MTG Salvation

Fatherly Judging
Sorcery

Radiance — Choose a color. Target creature becomes target chosen color and gains shroud until the end of turn. Each other creature(s) of that color can't block creatures of this target chosen color.

Any player may play this spell's Radiate cost.
Radiate :2mana:: (When you play this spell, you may pay its Radiate cost. If you do, copy it for each legal target. Those copies target those targets.)

And as for that debated this Pathee Academy Of the Gifted and Natural Science senior started when she given a human dock worker strongman a second chance to reconsider his bidding style with the human "who's obviously wasn't another pirate."

A correction that clarifies why its a simple converted mana casting cost for the exerted energy necessary to perform this more simple movement creating the resulting function.
(My favorite rating in the challenge thread so far is 3.1416....)

Fin Tail Flick
Instant

Counter Target blue spell that a controller's paid a total casting sum of 3 or less to play.

"Nothing Personal, but that would have been too easy." The Pathee student watching from the crates said half-laughing as she dive into the water again.

Huh? Flanking is an ability. See Knight of Sursi. Allowed me this correction?

Flanking Nets
Enchantment - Aura
Flash
Enchant creature with flying.
Enchanted creature has flanking. (Whenever a creature without flanking blocks this creature, the blocking creature gets -1/-1 until end of turn.)
Tap enchanted creature, it cannot untap.

Now tis a 7


I guess you mean a creature that can counter a spell. Evasive Action


Docks Guards
Creature - Merfolk Wizard

Shroud Islandwalk.
When this creature enter play exile target creature with a mana-cost or activated ability.
Whenever a player cast a spell, you may return Docks Guards to its owner's hand.

: Counter Target Spell.
1/4

Windshear - :2mana::symg:
Sorcery
~ deals 3 damage to target creature with flying.
Radiate - :symg:. (When you play this spell, you may pay its Radiate cost. If you do, copy it for each legal target. Those copies target those targets.)

Nice and typical burn reserved for flyers. Limited does something to its rating. Tis 6.

Fatherly Judging (2)
Sorcery

Radiance — Choose a color. Target creature become chosen color and gains shroud until the end of turn and each other creature that shares a color with target creature can't block a creature sharing the chosen color.

Any player can pay and play this spell's Radiate cost.
Radiate :2mana:: (When you play this spell, you may pay its Radiate cost. If you do, copy it for each legal target. Those copies target those targets.)

Bottleneck :3mana::symb::symb:
Sorcery
Target opponent may discard any number of cards. Then, that player sacrifices lands equal to the number of cards in his or her hand.

That was worse than my broken plugs (See Tangle Golem )

You can't use targeting in text try:

Bottleneck :3mana::symb::symb:
Sorcery
Chosen opponent may discard any number of cards. Then, that player sacrifices lands equal to the number of cards in his or her hand.

Now, Tis a 8.

(Rather than cast this card from your hand, you may pay and exile it with three time counters on it. At the beginning of your upkeep, remove a time counter. When the last is removed, cast it without paying its mana cost. It has split second.)

Assuming you mean:

Tropical Changeling
Creature - Changeling
As Tropical Changeling enters the battlefield, it becomes the color or colors of the last card any player played from their hand.
:2mana:: Spend only mana from basic lands to play this ability. The mana must be of different colors. As long as Tropical Changeling is the colors of the mana used to pay for this ability, it gains +3/+3 until end of turn.
1/1

Okay. This is super confusing. I tried to write it the way you meant it, which in itself is incredibly confusing. So you're basically paying a green for a 1/1 that immediately changes color to the last card that someone played. Then, if you can pay 2 mana from basic lands of the same color(s) of Tropical Changeling when you played it, it gets +3/+3.

Functionally strange, worded very awkwardly, and off-color to boot. 2/10.

Cagna, I dont understand where that deductions came from:
1. A Basic Land is one color and to use two would mean up to two different colors only
2. You did understand the colors changing part which I change because of fear of the confusion.
3. Effective is the damage on the stack and in a weenie deck where one leaf or one drop is the proper for this now a 4/4 (looking for a growth touch to 7/7) if you opponent doesn't empty his/her hand in defense. 7/7 on turn two with one mana spent is demand to lose or use the cost of instant exile from their hands. Tis goooooood
Pressingchess

(This spell costs less to cast for each artifact you control.)

Muraganda Templar :3mana::symg::symr:
Creature - Lizard Monk
Lizard creatures you control have trample and haste.
~ gains +1/+1 until end of turn.
4/5

A five mana cost that will be accounted for before played because this one wins games with a theme and everywhere else, so for the theme Tis 10 but no theme tis 9

Dude I did follow your advice even drop the fortification idea to meet the challenge?

Listen,Meggido and the Motley Fool, you two sound like this is everything and all and I do feel pressured. I believe indirectness is a good indicator of avoidance tendency (I am honest, though and now I attempting to calm U two down by talking directly over you.) Now can I simply read your advice and keep doing my best instead of this unnecessary exchanges?

Quote from The Motley Fool

ok bud, I'm gonna sit you down and talk this one through you methodically. Every single card you've designed has been very, very complicated and not even remotely worded to make sense to any of us. Maybe its your English, or maybe these cards make perfect sense to you, or maybe you're just trolling all of us at this point, but I'm still gonna do my part here to try and help you get better. Cool? Cool.

Let's start by formatting your card into a way that makes people understand what it's doing:



Ok, so far so good. The "Lizard Equipment" thing is dangerous, because each subtype refers to a different general type, but we'll let it slide and just assume that it works for now.



I split up the first ability here so it makes sense. Since you're equipping a land, technically you just made a fortification, so lets just go up and make it a fortification instead of equipment.



Cool. The next ability is fine, just not grammatically correct. That's ok, but it'd be nice if you actually started using standard templating, just to make all our lives easier.

Reading the last ability, it's just pretty much gibberish, and really wouldn't fit on an actual card, and this guy has enough abilities already, so let's keep the edited version cleaner and drop it.

So this is what I'm left with, if it were anything resembling a real magic card:



Can you see what I'm trying to get at here? With your cards, you're showing that you either really, really need to work on your English, or really, really need to work on designing much, much simpler stuff. Probably both. I'm sure you can get better, but I think you really need to start working on some things here.

This is way, way, way overpowered. So insanely overpowered. It also doesn't actually work. Creatures can't be attached to things. Also, making scads of unblockable, indestructible (!), SHROUDED (!!!!!) tokens for one mana each is insane. INSANE. 0/10 for making a card that is broken in both senses of the word.

Now a card that hates it into oblivion?

Sokenzan Gatecrasher :2mana::symr::symr:
Creature - Ogre Warrior
Kicker :symr::symr:
When Sokenzan Gatecrasher enters the battlefield, destroy target fortification. If it was kicked, destroy the land it fortified and put a +1/+1 counter on Sokenzan Gatecrasher.
3/3

Next: Make another card that expands on one of the future sight one-ofs.

Pressingchess: Try designing cards with just one ability for a while. Just one. One sentence, even

P.S. It more likely get kick and a new land more likely get fortified but 9/10 against that counter spell problem is the nearly everything esle. Yes, hate it beyond oblivion.

With your advice and avoiding the short-sightness of been lacking of astuteness, the challenge was for a hybrid card of the Eventide set style and that must be satisfy.
Since I did attempt a two for one challenge with my objective I will complete that objective.
Thank you for the advice, but the rules of this game will prevailed and that what I really learning in our exchanges.
As for my apparent busy contributions, I would appreciate if you guys extend more patience and less patronizing. Thinking fast comes naturally to me and instead of the thinking like an automated editor. I find the disadvantage and difference meaningless here for this a challenge of creativeness and practice do makes perfect. Also I don't see why I should accept a handicap position because of this. So in maintaining the challenge of the round in the preferred formatted you suggested this should work. ( cards too easy exile here 'cmon get creative.)

Underground Lizards (R/W)
Creature- Lizard Lord
All lizards in play are 0/1, unblockable and indestructible with shroud.
(R/W): Put a red/white 0/1 Lizard creature token into play .
Pay W and sacrifice a creature you control in play: Exile target card on the stack.
Pay R while distributing combat damages and sacrificed a creature you control: All attacking and blocking lizard type creatures gains +1/0 until combat ends.
(when both above sacrificing abilities is on the same stack: you may do both again for no cost.)
0/1
Pressingchess

Arkural Commando for the total of six casting cost does this cost enough justice and strong at it but can it end the game after summoning sickness for the six cost? This the point and Tis a 6

Desert Undercurrents

Oops, That time I knew I should have. I better late than...

Artifacts decks come in colors now and with creature types also can 0/4 an approvement? Does a defender ability places restrictions on the artifacts that are favor with artifacts or would this prove positive and a complication for the opponent defenses with the; "Now there's more complications?" Tis a 7

Quote from Megiddo

PRESSINGCHESS: READ THE RULES FOR THIS GAME PLEASE

Wow that card looks to be a mess. Let me see...
Ancient's Knowledge UR
Enchantment
Ancient's Knowledge can't be countered.
Ancient's Knowledge can't be the target of activated abilities from a permanent source.
Permanents you control have "T: This permanent deals 2 damage to target creature or player. This permanent doesn't untap during your untap step." and "You may pay 2 during your upkeep to untap this permanent."

Ok. That's a readable card.

Wow that card looks to be a mess. Your general concept is a permanent Flame Fusillade, it seems. This card costs half as much as Flame Fusillade. It also deals twice as much damage as Flame Fusillade.
...
The untapping restriction is moot. You play this card? you win. End of story. I give it a 5/10 because you actually need 10 permanents to kill somebody with this.

"How about a blue creature producing burn with non-blue triggered ability with an X effect triggered by a target you don't control."

Oh boy.

Hydrostatic Weird 2U
Creature - Weird
Whenever an opponent plays a red spell, you may pay R. If you do, Hydrostatic Weird deals X damage to target creature, where X is the converted mana cost of that spell.
1/1

Next challenge: Make a card that puts Psychic Drain to shame.

Pardon me and thanks for your assistance, its appreciated kind sir, but there's a couple of details you miss or simply misunderstood.

Ancient's Knowledge UR
Enchantment
Ancient's Knowledge can't be countered.
Ancient's Knowledge can't be the target of activated abilities from a permanent source.
Every permanent you control has "T: Deal 2 damages to target creature or player and this permanent doesn't untap during your untap step while an Ancient Knowledge is in play otherwise you must pay 2 to untap it."
