They're not new templates, just changes in wording. Wizards is changing "Shuffle your library" to "shuffle" and "converted mana cost" to "mana value" |

Thirty One Paintings of Mikokoro      Legendary Enchantment - Saga  (As this Saga enters and after your draw step, add a lore counter. Sacrifice after VI.)I: Look at the top five cards of your library. You may reveal a card that's one color from among them and put it into your hand. Then shuffle. II-III: Look at the top five cards of your library. You may reveal a card that's two colors from among them and put it into your hand. Then shuffle. IV: Look at the top five cards of your library. You may reveal a card that's three colors from among them and put it into your hand. Then shuffle. V: Look at the top five cards of your library. You may reveal a card that's four colors from among them and put it into your hand. Then shuffle. VI: Look at the top five cards of your library. You may reveal a card that's five colors from among them and put it into your hand. Then shuffle. Name is a reference to the thirty-one color combinations that are typically printed on Magic cards (5 Monocolor, 10 Double, 10 Triple, 5 Quadruple, 1 WUBRG) and the Thirty-six Views of Mount Fuji. I specifically chose Mikokoro since it was a card-drawing land, so the artist might be 'inspired' to paint similar works featuring card draw. Like a painter trying and mixing different shades of paint, you're encouraged to make your deck as uniquely colorful as possible.

I've been looking for an excuse to do a 13-themed Innistrad Eldrazi, and now I have it. A big, dumb beater that can't attack unless there's just the right amount of things to eat.  Edit: Retemplating and text fixing (didn't specify permanent becomes a creature) |

t2stonerain: Kinda upset that you couldn't manage to fit four more 13s on there.
Here's something from an earlier Keyword Challenge:
Kor Armsbearer  Creature--Kor Soldier   ,  : Arm Kor Armsbearer. (Flip a coin. If you win the flip, search your graveyard and/or library for an Aura or equipment card with mana value of X that can be attached to Kor Armsbearer and attach it to Kor Armsbearer. If you searched your library this way, shuffle. Otherwise, put X +1/+1 counters on Kor Armsbearer.)

They're not new templates, just changes in wording. Wizards is changing "Shuffle your library" to "shuffle" and "converted mana cost" to "mana value" Then i missunderstood the whole thing. Thank you for the clarification.
The "Glyph"- type represents the first, pure optional ability. One of my own typ's. It that is any problem at all i will remove the type.

vstrange T: Exile target creature card with mana value X (or less) from any graveyard, where X is ~ power. If you do, put a +1/+1 counter on ~.
For the records -- "or less" is your own choice

Protean Reforming Sorcery  As an additional cost to cast this spell, sacrifice a creature. Search your library for any number of creatures with total mana value X or less, where X is the sacrificed creature's mana value, and put them onto the battlefield. Then shuffle.

Both.  Rhystic Demon  Creature - Demon Flying When Rhystic Demon enters the battlefield, each opponent may pay any ammount of mana. You may search your library for a card with mana value equal to the ammount of mana spent to cast Rhystic Demon minus the ammount of mana payed by your opponents. If you do, reveal that card, put it into your hand, then shuffle. 6/4 That turned out be wordier than I imagined it. |

 {Text} Extraplanar Summons  Instant If you control a Plains or an Island, you may warp a nonland permanent you control with mana value X rather than pay this spell’s mana cost. (Its owner shuffles it into their library.) Warp target nonland permanent with mana value X. Draw a card. |

Warp target nonland permanent with mana value X. Draw a card. This should say something like "If you control a Plains and an Island, you may warp a nonland permanent you control..." else you can play it in any deck (ouside commander). Maybe "or" would be enough since you have to hit the value exactly. |

2 things:
destroy effects are usually a black thing.
and...
I believe that the first part would be better worded as "destroy all creatures with mana value three."
but otherwise, nice card! glad to see you join the card of the weak contest!  |

1) If you're gonna have this destroy and not deal damage, then it should be . 2) If a spell only has one target, then that's the maximum it can have. Tautological? Yes, but I don't know of any other way to tell you that your wording doesn't work. As Jeremy from CinemaSins would say:
My reaction to the horrible templating somehow makes it into the flavor text. *DING!*
Here's two better versions:
Utter Slaughter Sorcery Destroy up to X target creatures with mana value 3. If fewer than three creatures are destroyed this way, shuffle this card back into its owner's library. --------------------- "What a mess!"
Put to the Flame Sorcery This spell deals 3 damage to each of up to X target creatures with mana value 3. If fewer than three creatures are dealt lethal damage this way, shuffle this card back into its owner's library.
---------------------
"Fire shall cleanse this mess!"
On the plus side, actually showing an orc getting stabbed all the way through he head via mouth is metal af.

Thanks for the compliment. I decided to go with the black version because I guess that's what it should have been. Thanks for the help.

Just be glad that you didn't attract the attention of The5lacker, as they would've been pants-wettingly, ugly-cry-inducingly brutal, and that's absolutely NOT the welcome that first-timers should get.
If you wish to indulge some morbid curiosity, just search this site and the old site for The5lacker, but be warned, it's rough stuff.

I finally got something for this week's challenge. I even managed to get a third example of new wording in there.
Eight lines of rules text is a bit much, but since the ETB half of it can basically be ignored after the card has entered, I think I'm fine with it.
Legendary Creature - Elf Artificer When Daenon, Banished Prince enters the battlefield, you may search your library for an artifact card with mana value 1 or less, put it onto the battlefield, then shuffle. : Put X +1/+1 counters on target artifact you control. If it’s not a creature, it becomes a 0/0 artifact creature until your next turn. Activate only as a sorcery. 2/2
The lore I came up with for Daenon is that he was the prince of a great elven kingdom. Fascinated with artifice and tinkering, he would practice these in secret since such magic was strictly forbidden in the verdant kingdom. At some point his secret was inevitably revealed and the King could do nothing but exile him. Daenon was cast out to an enormous jungle beyond the kindgom walls. With a mere couple of gadgets and gizmos to aid him, his survival would be unlikely at best...

 This was a very open contest, and in the end I started to feel a little overwhelmed by possibility. Here's what I ended up coming up with. A super risky card that can cause all sorts of problems down the road. |
