    Varilax, the Omniform
    3(U/B)(U/B)
    Legendary Creature - Shapeshifter (4/3)
    Transmute 1UU; transfigure 1BB
    Blue cards in your hand have transmute 2UU.
    Other black creatures you control have transfigure 2BB.
    Varilax does make up its mind. But not until it makes up the rest of its body.

    So by virtue of Counterburn existing, all Ornithopters and Pacts are automatically countered?

    I had one that's similar to Temporal Reflux:

    Longing Memory
    UU
    Enchantment
    UU: Counter target spell. Activate this ability only any time you could cast an interrupt. (You could cast interrupts between August 1993 and April 1999.)

    That's still not a Lhurgoyf, it's just a Master of Etherium.

    Earthspitter Hellion
    4RR
    Creature - Hellion (*/*)
    Trample, haste
    You may sacrifice two Mountains rather than pay Earthspitter Hellion's mana cost.
    Earthspitter Hellion's power and toughness are each equal to the number of Mountains you control.

    And WU, in turn, is just a two-color lair.

    When I made this card, it cost 7W.

    Of course, it also had affinity for blocking creatures.

    Pretty sure Magic has a different name for the concept.

    And since this wipes lands, you can't pay to roll more than once each turn, so 2/3 of turns just consist of "draw a card", and half the ones that don't still aren't going to be very interesting.

    How many instants and sorceries are just blank on an empty board anyway?

    Legacy Retriever
    2WW
    Creature - Human Wizard (2/4)
    If an opponent controls three or more artifacts, you may cast Legacy Retriever without paying its mana cost.
    Lifelink, protection from artifacts
    WW, Sacrifice Legacy Retriever: Gain control of target artifact. (This effect lasts indefinitely.)

    Resonating Shell
    {}
    Enchantment
    Resonating Shell is white.
    Morph 2WW
    All creatures lose all abilities and are 2/2.
    As the creature’s true form emerged into reality, the forces halted their advance and were left humiliated by what just happened. This one, it appeared, was different.

    Jeska, Mending Medium
    3BR
    Creature Planeswalker - Jeska (0/0) (4)
    Jeska, Mending Medium gets +1/+1 for each loyalty counter on it.
    Damage dealt to Jeska isn't marked on it.
    [+0]: Jeska deals 1 damage to target creature. Then put loyalty counters on Jeska equal to the damage dealt to that creature this turn.
    [-7]: Untap all other creatures and gain control of them until end of turn. They gain haste until end of turn.

    I stick loyalty on the type line, just as I stick power and toughness on the type line when I submit creatures. Heck, so does Gatherer in standard listing format. In any case, it's there and it's 3.

    I voted for Ikeda today, even though I assume that card is intended to allow the player to play a land card if you chose that (it's written with "cast" and you can't cast land cards, so as written you can swipe a land and force a 4-stick).

    Serra, Queen of Light
    1WW
    Planeswalker - Serra (3)
    [+1]: Put a basic Plains land token onto the battlefield.
    [-0]: Until end of turn, target creature becomes a 4/4 Angel and gains flying and vigilance.
    [-7]: Exile all creatures. For the rest of the game, you may play cards exiled this way and you may spend white mana as though it were mana of any color.

    Remorse seems way too swingy. Permanent, instant-speed control of potentially multiple creatures, without having to defend an Aura, for one over Persuasion?

    Submission: "Tap target creature. Its controller chooses one - he or she loses life equal to its converted mana cost, or you gain control of that creature."

    Piqued Fires deals 5 damage to target artifact, enchantment, or land.

    Welcome to the DCC!
    DCC Discussion thread. Take your questions/comments here.


    How does this card-making game work? It's simple! Whenever your card receives a vote in the day's poll, you receive 1 point for the month. If your card ends up with the most votes for that day, you will receive 2 additional points for the month. In the event of a tie, each person who tied receives 1 additional point. At the end of each month, the person with the most points on the scoreboard wins that month, then the scoreboard is cleared for the next month. You can play in as many or as few days as you want in any month.

    Here are the rules for entering:
    1. Each day you may post any card you want. On the next day all of the posted cards will be put into a poll as long as you voted. If you post more than one card in a DCC thread, only the first card you post will be taken.
    2. Your card will not be added to the next day's poll unless you also vote in the current poll for that day (or put your vote in your post). If you vote for yourself, it will not count and your card will not be put in the next day's poll. (You only receive one warning if you fail to vote [the asterisk next to your username]; thereafter, your card will not be added if you miss voting.)
    3. If you wish to post a render, please use the hyperlink option when posting your card and make the card-name the image link. Renders are usually large enough to clog up the list, so submit a text-formed card and (optionally) a link in the name to the render.
    4. This thread is just for your card submission. Take your questions/comments to our discussion thread.
    5. Anyone can post the new thread for the day.

    Quote from Memnarch
    Grassland Symbiote GW
    Creature - Insect Druid (U)
    Grassland Symbiote has reach as long as you control a Forest. (It can block creatures with flying.)
    Grassland Symbiote has absorb 1 as long as you control a Plains. (Whenever a source would deal damage to it, prevent 1 of that damage.)
    It owes its life to the lands, so why should it not fight to preserve them?

    Flying, haste.
    Whenever a creature dealt damage by Drinker of Disaster this turn is put into a graveyard, put a +1/+1 counter on Drinker of Disaster.
    1BRR: Drinker of Disaster deals 2 damage to each creature without flying.

    You may draw a card. If you do, put that drawing into your hand and treat it as the card it represents for the rest of the game.
    (Only copies of real cards may be drawn, and all drawings must be titled.)
    Used card drawings may be mailed to the WotC legal department in order to receive complementary lawsuits.

    Quote from Jimmy Groove
    Guardian of Honor WW
    Creature - Spirit Soldier
    At the beginning of each player's upkeep, that player names up to two cards. Until the beginning of his next upkeep, whenever he or she plays a card not named, he or she sacrifices a permanent.
    To honor one's promises is the highest form of virtue; there is nothing lower than an oathbreaker.

    When Canopy Owl enters the battlefield, if U was spent to cast Canopy Owl, look at the top four cards of your library, then put them back in any order.

    Bridgetopple 2GG
    Sorcery
    Hideaway (As you cast this spell, look at the top four cards of your library, exile one face down, then put the rest on the bottom of your library.)
    Destroy target tapped land.
    If that land could produce G, you may play the exiled card without paying its mana cost.
    If you build your bridge on rock, it will stand. If you build your bridge on moss, it will sink and smell badly.


    Quote from KoolKoal
    Massive Melee 1WRR
    Enchantment (R)
    Creatures have vigilance.
    All creatures must attack or block if able.
    Whenever a creature deals combat damage to a player, that creature's controller may have it deal damage equal to its power to target creature.


    Quote from Maokun
    Noxious Thoughts XUB
    Sorcery
    As an additional cost to play Noxious Thoughts put the X cards from the top of your library into your graveyard.
    Draw a card for each blue card put into a graveyard to pay for Noxious Thoughts's cost, then target player loses X life and you gain X life where X is the number of black cards put into a graveyard to pay for Noxious Thoughts's cost.
