Make your own Magic card!

Nether Inversion 2WB

Enchantment

Players can't search libraries.

If a spell or ability would cause a permanent you control to be put into your graveyard from the battlefield, exile it instead.

If a spell or ability other than Nether Inversion would exile a permanent you control, instead shuffle it into your library.

Roaming Assembler (2W)
Creature - Artificer
2/2
Exploit
When ~ exploits a creature, put two 1/1 colourless Myr artifact creature tokens onto the battlefield.
The notion that another being may be worth more than its component parts is foreign to Phyrexia.

Some colour bleed but given what NPH looked like I think that's forgivable.

Soul Scramble - WB
Enchantment
Creatures with +1/+1 counters on them have Undying.
Creatures with -1/-1 counters on them have Persist.
Spells of life cancel one another out, leaving only death.

I think you got those mixed up. As is, it won't really do anything.

That's exactly the point. It'd be completely bonkers the other way around - everything would always come back when it died. It's supposed to be useless. Though I'm hoping someone figures out a way to break it anyway.

Enormous Tome - 9
Artifact
{9}, {T}: Draw three cards.
It holds much wisdom, but turning the pages is a fool's errand indeed.

Experimenting with Gillianos' Key Word. Emrakul got Emerge and Meld, therefore...

• Crystal Soar-Gryff 3WWUU
• Creature - Bird Construct Drone
• Elucidate - you may cast ~ as though it had Flash by exiling an Instant, Sorcery or Enchantment from your graveyard and subtracting the casting cost of that card from ~'s casting cost.
• If you cast ~ using Elucidate, return 1 permanent you control and 1 permanent the opponent controls to their owners' hands.
• 5 / 4
• The Long Extinguished Brood of Gillianos returned in a thunderclap of brilliant wings.

• Floating Fen-Cryst 7
• Creature - Construct Drone
• Elucidate
• If you cast ~ using Elucidate, put X 1 / 2 White and Blue Construct Drone tokens into play, where X is the cast cost of the card exiled by Elucidate.
• Human creatures you control get +1 / +1 for each Construct Drone token you control.
• 6 / 6

• Liege of Eternal Vigilance 7WU
• Creature - Construct
• Elucidate
• Hexproof, Vigilance, Protection from Creatures you don't control.
• When ~ declares an attack, put 4 1 / 1 White Human Soldier tokens into play tapped and attacking.
• 8 / 6
• None knew where the crystalline thing came from. Only that It didn't exactly like the tentacled abomination.

• Obscure Pondering WUU
• Sorcery
• Reveal 4 Instants, Sorceries or Enchantments each with different names from your deck; put one of them on the top of your deck and the rest in your graveyard.

• Guardian of Implacable Aurora 8
• Creature - Construct
• Elucidate
• When ~ ETB, add 1 Human or Construct creature from your deck to your hand.
• WWW: all Construct and Human creatures you control gain Indestructible until end of turn.
• 8 / 8

• Walking Barracade 2WW
• Creature - Construct Wall
• Defender, Shroud, Reach
• This creature can block up to 3 additional creatures.
• Prevent the first 10 damage done to this creature.
• 0 / 5
• We tried to thank it for stepping in so suddenly, but it kept on moving.

One of my go-to conversation starters with other Magic players is what would their Planeswalker card be. (That is, a card that represents them in terms of color, CMC, starting loyalty and abilities.)

Since you mention it, I decided to make a new version of mine, since I haven't for a long time.

Imp, Solitary Watcher 1W(W/U)B(B/R)
Planeswalker - Imp
Whenever a green card or land that produces green mana is on the battlefield under your control or in your graveyard, exile Imp.
+2: Reveal the top card of your library. If it's a noncreature, nonartifact card, draw a card and each player loses 2 life.
-3: Exile target planeswalker, artifact or non-mouse creature.
-7: You get an emblem with "All creatures are mice, lose all abilities, and have base power and toughness 1/1."

Improbable Disaster 5RRR
Sorcery
CARDNAME can't be countered.
Each player chooses a non-land permanent they control at random, then sacrifices all other non-land permanents they control. Permanents put into the graveyard this way are exiled instead.
Make something idiot-proof, and life will invent a better idiot.
Or, if you prefer...

Oops.

I think that idea's been tossed around a few times, though I suppose it's always fun to re-examine it.

(Note that I came up with the name 'Jawmak Dnalast' as a planeswalker alias so I have something better/more natural to use than just "Space Jawa")

Jawmak Dnalast, Heroic Explorer RWWU
Planeswalker - Jawmak
+2: Deal 3 damage to target creature or player. If a creature dealt damage this way would be put into a graveyard this turn, exile it instead.
+1: Look at the top card of your library. If it's a colorless card, you may reveal it, then put it into your hand. If it's a Myr Artifact card, you may choose to instead cast that card without paying its mana cost. Otherwise, put that card on the top or bottom of your library.
-7: Gain an emblem with "At the beginning of your end step, put two colorless 3/3 Myr Angel artifact creature tokens with Flying onto the battlefield under your control." and "Non-black creatures you control have Double Strike, Hexproof, and Lifelink."
Jawmak Dnalast can be your Commander. You and permanents you control have protection from Black. Whenever B would be added to your mana pool, add 1 to your mana pool instead.

What do you guys think of Elucidate?

My planeswalker self, made mostly because I like both monoblack and vintage restricted cards.

Kascorak, Lord of the Forbidden - 3BBBB
Planeswalker - Kascorak
+1: Put a colorless artifact token named Mox Jet onto the battlefield. It has "{T}: Add {B} to your mana pool."
-2: Search your library for a card and put that card into your hand, then shuffle your library.
-7: You get an emblem with "Skip your draw step" and "Pay 1 life: draw a card."
~ can be your commander. When ~ enters the battlefield, if you didn't cast it from your hand or the command zone, sacrifice it. 3

I forgot to put a "can be your commander" clause on my planeswalker, but I think that's probably fitting for me, anyway...

It seems a bit overly complicated to me. But then, I never liked "have a specific kind (especially instants and sorceries) of card in your graveyard and this does a thing" effects.

I think it's difficult to balance this one in particular, since it's usually awkward enough to get cards into your graveyard in limited/standard (sets like So I being the exception) that it justifies them being quite powerful when that goes off, but so much easier to get off in constructed that I'd have a hard time deciding on a middle ground. As well, compared to emerge, it's much easier to put very high CMC cards in the graveyard, so that seems pretty broken. All that with flash as well... Idk. It just seems like an overwhelming mechanic to work with, both in complexity and power level.

Commander is my favorite format (most the time, at least; when it's not being overrun by people who insist on doing everything they can to win without caring if anyone else gets a chance to actually play, let along have fun), so it seemed appropriate for me.

It's also mine, I just don't see myself in a leadership role.

Edit:

Pyramids of Eld
Land
Tap: Add one mana of any color to your mana pool. Spend this mana only to cast enchantments.
The Eldish scholars flocked to the new monuments with enthusiasm, paying little mind to their unexplained arrival.

Grizzled Flatfoot (2B)
Creature - Human Rogue
2/2
Pay 2 life: add {C}{C} to your mana pool. Use this mana only to activate the abilities of Clue tokens you control.
"For me, this is a very interesting case. For you, that means it's going to be a very expensive case."

Chittering Gloom G
Creature - Squirrel Horror
Whenever a forest enters the battlefield under your control, put a +1/+1 counter on CARDNAME.
At the beginning of each end step, if CARDNAMES' power and toughness is equal to or greater than 4/4, exile it, then return it to the battlefield transformed.
1/1
=================
Skittering Doom (Colorless)
Creature - Eldrazi Squirrel
Menace
Discard a land card: Put a creature token onto the battlefield that's a copy of CARDNAME.
5/5

I can't find a remotely elegant way to word this, but I like the effect, so... yeah.

Symbiotic Relationship 2G
Enchantment
When Symbiotic Relationship enters the battlefield, choose two creature types.
Creatures of each type get +1/+1.
If you control both creature types, counting each creature only for one of their types, creatures of each type get +2/+2 instead. (If you were to choose human and soldier, a creature that is a human soldier would count only for one of those types. For this ability to work, you need two creatures, one of either type)

Oh. Right... thanks.

edited 5th Jul '16 3:25:18 AM by ImperialSunlight

Is that +2/+2 in addition to the +1/+1?

If not you need to tag the word "instead" on the end of that.

Estrella, Pirate Queen 2RB
Legendary Creature - Human Pirate
First Strike
Whenever Estrella attacks, you may pay 1 life and put a 1/1 black and red pirate token onto the battlefield tapped and attacking.
Whenever a pirate you control deals damage to an opponent, gain 1 life and you may exile the top card of your library. You may play that card until the end of your next turn.
4/3

Mr Bones' Wild Ride - 2BB
Legendary Enchantment
At the beginning of each player's upkeep, that player returns all creature cards from his or her graveyard to the battlefield that were put into his or her graveyard from the battlefield since his or her last upkeep. Those creatures are Skeletons in addition to their other types.
The ride never ends.

Intellectual Thievery UU
Instant
Copy target instant or sorcery other than Intellectual Thievery. You may choose new targets for copies created with this spell.
Overload 1RR
Those who can, do. Those who can't, learn.

First, fixed. And second, looking at the stack rules, that seems to be a yes, since spells leave the stack after their effect is done. Also fixed.

edited 8th Jul '16 7:44:18 AM by ImperialSunlight

Can you choose new targets for the copies?

Also, would you need a clause that it doesn't copy itself?

edited 8th Jul '16 12:16:15 AM by Durazno

Sword of Null and Void — 3

Artifact - Equipment

Equipped creature gets +2/+2 and has protection from colorless creatures and colorless spells.

Whenever equipped creature deals combat damage to a player, that player sacrifices a permanent and you may put a card you own from exile into your graveyard.

Equip 2
