Oh here is a very dumb design I've had for a while. I couldn't get it right and I doubt I will but after fiddling with it a bit was kind of a nice fit for this contest.  Adelmar, Runechanter Legendary Creature — Human Cleric :mythic: The first noncreature spell you cast each turn costs less to cast. Whenever you cast a noncreature spell, Adelmar, Runechanter gets +1/+0 and gains flying until end of turn. Whenever Adelmar deals combat damage to a player, you gain that much life and draw that many cards. -2/5 |

A destructive man, few weapons - let alone men - can bear the brunt of his strikes. It is for this reason that he chose the Darksteel Axe as his weapon of choice.... Sylderby the Decimator Legendary Creature - Giant Warrior Haste Whenever CARDNAME attacks, for each artifact or nonbasic land, destroy that permanent unless its controller has CARDNAME deal 2 damage to them. The world is his playground - and the people, bugs. 4/5

This is going to be tricky, because there are so many fun things you can do. I'll make a list of equipment and put it on the spoiler tag. The entry not on the spoiler tag will be my submission. The rest is just an excuse to create cards. I am sad, I spend too much tie having fun, instead of posting.
Avarice AmuletKiro, Greed's Avatar Legendary Creature - Avatar When ~ enters the battlefield attach all equipment to it. When ~ dies, if it was equipped, return it to the battlefield. "That is MINE!" 2/2
Argentum ArmorKoronis, the Ruin Bringer 
Legendary Creature - Avatar Haste, Vigilance, Deathtouch When ~ enters the battlefield, attach any number of equipment to it. If a permanent is destroyed in combat for the first time this turn, after this phase there is an additional combat phase. 2/3
Angelic ArmamentsRuthia, the Aasimar Legendary Creature - Human Lifelink If your life total is twice your starting life total, ~ becomes an legendary angel creature. As long as you control an angel, ~ gets +6/+6, flying and deathtouch. 2/2
Bloodforged Battle-AxeCorran, the Barbarian Legendary Creature - Human Berserker First strike, Trample When ~ deals combat damage to a player, attach all equipment on the battlefield to it. " In the heat of battle, you use what you find."1/3
DeathrenderAzrail, Death Reaper Legendary Creature - Rat Deathtouch When ~ dies, if it destroyed a creature, return it to your hand. You can be a king or a street sweeper, but everyone dances with the Death Reaper.1/3 PS: I have to thank Robert Atton Harris for that quote.
Explorer's ScopeEliane, the Ultimate Explorer  Legendary Creature - Elf When ~ attacks, search your library for a basic land card and reveal that card. Shuffle your library, then put the card on top of it. Lands you control enter the battlefield untapped. 1/1
Kusari-GamaSora, the Superior Storm Legendary Creature - Rat Ninja First strike Lethal (As long as this creature is equipped, it and all cards attached to it have deathtouch)3/2 Sora: 優空 or 双嵐 or 壮良 I have to apologize for any Japanese person. I just found that if the name was "Superior air" (優空) while also being a "Set of Storms" (双嵐), it had to be in the title. Considering he is also skilled in using weapons (壮良, meaning skilled man). The card basically build itself. For those who cannot read Japanese, like me, all three Japanese words are pronounced Sora. Also, Sora is pretty common name, perfect for an assassin.
Neko-TeChieko, Master Nekomata Legendary Creature - Cat Monk First strike When ~ attacks, it gets +1/+1 for each tapped creature defending player controls. At the beginning of your end step, target opponent loses life equal to the number of tapped creatures they control. 2/2
Nemesis MaskThis is Joke card Kirito, the End of Battles Legendary Creature - Avatar Deathtouch, Rampage 1 When ~ attacks, the defending player untaps all creature he controls. 1/1
Prying Blade Kolthos, Sticky Fingers Legendary Creature - Goblin Pirate Trample, Lifelink If you would gain a Gold or Treasure token, gain twice that many tokens instead. Sacrifice a Gold Token: Put a +1/+1 counter on ~. Sacrifice a Treasure Token: Draw a card. Pay 4 life: ~ gains indestructible until the end of turn. 4/1
SunforgerGilneas, Sacred Smith Legendary Creature - Kor Artificer When you cast a spell, if ~ is attacking, attach target equipment you control to it. When an equipment unattaches from ~, shuffle target instant from your graveyard into your library. 1/2 |

Sorry for the delay, RL kept me busy these past two days. {fluffyDeathbringer} That surely is a powerful combo and the flavor text hints at a pretty interesting character. I guess Marinn does look a bit boring on his own, though? Then again, I do appreciate the callback to an old black creature downside. {amechra} So she sacrifices another creature to turn into a white angel? That's kind of weird – even though I do like her having build-in option to change without the Armaments. {Flo00} I like the interactions between Eugene and the Sledge – except repetitive artifact recursion isn't really  . Then again.. Hilarious  {burntsquirrelman} Well, I can't really say how well your card fits the character (as I never watched King of the Hill), but I don't like the card much. This effect doesn't belong into read and the stats are rather disappointing even keeping in mind the powerful ability. Sure, Cho-Manno, Revolutionary costs more to cast, but creatures have improved quite a bit since then – and considering we just had Everdawn Champion at uncommon.. {wapulatus} My general disdain for uncommon legends aside, I like this card. The restrictive ability makes sure you don't cheat with reequipping stuff, and I can't really think of a way to really break the card – even though it feels like there should be a way. Which is a nice line to balance on {norench} The abilities fit the Banner nicely – but a five mana 1/1 is quite weak considering it has no ability to grow by itself (and the abilities aren't powerful enough to warrant powering it down by granting it bad stats – aside from me not being a fan of cards like that as well).. {Casstastrophe} Now that's an evil combination xD Sadly ETB abilities don't work with costs unless you use a Venarian Gold-like wording, as Enchirion won't remember it's value of X once it has entered the battlefield. {digiman619} Nice to see Short Sword getting some love – even though I know its token version has kind of an ambivalent reputation. That aside, I know I love using such text changing abilities from time to time – nice one! {kinotherapy} That's really an interesting design indeed. The unique twist to Prowess is nice, even though it sadly stacks a bit awkwardly, and the concept is pretty cool in general – but I do agree it seems to require some more fiddeling with its numbers. For example, without the Pike (or other support cards), you need to cast three noncreature spells to arrive at power 1 (unless one was a white pump spell, to be fair), which even with the cost reduction seems to be a bit much. So as much as negative values are a pet favorite for me, I think this one should simply have a power of 0, receive a +2/+0 buff on casting spells, or similar. {HvT} And for the third time my general disdain for uncommon legends aside, this is a really cool card. Cool flavor (that flavor text ) and a nice take on the new Dominaria Equip subgroupes mechanic. {Yoshi} Nice take on punisher effects – would the nonpermanent land hate in particular make this card work in RL Constructed formats even? Five mana sure is a lot, but still.. Anyway, like it! {loopsorspool} I nearly missed the „or leaves“ part of the ability and was just about to complain about the choice of adding black to his casting cost – but with that part in mind, it works quite well. The concept is pretty awesome, but I think the card is qute undercosted. Compare it to Undergrowth Champion, which only cares about lands entering the battlefield – and your own ones in particular. Maybe turn it into a one-turn +1/+1 buff instead to keep the agressive cost? Two minor nitpicks: The ability shouldn't say „this card“ but simply use Tragen's name – also with that name, I'd really like him to be a Scout. {nhoj2307} Interesting ability – I wish the tokens would maybe do something when Mykros is dead himself? Also, the wording is quite off – it should probably be: Whenever a creature dies during combat, create a 1/1 (black?) Zombie Snake creature token named Demonspine with " , , Sacrifice this creature: It deals X damage to target creature, where X is equal to the power of a creature named Mykros, Backripper you control." {dietcolafangirla} And we have a second take on the Plate Mail, seems like haunted cards are quite beloved Still, this approach is very different to the one HvT took – and I like it nearly as much. Only minor nitpick I have: Bazuso is missing the legendary supertype. {oddnanref} Well, technically you entred after this challenge was closed – but I guess this is my own fault for being too slow finishing this judging. The flavor here is nice, but I am concerned about any Equipment turning Kiro into a never dying, free & instant recursion engine.. {And the winner is..} I tried to resist really, really hard to reward an uncommon legend (as Dominaria didn't change my general disdain for them), but in the end I had to give the win to HvT. Congratz to your winner and big thanks to all of you as well – I haven't seen this many entries to this contest in a very long time!  |

Correct me if I'm wrong, but doesn't Verdeloth the Ancient work the same way I intended Enchirion to? Or does stapling the effect onto a kicker cost change the way it works? |

Post by shiftyhomunculus on May 5, 2018 16:52:31 GMT
Yep. I'm not too sure why, but creatures remember kicker costs as they enter the battlefield in a way that they don't remember Xs in the mana cost.

Daij_DjanI am new to card design so it is no surprise it was unbalanced. But if the flavor is there it is a all win for me. Also, the high number of instant removal and counter.in my commander meta might have warped my definition of "problem card". AI am sorry for the late submission. I spend more time writing the other legendaries instead of hitting the post button. I had the initial card done four hours before I posted the post.

Ok, You bring up a fair points, however, I disagree somewhat. The costing is pretty aggressive, but at the same time, adding a color and making it legendary and removing the "regenerating" clause, I felt it reduced its power level to the point where the color density plus legendary would be enough.
As for "This card," I was under the impression that they changed the wording on cards to say that instead of their name.
Lastly, why would Tragen be a scout? Am I missing something?

The reason she sacrificed a creature (in my head) was blood magic. Honestly, that could have been better conveyed.

As for "This card," I was under the impression that they changed the wording on cards to say that instead of their name. Lastly, why would Tragen be a scout? Am I missing something? I think while it's mostly that it sees lands on both sides of the field, 3 mana means it can get out of hand real quick. You play and crack a fetchland? That's three counters! Straight up permanent +3/+3 just for mana fixing. And if your opponent is playing multiple colors as well? It definitely needs to cost more. As for why Tragen would be a scout is because you named him 'Tragen the Explorer'. That is literally what scouts do. Explorers are classified as Scouts in Magic. |

Huh, I could have sworn that I added: "you control." That was my mistake. As for the subtype scout, I didn't think of it and I thought they were saying I should change the name to "Tragen the Scout," which lead to confusion.

@ Casstastrophe : Yeah, sadly Kicker is different. The big issue with mana costs is Comprehensive Rule 107.3f: So when Enchirion's ETB triggers, it's already on the battlefield. Stuff like Endless One works as its amount of counters is determined as it changes zones (from stack to battlefield) already. For why Kicker works anyway, I can't really quote the Com. Rules here, but as far as I know, the typical ".. if it was kicked .." phrase basically is short for "..if you cast this spell's kicker cost as you cast it.." - and this is getting very close to Venarian Gold's oracle wording indeed. @ oddnanref : The challenge was closed two days earlier But still, don't worry about it. @ loopsorspool : If it would only care about your own lands, then it would indeed be very different. Fetch lands still look scary, but it would make a big difference nethertheless And yeah, burntsquirrelman understood my comment correctly - your card's name instantly made me think of the Scout creature type. As far as the Dominaria wording changes are concerned, those only apply to effects altering how a spell is being cast. So instead of the old "As additional cost to cast ~, .." it's now "As additional cost to cast this spell, ..". Cards still refer to themselves as normal otherwise. |

You know I feel much the same way about uncommon legends, but when I started my spirit/equipment design I was overcomplicating it and decided simpler would be better.
Next Challenge: Make a commander that is good in the 99, but gets some kind of bonus only if they are your commander. I realize a lot of abilities could fall in this category like eminence, experience counters, Derevi; So I'll be looking closer for things that are new and original.

So I am not sure how card text works when it is in a hidden zone. I am going to assume it does not work or trigger at all, so you do not need to keep track of the effect. Teleferi, Lonely Hive Legendary Creature - Sliver Word of Law - When a sliver enters the battlefield under you control, if ~ is in the command zone, create a 1/1 sliver creature token that is a copy of it. Exile it at the end of turn. When you cast ~ create a token copy of all slivers you control. "They leave their hive, only to be merged back into it." 7/7 |
