| Big Balls | Artifact — Contraption  | | Whenever you crank Big Balls, target player chooses a creature they control and rolls a six-sided die. If the result is 6, the chosen creature gets +1/+1 until end of turn. Otherwise, it gets -3/-3 until end of turn. |

/MSE%20Renders/Big%20Balls.png) The gameshow in question is Wipeout. Man, I loved watching that show as a kid. Basically, the target player sends one of their creatures across the Big Balls, and it has a 1 in 6 chance of succeeding. If it doesn't succeed, it falls. I was originally going to make this an Attraction, but I couldn't find a template for those, so Contraption it is. |

Literally every entry for this one made me smile so far 
Fun fact: Wording is taken from The Toymaker's Trap - which means this card would in fact be Vintage legal. |

 Had some difficulty how to mechanically apply "closest without going over." Originally had a d6 roll, but the card itself has a price through its own mana value, so I incorporated that. |

The only things I can think of don't really translate well. 1) At the RTR prerelease, I chose Rakdos, because I wanted to open Rakdos, Lord of Riots. I even came up with The Official Rakdos Joke™ ©®: "What are the last words you'll ever say?" Then, whatever their answer, you stab them in the jugular! I got some pretty great answers, like "Hopefully not these!"; and one other which I unfortunately can no longer remember. Anyway, my pool was terrible, and I had to go Selesnya. What made that really suck was that all the legitimate Selesnya players got Grove of the Guardian as a prerelease promo, which is pretty much unbeatable in Limited. I went with Rakdos, so guess what I didn't get? I did slightly better than usual, but still pretty terribly, but I can take small, bitter sour grapesconsolation in the fact that I did better than the other two Rakdos players that tournament, leading me to quip "The best Rakdos deck was a shitty Selesnya deck." So yeah, kinda hard to translate The Official Rakdos Joke™ ©® into a Magic card, Acorn or otherwise. 2) My favorite game show is Dotch, and how the hell do you translate that kind of insane, democratic sadism to Magic?! |
