CC, your entry is the best post I've seen in a long time. I wish I remembered what other people were like or what they designed, but I don't. So I'll rejoin the club as a contestant after Christmas.
Oh wow, I actually was thinking about this. One time only, one time I'm ever actually doing this:
Jiggernuts2WW
Creature - Human Gamer
At the beginning of your upkeep, put a level counter on Jiggernuts
Level 2-4: 4/4
Level 5+: 11/11, Jiggernuts is indestructible, infect, trample.
1/1
Get it? Because he gets better over time. Yeah.
I think this would have been a bit better if he sacrificed himself at end of turn for flavor reasons. "... and then he just disappeared." Still, the entry is good, doesn't set off alarm bells nor wows me. You get a
Jiggy, Stranger in a Strange Land1WW
Legendary Creature - Human Gamer (R) (silver-bordered)
Whenever you cast a spell, if that spell card is printed in a language other than this card is printed in, put two 1/1 green Cat creature tokens onto the battlefield. "how this is food? i cannot eat this animal. 0 out of 10"
1/4
IIW: Romantic cards.
This can be fun. I feel like it can be a bit broken when playing a deck with all Japanese cards, for example. Why Cats? Fine entry, though. You get a
Jiggernuts the Misguided2R
Legendary Creature-Goblin {R}
Haste
During each player's upkeep, that player flips a coin. If heads, that player untaps Jiggernuts the Misguided and gains control of it. 1: Flip a coin, if heads, Jiggernuts gets +1/+1 until the end of the turn, if tails, Jiggernuts gets -1/-1 until the end of the turn.
2/2 Oh Jiggernuts, why did you write everything in blue?.
IIW: Sleep Deprevation
This is a pretty wacky card and is pretty reminiscent of jiggernuts. A good card. You get a
Legends of the Past3W
Enchantment Imprint - When ~ enters the battlefield, exile any number of creatures from your graveyard.
Creatures you control get +1/+1 for each one of the exiled creatures it shares a name with.
Yeah... I don't know any of these people.
IIW: Mafia
Not a huge fan. It feels flavorful but narrow. Also, is this grossly overcosted on purpose? Anyways, you get a
Snapcaster Mage will be a dollar-five dollars in a few months, just wait. It's like when I told my friends "Don't buy Jace for $80, he'll be $40-50 in a month." a month later, he was banned, and dropped like mad
People have overhyped these cards. Snapcaster Mage for $25? Pffft it's a rare. Not a Mythic
Ham's Den
Land (R)
:symtap:: Add to your mana pool.
:xmana:,:symtap:, Sacrifice a X/X creature: You gain X life. Spend only mana produced by basic lands on X and activate this ability only during your turn.
IIW: Create a card out of your girlfriend or loved one.
I don't quite get this card. It's a bit narrow and who wants to sacrifice their Splinterfright to gain some life? You get a
my guess is it needs a phytohydra rewording. i'd make it combat damage, but to each his own.
Brofaux, the Troublemaker1RWU Planeswalker - Brofaux [m]
[+2]: Put a LIES counter on Brofaux. The next spell or ability an opponent casts or activates that could target Brofaux or that could target you and be redirected to Brofaux does. When it does, remove a LIES counter from him.
[-1]: Put a copy of the creature with the highest power onto the battlefield under your control. Put two copies of the creature with the lowest power onto the battlefield under target opponent's control.
[-7]: An opponent separates all permanents into two piles. Exile a pile.
[3]
iiw: nine, nine, nine
This card seems random. The only cool thing about this card is the +2, and this guy already has loyalty counters on it already. Still, I'm intrigued by the design. You get a
Megiddo, the Departed1U
Legendary Creature - Homarid Illusion (Mythic Rare)
Flying
You may have Megiddo, the Departed enter the battlefield with two +1/+1 counters on it. If you do, it lose all abilities.
Megiddo, the Departed can't have -1/-1 counters place on it.
When Megiddo, the Departed is dealt damage, put that many +1/+1 counters on it instead. His trolling will was just too strong to disappear with him.
0/0
Fixed for playability.
No IIW, but I'll judge anyways. So, this guy can be a 2/2 for 1U? That's not allowed yet. Did you forget the rule that it doesn't die when it's 0/0? I'm not sure about this card. You get a
Pressingnuts1RG
Enchantment (R)
Creatures you control have haste.
You can't cast more than one spell each turn.
Spells you cast have cascade. "im sre this prize i will win on this contest next time."ç
IIW: A fine common with CMC 6.
So, basically all your creatures have haste, you can only cast one spell each turn, and you get to do some cool flourishes with your library. :no:. You get a
Target creature gets haste and trample and has the choice of +1/+1 or first strike when Pressingchess is out.
When pressingchess deals damage, you may pay 1 life: Place a counter on him for each damage he deal. He get +1/+0 for each these counters unless any player pays the Sum of X where X is the Sum of counter(s) on him.
You can pay 1(W/U) and sacrifice a card in your hand you control: Exile Pressingchess and return him to the field controlled by you at your next end of turn. You may use his ability again by paying 2 life.
jiggernaut 6
legendary godly artifact creature - juggernaut orange
jiggernaut attack each turn if able and have trample.
jiggernaut get +1/+1 for each other juggernaut creature you have.
when jiggernaut comes into the battlefield or attack you may sacrifice any number of artifacts. target opponent must sacrifice an artifact for each artifact you sacrifice. "you get wool from sheep not food unless it is milk or cheese"
5/5
jiggernaut 6

jiggernaut get +1/+1 for each other juggernaut creature you have.
when jiggernaut comes into the battlefield or attack you may sacrifice any number of artifacts. target opponent must sacrifice an artifact for each artifact you sacrifice. "you get wool from sheep not food unless it is milk or cheese"
5/5
I don't quite get this card. It's a bit narrow and who wants to sacrifice their Splinterfright to gain some life? You get a ?
You didn't realized that it pertains to a 1/1, 2/2, 3/3, 4/4, and so on. I create a few custom cards before with the same gimmick. Since the phrase "sacrifice a creature with X power and X toughness" is redundant compared to sacrifice a X/X creature. Just check Mirror Entity Best custom card submission before with this feature with Green Sun's Zenith not yet a MTG card.
can't remember the name :xmana::symg::symg:
Sorcery
Search your library for a X/X creature card and put that card onto the battlefield. Then shuffle your library.

"Here only miracles. Here, only the rising of spirit. And yes, love if it was pertinent (which it was so often); and sometimes bloodletting. But never the prosaic, never the trivial. Here the man who brought the strangest tale was the most welcome. Here every excess was celebrated if it brought visions, and every vision analyzed for the hints it held to the nature of the Everlasting." - Clive Barker's Imajica
The Nightmare3UBB
Legendary Creature - Horse (Mythic Rare)
Deathtouch
When The Nightmare is dealt damage, put an insomniac counter on target creature. Creatures with insomniac counters must attack each turn if able. 2: You control target creature with an insomniac counter until end of turn. 1U: You control target creature with an insomniac counter until end of turn. That creature gains flying. 1B: You control target creature with an insomniac counter until end of turn. That creature gains infect. "When I heard the sound of the pounding hooves, I knew my will was no longer my own."
0/8

Tribal Artifact - Goblin Equipment (U)

1. Don't forget to vote for this year's Card Maker of the year! Obviously I'd like it if you would vote for me, but all three candidates are very deserving (and Club Flamingo regulars), so I can't get mad if you vote for somebody else!
Hazy Inspiration1UU
Enchantment U
At the beginning of your upkeep, if you have twenty or fewer cards in your library, draw two cards. All those weird ideas that you get when you've gone so long that your brain can't come up with normal ones? Yeah, this is the same thing.

Guard Duty3W
Enchantment (R)
At the beginning of each upkeep step, put a shift counter on each creature without vigilance that attacked last turn and remove a shift counter from each creature without vigilance that didn't attack or block last turn.
Creatures get -1/-0 for each shift counter on them. The first rule of guard duty is "don't piss off the guy who writes the schedule if you want to sleep ever again."
IIW: At the beginning of your upkeep, if you control 100 or more Fungus creatures, you win the game.

Not that Oculus and Sir Aureus aren't great designers (they are), it's just that Megiddo is more of CCC(&G) personality. Might be the ego?
