Whoa shit. 5 mana to summon Emrakul.
>>44490092
Nerfed it, happy now?
>>44490224
>>44490092
Or you could run a red green deck and do the same thing with Elvish Piper and one of the one mana red spells or abilities that grant temporary haste.
>>44490224
Why would I play it now?
I'm game.
Posted this once way back in the MTG "Lore" thread, was surprisingly well received.
Did all that snowflake shit go anywhere?
>>44491534
Someone posted some comics a while back, and a few writefags gave us some writefaggotry, but for the most part snowflakes didn't go anywhere. Fun while it lasted though.
>>44491534

>>44492114
>>44491534
It wasn't well received actually, that one was just lumped in with several other Discount Knockoff Eldrazi Wannabees.
Better than the nonsensical chicken at least.
>>44492299
I was only in that one thread and I got only positive comments.
Don't know if he even made it into the big snowflake picture.
>>44490224
That last ability should read "..it deals damage equal to its power to target creature or player."
You added X in there for no good reason.
Here.
>>44492478
I'm assuming this is a deliberate attempt at making fun of snowflakes.
And I'm really hoping I'm right cause I ain't reading all that shit.
>>44492478
Jesus christ.
What the fuck anon.
>>44490092
>what is sneak attack
Go to bed
Monogreen artifact walker
>>44492867
Make ´im rubble themed and it'll work.
Destroying artifacts, getting rubble artifact tokens and cashing them them in for effects.
>>44492534
Not even, I just based it on the decks I had sitting on my desk at the time.
>>44492614
>what is sneak attack
... a card that's not legal in modern?
>>44492891
Sounds more red or RG...
>>44492997
Through the Breach then
>>44490224
I'm not sure if the returning to hand part is necessary now that it costs X loyalty.
>>44492208
Ah thanks man.
>>44493304
It makes sense since it also gives haste.
It basically gives a creature you control dash, which actually fits the color combination.
>>44490068
>>44494305
I don't know i'd pay 6 mana for land tutor OR creature tutor.
>>44490068
Here's an outrageous snowflake for you:
A descendant of Toshiro Umezawa.
Displaced from time by Dominaria's temporal rifts. He finds that the rest of his family line has been hunted down and killed by Nicol Bolas. Now he is the last Umezawa in the multiverse.
The shock of his experience has awakened his latent spark.
Now he seeks revenge. But first, he must return to the home plane of his ancestor.
>>44494386
By the time you get his thing up to 12 you'll have AT LEAST 6 lands plus whatever you have after 8+ turns. Just slapping out every creature in your library seems pretty strong.
>>44494486
also considering all the ways you can add/multiply walker loyalty you could easily fire off the ult in 2-6 turns
Quick question. When the card says "play up to seven permanents from your hand" does that mean you pay the mana cost for each of those cards as well?
>>44494600
It says "then put up to seven permanent cards from your hand onto the battlefield." Put, not play. You don't pay the mana cost for cards you put into the battlefield.
>>44494600
Nope, they're free.
>>44494620
Oh. Thanks. This card just got 3x more useful.
I had an idea for a walker.
They're a dragon, yes. A real motherfucking dragon, like Nicol Bolas. Unlike said Nicol Bolas they are no puppetmaster, no grand evil or ruler. They honestly just want to help others with their problems and do good deeds. Issue is: they're good at being a dragon and very bad at being a problem solver among other things. I'm thinking they're white since the hearts in the right place... but everything else just isn't. They do to much, wind up working for bad guys because they convinced him they're good, hell, he'd think he could talk the Eldrazi into stopping the destruction of Zendikar if you let him.
He's someone who recently sparked and honestly no idea what he's doing and is stupid good to a 'T'. He also keeps notes to try and make sure he has whose good and whose evil straight after a very, very bad time with a conspiracy on this one plane he can never go back to.
>>44490092
it's not even a new concept
also, it doesn't proc. his effects.
>>44494305
>>44490068
Here's my OC guys.

>Where were you when you realized goblins ruin everything.
>>44494693
>it's not THAT OP guys you just swing for 15 damage immediately when she comes down wiping out 6 of the opponent's permanents, come on!
nevermind the fact that it bounces them and it's repeatable, so you can do it again next turn if your opponent hasn't killed themselves!
You know what I fucking want?
A ronin planeswalker from Kamigawa. It's be three color and RWB and be -1/-1 counter based for his plus ability. His minus would be something like giving lifelink and deathtouch. His ult would relatively cheap and probably be something along the lines of large amount of damage distributed as the player saw fit (maybe -X and doing that much damage) which you gaining life equal to damage dealt.
>>44498587
It doesn't bounce and it's totally fair.
I have seen dark things.

Ok then, reposting this one.
Fluffwise he's a bad guy though, part of a loosely tied gang of planeswalkers that bully a not-Theros plane, to put it shortly.
>>44497185
Good thing I just found it and didn't have to buy it.
This is a joke, obviously, but I'd like it if it happened.
>>44501715
...iirc, he'd sorta gib all over the place when he takes minor damage due to the way that 'Being a non-invulnerable creature' and 'Being a planeswalker' interact.
>>44503472

Behold, the snowstorm.It's actually missing twenty or so new ones.
>>44503472
How would Sarkhan react to someone telling him about the existence of Vol The Coward.
>>44503641
And here's the gag version.
>>44503472
One of his Walker abilities would literally be "Put ~ onto the bottom of your library, activate only if a player controls a creature with flying."
>>44503641
>>44503726
Can you add Vol the Coward to this? the gag caption should be "I FUCKING HATE DRAGONS!"
>>44503757
Nah, there's like, six or seven flakewalkers with 'I FUCKING HATE DRAGONS' as their shtick already.
I posted this ages ago in one of the other lore/snowflake threads. I normally hate R/B, so I wanted to try to make an R/B character that wasn't an asshole or a psychopath.
Still feel like the character's got a little too much overlap with Sorin and Chandra, though, working out how to improve her.
>>44503762
Actually he's more likely to go "OHMYGOD A DRAGON! AAAAHHH!"and then he Runs away leaving two burning contrails.
Yes I went there, no I do no regret it
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=e8TZbze72Bc
>>44503692
I feel like Sarkhan would just shrug it off as one of the oddities of time travel.
Vol the Coward, on the other hand, would overcome his natural cowardice long enough to make decking Sarkhan his #1 goal in life.
>>44498736
i'm not talking about through the breach mind you. read the OP's card again.
"Return it to your hand at the beginning of the next end step."
>>44503498
Yep, he loses and gain loyalty each fight. So he must beat other creatures to grow.
And while I'm at it, here's the first draft for the brain of the gang. The idea being he's group hugging everyone until... hysterical backstab!
But that's not quite that, I want opponents to wonder how long they can let him hugging them. As he is now they just have to maintain him barely alive.
He also need a name, but eh.
>>44490397
or you could actually play good cards.
>>44498644
>>44494426
Let's take these two concepts and combine them.
>>44503641
>tfw your flake hasn't made the snowstorm yet
>>44507989
Many threads ago, snowflake anon vanished.
>>44508322
Poor Makar. All he wanted was to reclaim the Multiverse for its rightful heirs.
>>44507989
How does 'finding a race on exactly two worlds in all the multiverse' translate to 'THEY SHOULD RUUULE EEEEVERYTHING' when the race is known for not keeping anything more than what is absolutely required - and anything you can't carry with you isn't absolutely required?
Shit flake
>>44508735
NO
FUCK YOU
THE MULTIVERSE HAS TOO MANY PEOPLE TRYING TO CONQUER IT
>>44509170
Oh, and the en-Kor, the only Kor not found on Zendikar that we know of, are...explicitly Zendikari Kor that were abducted and shoved on Rath (which later merged with Dominaria.)
Seriously, where is this idea of manifest destiny coming from?
>>44503472
Oh my.
I find this funny, because one of my friends has dedicated himself to make only Dragon decks. The lucky devil already has a Silumgar, Kolaghan, Dromoka and Sarkhan, and I won't deny that that I was a little salty.
I decided to make a monogreen deck filled with reach, Hurricanes, Whirlwinds and other lying-hate spells just to spite him.My original idea was to make a wurm deck, but they were too costly mana and only a few of them had any abilities.
>>44510176
Man, he got all of them? That is lucky.
And yeah, it's hard to make a wurm deck.
>>44503819
Black is self-interest and personal gain at the expense of others. This character needs to put themselves above others in order for the black to have any meaning.
As she is, she's mono-red.
>>44513704
I think you have a point. I seriously cannot into black when trying to write from a non-villainous perspective, it's annoying since I hold that all colors are neutral.
>>44513808
Self-preservation is one. As much as she likes certain people and certain places, a little bit of black reveals itself when she absconds entirely for the purpose of saving her skin.
'It's just business' is another. She can regret putting herself before others and she might not necessarily enjoy screwing someone over for her own gain but she explains it to them and to herself as 'it's just business' or 'you'd do the same in my shoes.'
There's a couple more ways of doing black as something neutral but there's no way of depicting this color as something altruistic. It's the color of self.
>>44513965
You've got a point that black is inherently incapable of altruistic behavior. Although I did want to avoid the typical thing black does where it treats people like shit and then makes excuses, I feel like there has to be more to self-value than that kinda shit.
>>44514190
You need some way of conveying that this character looks out more for themselves than any other though, if you're sticking with black.
>>44490068
A double vampire. Like, an actual undead vampire plus the magic essence curse thing from Innistrad, or whatever.
Then some divine power on top of that, from having eaten the blood of a divine being.
White/black focus, enchantments and enchantment creatures, stuff like Odunos River Trawler or whatever. Sort of a Born of the Gods meets Innistrad mechanical feel, with some Eventide thrown in.
Shenny is overpowered as hell because she doesn't fuck around. She can make things so weak they can't use their abilities, cripple whole archetypes with her Emblems, which isn't even her ultimate ability, and finally get down to business of leveling the world and giving you a headstart on conquering it.
I almost made her last ability just outright kill a player because, again, Shenny doesn't fuck around. Decided against it, though, because then you could just cast her with Doubling Season or some other nonsense on the board for a free win.
Mitzy is another waifu I made with the waifu maker. She doesn't fuck around either. Her abilities are tailor made to stop people's bullshit.
>>44490068
Make it WBR
Make the +1 only draw 2 cards
Perfect Mardu Walker
>>44495440
>>44495440
This is super weak for its mana cost, also it's last ability breaks itself. You sac all your creatures and then you add the ability to the stack, meaning you get them all back anyway.
>>44492478
Everything about this is awful
>>44514646
>>44515096
I want to slap you in the fucking mouth.
>>44515477
Why?
Pic is my third idea for a waifu card. Haven't decided on her colors or abilities yet since purple isn't a magic color (yet). Maybe make her mono-green.
>>44515532
>Why?
Because those are fucking terrible cards.
>>44504227
He's pretty cool
>>44501715
He wouldn't work. He deals X while simultaneously losing X? And then gains X? Can I get an example of this in play? Like, make starting X equal 3 or something?
>>44515549
What makes them terrible? Is it because they are poorly designed because fuck over stuff other people love like tokens and lifegain? Because I hate both of those things.
Or do you just mean they are shit and no one would ever use them?
>>44514458
Holy shit I like this card. The flavor text is on point, too.
>>44515714
>I hate both of those things
That's fine, but when you design cards that completely hose 2 strategies because you're pissy about them, it comes off as petty. Also some of those abilities are fucking busted as hell, the WB +1 ability turns your opponent's entire board into a bunch of vanilla creatures. That's insanely overpowered
>>44515793
But I think creatures should be more for their bodies than their abilities. If you want an effect, you use a spell or enchantment or whatever. Besides, it makes your creatures vanilla too.
>>44492208
This was more fun than I thought it would be. Thanks anon.
>>44515859
>I think creatures should be more for their bodies than their abilities
Why the fuck are you playing Magic
>>44515949
Huh. This is a pretty neat snowflake, anon.
I'd be interested to see what happened if he runs into Ob Nixilis once Obby gets back into the "planar conqueror" game.
>>44515949
>interplanar Genghis Khan
I fuck with this dude
>>44490068
He'd obviously be blue, but what would DFW, the Infinite Jest's abilities be?
>>44515993
I started playing in Invasion block and never got with the times. Creatures kinda sucked back then and I liked it better. They kinda sucked all the way up until around Lorwyn block when they started doing stuff like too many tokens and shit. I kinda wish stuff was still like how it was before Lorwyn block. I think that was when things started going the way they are now.
>>44516028
>>44516057
Thanks anons, here's what I think a Tien Shan planeswalker card would look like.
>>44516137
>the game shouldn't evolve because creatures were bad when I started
After much thought, I made a third one. She hates greedy mana bases, and loves basic forests.
>>44516236
But I actually believe this. If it evolved, it can devolve too can't it? My cards would most certainly devolve the game.
>>44516335
God I hope you're shitposting
>>44515993
So, what should I be palying if I want to play magic but with shittier creatures?
>>44516386
pauper
>>44516363
I most certainly am not. I just have very unpopular opinions with most current players, as well as pretty much everyone making the cards nowadays.
I'll freely admit I have shit taste since I also dislike mana-fixing and think most people should have to run green for mana-fixing if they plan on playing more than 2 colors. Dual lands of all types were all mistakes.
>>44516427
I'll try it, thanks.
>>44516476
You are the most confounding Magic player I have ever interacted with. Like holy shit
Can you post a decklist of yours? Any list. I need to know what the fuck kind of decks you run
>>44516532

>>44516855
>>44516785
You're a huge hypocrite
>>44516532
Only have time to post 1 more.
12 Forest
12 Mountain
4 Flametongue Kavu
4 Blastoderm
4 Lightning Bolt
4 Kavu Titan
4 Birds of Paradise
2 Shivan Wurm
3 Ghitu Slinger
1 Moltensteel Dragon
4 Molder Slug
4 Fires of Yavimaya
1 Ghitu Fire
>>44516949
I'm okay with this. I can be a hypocrite if I want.
However, you'll notice none of them have tokens or nonbasic lands.
>>44515764
Eventide is kickin' rad like that.
>>44515714
they're poorly balanced and obviously stupid waifus, for one thing.
seriously, the -3 ability on your first gay card would be a cool emblem if it was her ultimate, but because you can use it immediately when you play her it makes it less cool and more "oh, you're playing that faggy card that hoses my deck because you can't be bothered to beat it any other way. cool i guess."
>>44516317
you're either an amazing troll or the faggiest player.
>>44517004
you look like someone who plays only intro packs
you should work for wizards
>>44515671
>Can I get an example of this in play?
I expect it to work like this when he fights, blocks or is blocked by a creature for the first time:
> He deals 3 damages while receiving whatever damage.
> If whatever damage is lethal, he dies because state base action.
> Then his ability put 3 loyalty counters on it if he's still around.
So he must preys on weaker than him to go up. He looks like a "come at me bro" warrior but actually is a prudent predator.
I initially put him at 4 starting loyalty counters, but I was advised to tone him down.As far as balance go, I have no idea what I am doing.
Cheap as shit, automatically returns to hand.
>>44516317
>>44515096
>>44514646
This is some of the worst formatting I have ever seen.
I couldn't bring myself to make it ultra ridiculous
>>44522022
It's quite tamed indeed, the +1 is kind of weak I would say.
It alsodies instantly since he has no starting loyalty.
>>44522097
Oh right. Fuck, and I lost the art. It was intended to be about 4.
>>44522279
With that art, I like to think he doesn't invoke landsharks, they just spontaneously appear wherever he is.
> "Ah shit, not again!"
>>44522279
That final neg ability is retarded.
Especially considering its BG
>>44522792
Blue is U, B is black
Everything going untapped and tapped is definitely UG, but second combat phases is pretty much red ability land.
>>44522893
I kinda thought it fits here as a more limited version of a second turn, which is blue. Basically a time stretch, but not to the extent that it gives you a whole extra turn.
I wonder if it makes sense.
>>44522965
There are odd variants of an extra turn, but extra combat phases is pretty much exclusively red, with white allowed to touch it once or twice.
>>44522965
It makes sense, but it's still sort of incorrect. When blue gets a second turn it has to deal with what the opponent has. Tapping your creatures and untapping your opponents for a second turn alpha strike is a few Red and White abilities put together.
Alternatively, it's finding loopholes in what blue can do to do non-blue things.
>>44492208
Are we doing this again?
this was fun to do
These things are always fun to do...
>>44523286
I like these two a lot. Nice one, Anon!
>>44526030
>>44523286
Love these, would run in flavourful decks
An alternate timeline version of my DandD cleric, in which he completed the Gauntlet as opposed to running away.
