This is a thread idea I've had for a while, and I think it's a pretty good one. Each poster should come up with a card using the name the previous poster came up with, and then post the name of the next card. Mana symbols should be done with capitol letters (WUBRG), hybrid mana being done with a slash (W/U, 2/R). (->) Should be the tap symbol.

Also, to the people bickering over other people's stupidity, leave them be. Or make snarky comments before or after your card, but most importantly MAKE A CARD when you post. That's the point of the thread, to keep the ideas moving.

For instance:
Next card: Underdog's Formula

Person A wrote:Underdog's Formula

Target creature you control gains "When this creature is put into a graveyard from play, you gain ten life." until end of turn, put two +1/+1 counters on that creature.

Next Card: Infectious Ultimatum

Second card won't work, it can be abused with an arcbound crusher or with itself by creating a myr with one power, then sacrificing it for two mana, thus creating an (in theory) infite loop. http://www.blackborder.com/cgi-bin/pric ... dOVLMAxEy2
Hey! look! I'm making a creature with infinite power and thoughness (even though infinite isn't a value in magic) and I'm gaining a lot of HP!

Next card: Unsettling Glance

by **Kag** » Mon Mar 16, 2009 5:23 pm UTC

When Goblinocerous is put into a graveyard from play, target creature gains haste until end of turn.

Not to be combo breaking or anything, but this is almost ridiculously useless. Since you can't target creatures you haven't played yet, it would only be of value if you got your Goblinocerous killed in your first main phase and had played a creature without haste already (which is generally reserved for the post-combat main). How often does THAT happen?

Unsettling Glance
1B
Instant
Target Creature deals no combat damage and cannot use abilities until end of turn. Remove all instances of its abilities from the stack without resolving.

Next card: Monoculture

Monoculture
3WW
instant
All creatures target player controls become 1/1 with no abilities until end of turn. (dammit, I wish I could look up the right template for this...)

next: Frustrated ant

edit - a number of times I've seen cards with B in the mana cost with decidedly U abilities. I just want to make sure that B = black and U = blue.

by **Babam** » Mon Mar 16, 2009 6:58 pm UTC

You know, I think there is a card generator out there where you could be putting all of this on a fake/real card.

by **isauteikisa** » Mon Mar 16, 2009 6:58 pm UTC

Frustrated Ant
R
Creature - Ant

It's been a long time since I used it, so you'll have to Google to find it. But it exists. For example, here's one I made:

If the upkeep on Alchemist's Fire is not paid, you suffer X damage and bury Alchemist's Fire. Effects that prevent or redirect damage cannot be used to prevent this loss of life.
You CAN turn water into fire. It's just that the fire always burns you in the end.

Wait, cumulative upkeep x? couldn't you just pay 0 for X for each age counter on alchemist's fire?
I think what you want is this:

Cumulative upkeep: u
during your first main phase you may add R to you mana pool for each age counter on alchemist's fire.
When alchemist's fire leaves play, it deals X damage to you, where X is the number of age counters on alchemist's fire.

by **mosc** » Tue Mar 17, 2009 8:11 pm UTC

Yes, it's been a while since Ice age. I forgot how that works. You get the concept though. The thing shits red mana (which can burn you) and will eventually explode (which will burn you) but it's a useful mana transformer while it lasts.

Next: Graviton Particle Beam

by **RealityPlusPlus** » Wed Mar 18, 2009 9:27 pm UTC

Good call on that paradox, I hadn't seen that when I made it. As for the goblin, I made that one so sacrifice mechanics can get some use out of it, the ability wasn't meant to be for anything other than a sac outlet.

Graviton Particle Beam

Graviton Particle Beam comes into play tapped and cannot be untapped that turn.

Next card: Interview

by **Xeio** » Thu Mar 19, 2009 9:44 am UTC

You know... I know I spent way too much time on the YMTC forums on wizards.com, because I want to critique each of these for power level, flavor, ect. Anyway...

Interview uu
Sorcery
Target opponent reveals his or her hand. You may remove a creature card in it from the game, if you do, you may play that card as though it were in your hand, if you don't, return it to its owner's hand at end of turn.
We'll call you.

Hrmmm, I couldn't decide how to cost it, it's probably a bit low on the power scale, but seems like a neat idea anyway. I was kind of toying with the idea of an instant, so it could be used as temporary removal (of unknown threats) as well, but decided against it. Oh, and the grammar is a bit vague (should be fairly obvious, but it's better not to have ambiguity in an already rules-heavy game), I think the card could be worded a bit better, but I couldn't think of how right now.

Oh and: Eternal Sorrow
