Trying this: Color blind  Instant  Treat cards that mention colors or basic lands on their text as if they do not mention them. "Protection from white Fist strike" becomes "Protection from First strike". |

Lady Mapi: Destroy Possibility should be modal, and either have: "Target player exiles a card from their hand" or "Target player reveals their hand. You choose a card from it. That player discards that card."

Lady Mapi: Why? I just tried to say that your card as you wrote it doesn't exactly work. I didn't know how you want it to work, so I offered two possibilities. If you received my post as though I was saying to you what to do, then sorry. Otherwise, I'm not pretty sure why you want me to rewrite that card. That said... Induce Insanity   Sorcery  Target player reveals his or her hand. You choose up to two nonland cards. That player discards those cards.

I thought you wanted me to rewrite the card - sorry. Also, neither of your suggestions are what I was going for - I was trying to make a Black version of Unsubstantiate. I do, however, now see why it doesn't work. I don't want to go modal (because the whole reason that Unsubstantiate is cool to me is the parallel with stuff like Naturalize.) Back to the drawing board, I guess.
A little fun with -1/-1 counters.  isn't normally my jam, but... Mother Hiss is  to cover ALL the snakes. Blessings of the Serpent - Sorcery Remove all counters from target permanent. You gain 2 life for each counter removed this way. "Mother Hiss, come and fill us with your hate."Gatherer of Toxins - Creature - Snake Cleric At the beginning of your upkeep, put a -1/-1 counter on target creature you control. Creatures you control with -1/-1 counters on them have +1/+0 and deathtouch. Either it will kill you, or you will kill with it.2/3 Invoke the Blight -  Instant Put a -1/-1 counter on target creature, then destroy target permanent with a counter on it. A thread of oblivion streams through all things. Sometimes, a touch of magic is enough to bring it to the fore.Mother Hiss - Legendary Creature - Snake God  Creatures you control have +1/+1 for each counter on them. Creatures you don't control have -1/-1 for each counter on them. Mother Hiss cannot be blocked by creatures with counters on them. 4/3 Scarscale Mendicant - Creature - Snake Cleric  Scarscale Apex has +3/+3 and trample as long as there is a -1/-1 counter on it. There is no strength without suffering.2/1 |

I'm making a couple of joke cards of my friends that can be used as their commanders in casual games. Do you guys think these seem okay? I think they might a bit too wordy, haha (their pictures used with permission) --- Attachment DeletedAttachment DeletedAttachment DeletedI was trying to make a Black version of Unsubstantiate. I do, however, now see why it doesn't work. I don't want to go modal (because the whole reason that Unsubstantiate is cool to me is the parallel with stuff like Naturalize.) Back to the drawing board, I guess. I guess if it read "Target player reveals their hand. Exile a card from that hand or from a graveyard." it would work okay. Maybe you could come up with a better solution! |

I am pretty sure that red was reserved.
On the next of the cards what does tribute do? Is this a Yu-Gi-Oh card?
I am not 100% familiar with all the templates for cards so what is an invocation? Is it like an instant and sorcery or a permanent? What's the difference from existing cards?

Bright red is reserved for mods, but other shades of red are fine by us.

Mana Bank  Artifact Whenever you cast a spell, you may pay . If you do, put a charge counter on Mana Bank.
Remove a charge counter from Mana Bank: Add  .
This next one was inspired by reading today's Making Magic:
The Epic of Gilgamesh Legendary Enchantment--Saga (As this Saga enters and after your draw step, add a lore counter. Sacrifice after III.) I--Create Gilgamesh, a legendary 6/6 green Human Warrior creature token with hexproof, indestructible, and trample. II--A Gilgamesh creature you control fights target creature an opponent controls. III--Sacrifice a Gilgamesh you control. At the beginning of the next end step, return target creature card in a graveyard to the battlefield under your control, then create Gilgamesh. |

Eschaton Mage Creature - Human Wizard At the beginning of your upkeep, draw a card. ~ gets +5/+5 if there are five or fewer cards in your library. "The end is nigh-- as it damn well should be."2/2 Thought process: "how do you break Archives"

Jace's Art Class - Instant Each player draws a picture. Then each player that drew a kitty draws two cards. "Don't follow your muse - follow mine!"- Jace BelerenYou know, drafts do have something a bit more... final... than exile. Worldbreaker's Hand - Instant Each player reveals their hand. Exile target card, spell, or permanent. Remove each card in exile from the draft. And some more Nobilis, because why not? Gift of Life -  Enchantment Whenever a creature you control would die, you may sacrifice a creature instead.

norenchI do not think protection does what you think it does. Protection does four things. Target: you cannot target the protected creature with [quality] Attach: you cannot attach auras or equipment with the protected quality. Damage: Prevent damage from the described quality, that would be dealt to protected creature. Block: if the card with protection would attacks, it cannot be blocked by the cards with the described quality. So, protection from counters means: Cannot be targetted by anything that is a counter. Cannot have auras or equipment that are counters attached to it. Damage dealt by counters is prevented. If it attacks, it cannot be blocked by counters. First problem you have is with wording. The placing counters on herself is not a targetted ability. Which means protection does not prevent it. I mean, it is targetted but it is not targetting the equipped creature.

So maybe word it as {loses and cannot have counters placed on it}
I removed this render and I will re-render it when I get home from work. |

Burrowing Spider Creature--Spider Reach, defender
At the beginning of your upkeep, return up to one target card from your graveyard to your hand. 4/5 Neat that people who aren't me are onboard with black reach. Less neat: recurring the same Fog/Cancel/etc every turn from your graveyard. |

Inspired by reading this column:
Rampant Hydra  Creature--Hydra Trample
Rampant Hydra enters the battlefield with two times X +1/+1 counters on it.
When Rampant Hydra enters the battlefield, reveal the top X cards of your library. Put all land cards revealed this way onto the battlefield tapped and the rest on the bottom of your library in a random order. 0/0 |

So it is rampant because it ramps, not because it is on a rampage. This thread seems more active than the card clinic. Inconspicuous Shadow
Creature - Horror
When a colorless nonland permanent enters the battlefield under your control, ~ gains flying. 3/1 |

When a colorless permanent enters the battlefield under your control, ~ gains flying. 3/1 Delver of Secrets was a mistake, in that it's a 3/2 flier for only ; your card isn't that far off, since on turn 2, you're pretty likely to have additional lands in hand. Remember, lands are colorless.
Unrelated:
Thesis and Antithesis  Instant Choose one—
• Search your library for up to two instant and/or sorcery cards, exile them, then shuffle your library.
• You may cast up to two instant and/or sorcery cards from exile this turn without paying their mana costs.
Entwine (Choose both if you pay the entwine cost.)

sdfkjgh Thanks, was tired so forgot the lands are colorless. I mean they have a color identity but that is something else, got the two confused. I am not sure why would you ever only use the second ability. There are no tutors that exile those types of cards. If they are they are rare. Second this goes against what Wizards is trying to do with exiled cards. I mean, the eldrazi got printed with cards on opponent's exile for a reason. Other than that it is an interesting take on Tooth and Nail. Maybe have it go to your hand like normal Tooth and Nail does?

You remember that one card they left from Alpha? Yeah, me neither. Hillcrusher Giant Creature - Giant Warrior ,  : Destroy target land. 6/5 If it was printed in these days, do you think would players be excited with it? |

Playing with the new Saga frame! I have no idea how to evaluate their power level but I had fun making this ¯\_(ツ)_/¯  Lady Mapi : I like Gift of Life but it replaces itself infinitely as it is (not a major problem because it's optional but still kind of weird) so maybe "If a creature you control would be destroyed"? sdfkjgh : Why make one mode completely unplayable by itself? It would work a lot better as a kicker card imo. |

I thought about flashback, and it tends to be more expensive than casting the card itself. The strategy would go faster on a self-mill deck with something like rest in peace. Tooth and nail can be used with tutors that put cards in your hand, like the Pact. There is no such thing for cards in exile. I guess it works as balancing to prevent people from breaking it like they try to with tooth and Nail. I think this could prove to be an interesting alternative to a storm finisher considering the ramp and interaction with exile. Stall or try to go fast like Storm decks. Mill yourself or simply go like storm and try to accumulate a large amount of mana use delve to exile card from your library, then cast the card and search for two Approach of the Second Sun and win, or cast Decree of Annihilation and another Thesis and Antithesis. You know, I was wrong, I found a tutor, It is called Denying Wind. You are right forgot about suspend. This card is batter than I expected. Dichotomancy. Sway the Stars and Cinder Storm or Searing Flesh. Volcanic Vision as recurrence? Worldfire and a Gutshot or any damage. You no longer need white. Just draw and ramp. Hence as to why I return to what wizards want to do with the exile zone. They want to keep it limited in ways you can interact with it. |
