Tom Tomat : First, welcome to the forums! Second, this one you've got here looks rather mono-  to me. Even nice, but the gimmick is hard to achieve. Plus, since it does practically nothing in vacuum, I don't think it's good for Limited. Would make it mythic, but then the exciting feeling of opening a mythic to get this... IDK, looks like a super-Johnny card and not worth the effort IMO. Back to the Homelands  Sorcery  Target player exiles his or her hand, opens a sealed Homelands booster pack and puts all the cards into their hand. (That player removes those cards from their deck before beginning a new game.)ERRATA: If that player doesn't own any Homelands booster pack, you have to provide one.

I'm making a prehistoric themed set ![]() and really came to like this design, but the colors are wrong and I don't think I'll have additional combat phases. Maybe I'll use this in a reworked form in some set at some point. I think you want this to get a static or triggered buff so it's not completely worthless, e.g., "At the beginning of each combat phase after the first, CARDNAME gets +3/+3 until end of turn." @gorgonzola - Keywording the Path of Bravery mechanic is problematic-- Wizards tends to discourage lifegain as a primary strategy because it slows down games, but it's also really easy for your cards with it to not meet the threshold without support. It's also not very exciting -- fateful hour was a whiff for much the same reasons. ~~~ Plowshare Program   Instant  This spell costs less to cast if it targets a creature you control. Exile target creature. Its controller gains life equal to its power. |

I've been playing Arena for the past 2 or 3 days, and I've found the shuffler to be somewhat malicious towards me. No amount of deck tweaking seems to change the frequency with which I get either manascrewed or manaflooded. This experience led me to create a card, but I was wondering if there was any way to simplify the wording so it didn't look like War and Peace:
Biosys, Gaea's Avatar    Legendary Creature--Avatar Incarnate  Eminence—As long as Biosys, Gaea’s Avatar is in the command zone, If a player would draw a card, they may instead choose land or nonland and reveal cards from the top of their library until they reveal a card of the chosen kind. That player puts that card into their hand and puts all other cards revealed this way on the bottom of their library in any order.
Trample
Biosys, Gaea’s Avatar’s power and toughness are each equal to the number of permanents you control.
As long as Biosys, Gaea’s Avatar is on the battlefield, if you would draw a card, you may instead choose land or nonland and reveal cards from the top of your library until you reveal a card of the chosen kind. Put that card into your hand and put all other cards revealed this way on the bottom of your library in any order. */*
Of course, the way that I wrote it was:
Eminence--As long as CN is in the command zone, (Abundance for all players). Trample CN's p&t are each equal to the number of permanents you control. As long as CN is on the battlefield, (Abundance just for you). |

You could cut a lot of text off this by having eminence work like it does on the canon cards, having the same effect both on the battlefield and in the command zone. You could also make the ability require ? |

You could also make the ability require ? The problem with that is, I don't want it to work the same either way. I want there to be an incentive to having it on the battlefield, and that incentive is that the ability only works for you. |

sdfkjgh : Well try to fit all that text into a card lmao. I also see that you like costs that almost nobody except in a rainbow EDH deck would cast. Soul Expeller  Creature - Human Wizard Flash When ~ enters the battlefield, counter target creature spell. "Nobody asked you to be here."2/2 Moss Carapace Enchantment - Aura Enchant creature When ~ enters the battlefield, draw a card. Totem armor (If enchanted creature would be destroyed, instead remove all damage from it and destroy this Aura.)

What do you think about this? Ursinize Enchantment - Aura Enchant creature Enchanted creature is a Bear with base power and toughness 2/2 and loses all abilities. "I had to do this. He was... unbearable ."
-Lignus, hermit shamanAlso... Blazing Doomsday Sorcery As an additional cost to cast ~, sacrifice ten permanents at random. ~ deals 20 damage to target player or planeswalker and each creature that player or that planeswalker's controller controls. (wat) |

Blazing Doomsday is borked because it's really bloody easy to get ten permanents  Slumbering Lavagulin Creature - Spider Horror Suspend 3 -- Lifelink, deathtouch Whenever a time counter is removed from CARDNAME, each opponent loses 1 life and you gain 1 life. 2/4 Kyssta the Bladeweaver Legendary Creature - Human Warrior Whenever a creature enters the battlefield under your control, it gets +X/+0 and gains haste until end of turn, where X is that creature's converted mana cost. Dash 1/2 The Time Eater Legendary Creature - Slug Wizard Deathtouch Whenever a player casts a spell, put a time counter on CARDNAME. Then, if there are twelve or more time counters on CARDNAME, remove them all from CARDNAME, end the turn, and transform The Time Eater. 1/5 /// Time Eater, Awakened Legendary Creature - Slug Avatar Deathtouch, lifelink Whenever a player casts a spell, put a time counter on CARDNAME. Then, if there are seven or more time counters on CARDNAME, remove them all from CARDNAME, then target opponent loses 7 life and you gain 7 life. Then end the turn. 3/7 Waifish Predator Creature - Werewolf Horror Whenever CARDNAME attacks, you may pay . If you do, transform CARDNAME. Stuck in the form of a beast, she wanted her beauty back. 3/2 /// Alluring Howlfiend Creature - Eldrazi Werewolf Trample Discard two cards: Target creature blocks CARDNAME this turn if able. Emrakul made her beautiful, and so much more. 6/4 |

I know I'm a little early or late with this, but my experiences with the Arena shuffler have been less than stellar, as it always gives me the wrong card type in every clutch situation.
Warscape Poppies Legendary Enchantment Whenever a creature dies, its controller may reveal cards from the top of their library until they reveal a land card. If they do, that player puts that land card onto the battlefield tapped and the rest on the bottom of their library in a random order. |

I noticed that Wizards of the Coast has yet to create an Attribute/Property of the Battlefield. As opposed to Characteristics, like Mana-cost, or Power and Toughness, or Name, Attributes and Properties are added on. These include a creature being Monstrous, or that a Player has Ascended. There's a lot more to it than that, but I'm simplifying it.
So, I wanted to create a card that cared about potential Attributes of the Battlefield.
EDIT
Render failed...text version is posted further down...

Danger Room Enchantment If a player would leave the room, that player loses the game instead. At the beginning of each player's upkeep, that player puts a dry counter on ~, then drinks a glass of water for each dry counter on ~. If that player can't, they lose the game.

@gorgonzola: Can we not make cards that can potentially kill players? Please? Seriously, water intoxication is a thing.
Etreya of the Murk Legendary Creature - Elf Archer Whenever Etreya of the Murk attacks or blocks, you may have it fight target creature with flying. : Target creature gains flying until end of turn. 2/4 Because I think "grant flying/wreck flying" would be a hilarious archetype for
Corona of Dread Enchantment Creatures with menace have +2/+0. Creatures without menace have -1/-1. Fear so thick you could cut it with a knife.Horror-Eyed Nothing Creature - Horror Deathtouch, Menace Other creatures you control with menace have +1/+1. "Don't worry, Hans. There's nothing the-"3/2 Invoker of Panic Creature - Human Shaman Menace Creature spells with menace you cast cost less to cast. War is not a matter of stronger arms or better steel - it's a matter of who breaks first.2/2 Terror Marshal Creature - Goblin Warrior Menace Other creatures you control with menace have +1/+0. : Other creatures you control with menace gain first strike until end of turn. 2/2 Because why should Blue have all the "keyword tribal" fun? |

Lady Mapi : Time Walk Variant #24 Sorcery As an additional cost to cast ~, drink water until you feel ill. Take an extra turn after this one. One tank will do.Consuming Flames Instant As you cast this, set it on fire. As long as ~ is on the stack, it has "When you stop holding ~, counter it." ~ deals 6 damage to target creature or player.

@gorgonzola : Honestly I agree with amechra that it's best not to make cards that could get people killed. Also it's kind of a bit of dick move to tag someone in something after they've literally told you that they aren't into that kind of thing, tbh. Lady Mapi : Keyword tribal as a concept is neat, but that GU archetype runs the risk of screwing with the color pie. I love Corona of Dread and Invoker of Panic, though. Taking a shot at some subtle flash support.` Flashpowder Instant Remove target creature from combat and tap it. Whenever you cast a creature spell on an opponent's turn, you may exile Flashpowder from your graveyard. If you do, remove target creature from combat and tap it. Ambush Albatross Creature - Bird Flash Flying When CARDNAME or another creature enters the battlefield under your control, it gets +0/+1 and gains flying until end of turn. 2/3 Silvered Lightblade Creature - Human Assassin Whenever another creature enters the battlefield under your control, that creature gets +3/+3 until end of turn. "It's not fighting dirty if you're fighting against scum." 2/2 |

Lady Mapi : Keyword tribal as a concept is neat, but that GU archetype runs the risk of screwing with the color pie. I actually had this as an archetype in Mercadian Tides! It wasn't terrible actually. My larger problem is with menace tribal-- if you're going to pick a keyword to do tribal for, it's got to be one with backwards compatibility, like first strike or trample or something. |

I thought of doing trample tribal, but menace called to me, and I answered. Besides, it'd make a good BR aggro archetype - throw in some red combat tricks, maybe a little removal and "whenever it deals combat damage" effects... FleurThose are some nice cards for flash tribal. Isn't flash supposed to be UG, though? |

Fleur: Silvered Lightblade is a bit of a no-go for two reasons. 1) is only supposed to be able to grant a maximum of +2/+2; 2) Primal Forcemage exists.

Fashion Police Creature - Human
When Fashion Police enters play, choose a player. Creatures whose color(s) is/are different than chosen player's outfit have -1/-1 while Fashion police is in play.
"Although history has show that fashion trends are cyclical, the introduction of specialized courts to deal with fashion faux-pas have had an impact, resulting in fewer "ironic" fashion statements and other breaches of good taste."

And now for an absolutely silly idea that has no real use in any format except to (potentially) piss off the tournament organizers...
Mutually-Assured Destruction Enchantment
Flash, shroud, split second
As an additional casting cost, exile all creatures with the word, "platinum" in their name.
When Mutually-Assured Destruction enters play, if all players control a copy of Mutually-Assured Destruction, all players lose the game.

Stubborn Refutal Instant Counter target spell unless its controller pays . If that player doesn't and a spell would be counter this way, exile it instead of putting it into its owner's graveyard unless that player pays . If they do, return that spell to its owner's hand instead.
