New Card Ideas

[Istanbul]

Mute is good.
ALL the dragons except Pearl (already made) and Hill (oh look, another Shivan) are uber-broken.
The trolls are strong, potentially broken. Should cost more.

 

[Duster]

How about...?

Turn and Fire RR

Untap target creature, it gains First Strike until end of turn.

-I like this card, but I think it should be, pay 2 or 2 life.

 

[Lythand]

FOR... I like that card. I think it should be pay 2 life and also to make it on the level with Wrath of God it should be 2BB

 

[Duster]

I made it 1BB because of it's drawback, there's no way around Wrath of God, but there is a way around this, hence the one less colorless mana.

I dig the 2 or 2 life idea though.
Thanks guys.

 

[Fire Slinger]

I changed the abilty on the trolls to only +0/+1 and +1/+0. Maybe the will help.

Walnut Tree Grove
1G
Enchant Land
Sacrifice enchanted land: All squirrels get +2/+2 until end of turn.

Desperation
UU
Instant
You may pay 3 life instead of paying Despiraton's casting cost.
Counter target spell.
Suffering now is better than dying later.

Seagull
U
Summon-Bird
Flying
1/1

Master Wizard
1UUU
Summon-Wizard
T: Master Wizard deals 1 damage to any creature or player. This ability is not considered targeted.
1/2

I guess the dragons should be 4/4 even though they have an upkeep of 4. Dont forget Child of Gaea is a 6cc 7/7 trample, regenerate with an upkeep of 2.

- Make life pay more or this card is BROKEN!!!!

 

[Fire Slinger]

How about 4 life? Dont want to have to pay to much life or the card would be pointless. Using it to counter a Reckless Abondon? I dont think so.

[Multani]

Tag Guard

All counterspells need to be interrupts.
Also, I don't see the point of paying life for a 2cc counterspell.

 

[Fire Slinger]

All interrupts were changed to instants in 6th ed.

You pay the life for the counterspell if you are tapped out or on the first turn. Otherwise its just like a regular Counterspell.

 

[Duster]

There's no such thing as an Interrupt anymore. Everything's an Instant. I think that was a 6th edition rule change?

Anyway,

The Desperation counterspell should cost about 2UU, Multani's got a point, there's no point paying life when it's just a normal counterspell cost. Losing 4 life instead of 3 might be better too.

The Recharge counterspell is great, maybe one more mana though, a casting cost of 2UU? I mean you are countering a spell AND gaining life.

I dunno about Confuse, something's bothering me about it, like it doesn't fit, maybe it's because it's so close to Thwart?

 

[Fire Slinger]

Wall of ????
4
Summon-Wall
Use only black or red on to cast Wall of ????.
Can block any number of rebels.
Can only block one non-Rebel creature.
All damage dealt to Wall of ???? by Rebels is reduced to zero.
Cannot be the target of white spells or abilities.
0/6

Cheetah
WW
Summon-Cat
Plainswalk
Haste
2/1

Jaguar
GG
Summon-Cat
Forestwalk
First Strike
2/1

Savvanah Goblin
RR
Protection from white
Plainswalk
1/1

Despiration is a counter that just because it has an acc doesn't mean has to be overcosted. Maybe 1UU then.

Confuse is the acc counter that they should of printed. Its in between a Daze and Thwart

[Multani]

Tag Guard

No more interrupts!!!!!
Is WOTC out of it's collective mind?!!!!!!!
Someone better have a damn good excuse for this!
P.S. I seem to be very pissed off recently. The reason still
eludes me....

 

[Fire Slinger]

I think they stop making Inturrupts in order to make the rules just a little simipler. (yeah right)

 

[FoundationOfRancor]

Alot of these cards are too powerful. When making a card look at cards like it and they will tell u how much your card should cost. AS for the 1BB wrath of god, I think it shoudl read:

Card Name 1BB
Sorcery
Destroy all cretures unless there controller pays 2 or 2 life for each creature.

A fun twist would to make it cost 1BBB and be a instant.

 

[FoundationOfRancor]

One Fell Swoop BBB
Instant
Destroy all creatures in play.
Each player may pay 2 or 2 life per creature to prevent that creature from being destroyed this way. Cretures cannot regenerate.
"Will Koval never again see the reason he once followed? His wake of destruction saddens the clergy." - Kaiyer, Pacifist Priestess


or 3B. or 2BB. or 1BBB. Thoughts?

 

[Fire Slinger]

Make it 2BB so its not as splashable.

 

[Duster]

I'm sticking with a 1BB or BBB casting cost for One Fell Swoop. I mean there's a drawback compared to Wrath of God, I think one less mana for that is worth it.
