Your shameless plug game is weak, man. You should provide a link if your gonna plug. Rookie mistake; I expected better from an Eldrazi-level poster. That's what I get from posting just before running out  
So, y'all gonna provide that link?

Designed a mechanic that got a very pleasing reception on the discord, though I have no set to put it in just now. With a few other on-theme mechanics I could be a sweet music themed set ("Jump-start" renamed to "encore"?) but for now, into MCDT it goes. |

With a few other on-theme mechanics I could be a sweet music themed set ("Jump-start" renamed to "encore"?) but for now, into MCDT it goes. Are you actually designing a music-themed set? If you are then you can use a Song enchantment type that I made for the Keyword Challenge (if you want). Only thing is that it uses "perform" as a keyword, so there's going to be a bit of mismatch between that and the creature action. {Example cards}   (I decided to opt into allowing the player to cast it on either main phase after realizing that it wasn't a flavor win to restrict them to playing only the beginning. No doubt we're all heard some piece of classical music from a lengthy piece performed for some dramatic effect without the rest of the prelude, at the cost that the sample losing a lot of its impact (example). Not making as big of an impact is a good tradeoff for the player choosing only to perform the finale of a song. This also means we can play around with storytelling by using the phases before the precombat main phase, like with Hymm of the Brute's Legacy there telling of a warrior dying on the field inspiring bloodlust in another to follow in his steps). |

kinotherapy: What exactly does it mean for one or more creatures to perform?
Unrelated design:
Inscrutable Mutable     Creature--Elemental Shapeshifter Mutant  First strike
Whenever a phase or non-cleanup step ends, switch Inscrutable Mutable’s power and toughness.
Inscrutable Mutable has trample as long as its power is greater than or equal to its toughness.
Inscrutable Mutable has vigilance as long as its toughness is greater than or equal to its power. 4/6
Is this safe for regular Magic, or would it be more suited to an Un- set? |

sdfkjgh: It does exactly what it says, it triggers any abilities that say "whenever this creature performs". If you force a creature to perform that doesn't have one of these abilities, then it just embarrasses itself. @ Inscrutible Mutable: It doesn't seem too un- exactly but it does seem as though it requires a judge in order to be played at a basic level which I dunno how I feel about lol (it also suffers from the ol layers malfunction) temawimag: I'm not making a music-themed set right now since I have other things going on but this has had me on the lookout for musical mechanics, so I'll keep Songs in mind (though the shared use of "perform" is an issue)

I'm playing a card game called Blue Moon and there is a card that disallows your opponent to take any cards into thair hand. So I thought why can't a Magic card do this? Thoughtlock  Instant Until end of turn, cards can’t be put into target player’s hand. Draw a card. |

So, I was writing next week's episode of No Reservations II, when I got to Pygmy Hippo. Good god, but that card needs an update!
Pygmy River King  Creature--Hippo Whenever Pygmy River King deals combat damage to a player or planeswalker, tap all lands that player or that planeswalker’s controller controls. Then, at the beginning of your next main phase, add  for each tapped land that player or that planeswalker’s controller controls. 2/2 |

Then, at the beginning of your next main phase, add for each tapped land that player or that planeswalker’s controller controls. 2/2 With the exception of triggering on planeswalkers, this is arguably worse. A player can just tap out in response to the attack going through before damage is assigned, and still use the mana. If they have a way to untap things, phase them out, or bounce them, they can keep you from "stealing" mana as well, since the card only cares what's tapped when your main phase comes around. Also, keep in mind that the mana pool still exists, and emptying it can be important to disrupting certain strategies. |

Though about Panharmonicon and Teysa. I'm sure we will see something like this on real cards soon enough... Pon Mandul, Elven Pariah Legendary Creature - Elf Wizard  Trample If a creature attacking causes a triggered ability of a permanent you control to trigger, that ability triggers an additional time. 3/3 Gira Mandul, River Ourcast Legendary Creature - Merfolk Shaman First strike If a player casting a spell causes a triggered ability of a permanent you control to trigger, that ability triggers an additional time. 2/3 Scar Mandul, Rebellous Rascal  Legendary Creature - Elf Merfolk First trike, trample Whenever Scar Mandul, Rebellous Rascal attacks, spells you cast this turn cost 1 less. Whenever you cast a spell, Scar Mandul, Rebellous Rascal gets +1/+0 until end of turn. 1/3 |

Sfagimancy Sorcery  Until end of turn, you gain “Whenever a creature dies, scry 2.” Then, each creature gets -2/-2 until end of turn. |

sdfkjgh Giving a player an ability sounds like a funny idea. I think the rules conform way to do this would be something like Benefactor's Draught: Until end of turn, whenever a creature dies, scry 2. All creatures get -2/-2 until end of turn. And I think Talionas Sanction is brokenly powerful.

It's like "When I have more life than you, I can't lose." Plus even if not, it can exile every threat to your life.
I think it's just that four mana and no drawback is way too good for this. It looks okay-ish for free-for-all multiplayer.

Flo00: Well, I did kinda design it primarily with multiplayer in mind, just like this next card:
A while back, there was a Magic presentation at a Pax (I think it was a Pax), where someone asked what would happen in a fight between Phyrexians and Eldrazi, and someone from the panel answered something along the lines of "Phyrexianized Eldrazi? I don't know, I just know it'd be horrible & unfortunate for the rest of us!"
So, let's explore that horrific timeline, shall we?
Emrakul, Glorious Compleation  Legendary Creature--Elder Eldrazi Horror You may get nine poison counters rather than pay this spell’s mana cost.
Emrakul, Glorious Compleation can only be cast from exile.
Flash
Flying, trample, hexproof, infect
Annihilator X, where X is the number of poison counters defending player has.
If Emrakul, Glorious Compleation would deal combat damage to a player, you may divide that damage among any number of players instead. {Phyrexian watermark} 20/20 |

What if Storrev, Devkarin Lich and Scion of Darkness got freaky?
Necro-Rumbler Creature--Zombie Beast Wizard First strike, trample
Whenever Necro-Rumbler deals combat damage to a player or planeswalker, you may return target permanent card with converted mana cost of X or less from a graveyard to the battlefield under your control, where X is that much damage. 6/6 |

I don't know anymore. Practice Makes Perfect - Enchantment Change the text of each spell you cast by adding "Where X is the number of Creature, Instant, and Sorcery cards in your graveyard" to the end of any number of sentences with an "X" in them. Not. Broken. At. All. --- Unearthly Choir - Sorcery Rebound Splice onto Colorless -  |

While watching this, I thought of this Un- card:
The 1,002 Nights Sorcery Players play a Magic subgame, using their libraries as their decks. Each player who wins the subgame takes an extra turn after this one. Exile The 1,002 Nights. ------------------------ ERRATA: The 1,002 Nights is Restricted in all formats except Extended.
Yes, that is the flavor text. Yes, it does also count as rules text. Yes, I am aware that Extended is no longer supported,  |

Sproket Cloner  Legendary Artifact Whenever you cast an artifact spell, put that spell card on the bottom of your library, then create a token that’s a copy of that artifact. ------------------------------------------ The Engines of Vesuva are always perfectly in tune.
How I want this to work: The artifact spell is bounced, Venser, Shaper Savant-style, to the bottom of library, but u get a token copy of that artifact for your troubles. |

Attal, Degeneration's Liege - Legendary Creature - Devil Shaman Attal, Degeneration's Liege has +2/+2 for each counter on it. If a player would put a counter on a creature, that player puts a -1/-1 counter on it instead. 2/1 |

Stupid Shitpost  Enchantment  : What's this? For shame. Shitposting is  . Observe: Cruel Elevation - Enchantment Whenever a creature enters the battlefield under your control, if it has an even converted mana-cost, it gains Haste and Flying until end of turn. Sacrifice it at the beginning of the next end step. Demonic Hungers - Enchantment - Aura Enchant a creature you control. When enchanted creature dies, draw a card. If that creature had flying, each other player sacrifices a creature. A popular deck archetype when Cruel Elevation and Demonic Hungers were in standard was referred to as "Lift", since it involved giving your stuff Flying for a turn (by essentially chucking them). The deck that these particular cards appeared in was, of course, called Even Lift . Well, do you? |
