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"
