You asked us to make a card with a lobster in the art so I did what needed to be done.



Edit: messed with Reverent Kneel a bit

No Boots on the Ground,

Took me forever to figure out something for Sid Blair (because there was no way I was going to avoid using the hero Magic both needs and deserves), but I think this is a good fit.



Edit: Aiming for a darker spin for an artifact focused set, where inspiration is very often synonymous with obsession and insanity.

OK good job everyone.

Third:
You did have the best Sid Blair and a theme that makes sense. I wish you'd gone a bit weirder and the art is a bit of a stretch.

Second:
Lifegain matters as a theme is intriguing. Your cards did make me want to see more. The art fits.

First :

Your cards fit together and the art very well. I found the raft very interesting, a very different gameplay from the vehicles so far, with lots of possibilities.

Spreadsheet updated. Fun contest, that.

It's alive!




Just about every permanent type (and one nonpermanent) have cards that turn into creatures. Vehicles all do, and even equipment in the form of Ensouled Scimitar and Haunted Plate Mail get in on the act. So, your challenge, between now and 23:59 PM on Wednesday, 23rd January, is to make a noncreature that turns into a creature in a new and interesting way.

sweet concept. Here's my kneejerk reaction entry, to be followed by 1-3 others at a later date:

This is a kickass concept, and I feel like every idea I have is just a copy of something someone else in the thread has already done.

Edit:


Mythic not for power level but for rules complexity and "build around me" factor.

Hopefully the concept is clear: the artifact draws magical destructive energy floating through the air, and uses it to power the thunder god of destruction.

I'll do a mockup of this later, though I'm reasonably confident this card exists already and I'm botching the cost and templating.

Three things:
I'm presuming this is supposed to have flash in order to be able to interact with spells being resolved. And the tap ability should probably say "You may cast the top spell exiled by ~..." or cast it for free. Just templating, the intention is basically clear in both cases.

Outside of Commander, this is extremely unlikely to ever see more than two spells on the stack. That's fine if that's the environment you have in mind, but at 7 mana you're going to be holding this for a long time before you get yourself a 2/2 flyer.

Importantly, how does this handle copied spells from the stack that aren't represented by physical cards? (Aside: do copies of spells even have casting costs?) Does it care about abilities, or should it?

I've also reworked Thunderheart a bit, so I'll just repost it here (along with its unchanged artifact form):

Thunderheart is neat! The change it needs is that you should at a time to "check" for the number of counters to transform, i.e. after counters have been added or removed ("then, if ~ has 10 or more charge counters on it, transform it), or during a phase ("at the beginning of your upkeep, if ~ has 6 or fewer charge counters on it, transform it"). This keeps it from being something players have to monitor all the time, and in the case of creature Thunderheart, helps better figure out what happens if you use all the counters. Really, that's the big rules problem the card has--if I spend all the charge counters on Thunderheart, does it transform back, or does it go to the graveyard as a state-based effect since it is a 0/0 creature?

There are probably issues with this I haven't considered but the idea is that you turn your opponent into a creature either to make them an easier target for your damage spells or to force them to bash against your blockers.

Oops. Fixed that, thanks.

Yeah, I was pretty uncertain on the cost. For comparison, a counterspell stapled to a bear is 4. The creature this most resembles is Spell Queller, which is very good at 3, but with much more significant restrictions than this. Summary Dismissal, which costs 4, is the only "exile all spells" cards in Magic. So 6-7 seemed about right and I erred on the high side. I think I'll drop it one and add another mana symbol to the cost.

Copied spells disappear when you exile them, similar to tokens (and they do have the original's CMC). Not getting abilities or copies is definitely a hole in the concept, but I don't think there's a way to template that that doesn't make it look like an 8 pt font Alpha-era card and a complete nightmare to play.

Unexpected delays won, but after a recount so did the following:


Honourable mention:


Very nice, has me thinking of a variety of ways to break it.


Third:


Very powerful. Triggers itself but can be tapped in response to get around summoning sickness, hard to deal with but not too far off Gatebreaker Ram or Blanchwood Armor in dedicated decks.

Second:


This is beautiful, especially in Commander or team multiplayer. I can just imagine running this in a Brago deck.

First:


This is delicious, the perfect mix of Annex and Living Terrain. A canny opponent will tap their land in response, but you can still cast it on your own to exploit haste. Congratulations, Eeevil!

I hadn't thought about it, but I'll say anythings fine as long as you use one of the mechanics.

"That must weigh heavily on your soul. Let me purge it for you."
When you say "uses" the keyword, must it poses it? Are things that refer to them and interact with them admissable?

I'll allow cards that give other cards a keyword, but not cards that just reference one. For example, I'd allow Domri, Chaos Bringer, but not Disinformation Campaign.
