The ability of several of these Hour of Devastation spoilers that reads
"...that player [bad effect] unless he or she sacrifices a permanent or discards a card."
It's something I was playing around with very recently, and even though I eventually settled on exactly this wording, I thought it still sounded silly, and scrapped the idea. Of course, before posting about it in this thread, I did a quick search, and discovered Wizards is actually just reusing an old ability from Visions. So I guess I've got nothing to brag about after all, heh heh.
Unstable has you roll two dice and find the difference. I had a similar idea to roll two dice and find matching values between the two results.
ex.
Orgasmic Ultimatum RRWWWBB
Sorcery
Roll two 10-sided dice. Bury all permanents with converted mana costs between the two dice values, inclusive. Each player loses 1 life for each permanent he or she controlled buried this way.
iiw: Create an EDH general AKA Commander. I know, I know, this challenge has been done plenty of times. But here's the twist: Also create two "sub-commanders" that are meant to be played with your commander. Each of the sub-commanders should be a legendary creature that shares one or more colors with its commander or is colorless. They are meant to be cast from the command zone just like their commander.
Damage dealt by sub-commanders contributes to the 21-commander-damage kill rule and is not counted separately but collectively.
The "respawn" cost is also shared. Whenever your commander or one of the sub-commanders returns to the command zone the cost to recast each of them (all of them) is increased by 2.
^similar to the idea of the Partners from the Commander 2016 set
Heliod, The Fallen 2WB
Legendary creature - Human God Coward
Lifelink
Last Strike (this creature deals combat damage after the regular damage step.)
Whenever an enchantment enters the battlefield, exile ~. Retuen him to the battlefield under your control at the beggining of the next end step.
Uiro, Flurrying Wind1WG
Legendary creature - Human Monk {M}
Triple Strike (This deals first-strike, regular and last-strike damage.)
1/3
how many designers over the years have independently come up with last / triple strike? countless. well, now it's finally showed up in Unstable, almost obligatorily...
Astral Possession3UU
Sorcery MR
Skip your next turn. Target player other than you takes an extra turn after this one. You control that player during that turn.
i also created, but haven't posted here, a card pretty much the same as Cruel Entertainment, except it was both blue n black. and it traded control of an opponent's next turn for that player's control of your next turn, instead of any two players.
prior to the original innistrad n its werewolves being released i had an idea in my head about a mechanic that turned on and off based on whether you cast 2+ or 0 spells each turn.
Faerie Aerie is somewhat like a sorcery i made called Ophidian Swarm that for 2GG made three 1/1 Snakes with haste that each draw you a card if they damaged an opponent n they died at end step, but didn't fly of course.
i also made a minotaur called Lord of the Labyrinth a long time ago that worked much like Archangel of Tithes
Last strike. A few months ago, I thought of a Cryomancer that whenever it dealt damage to a creature, that creature would get "frozen" or something and dealt combat damage after other creatures.
Champion of the Crusade2WW
Creature — Human Knight (R)
Double strike
Creatures you control with first strike have double strike. “The strength of the crusader is not the capability to lift their blade, but the knowledge of what to wield it for.”
2/2
Flameblast Phoenix1R
Creature — Phoenix (U)
Flying, haste
At the beginning of the end step, sacrifice Flameblast Phoenix.
Whenever you attack with three or more creatures, return Flameblast Phoenix from your graveyard to the battlefield tapped and attacking.
2/2
Siege Phoenix1RR
Creature - Phoenix (R)
Flying, haste
Whenever you attack with a red creature and two or more other creatures, return Siege Phoenix from your graveyard to the battlefield under your control tapped and attacking.
2/2
Jace's Peacekeeper7
Artifact Creature - Construct (C)
Alliance (A teammate can help pay the casting costs and the activation costs of this card.)
4/6
Frenetic Conference2R
Instant (C)
Alliance (A teammate can help pay the casting costs and the activation costs of this card.)
As an additional cost to cast Frenetic Conference, discard a card.
Target player draws two cards.
Focused Effort
Conspiracy (U)
Hidden agenda (Start the game with this conspiracy face down in the command zone and secretly name a card. You may turn this conspiracy face up any time and reveal the chosen name.)
Cards your team owns and permanents your team controls with the chosen name have alliance.
Ambush Tigers2GG
Creature - Cat Beast
Flash
Partykicker 2(Each player may pay an additional 2 any number of times as you cast Ambush Tigers.)
When Ambush Tigers enters the field, each player puts a token copy of it onto the field for every time they kicked it.
3/3
^created for a multiplayer matters set, it's like multikicker n kinda like assist...
Resplendent Angel - It might have been inspired somewhat by my Guardian of the Meek
Isolate - No, I didn't invent it but I was complaining about black colour gaining Fatal push and bunch of other 2mana destroy spells and how little love white colour got in 1mana spell department and then WotC print this beauty! Thank you!!!
Revitalize - I believe you can find my "Insight from Beyond" here: If Wizards did see and use my card as an inspiration I just want to say thank you first and I hope that in future there will be a single white mana cantrip similar to this one (for modern purposes ofcourse)

Myfavorite part about that brag is that you made that post four days after the article officially revealing Wolfbriar Elemental.

Planar Chaos was not a mistake neither was it random. You might want to look at it again.
[thread=239793][Game] Level Up - Creature[/thread]
yeah, maybe later i'll do a search to see how many people came up with a version of spectacle. there's going to be a lot, we've been waiting for that one awhile...
snap caster mage! I entered the the creator contest in 2003 or 2004 and it’s a card I submitted before dropping in the contest. Years later I noticed it in a magic set.
Just some notes but almost 2 of 3 abilities on Serra, from last May.
Not very close on Windgrace but I guess his ultimate is in the vein of "creatures destroy artifacts". I would have made him Mardu colors anyway.
Can't wait for Daria to come out
Garruk Enraged (Mythic) 3RG
Planeswalker – Garruk
Whenever a creature you control deals combat damage to a player, you may put that many loyalty counters on Garruk Enraged. [-1]: Put a 3/3 red and green Beast creature token with haste and trample onto the battlefield. [-8]: You may put all creature cards from your hand onto the battlefield. Those creatures gains haste and trample until end of turn. Sacrifice those creatures at the beginning of the next end step. [3]

Sorry, but no. MaRo confirmed that Garruk isn't appearing in WAR on his Tumblr because "a planeswalker hunter doesn't exactly fit into Bolas' plans".

I was referring to the static ability followed by two negative loyalty abilities.
As a side note, I might actually be more than zero percent interested in the story line if Garruk unexpectedly showed up and completely ****ed up Bolas.
Also, my Swarm mechanic is similar in essence to Embalm.
It's something I was playing around with very recently, and even though I eventually settled on exactly this wording, I thought it still sounded silly, and scrapped the idea.

Splitting library - I had a custom planeswalker that did that as his plus
Last strike - had the idea the first time first strike was explained to me
Burn trampling - had this idea the first time trample was explained to me
Why, Wizards, why!?

do those spells have "Affinity for Wizards?"
WotC is watching.

Though I guess my template made it more oppressive and overpowered since instants could be used to tax opponents
before it was cool.Same context of a team-draft expansion too!
