Would Control players still play with this? Emergency Interdiction   Instant  This spell can’t be cast past your fourth turn of this game. Split second (As long as this spell is on the stack, players can’t cast spells or activate abilities that aren’t mana abilities.)
Counter target spell, nonmana activated ability, or triggered ability. You get an emblem with “You can’t cast instants, sorceries, or planeswalker spells.” Idea: You might wanna pick a different word to remove all possibility of confusion. |

In older formats that have a good chance of getting a T3 or earlier win it's much better than Pact for said decks though. I think in particular a lot of Into the Breach decks or similar would run it just because it becomes an easy out to protecting cheated Emrakuls. Design could be improved a bit in general tbh but up to you if you want feedback on that. |

Design could be improved a bit in general tbh but up to you if you want feedback on that. Sure, lay it on me. How'd you improve it? Long story short: - Split Second pushes this way over the top and guarantees most older format decks will run this over Pact because it can't be countered and doesn't risk blowing them out while their Show and Tell/Tendrils of Agony/etc.... is on the stack. Not strictly better as is but way better than it should be. - Same for target range. "Counter target spell" will suffice. I think turn limit + preventing spell casts for a 0 mana counterspell is relatively fair effect and looks cleaner. - Not really convinced the emblem preventing PW spells being cast is doing anything besides taking up space as is because PWs are usually control finishers or midrange-y value engines in my (admittedly now limited) experience. If you really had to pick a third type I'd even suggest creatures or artifacts instead given the decks that benefit from this the most will usually be looking to abuse those in combination with instants and sorceries. |

Menagerie Engine  Legendary Tribal 1 Artifact-- As Menagerie Engine enters the battlefield, choose a creature type. Menagerie Engine enters the battlefield with the chosen type. Whenever a creature enters the battlefield under your control, choose each of that creature’s types. Creature spells you cast that aren’t any of the types chosen for this permanent cost less to cast. Whenever you cast a creature spell that isn’t any of the types chosen for this permanent, scry 2, then draw a card. 1I don't think I'll ever get used to "typal". Whomever told them that "tribal" has negative connotations was, at best, operating with incomplete information. NowSee here for a good, if cursory comparison.

So, just before I fell asleep (yes, it is way too late), I was thinking about this amazing apartment I saw in Washington ($2K/mo); this led me to thoughts about greed-driven inflation & artificial scarcity (a concept WotC knows all too well, no matter how much they pretend to ignore the secondary market), esp. from the pandemic, and various institutions trying to "get back the money they lost" (like, my dudes, if you're looking ahead to what you would've made had there not been a pandemic, that's the very definition of "counting one's chickens before they've hatched", and as such, was never your money in the first place)*; which led me to this little ditty; which immediately led to this: Plastic Lotus Artifact , Sacrifice Plastic Lotus: Add three mana in any combination of types. This mana can’t be spent. *My cred as this forum's resident Anarcho-Socialist remains stronk. EDIT: The apartment was at Pinnacle on Lake Washington, 1400 Lake Washington blvd N Renton, WA 98056. |

If we ever get an ability that deals combat damage at the end of the turn, this is gonna get real awkward. Quadstrike   Instant Enforced (An enforced spell can’t be cast unless it was cast from a player’s hand by paying its full mana cost. An enforced permanent can’t enter the battlefield unless it was cast from a player’s hand by paying its full mana cost.)
This spell can’t be countered by blue spells or by abilities with blue sources. Quadstrike deals 4 damage to each of four targets. You draw four cards. |

Gray Goo Artifact Flash When ~ enters the battlefield, target spell or permanent becomes a copy of ~. Wait. At first I thought this would be an interesting counter. Then I reallized that the copy will laso trigger on ETB. So it's actually "destroy target permenent" for 3 mana in blue. Crazy. |

A lil sump'un-sump'un that came to me this morning just before I woke up: Blessings of Community Instant Create X 1/1 white Citizen creature tokens, where X is your devotion to white. (Each in the mana costs of permanents you control counts toward your devotion to white.)Blessings of Knowledge  Instant You draw cards equal to your devotion to blue. (Each in the mana costs of permanents you control counts toward your devotion to blue.)Blessings of Treachery Instant Each opponent loses X life and you gain X life, where X is your devotion to black. (Each in the mana costs of permanents you control counts toward your devotion to black.)Blessings of Rage Instant When you cast this spell, until end of turn, all permanents lose all ward, hexproof, shroud, indestructible, and protection abilities and can’t have or gain any of those abilities this turn. This spell can’t be countered. This spell can target permanents with ward, hexproof, shroud, and/or protection as though they didn’t have those abilities. This spell deals X damage to target permanent, where X is your devotion to red. This damage can’t be prevented. If that permanent would leave the battlefield this turn, exile it instead. (Each in the mana costs of permanents you control counts toward your devotion to red.)Blessings of Ferocity Instant Distribute X counters from among +1/+1, lifelink, lure, reach, trample, curiosity, deathtouch, defender, haste, hexproof, indestructible, and vigilance among any number of targets, where X is your devotion to green. You may choose the same type of counter more than once. (Each in the mana costs of permanents you control counts toward your devotion to green.) |

Maybe if I ever make sets or decks again someday I'll try and include the revised version in the counterspell slot. |

Genesis Strike Instant Split second (As long as this spell is on the stack, players can’t cast spells or activate abilities that aren’t mana abilities.)Target creature you control deals damage equal to its power to any other target. If excess damage would be dealt this way, create an X/X nonlegendary token copy of the creature that dealt damage this way, where X is that much excess damage.

This is the fairest way I can think of to affect massive amounts of objects: Muraganda Triumphant Legendary Enchantment Flash This spell can’t be countered. All players, all other permanents, and all cards in all other zones lose all abilities that aren’t mana abilities and can’t have or gain any abilities that aren’t mana abilities. Truly Magic as Garfield intended! I guess it's Big TittyMana Day here at Wrigley Stadium* Ixalan Awakened  Legendary Creature--Avatar Haste, indestructible, vigilance, trample, reach When you cast this spell, choose five unique combinations of powers and toughnesses, then reveal the top ten cards of your library. For each unique power/toughness combination chosen this way, put a creature or Vehicle with that power/toughness combination from among the revealed cards onto the battlefield. Then put the rest of those cards on the bottom of your library in a random order. Ixalan Awakened’s power is equal to the total combined power of all other creatures you control, and its toughness is equal to the total combined toughness of those creatures. Nonlegendary token copies of Ixalan Awakened can’t be created. */* *If you know the reference, 10,000 Cool Points. |

Choose a Password Sorcery  Discard a card, then draw a card. Cipher (Then you may exile this spell card encoded on a creature you control. Whenever that creature deals combat damage to a player, its controller may cast a copy of the encoded card without paying its mana cost.)"And for the love of all that is unspoken, don't make it swordfish again."Just another one-off idea. Tried to throw some less crazy Broker flavortext on it and make it ambiguous if the card's about some secret trade network or a snarky commentary on technology.

Seeing anchored a few times gave me a small idea. Temporal Lock Instant Target permanent can't leave the battlefield until end of turn. "All the world's a stage, and you're not the director." - The CommanderThinking of a new "name cycle" using Doctor Who or Darkest Dungeon style naming. Something like this so far: The Commander - W? ? The Broker - R? B? ? ? They should all be 'career' roles found in a fantasy war setting, and likely ones to make dubious decisions. |
