The End of an Era
  • posted a message on Assorted spring break creations
    Weeeeell, I've been in the car for ~12 hours across the past couple of days, so I've had time to dream up quite a few card ideas. I'll start with the serious/semi-serious ones, and add the fun/un-set ideas later.

    First, a cycle:

    Evanescent Luminary 1W
    Creature- Human Avatar
    Vanishing 2, flash

    2: Target creature becomes white until end of turn.

    Evanescent Revolutionary 1R
    Creature- Goblin Avatar
    Vanishing 2, flash
    Red creatures get +2/+0 and have haste.
    2: Target creature becomes red until end of turn.
    2/2

    Evanescent Corruptor 1B
    Creature- Zombie Avatar
    Vanishing 2, flash
    Nonblack creatures get -2/-1.
    2: Target creature becomes black until end of turn.
    2/2

    Evanescent Force 1G
    Creature- Beast Avatar
    Vanishing 2, flash
    Green creatures get +1/+1 and have trample.
    2: Target creature becomes green until end of turn.
    2/2

    Next, some assorted instants and sorceries:

    Mass Euthanasia (W/B)(W/B)WB
    Sorcery
    Put -1/-1 counters on each creature equal to its toughness.

    Ascertain UU
    Instant
    Scry 4, then draw a card.

    Strike of Inspiration UR
    Instant
    Target player draws two cards. Strike of Inspiration deals 3 damage to that player.

    Short UUR
    Instant
    Counter target spell. Short deals 2 damage to its controller.

    Darkflame XBBRR
    Sorcery
    Wither
    Darkflame can't be countered by spells or abilities.
    Radiance- Darkflame deals X damage to target creature and each creature that shares a color with it.

    And next, some assorted permanents:

    Heedless Prevaricator (U/B)(U/B)
    Creature- Human Advisor
    Attacking creatures get -1/-1.
    Put a -1/-1 counter on a creature you control: Put a -1/-1 counter on a creature you don't control.
    1/2

    Humble Savior 0
    Creature- Human Cleric
    Flash
    Champion a permanent
    0/1

    Speed Limit 1W
    Enchantment
    All creatures lose haste.
    Whenever a player plays an activated ability of a creature, if that creature came into play this turn, its controller sacrifices it.

    Slick Conditions 1WU

    Whenever a creature attacks, its controller flips a coin. If he or she loses the flip, tap that creature and remove it from combat.

    Alternate Route 1UG

    As Alternate Route comes into play, choose a basic land type.
    Creatures you control have landwalk of that basic land type.

    0/6

    The succeeding cards are a sort-of-cycle in a theoretical alternate universe, set during/after the time of Agents of Artifice, where Jace... umm... here:
    OK, Jace declined Tezzeret's offer to join the Infinite Consortium. Jace, after fleeing from Tezzeret's clutches, began to build an organization of his own, opposing those of Tezzeret and Nicol Bolas. Conflict between the three organizations is high; Jace only survives due to the assistance of a now-WG-aligned Elspeth. Tezzeret/the Consortium have become UB-aligned, as hinted at in the novel.
    The cards below are representatives of each of the factions. (I'm considering developing this storyline; it may lead somewhere.)

    Avatar of the Consortium (U/B)(U/B)UB
    Creature- Avatar
    U,T: Target player draws a card.
    BB,T: Target player discards a card at random.

    And now for less serious cards, mostly based on song titles or lyrics (bonus points to whomever gets the references):

    I Am A Rock
    Land
    T: Add W,G,or B to your mana pool. Put a flood counter on I Am A Rock.
