Attack of the Clones (Antiantiserum)
Excellent theme, extremely intriguing mechanic, super fun for multiplayer games. It might not be good for competitive or limited, but not every card has to be.
9/10
Fight Club (Ruggley)
Fun theme and concept, fun mechanic. It unfortunately suffers from usability, because 99% of the times it would be played to profit the controlling player for one turn, which kinda ruins the fantasy.
7/10
Edge of Tomorrow (TotallyHaywire)
Totally bonkers card. I’m not exactly sure of the usability, but as a concept it blows my mind. It might not even have to be this expensive as I can’t think of a way to break it off the top of my head (except playing multiple). I’m willing to bet we’ll see a printed variation of this card one day.
9/10
Bill and Ted's Excellent Adventure (Mergatroid_Jones)
Hahaha, I laughed out loud when I read this. Excellent design, challenging gameplay, this card would make a super fun deck around it. Thumbs up
10/10
Space Jam (picnic_bomber)
Cool concept. Stealing activated abilities sounds cool but is very frequently not as useful. I’m debating in my mind if this should be white instead of blue, maybe without activated ability and costing 1 less. Still a good card.
8/10
Little Shop of Horrors (Mr_Lord_Mr)
Interesting card. A lot of things happening, meaning it’s good that it’s legendary. The limitation for controlling a big creature feels unnecessary, and the requirement of black on an otherwise green land is unusual. It didn’t get me excited but it’s got things going for it.
7/10
Rise of the Guardians (Cardz5000)
Hehe, pretty cool. I love the lore reference. It’s an excellent concept and feels pretty balanced and a solid card.
10/10
Inception (AntiPox)
Fittingly weird as hell. Basically, the opponent has to defeat you on his turn, otherwise you can force both of you to start a new game with the decks. But if you feel like it or would lose in a subgame, you can tap the artifact and then everything is reset back to the original, then start all over again? It feels like a stalling strategy waiting to happen, but fun to think about it.
Infinity/0
Some lovely designs here guys. I have to go for Mergatroid_Jones' excellent choice in movie and extremely intriguing gameplay.
Next challenge: A card that fits an image. Any image will do, as long as it fits the card. Attach the image.

Guide of Astray Ways1BB (image from the plane shift: ixalan guide) Creature — Demon (Rare)
When Guide of Astray Ways enters the battlefield, you and an opponent each chooses a different nonland cardtype.
Whenever you cast a spell of a chosen type, target creature you control gets +X/+0 and gains menace until end of turn, where X is equal to its power.
Whenever an opponent casts a spell of a chosen type, target creature of that player's choice gets -0/-X until end of turn, where X is equal to its power.
3/3
Harry Dresden, Wizard for Hire (Moonleaf): A dino-car is a pretty cool upside, and the stats look pretty good here. I like that the vehicle does nothing by itself, but is still a powerful upside. The image is pretty cool too.
Cerberus Juvenile (void_nothing): Adorable. The multiplying power ability can get pretty powerful, and I'm always a fan of a one-drop that keeps on giving.
Adjourning Assault (Cardz5000): Huh. So my creature escapes combat, but not before dealing its damage. That's a fine card, but doesn't feel black/red. It seems more like a white card than anything. The image does fit the card pretty well.
Guide of Astral Ways (Antiantiserum): So two card types get chosen, and they help the demon while hurting the opponents' creatures. That works, but there are a lot of triggers, and I think it can get confusing. I think it would be better with only one card type chosen, that way there is less of a memory issue, and it makes the caster think about whether it's better to help themself or hurt their opponent.
I'm going to give it to the dino-car: Moonleaf wins.
Gambler's Scheme 3UB
Enchantment
Whenever a player would draw a card, exile it face down. X: Turn target face down card you own in exile face up. If it's converted mana cost is less than X, you may cast it without paying its mana cost. Otherwise, if you are not the controller of Gambler's Scheme, place a charge counter on it. X cannot be 0. Any player may activate this ability.
Remove a charge counter from Gambler's Scheme: You may cast target face-up card from exile this turn, and you may pay mana as though it were mana of any color to do so.
That's fair. One thing to note however is that one never gets to hurt the opponents, at least not directly with the demon's ability. The opponents are the ones hurting creatures. That's why I wanted there to be at least one type chosen by an opponent. Now that I think about it a little longer, it may have been enough to let only an opponent choose a card type. Opponents probably want to kill a few dudes and would already choose a card type where there's plenty of cards usually in the game. I'll post a new verson in the DCC.
Ixidor, the Banished3BB Legendary Creature — Human Wizard (Mythic)
Cards in your hand and face-down creature you control have morph. Their morph cost is equal to their mana cost. 0: Reveal the morph cost of a face-down creature you control and pay that cost. If you do, turn that creature face-up. If you pay for and turn-up a nonpermanent card this way, you may exile it instead of putting it into your graveyard. You may cast that card without paying its mana cost for as long as it remains exiled.
3/4
IIW: Mana costs that have never been printed.
edit: o. m. g. did i do it again? is this card distinct enough from the previous entry? : (
Wow, I completely missed that. Sincere apologies. The card is pretty damn cool, with the final ability being the main one. It goes infinite with a sac engine and Cathodion or like cards, and while that's not a problem, there might be an infinite combo out there that is a problem. Nevertheless, the card is really cool, and could possibly have one if I had seen it. I didn't think there were any cards on the previous page. Apologies again.
Zannonbab, the StrangeRR
Legendary Creature- Elemental Scout (R)
First Strike
When another creature enters the battlefield, turn Zannonbab and that creature face down. They can be turned face up at any time for their mana cost. (While face down, they're 2/2 creatures)

Incarnate B
Sorcery
Target player reveals his or her hand. You choose a card from it. That player manifests that card. (To manifest a card, put it onto the battlefield face down as a 2/2 creature. If it's a creature card, it can be turned face up any time for its mana cost.)
IIW: Design a card to replace any of the immediate reprints from Rivals of Ixalan. (The reprints are: Legion Conquistador, Raptor Companion, Sailor of Means, and Colossal Dreadmaw.) Keep the same tribe and converted mana cost, aim for Common-level complexity, but give us something fresh.
Thoughts Came Real2UUGG
Sorcery (r)
Manifest your hand, then draw that many cards. Instinct and thought are two forces that should never be underestimated. By instinct we were brought where we are, and by thought we make sure we will not leave.
Gambler's Scheme (TotallyHaywire)
Main concept is pretty cool. Having about 40% of the cards be lands, though, and having to pay 1 to play the land, is pretty awkward. And then if you pay low and reveal a card you can’t play, the opponent can play it? The execution could have been better.
6/10
Ixidor, the Banished (Antiantiserum)
Giving morph to every creature in your hand is cool (maybe not black but that’s semantics). Giving morph to non-creature cards, meaning that you have to pay 3 + normal cost, just to temporarily have a 2/2, not so much. Needs a bit of work to make it more interesting.
6/10
Yawning Portal (Link)
Quite a cool card, making you think of deckbuilding differently. I’d rather if it wasn’t a land, Library of Alexandria is an example of old design.
9/10
Dimension of Hyperchaos (AntiPox)
Heh, haven’t seen a World for some time now. Pretty chaotic, pretty fun, no major flaw to it. The excitement you get from it depends on the type of player you are.
8/10
Zannonbab, the Strange (Mergatroid_Jones)
Pretty cool. It’s an unintentional soft removal for enemy creatures that doesn’t fit red too much. The stats of it aren’t very exciting.
7/10
Warscorn Mastodon (Cardz5000)
It’s interesting how the main form has a positive and a negative effect. I like the synergy it offers.
9/10
Incarnate (JaceTheBodySculptor)
I had to think long and hard about this card. On one hand, it’s ‘one black and two cards for a 2/2 round one’, on the other it’s ‘opponent discards a card and gets a 2/2, if it’s a creature card he may be able to get it in play’. I really like it, but I’d probably like it more if it did only one of the two (maybe if the self-manifest happened if you paid green?)
9/10
Thoughts Came Real (Hemlock)
Haha, this is really amazing. At 4 cards left, it’s four 2/2, good value at 6 mana. At more cards, it’s even more insane. I’d play this in a variety of decks.

Iyatil's HeartRW
Legendary Enchantment (R)
Whenever a creature you don't control attacks, put a +1/+1 counter on Iyatil's Heart and it deals 1 damage to that creature's controller.

Quite a cool card, making you think of deckbuilding differently. I’d rather if it wasn’t a land, Library of Alexandria is an example of old design.
9/10
Dimension of Hyperchaos (AntiPox)
Heh, haven’t seen a World for some time now. Pretty chaotic, pretty fun, no major flaw to it. The excitement you get from it depends on the type of player you are.
8/10
Zannonbab, the Strange (Mergatroid_Jones)
Pretty cool. It’s an unintentional soft removal for enemy creatures that doesn’t fit red too much. The stats of it aren’t very exciting.
7/10
Warscorn Mastodon (Cardz5000)
It’s interesting how the main form has a positive and a negative effect. I like the synergy it offers.
9/10
Incarnate (JaceTheBodySculptor)
I had to think long and hard about this card. On one hand, it’s ‘one black and two cards for a 2/2 round one’, on the other it’s ‘opponent discards a card and gets a 2/2, if it’s a creature card he may be able to get it in play’. I really like it, but I’d probably like it more if it did only one of the two (maybe if the self-manifest happened if you paid green?)
9/10
Thoughts Came Real (Hemlock)
Haha, this is really amazing. At 4 cards left, it’s four 2/2, good value at 6 mana. At more cards, it’s even more insane. I’d play this in a variety of decks.
