Appreciated! Continue on...

If I have a mechanic/ability I'm working on, should I get help here or on another thread, or start my own...? I know this is meant for cards...

I was trying to avoid bumping it's defense up, keeping it somewhat killable. What about dropping it to 1/1, and making them +1/+1 counters...? And the more I think about it, I really think it's too much to have protection from 2cmc and below, and rather just 1cmc and below. But then I feel like if i...

I think that's too much... for one, there are no 1cc creatures with 2 power and lifelink, so that's kinda crossing a line already drawn in the sand. But then adding bestow, partner, and a sacrifice protection mechanic, I mean... it can't be 1cc and do all that too. Even 2cc would seem cheap. But rea...

King of the Hill
Human Noble (M)
Protection from converted mana cost 1
When another card named King of the Hill enters the battlefield, put this card into its owner's graveyard
2/1

My first rendition was W, but I kinda like making it ...

XXUB giddiyup....

Hydra Pyromancer X{rp}{rp}{rp} Legendary Hydra Wizard (M) Hydra Pyromancer enters the battlefield with a number of +1/+1 counters equal to the total casting cost paid. Hydra Pyromancer enters the battlefield with X swap counters. [sym=t]: discard up to X cards, then draw that many cards, where X is ...

I like what you're doing with Sky-Eye, Everlearning Essence on pretty much every level, and my knee-jerk reaction was that it was too powerful, but the more I digest it the more it seems it's costs are appropriate, pending rarity (probably mythic). It might need a limit of one +1/+1 counter, looking...

"Counter the third spell to resolve" doesn't really make sense. If it's resolving, it's a bit late to start countering it, isn't it? I think you're looking for: "Whenever the third spell is cast each turn, counter it unless its controller pays [sym=2]." I think you're right. I t...

Much appreciated on the feedback! The shroud concept makes sense as a better way to go, along with the UU cost. Also changing the name, since it's shifting from counter magic to shroud/protection magic. Jace's Guile UU Instant (U) Target permanent gains shroud until end of turn. Draw a card. Regardi...

I appreciate the suggestions! On the cost, since this is an upgrade over (or alternative to) Swan Song, I felt if it was going to be cast for u it should have a viable drawback, and adding the cantrip would make it too much value for the casting cost. Although I could see adding a card draw if this ...

So I just came up with this one to kind of fill a need in a deck. Let me know what you think... Jace's Migraine 2U Instant (R) Counter target spell that targets you, or a spell or permanent you control. You may pay 1 life for each 1 of the casting cost. "The migraine grew so bad that it pushed ...

Lightning Jaguar 2RGW (Art: a three-headed nekoru, electricity spilling from its mouths) Creature — Cat Dragon Lifelink, haste Whenever Lightning Jaguar attacks, it deals 2 damage to each of up to two targets. 3/3 I like it! I get the urge to keep green, but I'm not sure it's necessary either. Whil...

And if that's not enough, I could add "If a creature dies this way, Volcanic Plume deals 2 damage to you instead." but I'd prefer not to, if it's otherwise within the realm of acceptible... The "if...instead" here implies a replacement effect. Replacement effects 101: they look ...

The intention for this card was to explore the design space of splicing onto a permanent. Yes, it could be done without splicing. With the new usage of tokens for added abilities, maybe you could do something similar, adding a token granting the spliced spell's ability to the creature? Kinda like c...

And for my own records more than anything, here's my updated Bloodmark Sire (I like the name change). Bloodmark Sire 3BB Creature — Vampire Knight (R) Haste B, T : Put a blood counter on target creature an opponent controls. Tap it. Put a +1/+1 counter on Bloodmark Vampire. 2B, T : Gain control of t...

Mistward Chant 1W Enchantment (U) When this permanent enters the battlefield, exile another target nonland permanent. Return it to the battlefield under its owner's control at the beginning of the next end step. Splice onto creature spell 1W (As you cast a creature spell, you may reveal this card f...

Ha! Now I feel like I have to submit an updated version of the land concept... so why not... this is the "dumbed down" version, adding ETB-tapped, investigate, and the Legendary type. But I'm not sure if this is uncommon or rare territory, because it doesn't feel mythic to me. Which begs t...

I would say that Bloodvaults of Razaketh is too powerful. It ramps too fast, and the cost of life isn't likely enough to outweigh the sheer benefit of almost doubling your total mana from land each turn (assuming you can drop a land each turn). If I were to make any changes, the drawback or penalty ...

Thinking out loud... the cost of one mana for one damage isn't anything crazy in red, with tons of X cost burn spells, and firebreathing, etc. So why is it so taboo for a land to both tap for one red or tap for one damage to a creature or any target? I mean the closest cards are Keldon Megaliths , B...

Quickly, thanks for the great feedback! Much appreciated! I'll update it on here when I have a few extra minutes. Thanks!

So this is a damn clever way to use splice but I really don't think the name fits - blink, even with a delayed return, doesn't say "jail" to me. Banisher Priest does. Could this card have flash? How about The Cleric's Wink...? I also like the idea of A Wizard's Wink better, since this can...

Jailer's Chant 1W Enchantment When this permanent enters the battlefield, exile another target nonland permanent. Return it to the battlefield under its owner's control at end of turn. Splice onto creature 1W (As you cast a creature spell, you may reveal this card from your hand and pay its splice ...

So I'm new to posting in the CCC section, nonetheless posting much on Nexus or before in Salvation in general, so I'm doing my best with critiquing... but let me know where I can improve. Similarly, I'm new to posting card concepts, but I probably have over 200 card concepts jotted down in various n...

This is a common problem on most (all?) MTG card database search engines, that they never let you search cards for the Tap symbol, which is unfortunate since half the game is based on tapping cards. Please be different, unique, and awesome, and make that symbol searchable in the card database! Start...
