Ok. Just thought id make a thread like this for fun. So here we go.

The idea is to make up a card. Try to balance it as much as possible with costs/drawbacks. And such, and try not to make it broken. Then, using real cards, the next person tries to make a combo with the made up card. Then makes up a card to try and stump the next person. Flavor text can be added as an optional aesthetic part of the card. So I'll go first

Name: brilliance under pressure
Mana cost: 2 blue, 2 any other

Effect:
Enchant player
If enchanted players life total is 11 or less, for every 1 point of damage he/she takes, that player draws a card.

You have no maximum handsize

Wouldn't work. Necropotence uses life not dmg. Better choice would be {niv mizzet dracogenius}.  Ping yourself, draw two cards.

{Elderscale Wurm} and {Pyrohemia}. All you have to do is protect your Wurm an you have R: Draw a card.

As already stated loss of life does not equate damage.

I guess I didn't state that other people should make up cards as well. And other people make combos with them. Oh well, my bad

Ok. Here's one.

Name: intelegence drain

Mana cost: 1 black, 2 any other

Target player discards a card at random from his/her hand. You gain life equal to its converted mana cost. Draw a card.

This is one of my favorite cards I've made, I've been working on a Zelda: OoT set for the past year. The Tribal aspect has relevance to the rest of the set.

I would love to play this set. If you ever get to a prototype stage, I know a Gorzo and some friends who would be happy to play test for you ;)

Haha alright, i'd love to play myself to be honest! I love the cards that I'm making, I feel like the power level is a bit crazy though, although, I look at current sets, and idk if is all that crazy, the new sets are nuts!

Ocarina of time? I'd love to try out...ugh! What was the Amazonian-like tribe in the desert? Can you make cards for them?

Gerudo, and yes, it's a creature type, they're White. They're the closest thing I could think of, next to just townsfolk, that could be white. Blue are the Zoras, Black was a little harder due to a lack of tribes, but it's mostly creeps, Red, Gorons, and Green, Kokiri.This is just a baseline, I have yet to finish creatures, but Like-Likes will be Blue, Deku will be green, Torch Slugs Red, etc. I'm working on this stuff almost every day, it's really fun!

Sounds awesome! Would love to see your mythics for that set.

Navi, Faerie Strategist {3}{G}{U}
2/2
Opponents play with their hands revealed.
{G}{G}{T}: target creature you control gets +2/+2 until end of turn. Then that creature fights target other creature.
