite number of times and then do an arbitrarily…

A psuedo-counterspell with two potential uses: 1) Exile a card your opponent wants to have in their graveyard after casting. 2) 'Dodge' a counterspell by using it on your own card in response to it being countered.

This sounds like the circuit challenge.

I like the thought of Jareth as a kitten.

Being unable to attack alone isn't really much of a disadvantage. Selective board wiping is a massive advantage. Time's End seems like it would be funny to play and flash in a Platinum Angel or Angel's Grace when the last counter comes off.
-
@Meta_Knight Alone and Lost is much more interesting than the earlier cards but the balance doesn't quite fit the cost. If the emblem were more impactful or it were harder to cast (like its cousin Duneblast) it would be more fair. And everyone else…
-
@Meta_Knight 1) Totally useless with incredibly broken functionality 2) Obnoxious card. If you ever cast this in a game you will probably never get to play with that opponent again. 3) An omni board wipe that is also a Lord of Extinction with haste,…
