The point of this game is to design bad rares that appear to do something.
Edit: Read the last post.
They should have a nice amount of rules text. i.e. no vanillas.
However try to make them simple.

At the end of each player's turn, if that player has 7 or more cards in hand, that player discards his or her hand. The pure power of the potential would make anyone go mad.

I like the idea of the game, but there's no real point in posting the cards here. Most games help you get an idea of your card so it's not just a shot in the dark. Maybe we should add requests or something?

When regular combat damage is on the stack, return each creature you control to its owner's hand.

I think I know what he means. Right now, people are just posting crappy cards, there's no rhyme or reason to what gets posted. To make it more of a game than a dumping ground, it's as simple as giving the next person some idea of a what to make. If the person before me had said, say, make a white Instant card, I could post...

Target opponent skips his or her next combat phase. In the heat of battle, even a moment's rest is welcome.

To him,
Nothing has worth
Unless it belongs
To someone else.
It is not the lust for wealth
That drives him
Simply the hunter's thrill,
And the moment
Of acquisition.
Nothing is truly your own.
It is his –
Whether you know it or not.

What it meant to lose you
No on will ever know
To mourn for you no more
To remember all the happy times
Life still has much in store
We pledge to you today
A hallowed place within our hearts
Is where you’ll always stay
Hand Cannon is pretty good, which for the purpose of this thread isn't so great.
Crazed Goblin and Ungodly Abomination both suffer from being boring.
