Because FUCK CONTROL PLAYERS, THAT'S WHY!!!
Burning Grudge  Enchantment  This spell can’t be countered if you control no permanents named Burning Grudge.
Whenever a spell you control is countered by a spell or ability an opponent controls, that spell you control deals damage equal to its converted mana cost to that opponent or target permanent that opponent controls. |

I missed out on the recent Commander Game challenge, but it seemed like a fun one, so I decided to try it anyway. The random card that needed to synergize with my commander was Wood Elves.  |

kefke: Arothel inspired this thought process:
turn 3: You have Arothel online. Tap two Forests and a Breeding Pool to cast Wood Elves, searching up a forest, add from the trigger, tap a forest to add another , play your land for the turn, add from the trigger, tap that land for , cast another Wood Elves, search up a forest, add from the trigger, tap that forest for , tap Arothel targeting the Breeding Pool, add from the trigger, pay 2 life to have Breeding Pool enter untapped, tap 9Breeding Pool9Breeding Pool to add  , cast Elvish Visionary, cast this:
Krosan Invigorator Creature--Beast  Trample
When Krosan Invigorator enters the battlefield, untap all permanents you control. 4/4 |

Utopian CommuneLand (  ) When Utopian Commune enters the battlefield, you gain 3 life. Untap Utopian Commune during each player's untap step.  : Add one mana of any color. Any player may activate this ability, but only during their turn. No idea what rarity this should be.

Inspired by an Arena game I played recently: Questing Beast & Vivien, Arkbow Ranger vs my two ascended Wayward Swordtooth & me at 2 life:
Necroproliferation  Enchantment All creatures have trample and deathtouch.
Communal Ability— , Sacrifice a nontoken creature: You create X 1/1 green Saproling creature tokens, where X is the sacrificed creature’s toughness.
Any player may activate a Communal Ability. |

Another card I designed in my sleep:
Erupting Wings Tribal Enchantment--Demon Aura Enchant creature
Flash
Enchanted creature gets +2/-2, has flying, and is a Demon in addition to its other types. |

The name comes from the Greek for "to empty" or "to be empty", αδειάζω, <adeiázo>, because I'm never not on my bullshit.

Goes infinite with Rite of Passage... but that's more awesome than anything else.
Today in Bad Idea Theater: Memories of the Wilds - Sorcery Each player reveals their hand and discards each nonland card revealed this way. Then each player searches their library for a number of land cards equal to the number of cards they've discarded this way, reveals them, puts them into their hand, then shuffles their library. *Laughs in Golgari* |

Myrmiton Legendary Artifact Creature - Myr At the beginning of your upkeep, you may make a token that is a copy of another target myr creature you control. Grandeur — Discard another card named Myrmiton: Return target non-legendary myr creature card from your graveyard to the battlefield. 2/2 I really like the idea of the mechanic Grandeur, and am disappointed that EDH/Commander has essentially ruined all chances of it possibly getting another glance back. In fact, I am disappointed that EDH/Commander has ruined the concept of legendary creatures being synergistic with multiples of a card.

Remember, Communal Abilities can be activated by any player:
Necromancer's Realm Legendary Enchantment If Necromancer’s Realm is in your opening hand, you may cast it without paying its mana cost if you discard the rest of your hand.
Flash
If a nontoken creature would enters the battlefield from a nongraveyard zone, put that card into its owner’s graveyard instead.
Communal Ability— : You return target creature card with converted mana cost of X from a graveyard to the battlefield under your control. Activate this ability only at any time you could cast a sorcery.

Umm...this and Leyline of the void?

Post by sdfkjgh on Dec 5, 2019 16:55:53 GMT
burntsquirrelman: Yeah, there's that, too. My hope is that since Necromancer's Realm is symmetrical, you play it in a creature deck, but control players will prolly put it into creatureless decks alongside Leyline of the Void, thereby robbing all players of normal wincons. If I could figure out a way to properly template "you can't play Necromancer's Realm in a deck with fewer than 20% creatures", I'd be sure to put that on it.

So, a few friends and I were trying to brainstorm some custom commander ideas. We were having a bit of trouble coming up with something that we wanted to design cards around, when I had an epiphany and we were all just sorta dumbfounded that none of us thought of it earlier. I had run a D&D campaign that was set in the MtG Multiverse and the players were Planeswalkers, going about messing stuff up, as per what Planeswalkers do. So I suggested that we build Legendary Creatures around the characters that showed up in the game.  This is Gilded-Claw, a Nezumi from Kamigawa that had amassed a horde of bandits to raid and attack various villages, keeps, and cities, while she and a smaller group of thieves would sneak in during the chaos and steal a bunch of stuff. She never wanted to conquer land or territories, though. She just wanted to hoard more stuff. Her second-in-command tried to kill her to usurp her position, because they disagreed and thought that they should take over great swaths of territory.  Havax is a Lich that was created by a group of Planeswalkers and set to eternally guard and keep imprisoned a dangerous and immortal entity of immense power. This being resides inside of his phylactery, giving him an infinite source of life energy to siphon. He runs a massive Prison Complex, that was built up over the years by various other 'Walkers to house potentially catastrophic items and peoples. He hates his job. |

havax is cool and sweepy but vigilance isn't black It's White, though, and he has a B/W cost. Arguably, he could just be mono-White (following the Ahmonket precedent), but I think it can be argued that he's "flavoured Black". Especially if the character was still evil, which liches generally are. A colour bend to be sure, but not outside the reasonable design space for a legendary creature meant to provide a good Commander, I think. I don't even think it warrants the "homebrew is wish-fulfilment, and should therefore be allowed more leeway to do things differently" argument. Colour bends happen, especially when necessary for a card to fill a particular role, or appropriate for flavour, and this is both. |

Seems a bit powerful for CMC 3 at first glance, but I lack context. Judging by the name, I'd say silver-border, so it's probably okay. |

I am gonna side with Fluffy here, and it was totally something that slipped past me, and something that I will be fixing. I do want to try and make cards that fall within MtG's rules for colors, mechanics, and flavor.

Sure, it’s a bend, but that is allowed for flavor and other reasons. If it doesn’t undermine a weakness of the color, it’s fair game. Compare that to our friend Greg, who does undermine green’s weakness by having unconditional removal even if your board’s empty |

Hazardous Rake Artifact Whenever a creature attacks you or a planeswalker you control, that creature’s controller flips a coin. If they lose the flip, Hazardous Rake deals 2 damage to that creature.
A deck can have up to thirteen cards named Hazardous Rake.
Teferi: Not that Rake, you idiot!
Ral: It was a good show.
Oh gods, I still lust after Necar. The woman has poise.
Ral: And an ass that's to die for.
Teferi: Aren't you in a stable, loving gay marriage?
Ral: Listen, sweetcheeks, nobody's that gay!
Teferi: So anyway, between her and Marlene Dietrich, you certainly seem to have a type.
Yeah. Toss in Angela Bassett to complete the trifecta. |
