Post some ideas that you thought were revolutionary.. Before realizing how absolutely awful they were. For example: my eyes lit up as i began to design... A sorcery speed counter spell!

a card that costs 10 colorless energy that ends the game as a tie for all players, as an instant XD

like you are in a four person multiplayer game and everyone else has 10+ hp and you only have like 2 but you have a ton of mana... BOOM 4-way tie! call it involuntary peace treaty or something XD

MisterJH

Haha itd be the most popular deck ever

0% losses
0% wins
100% ties

Its a {door to nothingness} deck but 10x easier to pull of lol. I can just imagine modern 'Urzatron Tie-machine' dominating everything

Someone asked Mark Rosewater about a sorcery speed counterspell, to which he appropriately replied "you could never cast it." It's pretty funny when you think about it.

I once had an idea for a faux Ramp deck that didn't ramp into anything - just made the opponent conserve resources waiting to answer what would never come. It tested it out, turns out things don't work like that.

Haha like tron affinity? Its revolutionary

You know, they could make a sorcery speed counter spell meant for modern, make it 1-2 CMC and give it some outrageous upside and then see how many people connect it with  {Alchemist's Refuge}.

Wouldn't it just be a 4 mana counterspell then? {G}{U} to activate it, {T} on the Refuge and {1} for the spell? If it had a {Rewind} effect, that could work.

Or even make it cost 0 and say "counter target spell, draw cards equal to its converted mana cost"

I still like my idea of a card that just ends the game XD

 {Karn Liberated} closest thing yet

Apathy Reactor

I'll admit, {Karn} looks alot cooler when he is liberated

Apathy Reactor

lol I guess normal Karn isn't a card, but in the digital magic world, he is a planeswalker

Crapshooter

I think if your card was made it would have to be Karn's picnic, I just want to see a happy karn
