The winner of the "Color Pie Biodiversity" poll was Daij_Djan with...And the challenge issued by our winner was... 2022 has passed, and the new years has just now started.

It's not technically in the card itself, but I made a keyword with "At the beginning" so I hope that's allowed.

| One Glorious Punch A generic and two red
Instant
If a source you control would deal damage this turn, it deals quadruple damage instead. At the beginning of the next end step, you lose the game.

This might be intentional, but just in case it's not this thing can be a 3 mana emblem with "make a tapped power stone each upkeep"

Well, I was gonna post a treatise on a cycle of monocolor Auras that gave you control over a type of permanent that's most represented in the color of the Aura (like a green Aura that gave you control over a creature), that all had an upkeep cost of 1N, where N was that color (because it really just makes sense that a color whose identity is so tied up with that permanent type would be able to take control of a permanent of that type), but then I came to a design I dreamed up recently, and I just hadda post that, because I'm a validation-craving attention whore:Arno Coleman, Slacker Evangel Legendary Creature--Human Tyranid Cleric Wizard Whenever a player casts a spell, put a +1/+1 counter on Arno Coleman, Slacker Evangel.Noncreature spells cost less to cast for each counter on Arno Coleman, Slacker Evangel.As long as the number of counters on Arno Coleman, Slacker Evangel is five or greater, creature spells cost less to cast for each counter on Arno.At the beginning of each player’s end step, remove all counters from Arno.1/2vizionarius : DAMMIT!!! Ok, going with a card inspire by quite possibly the greatest moment in World War Z: Battle of the Catacombs Instant Cast this spell only during combat before attackers are declared. This spell can’t be countered if there are ten or more creatures on the battlefield. All creatures gain aggressor until end of turn. (They must attack each combat if able.)
Each creature can block any number of creatures this turn and must block each combat this turn if able. At the beginning of the next end step, exile each creature that blocked or was blocked this turn. ----------------------------------------------------------- “ON NE PASSÉ PAS!”

Idea It is as intended. Yes, artifact broken, uninteractive, whatever. But tapped powerstones are REALLY slow, based on my experience. (Not to mention, usually, powerstones are not compatible with control game plan) If you think it's too imbalanced, I can change it to 4 mana.

I don't think a free semi-rampant growth for artifacts every turn is very balanced, though that being said I am hardly the end all be all for balance. I just wanted to point it out in case it was by mistake, but since it was intentional you do you

Recursive Nightmare Sorcery Target player discards a card. At the beginning of your upkeep, if Recursive Nightmare is in your graveyard, you may discard a card. If you do, return Recursive Nightmare to your hand. Not sure if this should be instead.

Legendary Creature--Human Tyranid Cleric Wizard Hate being that guy, but the prompt says to make a non-permanent card.

This is a game for fanmade cards for Magic the Gathering. If you want to participate just make a card idea, and it will be voted on in the polls. If you want to play with the cards you see looking up how to add cards to Cockatrice is probably the easiest way to do so.

In case you meant where you get scheme cards: There have been two products featuring them so far: Archenemy and Archenemy: Nicol Bolas. It is meant to be played 3 vs. 1, where the one player (the archemnemy) uses scheme cards that they set in motion at the beginning of their first main phase. You can also play a "normal" game of Magic and give each player a deck of scheme cards (or even do one shared scheme deck).

Slow Burn Instant ~ deals 2 damage to any target. At the beginning of your next end step, ~ deals 2 damage to that permanent or player.

The other non-permanent. Are the tokens supposed to be named Shrine and not have the Shrine subtype? I approve, as the Shrines deck is getting a little too powerful, but that's going to cause a little confusion.

Glad some of you are remembering the non-traditional card types - there's a reason I didn't say "instant or sorcery"
Actually, after pondering about a conspiracy myself, I decided to go with a plane as well:

Vanguard card: Halana and Alena CharacterAt the beginning of each end step, if one or more beasts dealt damage this turn, create a clue token. Partners in the fight, partners in life.
+2 Starting Hand & Max Hand Size + 7 Starting Life
Challenge accepted! I have no idea how to balance Vanguard cards, but I'm doing my best
Also, if I may ask: Is there a reason why permanents cast with mirage, sac at upkeep instead of end step? Edit: Fixed a major mistake, that Flo00 pointed out, and decided I might as well make a version more akin to the wording of old magic cards, while I had the editor open. Glad some of you are remembering the non-traditional card types - there's a reason I didn't say "instant or sorcery"

Sure you may
It's not upkeep though - Mirage sacrifices during the cleanup step. Which is rarely mentioned on cards directly, but this means enchantments like Antithesis basically turn into instants with "until end of turn" effects like Cower in Fear.

Skimmed through your Atuum thread you linked to. I think the reason why Lightning Reflexes and the like use the wording they do is because if the permanent gets taken control of, then the "you" who originally casts it can no longer sacrifice it, since it's no longer theirs to do so. Dash can be worded as is because returning things to owners' hands can be done by any player, regardless of who controls it. So I think technically you'd have to go with a reminder wording similar to Lightning Reflexes'.

That's actually an interesting point that never was brought up so far as I know. Guess you're right about rules text, but as flavor text can have a bit of leeway and doesn't have to be 100% correct and/or complete, I think it's fine the way it is still

But I can understand not touching reminder text from 6-7 years ago.

Ha, slapping this one here too. It's in Epic's reminder text by the way.
