melono: It's a very good design. There is only a minor wording error, I think it should have been "...create a token that's a copy of that creature, except its name is reversed and it's a Sheep...". You might have wanted to add a clause to handle copies of legendary creatures, but this is fine as it is nonetheless. Two palindromes in the card name and one in the flavor text, they nicely support the card's flavor.
Idea: That's a fun and well made design, it would be perfect for an unset. You mistyped Equipment instead of Vehicle. The entire card name and the entire text box as palindromes, that's clever.
lordpat: Now that's a cool commander. A minor wording mistake, I think it should have been "At the beginning of combat on your turn,..." The non-Vampire clause and the P/T switching are flavorful and clever choices. The entire card name is a palindrome, "mirror" is a very appropriate word for this prompt.
vizionarius: The possibilities that this machine god offers are vast, I'd raise its cost by at least because of them. Two palindromes in the card name, it's a fitting name for this creature.
emberfire17: Again, a fun and well made design, perfect for an unset. The card name is a palindrome, its meaning is well represented through the card's effects; the person that made that word might be the same that named the fear of long words "Hippopotomonstrosesquippedaliophobia".
twintania: I'd add a "you control" clause to the copying effect. The lifegain effect seems to me a bit too much for that mana cost, you could rebalance it by making it "for each basic Forest" or by raising the spell's cost by . The card name is a palindrome, it conveys well the lifegain effect but I don't think that it does the same for the copying effect.
The winner is melono! With lordpat and emberfire17 as runnerups.

Meant to make the turn into more of a palindrome with it's ability too! Yeah, it's strong... + cost is likely appropriate.

The card name is a palindrome, it conveys well the lifegain effect but I don't think that it does the same for the copying effect. I overlooked the fact the last copy spell that's a kind of Fork was printed a decade ago. Indeed, copying opponent's spell is very superior to your one in tempo advantage. How much do you think is the valid cost for the copy? Clone type effect is almost 4 mana and Sculpting Steel is 3 mana so an instant and sorcery copy that doesn't care who cast it would be 3, I think. And about life gain, I considered its weakness in early turns and restriction on your deck importantly, but in an appropriate deck it would produce 7 or more life so it is true I undervalued the life gaining. I think 2GUU would be reasonable now though I feel it is a bit heavy. Ivy is Ivy, Gleeful Spellthief. Doesn't it make sense yet?

twintania I also think that 3 would be an adequate mana value cost for the copy. The spell's cost could be 1GUU or GGUU, I agree that 2GUU is a bit heavy. I didn't know that card, so the spell makes you eat her life essence? Poor fairy.

Thanks for the win! Now let us go out on a limb, and create a card with a name that pertains to one or more appendages of the human body.

An Arm // A Leg (split card, with Obscura watermark) An Arm Instant Put a defender counter on target creature an opponent controls. "Thank you for lending a hand." // A Leg Instant Put a -1/-1 counter on target creature an opponent controls. It can no longer block. "Your donation keeps our operations running."

Idea - Heads Have Rolled: a neat possible boardwipe, but it is quite inconsistent due to the D8, making its cost and rarity be quite proper. This dice throwing would not work very well for dice-manipulation decks though, as the other players throw their own dice, which doesn't work with things like Krark's Thumbvizionarius - An Arm and A Leg: A neat opposite effect between arm and leg that makes a nice, flexible, flavorful common. ameisenmeister - Go For The Head: The classic Mind Rot that turns into a Hymn to Tourach with the right conditions. I did at first think the title would refer to a kill spell, but this also makes total sense. The winner is vizionarius for the flavorful limb-splitting split card.

Thanks for the win! I was hoping to get to doing a card image, but didn't get the chance to. Next: Make the name of the card have an exclamation! Make it black-bordered.

I hope this is ok?
Name your Price! Scheme When you set this Scheme in motion, target opponent chooses a number. When they do, choose one — • That player loses that much life. • You lose that much life and control that player during their next turn.

FeedbackIdea: The card has great overall flavor! Awesome reference in the flavor text. Reminds me of a Norin the Weary effect, but the added doesn't feel off since it's also just an Unsummon. twintania: Nice!! Taking the prompt to the extreme. The card feels strong, but maybe not too strong? It essentially combines Consider and Strike It Rich (as instant but no flashback). I like it! Flo00: Whoa! Didn't expect a Scheme, but it works! And that's a strong card! And very flavorful! moweda: Good name for the ability! There is a card that does this at a cheaper cost ( Render Silent), so I think yours at 4 cmc could have an additional effect like scry 2, draw a card, or gain 3 life, etc. pernicious: I wish it had a bit of a combo/mechanical reference to Ach! Hans, Run! Appropriate name to the effects on the card! It could probably be a 3/2 or 3/3 even and still be an uncommon without it being too strong. WinnerGood entries! I'll go with Flo00 as the winner for a card that I can totally hear in Bolas' voice.

moweda _moweda Good name for the ability!

I wasn't paying attention to MtG during Dragons maze and somehow I missed that card while searching. Kinda cool to write a card so similar to something that actually got published. I honestly thought I had undercosted if anything. Thanks for the feedback and comgrats to the winner!

Thanks for the win vizionarius!
Next challenge: Make a card with a one-word name that starts with the last letter in your username and ends witht he first letter in your username! You can make up fantasy words.
Ignore numbers. So for me that would be a word starting with o and ending with f.
EDIT: Ignore any non-letter characters. In your username and the card name.

Flo00 is still valid if the last letter but not the last character in the name is the first letter of the username?

Because I know the effect is super long (which pretty much why I made it silver border), here it is in plain text: Anti Instant Choose an instant or sorcery spell or a triggered or activated ability. If its effects would have a player gain life, they lose that much life instead. If they would deal damage to a player or make them lose life, they gain that much life instead. If it would put or remove counters, it does the other instead. If it would make a player draw one or more cards, they discard that many cards instead. If it would make a player discard cards, they draw that many cards instead. If it would return one or more creatures from anywhere to the battlefield or create one or more creature tokens, instead that spell or ability’s controller must sacrifice that many creatures. If it would have a player sacrifice one or more creatures, instead for each one they choose a creature they control and create a copy of it, choosing a different creature each time up to that number. If it would counter a spell instead that spell’s controller creates a copy of that spell.

{Spoiler} Malysis, Whimsical Ersatz Legendary Creature - Fractal Demon You may exile three tapped creatures you control with mana value 3 rather than pay this card's mana cost. If you do, Malysis gains haste, and it’s returned from the battlefield to its owner’s hand at the beginning of the next end step. When ~ enters the battlefield, up to three target creatures phase out. 3/3 "Time's a wasting, oh mighty mage-aspirant! I'll need a gargoyle's ear, brushwag hands, and trilobite feed for your new little home remedy."A gimmicky creature meant to evoke the likes of Solitude and Grief while referencing flavors and designs of The Color Purple for the hell of it.

Have you ever read Blood Meridian? It's a good book, in my opinion.
