    Create a MTG Card..

    Saw a thread like this over on xkcd forums and thought it was a cool idea.. the idea is to think up a Magic: The Gathering card.

    The basic rules are..
    - you have to use the card name made up by the person posting before you
    - you have to provide a card name for the person posting after you
    - you can use any game mechanic from any expansion, except for ante and banding because no one plays ante and banding is DUMB.
    - you can make "broken" cards and "Unglued" cards
    - creature cards must have at least one creature type
    - flavor text is optional, as is an actual image mockup of your card

    Example (this is the card I thought up on xkcd):

    Cunning Fugitive - 1UU - Creature: Wizard
    2/2
    1UU: Cunning Fugitive gains +1/+1 and shadow until end of turn.
    3, T, Sacrifice Cunning Fugitive: Draw two cards, then choose and discard a card.
    The fugitives are anonymous. The fugitives are legion.


    OK your turn.. totally uncreative card name here - "Just As Planned"

    Just as Planned - 2UU - Enchantment

    Play this card Face Down

    During target opponents next turn choose one effect, then shuffle "Just as Planned" back into your library:
    If the opponent has played a non-creature spell she discards 2 cards. You draw 2 cards
    If the opponent has played a creature spell she sacrifices the creature. You gain life equal to the sacrificed creatures casting cost.

    Psst... Didn't leave a card for the next person.

    I use to have the old templates from MiseTings until I lost them in a reformat. And now they're no longer available. Allows me to do stuff like this:



    Also, it looks like the old BG Card thread was lost to the ages.

    When a spell fails to resolve (whether it be creature, instant, sorcery, or enchantment), the caster takes damage equal to that spell's converted casting cost.

    DOH too late..
    Spoiler: show
    Mons' Pearl Trident - 3
    Legendary Artifact - Equipment
    Attach: 2
    R: Put a 1/1 artifact goblin token into play. You may play this ability once per turn.
    2, Sacrifice a goblin: Deal 1 damage to target player.
    4, Sacrifice Mons' Pearl Trident: Destroy two target nonbasic lands. Deal 2 damage to all creatures and players.
    His raiders thought he was smart, but Mons gained his rank by being unlucky enough to harness the trident's power.

    You gain control of all creatures in play with toughness 2 or less. Your opponent gains control of all creatures in play with toughness 3 or greater.

    Whenever a new creature is put into play, you gain control of it if it has toughness 2 or less while your opponent gains control of it if it has toughness of 3 or greater.

    Playing this card lets your opponent know they've activated your trap card.

    When "Equip Dupe" is put into play, this card receives all abilities and equipment cost of target Equipment card in play.

    When a creature is equipped with this card, creature is sent to the graveyard after the end of the player's turn. "Equip Dupe" remains in play.

    Haterade - 2GW - Enchantment
    Fading 3 (When this card comes into play, put 5 fade counters on it. During its owner's upkeep phase, remove a fade counter.)

    At the beginning of each player's upkeep phase, they may place a Hater counter on up to X target creatures, where X is the number of fade counters on Haterade.

    Any creature with a Hater counter gains +2/+1 and First Strike. At end of any player's turn, remove any creature with a Hater counter from the game and deal 1 damage to that creature's controller.

    Next: Taj the Worldwalker

    +2 Accidentally target players hand.
    -1 Until end of turn, state based effects are no longer checked.
    -10 For the rest of the game, if an opponent would play a spell, that spell is countered. When a spell is countered this way, remove it from the game instead of placing it in a graveyard. You may play cards removed from the game this way without paying it's mana cost.

    T: Add UB to your mana pool.
    2,T: Look at target player's hand and choose a creature, sorcery, or land card there. You may either play that card as an instant (creatures and lands come into play under your control), OR remove it from the game, then search all players' libraries, hands and graveyards for the same card and remove them from the game.

    The background check is perfect for weeding out bad server transfers, or just blowing up a reputation.

    Kalu you inspired me! Next: I Got Nuttin'/Banding is Dumb (split card maybe?)
