So something I just realized, and decided to leave in, is that per his wording you could actually exile a spell and then cast that very same spell! Let me explain.

Let's say you want to cast Shatterstorm because your opponents just have far too many mana rocks and value and combo pieces on the board. But what's this, someone counters it! Oh no!

So you could pay the , and exile the spell.

• (Rework the ability text to , , exile target spell you control: You may cast a card you own in exile with mana value equal to or less than the exiled spells.)

Now that you've paid the activation costs, you get to pick a card you own in exile with MV equal to or less than 4 and cast it without paying its mana costs.

Well guess what? Shatterstorm is in exile and has MV 4 or less!

This means you can subvert a counter spell, by exiling it and recasting it. Not only is the spell a new identity on the stack, it'll actually resolve BEFORE their counter spell, which no longer has a legal target!

Hahaha oooh that's so dirty.

Loki, God of Lies

Legendary Creature - God

As Loki, God of Lies enters the battlefield you may exile any number of cards from your hand.

Protection from card types you own in exile.

, : Exile target spell you control. You may cast a card you own in exile with mana value equal to or less than this one without paying its mana cost.

3/5

Functionally turns anything into an instant, but with extra steps.

I was trying to figure out how to capture the idea of spreading lies and mischief into a card mechanic, and this was the best I could come up with. Hope you all enjoyed it. I certainly had a blast designing it ^_^

Oh, obligatory Bojuka Bog is a must in his deck, obviously... obviously...

I'd love to see a legendary creature who uses the Level Up mechanic.

Remember, the field of text for Level Up isn't nearly as big because you have to divide it into multiple sections. So you can't have giant elaborate and complex mechanics.

And that's exactly why it's a good challenge. How will you make a truly legendary creature, with such restrictions? >:)

Thought you all would get a good laugh out of this, just as I did lol

Pringles and WOTC team up for a special storage can for our curled cards

Lol Winged Coatl should be a bird

Sorry I just remembered that card exists. ^_^

Please continue :3

Rotcaller Phoenix

Creature - Zombie Phoenix

Flying, lifelink, deathtouch

Dredge 7

2/3

I do badly wanted to add Zombie to it, so I did.

Honestly I'm surprised a Phoenix with Dredge doesn't already exist?

I was going to add some type of ETB effect like destroying target permanent, but I opted for some powerful offensive and defensive keyword abilities instead. A low P/T also means it's easy to be killed, so it's easy to Dredge. Because of that, adding an ETB effect seems like it would be overkill without the MV being through the roof, which would then defeat the purpose of being a constant threat.

So yeah it's kinda bare bones, but that's for a design choice. I didn't want it to be an unplayable MV7 or MV8, you know? And even an MV6 becomes a bit hard to justify.

Broken Promises

Sorcery

You and target opponent each enter into an Agreement. The first player to break this agreement loses the game.

Idk what "an Agreement" would be, but I have a feeling it would be an overly complex mechanic with very few cards printed for it.

I'm not going to ask you guys and gals to come up with whatever "Am Agreement" is. I simply thought it sounded like an interesting card design for a wildcard

Let's see a legendary Griffen that has both a triggered and an activated ability.

"You seem like a calm and reasonable man... Are you? A calm and reasonable man?" - Thor Odinson

Shame Force of Nature is already a card name.

Natural Force

Sorcery

Add . Spend this mana only to cast creature spells.

Creature tokens you control get +1/+1 until end of turn.

Create a spell akin to Crackling Doom, but in different colors.

Legendary Creature:

1/1

Repeat my challenge since it wasn't completed.

an additional cost to sacrifice this spell

Man it's been a long week...

Quintorius' Discovery

Sorcery

As an additional cost to sacrifice this spell, sacrifice an artifact and / or an enchantment.

Investigate X times where X is the mana value of the artifact you sacrificed.

Create X Map tokens where X is the mana value of the enchantment you sacrificed.

I've always loved how Quintorius is a Loxodon (Elephant person), and he studies history. Because elephants never forget ;)

Oooh, let's see...

Make a Planeswalker who summons Horrors, and make it feel Lovecraftian in nature.

Oh wow, so I had always thought that the owner of a face down card is allowed to look at it at any time. Apparently that is not true; Only when you are instructed to. It is after you have been given permission or instruction, that you may now look at it at any time. Interesting.

I guess she would need some wording updates, as if she isn't already bulky enough.

She would be a great second Commander for Aminatou, the Fateshifter

The Barbarian and the Bard

Legendary Planeswalker - Jeska Ellywick

+2 Target creature you control gets haste and indestructible until end of turn. It must attack this turn if able.

0 Create a 2/2 red and green Warrior creature token with menace.

-4 Discard a card, then reveal the top two cards of your library. Target creature you control gets +2/+2 for each land revealed. Put them into your hand.

-10 You get an emblem with "Creatures you control get +10/+10 and have haste and trample."

Again!! :D

The artwork is from the game Dragon's Dogma 2.

The Sphinx name is something I came up with. Just borrowing the artwork because it's nice.

For those unaware, Jiang Yanggu is sort of like Garruk in that he can grow the natural strength of those around him. His dog, Mowu, can actually turn to stone which allows Jiang to bring him with through the blind eternities, without harming or killing the dog. Mu Yanling has control over the wind, and to a lesser extent storms.

Jiang and Mu, Powerful Storm

Legendary Planeswalker - Yanggu Yanling

When this Planeswalker enters the battlefield, create a 3/3 green Dog legendary creature token named Mowu. It has indestructible.

+1 Target creature you control gets +2/+2 and gains trample until end of turn. Untap it if it was tapped.

+1 Scry 2 then reveal the top card of your library. If it is a land you may put it into your hand. You may play an additional land this turn.

-6 Until end of turn, land cards you control become 4/4 elemental creature tokens with flying and "If this creature would die this turn, regenerate it." Untap them. They gain haste.

4

Lets see another dual Planeswalker card. To try and make it a bit more challenging, and a bit more unique, see how many of the following attributes you can adhere to:

• Planeswalker choices that each have 3 or less cards to their printing
• Two different mono-colored Planeswalkers
• Planeswalkers who don't seem to have powers that would naturally align, such as Jiang and Mu, that could be made to work reasonably well

Or if you want a really hard one, Karn & Ugin while representing both of their powers evenly. You'll just have to look those up if you want to take a crack at it ;)

Defile the Unnatural

Sorcery

Destroy all colorless permanents. They can't be regenerated. Then exile all graveyards.

Nissa has bore witness not just to the Eldrazi, but the technologies of man and beast alike. She has witnesses not only her own beautiful world ravaged by the mindless abominations of horror and machine, but countless others. She has studied The Brother's War. She has died to the Phyrexians. Now, it is she who brings the war.

"Now, it is she who brings the war." - Look, I just had to put in some garbage WOTC writing, lol

Long time fans will recognize Nissa use to be horrendously racist, which is where the slight of "man and beast alike" comes from, also. Little Easter egg for y'all.

Make our next BBEG - An evil Nissa

Murder by Crows

Enchantment

When Murder by Crows enters the battlefield, create three 1/1 black Bird creature tokens with flying.

Whenever a Bird you control deals combat damage to an opponent, roll a six sided dice. If you roll a 1 or 2, create a clue token. A 3 or 4, create a food token. A 5 or 6, create a treasure token.

Whenever you sacrifice a clue, food or treasure token create a 1/1 black Bird creature token with flying.

Crows are highly intelligent, love to gather random things and bring them back to their owners / people they trust, and can become quite aggressive. So this card showcases all of that, without being overly complex.

Zyzoth, The First Avatar

Legendary Creature - Avatar

If you start the beginning of the game with three or more different permanents on the battlefield, you may put Zyzoth on the battlefield under your control. If you searched your library for it, shuffle your library.

Each time a Layline you control would have an ability activate or trigger, it triggers an additional time. You may choose new targets.

Leyline spells you control cost less to cast and are 4/4 Avatar creatures in addition to their other types.

5/7

Lol imagine starting the game with 17 power and 4 bodies on the battlefield all because you shuffled and drew well hahaha

But trying to get at least 3 out of 12 leylines in an opening hand? Yeah you kinda deserve it.

Apparently there are only 12 Leylines in the whole game?? I really thought there would have been more at this point... huh, neat.

Make a new Leyline. Bonus points for being our first colorless Leyline.

End the Turn

Sorcery

Flash

End the turn.

"End the turn."

Artwork could be Nicol Bolas literally revealing this card while playing Magic: The Gathering against Jace lol
