 {Previous Version}  Edit: note, I realized after posting that the flow + er = flower. Just noting I meant flower as in the low sound, from flow, not the plant. |

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. |

You get an emblem with “You can’t cast instants, sorceries, or planeswalker spells.” It's pretty much a clunkier Pact of Negation which is usually used to protect combos on their game winning turn, so probably not? 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. |

Llanowar Emissary  Creature--Elf Scout  Kicker  (You may pay an additional as you cast this spell.)
When Llanowar Emissary enters the battlefield, if it was kicked, search your library for a land card and put it onto the battlefield. If that land isn’t basic, it enters the battlefield tapped. Then shuffle.  : Add . 1/1 Payment in Blood  Sorcery Each player sacrifices a creature. Each player who can’t sacrifice a creature this way sacrifices a planeswalker.

"Design a creature that turns into an artifact." "Like it becomes an artifact, it transforms into one, or does it make one when it leaves?" "Yes."  |

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.) |
