MTG Salvation

All you need is any engine that generates energy.

Then you already have an infinite combo, which can just be a kill shot by its lonesome with Aetherwind Basker or something. If you're already looping two Thriving Turtles with Cloudstone Curio, Mycosynth Lattice, and Mana Echoes, adding a five-mana brick that does nothing without an external source of energy isn't exactly going to bust Legacy wide open.

What about Standard or Modern?

Emboldened is alternate ability word to Lieutenant and can be put on noncreature spells without sounding off as Lieutenant would.

Edit: New page. Adding last card to this post
Identical Return 4BB
Sorcery (U)
Return target creature and each creature with the same name as that creature from your graveyard to the battlefield.


My Post
We've gotta have cards designed exclusively for Commander too ya know!

See?! Identical Return is useless in Commander! Aside from that, IR seems very reasonable considering Selvala's Stampede. I'd play it in BG deck all day

Next:

lol Krenko's Command

Not great feedback. I can't help but notice that your feedback on people's cards is pretty lacking. Try getting involved a little bit instead of saying everything is "boring" or "unfun." We're making custom cards here Lightening up please! Thanks. (you don't have to love my designs, to be clear)

"uninteresting"

"egregious"

"Needlessly complex gibberish."

"Our commander products this year..."

I've been designing cards for Commander and you've said a variation us this every time.

"Command" has an association with modal spells. This is not that.

This made me laugh and it's the second time you've said it. Stop saying it lol while it's technically true (there is an association) Command is not exclusive to modal spells. On top of all that, we get this:

Dog Gone B
Instant
Exile target hound or wolf.
Cycling - Bark three times.

Hound and Wold need to be capitalized. And Bark needs explained

A predictable respons which is why I said "you don't have to like my designs, to be clear" apparently not clear enough

My issue with Jayl is she doesn't at all feel legendary. The existing legendary Spellshapers cast gigantic spells that require two discarded cards. Jayl is just a utility removal creature that is legendary and has partner in order to be broken in Commander.

I guess that, given the ruling this wording gives, it can tap for attack and, if dealing damage that way, it won't need to be tapped for the second part to work and in your next turn it's just a land. I dig it, alright.

I'll say it right here: I love monstrous, specially hydras. I'll go overboard with the former:

Shuul, the Aethereal Menace 5GG
Legendary Creature - Nymph Dryad
As an additional cost, discard any amount of cards
When ~ enters the battlefield, you get as many E as cards discarded to cast it.
Whenever a monstrous creature attacks alone, you get E equal to its power.
Pay E: Put a +1/+1 counter on target monstrous creature.
6/4

The combination of energy counters and monstrosity makes no flavor sense. I'm not sure the discard-for-energy thing makes sense, or is necessary, either. And putting a pump ability on a 6/4 for seven mana is very win-more. A 4/4 for 2GG that just said "Whenever a monstrous creature you control attacks alone, put a number of +1/+1 counters on that creature equal to its power" would be potentially interesting, although I'd be likely to make this a two- or three-colored creature with a couple other relevant abilities (reducing activated ability costs?) for Commander purposes.

Mmm... interesting... Lemme fix it:

Shuul, the Aethereal Menace 3BG
Legendary Creature - Nymph Dryad
Costs of creatures with monstrosity you control cost up to 1 less to activate for each tapped land you control.
Monstrosity abilities of creatures you control can't be countered.
Whenever a monstrous creature you control attacks alone, put a number of +1/+1 counters on that creature equal to its power.
Imprint - Whenever a monstrous creature you control dies, you can exile it instead.
During your standby phase, you may pay X life: return a creature with converted mana cost of X exiled by ~ to the battlefield.
4/4

All of that doesn't look great on the card but I suppose that doesn't really matter.

Umm.... Yeah, the image is great, but the text looks weird. Also, it's BG instead of just G.

Let's make her RG and remove the last two lines and it should work:

Shuul, the Aethereal Menace 3RG
Legendary Creature - Nymph Dryad (M)
Costs of creatures with monstrosity you control cost up to 1 less to activate for each tapped land you control.
Monstrosity abilities of creatures you control can't be countered.
Whenever a monstrous creature you control attacks alone, put a number of +1/+1 counters on that creature equal to its power.
4/4

Zeta that looks a lot better now

Hmmm...... oookay, I think? An interesting way to win by mill, though that P/T means that he'll at least hit like a truck most of the time, and at least might be good for mill decks. I guess I have no particular complaint; he's fragile and easily blocked...


Proliferate target?

Lethal Apathy 3BBB
Enchantment - Aura Curse (M)
Enchant player
At the beginning of each upkeep, if enchanted player didn't cast any spell last turn, put an apathy counter on Lethal Apathy. Then if the number of apathy counters on Lethal Apathy is equal to or more than three times the number of players, enchanted player loses the game.
If you don't want to do anything, might as well do nothing at all.

A bit too lethal, I think?

I don't think it's okay color pie-wise for a white-blue deck to be able to spend WU and then ramp to five mana on turn three.

This card adds mana as green, uses sacrifice to get that mana, something red and black do well, specially the latter, while the use of artifact AND their destruction for effects is something that fits the WUB shard of Esper. And it's not something you would use in turn 3 if you play WU, either, but something you would keep it for later. With blue control players, it's likely the mana crystals will wait until the time is due to cast Counterbalance or any other of those.

So, it's the kind of mana boost that WU would see some use for use... but BRG have WAY better options, specially the last two. Yes, WU don't usually have mana ramps, but they don't burn their mana as much as the rest of the colors.

I see the point to the card, but I agree with void: WU are not THAT desperate for mana ramp, lest by sacrifice.

Aethereal Overdrive (X)XUG
Instant (M)
Reveal the top X cards of your library, then play all lands revealed that way and return all other cards revealed this way to the top of the deck in random order.
"It took a lot of work, but I think this should work."
--Assan, Explorer of the Lines

The thing in the mana cost is because I'm undecided. the flavor text is kind of based on Zendikar, because why not.

^ My attempt at your card ^

The Instant part makes it tough. You can totally do it the way you already have it though Animist's Awakening

My card: Looking for power level thoughts and CMC suggestions

If you don't like the tokens it makes (looking at you hydra ) then evaluate the effect itself. Thanks

Lifelink isn't green. I understand the arguments for green lifelink. Agree with some of them, even. But you need to justify this because as-is it looks like it needs white in the cost.
