Card of the Week Contest #296: Remember Me

Ice-Floe Penguin 4UU

Creature — Bird :rare:

When Ice-Floe Penguin enters the battlefield, target creature gains confused until Ice-Floe Penguin leaves the battlefield. (If it would become tapped or untapped except by its own abilities, the reverse happens.)

A flightless bird that saps heat from others to survive.

6/5

Giving a meaning to "confuses target creature" was the first thing that popped into my head, so obviously I had to go with that... and then I changed "confused" to a keyword instead, so "confuses target creature" still isn't even the right syntax. Curse of the Fire Penguin would've wanted it that way, though.

That awkward moment when you go to use a card using one of your most recent mechanics only to realize that mechanic doesn't actually... use reminder text, because it's a keyword action with no intrinsic rules meaning that other abilities piggyback off of, and so you have to pivot to an older project.




Render of Leylines
Devoid Creature - Eldrazi
(Devoid cards have no color.)
As an additional cost to cast Render of Leylines, scour a face-up land you control. (Turn it face down as a land with “: Produce .”)
When you cast Render of Leylines, scour target face-up land.
Reach

So before anyone says anything 1. R&D has expressed that if they were to do BfZ again Devoid would be a supertype instead of an ability, so that's how I roll. 2. Tezzeret, Cruel Machinist has established that it's possible for face down permanents to be defined as something other than 2/2 creatures with no colors or types. That's the default, but if an ability defines it otherwise it could be theoretically anything. Obviously I wouldn't recommend mixing scour in with a limited environment that includes some flavor of Morph, but especially since lands are generally kept in a different place than other permanent types it felt safe to me. 3. For the purposes of balance I'd probably say scour would be a notch below land destruction, and I can already sense people going "Land destruction as a core set mechanic is a really bad idea!" And you'd be right, but land SACRIFICING isn't, and a good 75% of the scour cards I've designed so far have used it more as an additional cost. I just felt like showing off a big rude eldrazi for the contest because who doesn't love big rude eldrazi?

Blades Eternal 
Legendary Artifact - Equipment 
Equipped creature has double strike and gets +2/+2.
When equipped creature would die or be exiled by an effect you don't control, it remains on the battlefield instead. (It does not leave the battlefield, all counters, attached enchantments and equipments remain attached. If the creature was chosen by the effect of another ability or spell it remains chosen until that spell or ability would normally end.)
Equip 
Equip Legendary 

They really have? Finally! I've been wondering why it's not been a supertype all the way since BfZ..

Price Fixer

That's an incredibly rude reaction to a preemptive explanation of some aspects of my design that I know might be unconventional. And when I'M calling someone out for being rude, that's saying something.

Amplify
Instant
Copy target instant or sorcery spell. (You may NOT pick new targets for the copy.)

There goes the neighborhood.

This card is based on a land I made for a poorman's challenge quite a while ago. So I made a cycle of it including the original I made back then:

Soul Strike
1R
Sorcery (Common)
Soul Strike deals 2 damage to any target, then invade. (Exile a creature card you own from outside the game that shares a color with this with time counters equal to half its converted mana cost rounded up. If it doesn't have suspend, it gains suspend.)

I think your card might be missing just one small detail, ameisenmeister

Little mechanic I made to hose graveyards. Finally keywording rest in peace effects.
