Title: Create-a-card
Post by: Nobbert on July 20, 2012, 08:23:46 PM
I'm bringing it back!  I thought it was fun the last time we had a thread like this. Post cool card ideas you've had. Here's mine:

Nether Plague
BBGG
Creature- Horror
Mythic Rare

Haste
Undying
When Nether Plague enters the battlefield from your graveyard, return all cards in your graveyard named "Nether Plaugue" to the battlefield.

2/1

"The only form of death that is universally feared by Hydras."

The next spell you play has Storm.

Jace, the Rulesculptor
{2}{U}{U}
Starts with 3 loyalty
+2: Exile target card from top of players library. That card is banned from the current game.
0: Un-ban target card from a format of your choice. You may search your collection for a card unbanned this way and put it in your deck. Shuffle your deck.
-1: Ban target creature from game.
-12: Exile target players library. All cards exile this way are banned. That player removes all banned cards from his or her hand and places their remaining hand into their library. They shuffle their library.

Flavor text: Why wizards Why? *sob* The Mindsculptor was my favorite Jace... WHY?!?

That's why you flash it, it becomes the target, then return it to your hard. Spell would fizzle. Very powerful, would probably have to up its mana cost cost or itd be too good, but I could definitely see it being a real card that sees real play.

Yeah I agree with the cost. It'd have to be somethig like {U}{U}{U}  return to hand.

Basically something to keep it away from bein in EVERY deck that's a little blue.

You think its that good people would play it  (even splash it) in competetive decks?
Title: Re: Create-a-card
Post by: Willthomjr on July 21, 2012, 11:53:59 AM
I don't see why not? It's got flash and can fizzle spells at a relatively low cost in its current form. Tricky cards like that always find places in competitive decks.

Would be nice but way overpowered for its mana cost. It's essentially a {cancel} AND {stifle} for single target spells/abilities for {U} with buyback {2}. Considering {Swerve} exists as a single-target changer for {U}{R}, and buyback spells tend to buyback for {3}, you could say a more realistic cost would total around 5 mana instead of 3. So maybe a drop cost of {1}{U}{U}, return to hand for {2} or to force it heavy blue maybe {1}{U}? I could maybe see them printing that, and I bet it would still see some play.

Also, this just struck me as funny, but this conversation... How often do you think R&D actually dissects and discusses a potential new card like this? And how often do they fail it look at it well enough? :P They should hire us.
Title: Re: Create-a-card
Post by: BlackJester on July 21, 2012, 04:49:00 PM
It only works for spells and abilities that can target a creature though. {Stiffle} can squash a PW's ultimate.

Still, very high on the power scale. 
Title: Re: Create-a-card
Post by: BlackJester on July 21, 2012, 04:51:34 PM
You can almost do this with {Leyline of Anicipation} or similar and {Spellskite}. The only missing ingredient is a repeatable bounce effect.

I still like {Mystic Snake} though.

I'd accept that fee in a heartbeat. I guarantee all tourney player would run it, it would jump up to Mind Sculptor price, and be banned shortly thereafter...
