Make your own Magic card!

I don't think I've ever seen a copy spell that didn't let you pick new targets.

Morphing Jar (1)

Artifact Creature - Construct

1/1

Morph 3

When this card is turned face-up, each player discards their hand, then draws five cards.

Morphing Jar #2 (1)

Artifact Creature - Construct

1/1

Morph 5

When this creature is turned face-up, shuffle every creature on the field into the deck. Then, each player reveals cards from the top of their deck equal to the number of creatures shuffled into their deck. All creatures with CMC 4 or less are put into play on their owner's side of the field. All other revealed cards are sent to the Graveyard.

So I've been thinking of different ways to interact with manifested cards.

Ambush Mages 3R
Creature - Efreet Wizard
U, T: You may cast target facedown instant or sorcery spell you control by paying its mana cost this turn. (After being cast, it goes to the graveyard as normal.) If you do so, return Ambush Mages to your hand.
3/2

And because I can't stop thinking about Ravnica and Tarkir coming into contact, how about mixing Manifest with Cipher or Ninjutsu? (I can't think of catchy epithets for these characters.)

Svara 4UB
Legendary Creature - Human Wizard Rogue
Svara is colorless. (Even if this card isn't on the battlefield.)
Whenever a manifested instant or sorcery card you control deals combat damage to a player, you may reveal it and cast a copy of that spell without paying its mana cost.
2/2

Karas 2UB
Legendary Creature - Human Wizard Ninja
Karas is colorless. (Even if this card isn't on the battlefield.)
UB: to return an unblocked creature to your hand and manifest the top card of your library tapped and attacking.
3/3

@First one: *"you control"
@Last one: *"UB: Return target yadda yadda yadda"

I like the ninjutsu ability on him, though.

EDIT: Also, I'm pretty sure you could cast an instant or sorcery from the battlefield and it'll go to the graveyard, so just say "cast," unless of course you mean for them to stay on the battlefield to be used again.

Also, you have the mana cost for the first card as R3 instead of 3R.

Thanks for the pointers!

Kuta, the Living Labyrinth 2WG
Legendary Creature - Wall
(Kuta does not have defender.)
Other walls you control get +0/+2.
WG, Tap: Tap target creature.
1/6

No need for the reminder text. They've updated the rules now that rather than the creature type (in this case, "Wall") determining it to be unable to attack, they created Defender instead. But there are non-Walls with defender anyway, so right now it's not exclusive to Walls.

edited 28th May '15 10:00:19 PM by entropy13

I know, but there are no walls that do not have defender (changelings and such notwithstanding) so there may be some confusion despite no rules text being necessary. It prevents incorrect readings of the card by those who aren't completely familiar with more recent rules. Also, it may have otherwise seemed as if I was going by the old rules incorrectly on here if I hadn't done that. This way, it is clear what I intended.

Yeah, as it stands anyone seeing a wall without defender might assume it's a misprint.

Ooh, I like Kuta. Do you suppose they have an evil bro... sist... er, sibling known as the "Living Deathtrap?"

I agree. The reminder text is a good idea in this case.

Ability Sponge 1U
Creature - Sponge
1U: Target creature loses flying, first strike or trample until end of turn, and Ability Sponge gains that ability until end of turn.
1/1

Fortification Sponge (3UG)
Creature - Sponge
3/3
Indestructible, defender, hexproof
Without a nervous system, all they can feel is anger.

Dwarf Fortress reference, go!

Silver-bordered if you couldn't tell.

Blacker Knight - BBBB
Creature - Human Knight
Double strike, Protection from white
Other permanents, all players, and all cards not on the battlefield have protection from white.
4/4
Hating white weenie doesn't need a purpose. The hatred is its own purpose. You don't ask why green makes tokens or why blue draws cards. Don't ask why I boardwipe.

Missing P/T.

That would be an amazing last gasp for Protection as a mechanic. (Maro has said that they're considering getting rid of it.)

Though I can't help but imagine the white player smirking and casting Wrath of God.

They are? Interesting.

Especially considering that mono-color-shutdown angel that just came out.

Curse of Entwined Fates (2BB)
Enchantment - Aura Curse
Enchant opponent
When ~ enters the battlefield, choose one:

• Whenever enchanted player gains life, you gain that much life.
• Whenever you lose life, enchanted player loses that much life.
  Entwine (2)

Contagion Witch (1UB)
Creature - Human Wizard
(T): Choose an aura you control enchanting an opponent or player you don't control. Put a token that's a copy of that aura on the battlefield enchanting an opponent or permanent it can enchant.
1/3

I guess it's not a solid plan, but it's a possibility.

That makes me imagine a witch spreading a contagion... OF STRENGTH AND HAPPINESS.

EDIT: Oh, wait, only things enchanting opponents and their creatures. That fits the flavor, yeah.

Jasmine Apocynum (3UG)
Legendary Creature - Horror
3/3
T: Exile target nontoken creature you control. Put a 5/5 blue and green Beast token with haste onto the battlefield under your control. At end of turn, exile it, then return the exiled creature to the battlefield tapped and under its owner's control.
"This plan is logical, sensible and sane."

May follow up with more; dunno. Came up with Animal Pragmatism first, on account of I like the pun.

Dissuade U
Instant
Counter target noncreature, nonartifact spell that doesn't target exactly one permanent. That spell's controller gains life equal to the number of permanents that spell targeted.
You may pay W instead of Dissuade's casting cost as long as you control an Island.

Inhibit B
Instant
Remove target creature from combat unless its controller pays life equal to that creature's power plus its toughness.
You may pay W instead of Inhibit's casting cost as long as you control a Swamp.

Animal Pragmatism G
Instant
Target blocked or blocking creature you control gets +4/+4 until end of turn. Sacrifice that creature at end of combat.
You may pay R instead of Animal Pragmatism's casting cost as long as you control a Forest.

EDIT:
Frank Insanity RRR
Enchantment
Whenever you cast a spell, counter that spell, draw two cards, then cast a card from your hand at random without paying its mana cost. If the chosen card is a land card, reveal it and manifest it instead.
If you don't have anything better to do, you can always try losing your damn mind.

Paal, the Inert Emperor 4BB
Legendary Creature - Horror
Defender
Other horrors get +1/-1.
B: Regenerate Paal.
When Paal is dealt damage by a creature you don't control, exile that creature, then search your library for a horror and put it onto the battlefield tapped.
0/6

Final Recall - R
Instant
Draw Three Cards.
At the beginning of your next end step, you lose the game.

Basically a what Final Fortune is to time walk, this would be to Ancestral Recall.

Supervision 3W
If a player would search a library, that player searches the top four cards of that library instead.
"Under the guiding hand of the Senate, you may continue your research at significantly reduced risk."

Black Luster Soldier - Envoy of the Beginning (3WB)

Legendary Creature - Human Soldier

6/6

As an additional cost to cast this card, exile one white creature and one black creature from your Graveyard. Both must have CMC 4 or more.

0: Exile target creature. Activate this ability only once per turn and only on your turn. If you enter your combat phase this turn, this creature cannot attack during that combat phase.

High Noon Shootout 1RR
Enchantment
Each player's draw phase takes place before their combat phase instead of when it would otherwise take place.
Whenever a player draws a card, they may have target creature they control fight target creature they don't control. If there are no valid targets for target creature they control to fight, they may have that creature deal 2 damage to target player instead.
"Ten paces, then draw."
