I love baby carrots. So yummy. Speaking of baby carrots, where's the judge? I give this thread about 1 hour before it explodes again - that's when I'm going to sleep.

Oh we already have 11 entries. Interesting.

I have to say, Kanbei does suit you, Megidodo.

Do you? I certainly know of players with varying degrees of self-control. Anyway I fixed it I guess. Not sure if it would make sense for you to also be unable to lose until all your players are dead, but whatever, that would be kind of hard to word.

Quote from MDenham

Pawn Shop
Land (R)
Pawn Shop enters the battlefield tapped.
T: Target opponent gains control of Pawn Shop and of a nonland permanent you control of that player's choice. Add that permanent's mana cost to your mana pool.

Who the hell comes up with economics as a challenge? Boring people, that's who.

So this ability is white now? Yeah, I see it. Not exciting, though.

Foreign Exchange 2
Artifact (U)
2: Add 1 mana of any color to your mana pool. This ability costs less to play if you control more lands than an opponent.
Tend the herd, but forget not the land they tread.

IIW: Shotgun to the face: style.

Not sure I see the flavor. Interesting mechanic but imperfect execution I'd say.

Quote from Lanxal

Coin Lanes 4
Artifact (R)
Whenever 3 or more mana is spent on a spell or ability, put a coin counter on ~.
Remove three coin counters from ~: Add 3 to your mana pool.
Cities have toppled from a single man knowing where the coins flowed.

IIW: Siggy!

I like this. Not sure I liked the name, but the idea is sound. I'd like it better if you had to sac it though and it cost less to cast.

Wise Investments 1GG

When you tap a land for mana, put an investment counter on ~.
Remove two investment counters from ~: Choose One—Target creature gets +1/+1 until end of turn; or add one mana of any color to your mana pool; or put a land into the battlefield from your hand.

IIW: Supernova

I feel like this needs to cost at least 2gg and should probably require three counters at least.

Enh. I like pacts, but this just doesnt wow me. maybe cuz ive SEEN IT BEFORE.

Quote from ced395

The idea was to try and make "the red two drop" - all the other colors have been given eternal-quality format-defining 2-drop creatures, whereas the best red has been given is Keldon Marauders, Kargan Dragonlord, Blood Knight and Plated Geopede (all of which are really good, but not quite on that level). My card has a really high damage output early game, which is what RDW wants, while at the same time retaining a lot of that damage output in addition to combo potential lategame, giving decks a strong reason to run red.

Morbid Interest 2BB
Enchantment (R)
As an additional cost to cast Morbid Interest, sacrifice X creatures. X can't be 0.
Vanishing X
Whenever a time counter is removed from Morbid Interest, return up to two target creature cards in your graveyard to the battlefield.

IIW: Overcosted abilities.

Clever, but probably could be worded better and still super dangerous.

Quote from jwanders

Economize 2W
Enchantment (R)
You may pay less for creature spells you cast. If you cast a creature spell using this ability, it enters the battlefield with an additional -1/-1 counter on it.
In war and business, nothing beats sheer numbers.

The buck stops here.

Inflation 4UU

Whenever a player cast a spell, put a gold counter on inflation.
Spells cost an addition to cast for each gold counter on inflation.
:1mana:: Remove two gold counters from Inflation. Any player may activate this ability.

IIW: Make a card from Avacyn Restored that would make Archangel's Light a chase rare overnight.

My favorite of these is the top one. Its an idea I've tossed around before. Probably pretty dangerous. Also probably green.

Quote from Socrates

This doesn't make a lot of sense. Where is that ability triggering from if you sacrificed it as part of the cost to exile the lands?

At first I made it a tap ability, but figured it too strong.
I changed it to sacrifice and then pressed submit reply when my colleague came back (I'm not supposed to be reading forums ), wanting to do something about the last ability later on.
You judged too fast

How appropriate.

Emperor's Ascension 2W
Enchantment (R)
At the beginning of your upkeep, if you control a permanent you don't own, put a quest counter on Emperor's Ascension.
Whenever an opponent is dealt combat damage during your turn, if Emperor's Ascension has three or more quest counters on it, gain control of target permanent that player controls.
