Up: Okay, I see some issues with your card. First,  has only been used as a cost twice, both of which were on artifacts (and one of them is famously banned in three of the five formats it was legal in). Secondly, the frame's all wrong. This is a colorless spell. It has a color identity of black/red, but any deck with snow sources could cast this. Third, that red clause is horrible. I get that, in theory, someone could conceivably draw a dozen cards with this, but "up to seven" is completely the wrong wording. You'd want to word it as "You can't draw more than seven cards this way". The black's not amazing either. If you have an empty hand, it at best can do some clean-up if you do a bad attack, but it just feels weak. All in all. I don't like it. 4/10 You know what are pretty lights? The stars! You know has stars about them? The godly stuff on Theros, of course! Nyxblood Tribute  Sorcery  Each player sacrifices a creature. Each player who sacrifices an enchantment creature this way draws a card. Old: Show me pretty lights! New: 3 color color identity. |

Several cards with a colorless casting cost are colored, and this seems to be following in their lead. The color pip is what makes the card br. |

Nonagon Infinity - I considered it but decided against it because I wanted to design a card that WoTC would theoretically print in a Standard-legal set, and Shroud was retired for being unintuitive so I wanted to try and portray the card as a one-off instance instead of something to be printed in large numbers. Probably should've explained that when I posted, though.

Then each player loses 1 life for each card in their hand. Each opponent discards a card. Old: Something to do with Phyrexians New: Something to do with Eldrazi |

Up: I was wondering about the last part until I realized it helps you out even if no one wins a flip and keeps you ahead of opponents cardwise. Good multiplayer-friendly design that isn't useless in 1v1s either. Sinister Prophecy Sorcery  Look at the top five cards of your library, then choose one - - You may reveal a colorless or artifact card from among them and put it on top of your library. - You may reveal a colorless artifact card from among them and put it into your hand. Then put the rest on the bottom of your library in any order. Kruphix remains forever burdened with knowledge a future he cannot stop.In reference to Kruphix glimpsing the horrors of the Eldrazi, Phyrexia, and Bolas from various planeswalkers on Theros. Phyrexian Eldrazi is a common enough custom magic trope that I wanted to try something different, so I took inspiration from the ongoing MageLaughlin group episode and made a watered down Ancient Stirrings. Let's go 3-for-3: Old: Something to do with Eldrazi New: Something to do with Bolas, but doesn't have "release great evil/create great evil" flavor. |

Up: It honestly feels like a pretty awkward way to combine Bolas and the Eldrazi, although honestly I'm not sure if there is a clean way to do so - maybe making them fight? I think this particular prompt wasn't the greatest. As for the mechanics, there are very few decks that would play a card that requires four different types of mana. The last mode seems nearly useless, so this is almost always going to be a Bad Deal that costs more life but less mana.

Up: I find it funny to have a white artifact that works against a (certain) artifact strategy. I think any card that destroys everything of some kind should at least be . Aside from that, I like it. I tried to find cards with similar effects and was amazed that the only existing card thing that destroys all equipments (and not all artifacts) is Pure // Simple. I think you copypasted the wrong "old". Your "old" should be the last post's "new". So I'll go with Related to fire, lava, or heat + Enters the battlefield as a token. And I know I just posted this card in CotW, but this is what actually made me come up with the card and then I reallized that it is perfect for the current CotW.  Dance of Flames  Sorcery Create three Flames. (They’re red enchantments with ", Sacrifice this enchantment: This enchantment deals 1 damage to any target.")Whenever a creature dies, if it was dealt damage by a Flame this turn, you may return Dance of Flames from your graveyard to your hand. Old: Enters the battlefield as a token. New: Can be tracked. |

hydraheadhunter: Slitghtly crazy card overall. I think repeatable p/t switch should be more expensive since you can do a lot of crazy things with it, especially combined with the -1/-0. A bit strange to have a blue ability that pumps power. Nonagon Infinity: That's a really crazy cost. Together with the Phage clause makes this very arkward to play. It sure is powerful. Yet it doesn't do anything "special", so I'd play a Titan or something over it any time. Now let me just take both of your challenges!  Samurai Painter Creature - Human Samurai Artist Samurai Painter gets +2/+0 for each different border color among permanents you control. Samurai Painter gets +0/+1 for each different color among your clothing. Samurai Painter has bushido X, where X is equal to the number of different eye colors among players in this game and games next to it. ----------- Painter’s Brush-Sword Artifact - Equipment Equipped creature has first strike. Whenever equipped creature attacks, until your next turn, treat target spell, permanent, border, piece of clothing or eye as if it had the color of your choice. Equip Fun enough, I had the idea first and later realized I could use Kanjuro for the art. Sadly I couldn't find a good picture featuring his brush. Also I haven't taken the effort to get me the MDFC frame yet. Yes, this has different rarities on both sides. No, I don't know how that's supposed to work. Old1: Dual faced card with different types for each side. Old2: Cares about you controlling both a black-bordered and a silver-bordered nonland permanent. New: Something with stripes.

UP: I'mma be real, I absolutely loathe this card, in part because {one piece spoilers}given recent developments, fuck Con-juro but also because keeping track of all the colors bonus seems painful, especially the second clause on the upside.
Old1: Dual faced card with different types for each side. Old2: Cares about you controlling both a black-bordered and a silver-bordered nonland permanent. New: Something with stripes. It goes againt the rules of the game, but in the interests of reviving the game, I will attempt this. Silver borders Striped Equinothropy
Two black and Two white
Legendary Enchantment - Aura
Enchant black border non-land permanent.
If it’s neither day nor night, it becomes day as Striped Equinothropy enters the battlefield.
When day becomes night, transform Striped Equinothropy transformed then merge the
enchanted permanent under it.
| The dreaded Werezebra
No cost
Legendary creature - Werezebra
Double strike
As long as you control an equal number of black border
non-land permanents and silver bordereds non-land permanents
night cannot become day (The dreaded werezebra is both a black
and a silver bordered permanent).
When night becomes day transform the dreaded were zebra then
attach it to the permanent merged under it.

UP: Really interesting, although I'm unsure about why we merge with the card underneath, wouldn't it be easier to unattach and then reattach on flip? I could be wrong but still really cool design.
I struggled to find art with stripes and queer representation til I found this. I hope this revives the game, it's one of my favorites. This card was initially worded "among other permanents you control" but my friends said it was too weak.

That would be easier yeah, but it doesn't hit the same flavor. The idea is that the curse of the werezebra is attached during the day, but at night it takes over completely. The creature becomes the werezebra.

Up: This does a break in a way that WotC did it as well with twobrid and phyrexian mana. It tecnically is a card dealing damage but you can work around the ::R: by just paying more. I'd put jump-start at the end after addendum, since the addendum part continues the other effect. Good card. Really nice fit for addendum. Warfare Practice Instant - Lesson Mill X cards, then choose a card in your graveyard with mana value X or less, where X is the number of attacking creatures you control. If you choose a permanent card this way, return it to the battlefield. Otherwise return it to your hand. If a creature is returned to the battlefield this way, it enters the battlefield tapped and attacking. Old: Something related to Strixhaven New: has a / somewhere on the card and the number before and after the / differ by at least 4, ignoring signs. No 0 allowed. (2/6 is ok, -5/-1 is ok, +2/-2 isn't, 0/4 isn't.) |

Up: My biggest issue is actually the ability to drop in an attacker after blocks. The rest seems a bit odd in RW, perhaps a color pie break, but it’s right up Lorehold’s alley Predictive Algorithm Sorcery Look at the top four cards of your library, then choose one: * Reveal up to two instant, sorcery, and/or land cards from among them and put them into your hand, and put the rest on the bottom of your library in any order. * Put those cards in your graveyard, then learn. ”Theres a 1/298023223876953125 chance of me passing this class? That can’t be right.”(There’s an and/or in the rules text, in case you missed that. Since neither is a number, I’m ignoring the other part. The flavor text is just for fun) Old: Your card contains a “/“, with the number before it being at least 4 away from the number after it, ignoring signs, with neither number being 0. (2/6 and +5/+1 are good, +2/-2 and 0/4 are not) New: Your card is an artifact creature |

Post by Flo00 on Mar 7, 2022 11:15:17 GMT
Up: Double strike, trample is really strong. Especially given the fact that she lets you dump your hand while casting her. I think this should actually either be monored or real multicolor, since double strike, trample isn't something monoblack should be able to do. Aside from that, nice card. Volatile Blizzard Snow Sorcery Until end of turn, whenever a creature or planeswalker dealt damage by this spell dies, copy this spell. Discard a card at random. When you do, choose any target. Volatile Blizzard deals damage to that target equal to the discarded card’s mana value. Copying and discarding is not optional. But if you want it to stop chaining, you can just target a player.
