How to Play: 1. A player chooses two MTG cards at random (use Gatherer's or magiccards's or scryfall's random function.) 1.5 If you roll a basic land, you may replace that basic land with a different card instead. 2. The next player must design a card that combines the two cards flavorfully and mechanically and picks two new cards of his own. (If possible, please link the cards for convenience.) 3. The next player rates the above cards and repeats step 2. Example : Continuing off from the old thread: The "first" pair is Next: Branching Bolt and Arrogant Bloodlord. Have fun!

Hmm. Don't know how to code the symbols on this new site, so let me see what I can do. Bloodlord's Bolt Instant Choose one or both: * Destroy target creature with power 3 or less * This spell deals 3 damage to target creature NEXT: Haunted Guardian + Sever Soul

EDIT: oops forgot the critique digiman619 good combo of the cards, well muddled! Playable and well designed. Mark the Mindful Instant Destroy target creature with defender or vigilance. (Yes I know Haunted Guardian has defender and first strike, but I changed it to vigilance due to flavor.)Next: Herald of Kozilek and Archdemon of Unx

Up: I like the demon tribal support. Adding "may" to the sacrifice cost makes it not really a drawback and also removes something that I though made the original demon interesting, but I understand that a 3-mana zombie doesn't really need to carry the weight of a 7-mana archdemon. 8/10. Landform Enchantment When Landform enters the battlefield, it becomes an Aura with enchant land. Search your library for a basic land card, put it onto the battlefield tapped, and attach Landform to it. Then shuffle your library. Enchanted land is a 3/3 green Elemental creature with trample. It’s still a land. The next cards are Azorius Signet and Sphinx's Decree.

Landform - Tutoring for a land which gets turned into a 3/3 trampler is really neat and seems well balanced. I'd certainly play this card. Lawmage's Signet Artifact Flash : Return ~ and target instant or sorcery you don't control to their owners’ hands. Then add an amount of and/or equal to the converted mana cost of that instant or sorcery. {NOTES} Figuring out the mana cost for this card was rough, so I just went high with it. Flashing this in for and then making that mana back if the spell is 6+ seems fair enough. Next: All Is Dust + Grixis Panorama~Zuty

Up: It's a strong card. I guess it's good at . After you cast it once, your opponent will be aware of it and will try to play around it somehow by casting cheap stuff first. Monument of Extinction Land : Add to your mana pool. , , Sacrifice Monument of Extinction: Each player sacrifices all colored permanents he or she controls. For each permanent sacrificed this way, its controller may search his or her library for an Island, Swamp or Mountain card and put it onto the battlefield tapped. Then each player shuffles their library. Activate this ability only as a sorcery. Next: Sage's Dousing + Luminesce

Up: I have close to no idea why doesn't it mention Plains or Forests, but it's a decent card nonetheless. Could be fun seeing this in Commander. Impair the Impure Instant Counter target black or red spell unless its controller pays . Draw a card. Comes with a bit of Mana Tithe. Next: Gerrymandering and Channel.

Up: Eh, it's an interesting idea and a good muddle, but it'll only ever be sideboard tech. 7/10 Shifting Fealty Enchantment Pay 1 life: Tap target land you control and target land an opponent controls and exchange control of them. Any player can activate this ability, but only during their main phase. Probably not a good muddle, but Uncards are really hard to muddle and this is where inspiration took me.

Up: Weird, but you did the best you could with what you got. 7/10.

Up: Both cards included in that muddle are quite evident and make for a unique hybrid. Well muddled - not too broken and not too bad. Breath of Brass Instant Breath of Brass deals X damage to each opponent and 5 - X damage to you. Next: War Mammoth and Rock Hydra

Up: Clever mix, but also seems a bit weak and the templating's weird, but I like it. Mammoth Herd Creature - Elephant Mammoth Herd enters the battlefield with X +1/+1 counters on it. Trample If damage would be dealt to Mammoth Herd or another Elephant you control, instead prevent that damage and remove that many +1/+1 counters from Mammoth Herd. If you can't, sacrifice Mammoth Herd. , remove a +1/+1 counter from Mammoth Herd: Create a 3/3 green Elephant token with trample. : Prevent the next 1 damage that would be dealt to Mammoth Herd or target Elephant you control this turn. : Put a +1/+1 counter on Mammoth Herd. Activate this ability only as a sorcery. 0/0 This design just kept getting weirder and weirder. Next: Nakaya Shade and Raise the Alarm

Up: Certainly has the wordiness and length of Rock Hydra's text box! It's good for the most part, but I don't see how the "create a 3/3 Elephant with trample" part fits in. That ability also skews the card to the more powerful side, when without it it would do just fine. Shade Soldier Creature - Shade Soldier , : Create a 1/1 white and black Shade Soldier creature token unless any player pays . 1/1 Next: Sabertooth Nishoba and Goblin Goon

Up: Definitely a Shade Soldier. I like it. Reminds me of the Rhystic cards. Could've been a 1/2, but you know what they say: what you get is what you're given... Fanged Thug Creature - Goblin Mutant Trample ~ can't attack or block unless you control three or more creatures. "He's too big, we need support... Hey, you two! Hold his back!" -General Sataf5/5 Next: Reverse Damage and Raging Riverlol

Up: A solid size increase over Mogg Flunkies and its ilk. Might be a little win-more in Limited, where having 3+ creatures generally means the game is going well for you, but still absolutely a card I could see Wizards printing. River of Souls Enchantment Whenever one or more creatures attack, the attacking player separates all attacking creatures they control into two piles. Then, each defending player chooses a pile. Only creatures in that pile can deal combat damage to that player this combat. Next: Fledgling Mawcor and Zulaport Enforcer... good luck?

Up: Interesting card, especially because it's symmetric. It's also a fun reverse to the Raging River. I think the biggest advantage is that attacking with only one creature won't do anything (except combined with Lure-abilities). I can imagine building a deck around this card. Mawcor Enforcer Creature - Beast Warrior Flying, Level up 2/2 Level 1-2: Flying : Mawcor Enforcer deals 1 damage to target nonblack creature. 3/3 Level 3+: Flying : Mawcor Enforcer deals 2 damage to target creature. 5/5 Next: Duty-Bound Dead + Nacatl Hunt-Pride

Up: While black can kill nonblack creatures and can deal damage, I don't think it ever does damage to nonblack creatures. Decent muddle otherwise. This isn't the best, but it's what is speaking to me. Honor-Bound Nactl Creature- Cat Warrior , : Target creature gains menace until end of turn. , : Target creature blocks alone this turn if able. 3/4 Next: Bottle Gnomes + Petrified Wood-Kin

Up: I'm not seeing much connection to Duty-Bound Dead here beyond the mana cost and a tenuous "one creature in combat" theme, but solid card regardless. I like the mirroring on the abilities on both this one and the original Nacatl Hunt-Pride, so I think it works. Cask-Aged Gnomes Artifact Creature - Gnome Hexproof Whenever a player is dealt combat damage, put a charge counter on ~. Sacrifice ~: Gain 3 life for each charge counter on ~. 1/1 Next: Spirit of the Hunt + Mageta the Lion

Up: Not sure if undercosted, particularly because of the combination of one-sided mass destruction and Flash. Other than that, it's a solid design. Haunting Wall Creature - Wall Defender Whenever Haunting Wall blocks, exile a card from attacking player’s graveyard other than a basic land card. Whenever a card is exiled that way, search that player’s library for all cards with the same name as that card and exile them. Then that player shuffles their library. 0/7 Next Rally and Dive Bomber.

It is a haunting echoes on a stick. Not bad considering haunting echoes is hard already. Rally the Dive Bombers Instant Flying creatures get "Sacrificice this creature: deal 2 damage to target attacking or blocking creature." "Stand your ground! May their graves lie beneath our final hour." Next: Flying Carpet and Unholy Strength

Up: If this was an enchantment, I could definitely see uses for it, especially if I had a Blitterblossom or whatnot, but as an instant it just seems too narrow. Cabal's Carpet Artifact , : Target creature gets +2/+1 and gains flying until end of turn. Sacrifice it at end of turn. Next: Dark Banishing + Megantic Sliver

Up: This card is *really* narrow hoser - needs 2 colors and is only good against blue decks? Very much typical of the era that both source cards are from, and that's not a bad thing. One little oversight - you didn't specify if the intimidate is permanent or until end of turn. If it''s permanent that's an interesting effect, but I'd use some sort of counter to denote it, maybe even a +1/+1 counter because it's currently not very strong even after eating a land. Com-Bat Medic Creature - Bat Cleric Flying : Prevent the next 1 damage that would be done to target creature this turn. It gains haste and lifelink until end of turn. 1/2 Next: Hypnotic Specter + Zuran Orb

Up: Nice card. I really like the combination of damage pervention plus haste. It might be a bit much as a two mana activation on an uncommon. Zuran Specter ::R: Creature - Specter Flying, lifelink Whenever Zuran Specter deals combat damage to a player, that player sacrifices a land at random. 2/2 Next: Island. No, let's reroll this one. Smash + Guardian of Tazeem.

UP: Interesting land destruction effect. Was hoping to see more of the sac effect, but then again not an easy thing to do. I like how the life gain effect was merged with the dealing damage. Island of Tazeem Land - Island ~ enters the battlefield tapped. : Tap target creature When an Island enters the battlefield, untap ~. Now the actual challenge. Smashing Guardian Creature - Sphinx Flying Landfall - Whenever a land enters the battlefield under your control, destroy target artifact. If that land was an Island, draw a card. 3/5 Had to think whether I wanted the land to be a mountain or an Island. Next: Gleam of Authority and Hand of Emrakul

Creature - Dinosaur Flying Landfall - Whenever a land enters the battlefield under your control, destroy target artifact. If that land is a Mountain, ~ deals 4 damage to that artifact's controller. 4/4 Next: Clock of Mists and Unsummon NINJA'D
