Miscellaneous Card Design Thread

Zuty: Yeah, the cost was just slapped on it, because I didn't know what should it be. Thanks anyway.

Bloody Hourglass
Artifact
When ~ enters the battlefield, choose an opponent.
At the beginning of your upkeep, the chosen opponent loses 1 life.
Looks harmless until you realize it's half-full.

And a question outside MtG: If in a card game there would be a card type that would represent both living creatures and inanimate constructions, how would you name it?

Zuty: Nah, like Magic's creature (there are both Warriors and Walls), but there would be more constructions than in Magic.

burntsquirrelman: Thanks, I'll consider this. Also, what is the origin of your username?

Since sdfkjgh didn't post there in a while, which probably means he's busy as hell (he normally posts a card there every few hours, at least in the past threads), what I was up to again... oh, yes.

You know the three blue Power 9 cards, right? Ancestral Recall, Time Walk, and Timetwister? I challenge you to make three white cards that would be as powerful as those three.

Meanwhile I drop some card:

Mana Dam
Enchantment
At the beginning of your upkeep, look at the top card of your library. If it's a land card, you may reveal it and put it on bottom of your library.

Kinda no clue which color should this be in, even if it's undercosted (And I believe it might be a bit undercosted).

Thanks sdfkjgh I'm very proud of it, just never had a set in mind. They are free for anyone to steal.

@gorgonzola: Oh man. Knowing what I do about baked-goods-bribery, you're making me wanna turn its use towards the dark side.  I can just picture building a Golgari deck around these two cards, bringing it and a homemade muffin tray to battle, then springing the deck on everybody after they've all eaten my muffins!

not sure. I've never had protection from them... I love sugar too much.

That last one... I can think of something else to call "consuming cleavage"...

@gorgonzola - My name has a history dating back to the early 2000's, when I was first being introduced to a little game called "Dungeons and Dragons". Being really excited about all the possibilities that the game opened up and downloading every possible Random Generator for D&D I could think of at the time, there was one generator I had a lot of fun with. It was a Tavern and Inn generator that had a surprising amount of customization and options.

During one of my bouts of generating an tavern, I accidentally made one called "The Squirrel and Lettuce". I had immediately thought this name hilarious and promptly began to change all of the details about the tavern. One of the things you could generate was food items, so I started changing those as well. Plates of Roasted Squirrel garnished on a plate of Lettuce and all that. But the creme dela creme was dessert: The Burnt Squirrel Crumble. I had even gone so far as to make a "recipe" for it, that included needing a furnace forged from obsidian, wood chopped from a living Ent, a fire lit by Dragon Breath, and so on.

So as not to make this post pointless, here is a card as well.

Oof, too soon ... And yes, I know it has been over 170 years.

I made a mechanic:

Courageous Recruit
Creature - Human Soldier
Lifelink
Affirm - As long as you have more life than your starting life total, ~ gets +1/+1.
1/1

What do you think about the mechanic as a way to make lifegain relevant? And what about the card itself? I know it is pretty strong, but what level of strong?
