 {Spoiler} These cards aren't part of the submission, but I felt like making them to show more of what the keyword could do.   |

Hey, negative mana technically counts, right?  Maw of Eternal Hunger Artifact Creature--Phyrexian Wurm  You may add  rather than pay this spell’s mana cost. Spend this mana only on abilities from nonartifact sources. Devour 5 (As this enters, you may sacrifice any number of creatures. This creature enters with five times that many +1/+1 counters on it.)
 , Sacrifice a creature: Maw of Eternal Hunger gains trample until end of turn. -5/-5 |

I'll admit Mirage isn't a new ability anymore, but I still like it, so oh well

I'm a firm believer that phyrexian are rad and they should not be defeated. They have top-notched designs, and their assimilation of heroes are rad as hell.  |

@ sdfkjgh: Render has now been added Mirage is my keyworded Spider Climb-like ability for my old Egypt themed set - it basically turns enchantments into instants with an "until EOT" effect. |

The Harlequin: True, but if a spell or ability allows you to cast a card without a mana cost without paying its mana cost, you can cast that card. See Living End, et al.

I was hoping the raccoons from Bloomburrow would do stuff with Junk tokens, but alas, it remains only in the Fallout sets. So I wanted to include the mechanic along with an alternate casting cost that lets you see this card either in exile, the graveyard, or on the top of your deck and cast it by molding three artifact tokens into a Scrapyard Welder.  |

The Harlequin : True, but if a spell or ability allows you to cast a card without a mana cost without paying its mana cost, you can cast that card. See Living End, et al. But apparently I overthought it -- My line of thinking was that you can't replace something invalid with something valid without a proper ability, But it is a legit way of doing it, even with nonexistend mana values. So don't mind me, my brain works in circles  You may just add this line of text to your post rather than an attachment: [ img src="https://i.postimg.cc/VLHPspRW/Scrapyard-Welder.png" style="max-width:100%;" alt=""] Just replace "[ img" with "[img" -- Or just delete the space in between. It makes it easier for Daij_Djan to work with posted content and makes it easier for unregistered Users to look at cards. For a future reference -- In my signature is a short guide for proper posting ;-) |
