People are always talking about how MTG is running out of design space, so let's see if we can prove them wrong.
Come up with an original keyword ability!
>Reinforce 1 (At the beginning of your upkeep, put a +1/+1 counter on this creature. At the end of each combat phase, if this creature attacked or blocked this turn, remove all counters on it.)I may or may not shamelessly steal all your ideas for a campaign.

>Some retarded meteor blast with an extremly coniditional benefit attached

truly original and creative
>>46326511
Cracklespasm is actually legit as fuck. The rest, I don't care.
>>46326540
Red doesnt get counters. And even if it would, it would be just a counter and a shock put together, if you think thats original and creative, i dont know
>>46326511
Hey, I listed those for mechanics.
And Cracklespasm is "what if you could deal damage to spells" pretty much. Fucking with instants and sorceries is secondary red, so fuck you too. We're pushing design space here or what?
And the last one is inspired by Doran and Scornful Egotist or whatever that 7U morph card was called, yes. So what?
>>46326588
that doesnt make these mechanics good or creative. Everything you listed except the white one (can you explain that one?) has been done before in some way or is a slight twist of something. Theres noone that would think this stuff is exciting when seeing the spoilers
>>46326540
Red had some Counter Spells a 1000 yrs ago but they were a mistake and broke the color pie.
>>46326243
I don't think they'd be running out of design space if they weren't so afraid to play with the color pie.
>>46326617
It's from a set where there are a lot of Illusions, and some white creatures might have Heroic.
>>46326625
>Guttural Response
>1000 years ago
;__;
>>46326698
Guttural Response is the same as say, Mana Tithe tho. An extremly specific hate counter that fits to this color. "Counter target spell with CMC 2 or less" isnt red at all. IMO they should do counterspells in other colors more often, but not like cracklespasm
>if X would leave the battlefield, sacrifice it instead
The effect of this is to make the creature invulnerable to exile, which has both good and bad sides.
>>46326736
Here is one more
>>46326430
>http://mtgsalvation.gamepedia.com/Reinforce
Whoops.
Pretend I used a different word, then.
>>46326716
Yeah, color-specific counters should make a comeback.
I just don't like that the colors have been shoehorned/railroaded into some pretty specific roles, when there's stuff in each color that Wizards seems really hesitant to explore nowadays.
>>46326571
>Red doesnt get counters.
Please fuck off. Color pie fags are the reason why Magic is stagnant.
You would immediately change your tune if Wizards published even a single red counterspell because your idea of what is 'okay' is contingent on the fickle whims of businessmen who don't give nearly as much of a shit as you do.
And the funny part is that there probably is a red counterspell somewhere, and you're too busy being a pedantic cunt to have noticed.
>People are always talking about how MTG is running out of design space,
That will never happen. If it seems like that will happen, they just need to introduce a new card type or subtype, or to make "X matters" or "Pay Y" cards.
There's literally an infinite amount of mechanics to explore.
>>46326797
Yeah, there is. Its called Guttural Response. I dislike the strict color pie stuff maro advocates as much as you do. I think red etc should also get access to the stack, but not straight up counterspells. If we give red counterspells, blue burn, white card draw, black exile effects and green creature destruction, we might as well remove colors all together
>>46326797
There's a bunch of red counterspells
>Red Elemental Blast
>Guttural Response
>Pyroblast
>Artifact Blast
>Burnout
They're all very specific, but they're out there. Guttural Response is the newest one and it's almost a decade old, WotC doesn't want to print counters outside of blue anymore.
Old Magic had some really interesting and neat color hate. Fuck, black had an ENCHANTMENT that let you tap BB for a counterspell against green
>>46326797
Color Pie gives an identity to each color. Why do you want to remove it? I like to know where I get my counter spells. If every color can counter you turn this game into ygo where elements and types mean shit because there's nothing like a color pie.
>>46326625
>but they were a mistake and broke the color pie
So are good creatjres and fatties without drawbacks for blue and it still gets that shit.
Give Red counters.
>>46326511
Actually, Insightful Purification has its purposes, and I actually really like it. For one, it kills all of the Illusions that have the 'if targeted, kill' as well as triggering any creature that has a conditional modifier for getting pinged by something. It doesn't actually do anything by itself, but it does at least triggers zany shit that might not otherwise be particularly viable. Hell, Wild Defiance would certainly love it.
Might be one of the neatest cards I've seen on /tg/.
>>46326844
>If we give red counterspells, blue burn, white card draw, black exile effects and green creature destruction, we might as well remove colors all together
Yeah, because giving red one very reddish counterspell is completely equivalent to blue's several hundred counterspells and will damage the distinctions between colors beyond all repair.
If you were bitching about Wizards fucking up their own color distinctions you might have a leg to stand on, but this line of complaining is always directed exclusively at custom card creators who KNOW they are going outside of color boundaries and are doing so intentionally as an ultra-rare one-off exception.
If you could focus on the actual quality and creativity of ideas intead of autistically going on about what fits in which arbitrary category, maybe the custom card threads would actually be worth a shit.I know you're not the guy I was originally directing this at but I'm too lazy to replace all instances of 'you' with 'they', so take my anger and like it you little slut.
>>46326815
Printing bullshit won't work forever. Planeswalker already are on its extreme where people start recognizing the boringness.
>>46326884
What do you mean by "good creatures"?
>>46326851
>Guttural Response is almost a decade old
>Shadowmoor was eight years ago
Holy fuck, I feel old. At least I starte playing in high school to Time Spiral, so I got a few sets in before the game got shitted on.

>One custom card which dips tentatively into another color's territory

You are retarded. I guess elves stopped being a green thing as soon as the first black elf was printed.
>>46326905
What should Red be able to counter?
>>46326982
Artifacts
Blue shit (enemy colors should be able to counter each other)
>>46326940
>color hate being good
Not really
>>46326946
You're fucking stupid. That counter is better than most of blue's counter spells nowadays.
>>46326989
Blue counters artifacts, Red destroys them.
Metamorph X - At the beginning of your upkeep, pay any amount of mana. [Creature Name] gets +X/+X until your next upkeep, where X is the amount of mana you paid.
To be used exclusively on 0 toughness creatures.
I wish there was more stuff like this. This feels on-flavor for red (or black)
>>46327012
Blue counters everything you dip
>>46326736
>posts actual new design example
>everyone ignores it
/tg/ is becoming more and more like /v/
>>46327047
Yes, but it doesn't destroy anything. Red gets almost no counters but destroys thing like artifacts or creatures through burn.
>>46326917
>Printing bullshit won't work forever.
Yes. Yes it can. They can just keep coming up with new triggers like "If your opponent attacks with at least one creature and none of his creatures are unblocked, this happens" or "If there are no land cards in your hand, that happens" just about forever.
>>46327068
The same goes for my abilities anon. Deal with it.
Also: Why do you care about the grave? Ability's quite Devoid-like.
>>46327102
This can go for years but not forever.
Brainstorming a custom Vanguard.
>Spirit creatures deal damage to players in the form of haunt counters. If a player has twenty or more haunt counters, he or she loses the game.
>Spirit creatures cannot be blocked except by other Spirit creatures.
>Whenever a nontoken, nonspirit creature is put into a graveyard from the battlefield, put a token onto the battlefield that's a copy of that card except it's a Spirit in addition to its other types.
I know, it's dumb, way too convoluted, etc etc. All that aside, any help with the wording here?
Stockpile 1 (Pay 3 mana, add a Stockpile counter to this card. Stockpile counters may be removed from this card instead of paying for a single colourless mana)
>>46326243
It's not exactly original; it's an improved version of Bushido for a homebrew return to Kamigawa set I was thinking about.
Outmatch (This creature gets +X/+X whenever it blocks or becomes blocked by a creature, where X is that creature's power.)
>>46327134
Players already accept planeswalkers and emblems as a familiar part of the game. The conspiracy cards less so, and vanguard never caught on, but archenemy and planescape were fun while they lasted.
There is really no limit to imagination. If they ever seem like they need something new, they can even create a new format.
>>46327238
Wouldn't that be Stockpile 3?
>>46326736
Does this work? Wouldn't it have to be worded "put it into its owners gy instead" since it would check after it's left the battlefield meaning you can't sac it.
>>46327271
You're getting extra mana for future turns, I'm trying to balance it so people won't have silly amounts of mana for little effort.
>>46326403
Horribly broken in standard and draft, situational everywhere else.
>>46327068
That's just a card that makes people draw then discard, it's not new or interesting.
>>46326815
This, I would like to see a block focused on creatures who self mill for effects on top of regular costs.
Like "when this creature attacks, mill 4, it gains trample" or a 3/3 for GG that can't attack unless you mill 5.
>>46327305
No, "would / instead" abilities replace the event they're contingent on.
"If X would die, instead put a +1/+1 counter on it" is a cogent ability, for example.
>>46327306
No he means that going by current convention, stockpiling 3 would represent the cost of activating the ability to get a stockpile counter.
So stock pile 2 would get you one counter and stockpile 4 would net you one also,
>>46327315
>3/3 for GG that can't attack unless you mill 5.
Are you joking?
>>46327238
Taxation (When an opponent spends at least three mana, you may pay 2. If you pay, add 1 taxation counter to this card, taxation counters may be used to pay for colourless mana)
>>46327332
Ah, my mistake. Then yes he is correct.
>>46327337
It's a starting base for the mechanic, it could be a 3/1 for GG which needs 5 mill to attack.
>>46327375
It would need to have 4 power for that to be slightly viable, maybe 5 for a rare or mythic rare.
>>46326243
Easy, we get more meta with instants and sorceries, at the moment that section of the game is incredibly stale and incredibly poorly supported compared to creatures, also the lack of soft counters reduces the complexity of the spell game, making combos easier and in turn leading to spells getting nerfed. Interesting cards that will never see a reprint of this sort include Spellweaver Volute and Pyromancer Ascension.
Keywords:
Inevitable:
If this spell is countered exile it with 1 time counter on it, at the end of your upkeep remove a time counter from this spell. If this spell has no time counters on it resolve it.
Recurse:
While this enchantment is in play you may pay the recurse cost to create a token that is a copy of the original enchantment.
Flux:
Any player may gain control of this spell by paying its flux cost, the flux cost increases by 1 each time a player gains control of this spell.
Splice:
When you play a spell of type (X), you may reveal this card from your hand and play its splice cost. If you do, add this card's effects to that spell.
(Note the removal of the arcane restriction)
Spells:
Mythral: Instant
Target instant or sorcery is now an enchantment in addition to its other types, at any point during your upkeep resolve the effect of target instant or sorcery. Target instant or sorcery also gains the flux keyword.
Spell Tangle: Instant (U)
Increase or decrease a numerical value of target spell by 1 (Reiterate, Splice)
Spell hook: Instant (0)
Counter target spell or draw a card (Flux 1)
Stalking Madness: Sorcery (BBB)
Exile target creature (Inevitable)
The Permanence of Law: Instant (WW)
Target spell gains Inevitable
Wizardly Evolution: Sorcery
Target Creature
Splice onto Instant or Sorcery, the effects of the original spell do not resolve, the spell is now an enchantment and loses its previous types. Enchant target creature, tap target creature, target creature may tap to produce the effect of the spell.

Reusable SSG is pretty strong
Slower, yes, but still very good
>>46327484
perhaps I was too autistic about it, it looks like a card that can bounce itself and trigger comes into play effects while granting mana to do so.
>>46327414
Ever heard of Suspend?
>>46327498
Imagine drafting that 3/3 mill 5. You have about four attacks with that before you're at danger of killing yourself and it's not even unblockable.
>>46327094
>Yes, but it doesn't destroy anything. Red gets almost no counters but destroys thing like artifacts or creatures through burn.
The issue with that has always been 'Everything can be countered, not everything can be destroyed with damage'.
Still, I'd be happier to just see Red given more redirect or 'Everything goes crazy'. Like a spell that causes another guys spell to hit EVERY valid target. So you can watch a kill spell nuke the battlefield rather than be precise removal or a buff be mirrored on your guys too.
>>46327515
Fuck, posted too soon.
*and dodge board wipe, removal and damage while doing so
>>46327517
Yes, hence why I copied the text from it and added the condition that you suspend the card when it's countered rather than suspending it as a casting option.
>>46327521
That is an issue, but I feel like milling 4 would be a bit too lenient and upping the power level would turn it into a zoo staple.
>>46327528
There are already cards that use suspend in different ways. Like that Counter Spell from TSP block for 1U. Forgot its name.
>>46327574
Delay

>>46326747
What's the point in giving flying to a creature if you're removing all function of flying, save a couple narrow cases like Seismic Stomp? You're just fucking around for the sake of fucking around. Don't do that. It's terrible design. Flying has a function, which is provide evasion. You don't provide evasion if you're going to remove that evasion unconditionally.
There's also no reason for that to be 3BBB and Legendary. 2BB would be fairer, 3BB if you wanted to put some relevant effect. Madness could be 1BB.
I was to make a cycle of visions, but, well, i didn't yet. The black one was intended to be a gamble on drawing.
Other color's visions had other effects like "vision - put two +1/+1 counters on target creature you control, when you control a creature with power or toughness 7 or greater, sacrifice a creature with the greatest toughness. Distriubte a 6-X -1/-1 counters abong creatures you control" with spell costing like XGG.
Infuse is the RUG mechanic of a set I once worked on. The idea is a spell slinging form of protection for your creatures, which you can trigger yourself as well. Wording is based on Cipher
The flavor is that of elemental wisps that are infused by natural phenomena, exploding in a magnificent display of sound and light when disturbed.
>>46327672
Pretty fond of this one myself.

Aw shit I wish I had ordered that one instead of the English one
Also why is that card almost $10 now, I thought everyone hated Kamigawa
>>46327574
Excellent we could use some more of them, ones that aren't shit unlike delay.

>>46327744
Only difference beetwen infuse and haunt is infuse casting the spell instead of triggering an ability?

I don't see the point of Overwhelming Visions. I don't know why I would ever cast it when I can just draw an extra card every turn for simply revealing a card in my hand. Free card draw is kind of OP.

Infuse
>casts the spell (important for spellslinging decks, prowess, etc)

They're similar, but they play differently.
>>46327047
>>46328076
That's the point of the last lines. You're low on cards and draw it and keep casting stuff, you have free one sided howling mine. You draw it when high on cards, or mana screwed, or even remanded once too much and you have to discard. Maybe it should read "discard your hand" instead.

Slightly reworked old mechanics:

>>46328133
But here's the deal, there's nothing to force you to discard that card. You can't make abilities like that when you're dealing with hidden areas. If you wanted that, you'd have to
a) play with your hand revealed somehow
b) have the discard trigger happen on reveal
And even then, FREE DRAW is never bad, even if it forces your maximum hand size to, functionally, 3 cards pre-draw-step. You get to sift through more cards every turn. Here's how I'd do it.
>Overwhelming Visions, Sorcery, XBBB
>Forecast - 1B, reveal this card from your hand: draw a card and lose 1 life. Then, if you have five or more cards in your hand, discard Overwhelming Visions and another card.
>
>Draw X cards and lose X life. Then, discard 4 cards.
OR MAYBE
>As an additional cost, discard X cards. Each opponent loses X life and discards X cards.
Let's ignore how forecast is not in its correct colours, but that's pretty much how your card functions. The big change is that I added a cost to the ability, making it balanced. I also made it so you'd have to do the discard on reveal, if applicable. The main ability is also better worded and more fitting for black. Also presenting an alternative where you punish your opponents instead, since you've kind of been swimming in card draw, anyway.

Okey, so this is a ultra rare occasion where we break the color pie.

3. Inevitable seems to have a weird and also wrong wording. If remove it it isn't on the stack and shouldn't be seen as spell. If you remove your last counter you have to put it on the stack again.

And HOW do you activate its ability? WHEN does it trigger?
>>46332402
You can counter suspended spells though
>>46332440
Your ability is quite narrow, because counters aren't a big thing

Cracklespasm would be a fucking legacy staple...

Probably not. Would be to broken since the mandatory Counterspell with bribe would basically Modern's version of Force of Will.
I was thinking somewhere somewhere between x1.5-x2 the spell's cmc.
I bet there'd be a deck all about playing Bribe creatures and burn/counterspells with no lands whatsoever to dump your hand on T1 while giving a shitload of gold tokens to your opponent.
Not that it matters, because your opponent's deck runs lands so he has at best 3-4 action cards that he can spend the Gold in.

At best it should be, "counter target blue spell"
