'Survivor- At the beginning of each end step if ~ was dealt damage this turn....' So it's similar to enrage so it could be one of the new abilities if we return to Ixalan. It's harder to trigger then enrage so I think it should have stronger triggers. Alternatively it could be separate from Ixalan a...

Hi, I'm looking for a tool or article to help with word count. I tried mtg design but it won't let me change the text to 7.5 to 9 points which is what mtgwiki says is the standard. Actually I can't get it to move from 35 points on mtg design no matter the word count so maybe i'm doing something wron...

Quality 2.99/3 - No problems here. However, I've seen your thread asking for help with the templating, which you received. You basically had your card pre-judged and could still edit. That wasn't too sportsmanlike. That's why I'm taking 0.01 off here. Everyone's seen it- I get help in every MCC wit...

Found time to make the changes and here's what I got: Mercenary's Respite [sym=3][sym=u][sym=r] Enchantment (R) Whenever a creature you control deals combat damage to a player, you may gain control of target land they control until end of turn. Untap that land. Whenever you tap a land you control bu...

Untap that land. Whenever you tap a land you control but don't own, up to one target creature you control ex...

Really interesting effect. :) I've revised the templating in these quotes. Amazing thank you! I was surprised to see it's completely unexplored space but it could be because wizards considers it poor, awkward or uninteresting design atm or it could just be the design space is hard to manage since t...

Just need templating input for the MCC Mercenary's Respite [sym=3][sym=u][sym=r] Enchantment Whenever a creature you control deals combat damage to a player, you may gain control of target land that player controls until end of turn, untap that land.

You may choose new targets for the copy. At the beginning of each upkeep, exile the top card of your l...

Sorry if I wasn't clear enough: I don't mean there's anything wrong with copying the lore -- that's totally standard practice and is entirely acceptable. What I was critiquing is that you (almost) copied the actual words that someone else wrote and used them on your own card. It would have been tot...

I looked up Oona to check on where her character was left, and I found that the last line of the MTG Wiki entry about her was too similar to your flavor text to be coincidence. Obviously fine to take inspiration from things like this, since it's nearly impossible to keep track of all the various ma...

Oona, Faerie Manipulator [sym=1][sym=ub][sym=ub][sym=ub][sym=ub] Legendary Creature- Faerie Spirit (M) Flying At the beginning of your end step, if a player was dealt combat damage by three or more Faeries this turn, scry 3.

Based on fighting chance it should be "At the beggining of your end step, for each creature you control with a servitude counter, flip a coin. If you lose the flip, exile that creature." Your card functions fundamentally different from Kazuul, your land can't block because it isn't in pla...

Because you are writing rules text rather than reminder text you have to be more explicit and use "If it would leave the battlefield, exile it instead of putting it anywhere else." Why is this triggering in the declare blockers step? It seems like a lot of hassle just to make it so you ca...

Tempt The Dead [sym=3][sym=b][sym=b] Enchantment (M) At the beginning of your upkeep choose a creature card from your graveyard and return it to the battlefield with a servitude counter on it. That creature gains haste, exile it if would leave play. At the beginning of your end step flip a coin for...

Hi I haven't played since I was eskimo on mtgsalvation about 6 years or more. Can anyone point me to an article about formatting custom cards? I seem to be losing points on that. First, welcome back! I do remember your Salvation username. Please check out this link (same as the one in my signature)...

Thanks that's a huge help. I wasn't aware of grammer changes as I haven't entered the competitions for years (last time was mtgsalvation). Cheers.
