Master Thénardier  Legendary Creature--Human Rogue  Spells your opponents cast cost  more to cast and activated abilities your opponents activate cost more to activate unless they’re mana abilities of lands. Whenever a player pays either of these costs, you create a colorless Gold artifact token with “Sacrifice this artifact: Add one mana of any color.” 2/2 |

Sagak, The Living Plague  Legendary Creature - Insect  Sagak, The Living Plague’s power and toughness are each equal to the number of insect creatures you control. Whenever a nontoken creature you control dies, create a 1/1 black and green Insect creature token. If the creature had toughness 4 or greater create two of those tokens instead. */* |

Oops. This went longer than I meant to. Flo00 WALL COMMANDER! I enjoy the lone blocker becomes a flying army. Putting the block any number with "no other creatures" feels balanced. sdfkjgh That might be too good... but it is Mythic... but it only costs 2... but it affects all spells/abilities (glad nonland is there otherwise it just gets messy anyway)... feels like it's missing a "or 1 life" clause so they can avoid giving you treasures. Xenozfan2 When I first read this I was like "that doesn't make tokens!" One word later. Myriad! ah... Cute card. Glad I won't have to fight against it in real life. =) thaneofglamis I love the balance between skulk and growth. I'm not sure this is uncommon. Daij_Djan I don't know this reference and I feel like that's important. =) Ugh... a tax that has no end... thank goodness it's legendary. Jartis Here's one that could be rare instead of mythic. Great balance between giving food and threatening to poison them if they dare to eat. melono Male angel! Woot! So much work going on in one card. lifelink = life gain, life gain = may investigate, investigate = may scry. Dang son! odivesco Another great balance between growth and swarm. I was scared of the one mana cost, but overall it feels right. Winner thaneofglamis |

Yno, Brooder of Venom    Legendary Creature--Cockatrice Flying, first strike, trample, haste, deathtouch, deathtouch for planeswalkers
Other creatures you control with deathtouch get +1/+1 and have first strike, trample, haste, and deathtouch for planeswalkers.
Whenever a creature or planeswalker dealt damage by a creature with deathtouch you control this turn dies, you may draw a card.
Whenever a spell or ability an opponent controls causes a creature with deathtouch you control to leave the battlefield, that creature deals 1 damage to any target. 3/5 |

  Because a basilisk should be dangerous to the player too. Also made a version that shows off the face better.  |

Benthok, Gaze of Granite Legendary Creature - Basilisk Deathtouch, provoke (When this attacks, you may have target creature defending player controls untap and block it if able.)Whenever a creature dies, if it wasn’t sacrificed, it’s controller sacrifices a creature. 2/6 Watch out, that last ability works on you as well! |

Sorry, sorry, totally forgot about this. Judging up:
At first glance I wasn't a fan of it, but it's starting to grow on me. Unfortunately, as a commander, it's difficult to get value out of it. Black doesn't have a lot of tap and untap shenanigans to work with. In the 99, though, it seems fairly strong as repeatable creature removal and a sac outlet in aristocrats decks. It's worth nothing it wipes everything away with Presence of Gond and makes infinite tokens with Elemental Mastery. I love turning creatures into artifacts but letting them keep their abilities. This seems like a fun commander, and would bring you less hate than most theft-based strategies because killing Ilmus gives everyone their stuff back! It does seem fairly difficult to use, as you have to either force a block or use Ilmus to block, but I think that adds a fun layer of strategy if you have it lead your deck. I, uh. Hm. Well, that's a lot of words. I suppose deathtouch tribal is a pretty fun concept. I'm not sure "deathtouch for planeswalkers" needs to be keyworded. I'm not sure if that last ability works as written - can the creature that leaves the battlefield still be a source of damage after it leaves? This is a pretty messy design I'm not very fond of. This is a really cool concept, with absolutely killer art on both the card and the token. However, in practice it's a little underwhelming. Let's say you attack one of your opponents with Lith. They either chump-block it, or they're hit for six and discard a card. If they don't have any cards, they sac a creature instead. It's very rare a player will actually allow the Doom token to bring their life down to 1. I think it would be more common to take someone out with Lith's commander damage than actually Dooming them. However, I love the idea of negative token enchantments, and I think Lith has a lot of potential.
Flo00 - Benthok, Gaze of GraniteI enjoy the high toughness making it more likely to survive a hit. I also like that while the second ability affects you too, it still allows players to sacrifice things for value - useful in a Golgari deck. Personally, I'm not a fan of provoke (played against too many Hunter Slivers) but it works well with this card. One criticism is that the card doesn't really encourage any particular play style or strategy - and as a final note, you might want to pick a different title for Benthok here.

thaneofglamis: When a creature leaves the battlefield, you use the last known characteristics it had on the battlefield, so yes, the ability works exactly as intended. Also, deathtouch could easily be broken down into many different subcategories (like protection is): deathtouch for (non/combat) damage, deathtouch for planeswalkers, deathtouch for Dinosaurs (now there's a great band name!), etc.

Thanks for the win! Sorry for the delay, my sleep schedule has been wonky.
Now, I'm a fan of sneaky win strats, but "you win the game" can be really powerful and just makes you a target for the whole table. So, since this is Commander, and diplomacy is at work, I would like you all to design a commander that can make a player lose the game other than by dealing damage. Obviously damage can still be viable, it just needs another option, too. If you need more of an explanation, just think Door to Nothingness with legs. But probably not that. Idk, you do you, and have fun!

Imagine Oloro had a weird brother... Benoro, Eternal Wisdom   Legendary Creature - Giant Wizard You have no maximum hand size. If you would gain life, draw that many cards instead and vice versa. Discard 20 cards: Target player loses the game. 4/5 The second ability works because every replacement effect can apply to each event only once, so it won't try to replace the life/draw it just replaced with draw/life. Also note that you should be a bit careful with this since in your draw step you will just gain 1 life and not draw a card. I was thinking about gving him lifelink, it just seemed a bit overkill. |

 I couldn't find a good picture with an actual cake with candles. And ideally the counters would reset when he shows up but I ran out of room. |

Tarza, Plague Master Legendary Creature - Elf Warlock Tarza, Plague Master costs less to cast for each poison counter you have. Whenever a player casts their third spell each turn, that player gets a poison counter. ,  , Sacrifice Tarza: Each player gets a poison counter. 3/3 |

Judging { sdfkjgh}My biggest problem with this design is the way it makes you immune to death by damage. There are very few ways to deal with that ability, and it completely shuts down most decks. Also the clause for having 10 or less life is weird, because of course if you're at 0 you have 10 or less, so it seems unnecessary? Unless I'm really missing something. { Flo00}I'm not sure how I feel about card draw and life gain being totally flipped, but I love the idea of hoarding knowledge and unleashing it all at once to just knock someone out. I suppose the flip makes life gain way more playable, and theoretically stops you from playing the really strong traditional draw power cards, so that's a nice switch up. { userlost}The way that first ability works is a little weird, since it targets the player and not one of their permanents. That wording leaves it up in the air as to who picks which creature your opponent sacrifices, when I assume it was meant to be "target creature an opponent controls." There are a few other grammatical errors, but I won't harp on those, that one just actually changes how the card works on a mechanical level. My other problem with it is that 6 death counters is a lot for a 6/6. It's gonna be more difficult to swing trample without green, and if you're hitting your opponent straight up six times, they've already died from commander damage before the ability procs. { viriss}I love the idea of this. It's simple, it's fun, he's easy enough to remove in order to stop/reset the countdown. And as far as Uncards go, it's not too crazy, which I like. It is perhaps a lot to keep track of, but that's what we keep all those glass beads and dice around for, right? XD { Xenozfan2}I really like this. It's simple, it uses a mechanic that is already well supported, it's playing with fire because you want to give yourself counters too, it gives you three colors on a good body with a low CMC. I've also been obsessed with plagues and parasites and curses lately, so that's bonus flavor points from me. Lucky you XD {Winner}I'm gonna give the win to Xenozfan2 for a solid design that also happened to luck into my mindset for the past week or so. Runners-up will go to Flo00 for a design that forces more varied deck construction, and viriss for an Uncard that isn't OTT crazy. Thanks for your submissions! |

Dang, thanks Jartis! Ok, for the next one I'm going to shake things up. Select a word at random and build a card around it! Open a book, ask someone for a word, autocorrect gibberish, use a random word generator, anything. It doesn't have to be English, either. If you get an article like "the" or "and" you can reroll. Feel free to reroll if you don't like what you get or can't think of anything; creative ideas are better when you feel satisfied with them. The card has to relate somehow to the word you get, but it can be in any way. For example, if you get "fire" you could make "Fiona, Ire-Regent of Ers". Don't make it too much of a stretch, though; I'm giving you much liberty as it is. I look forward to your fantastic creations! |

@ sdfkjgh: Thing is, the Wurm can at least be removed. But if one simply never plays your Felidar, the opponents can never get rid of it. Working from the command zone is the big issue here - even though working from exile isn't much better, to be honest  @challenge: Random word generator gave me "money". That feels doable |

My word (or words) shall be, French Swine. From my partner. EDIT: here it is Borgi, Who Gives Up  Legendary Creature - Boar Warrior Vigilance. Remove a Boar from combat: Gain 2 life. (When a creature is removed from combat, it stops being an attacking, blocking, blocked, and/or unblocked creature. Creatures blocked by the creature removed from combat remain blocked. Creatures can be removed from combat after combat damage is dealt.) 3/3 |
