[sym=T]: Add one mana of any color to your mana pool. Spend that mana only on blue costs. [sym=1]: Change the text of Isle of Mind by replacing all instances of one color word with a other. Isle of Mind is a reference to Sleight of Mind by the way, not just something I came up with. Any feedback? W...

Rolling Lightning XXRRR Sorcery (M) Roll X six-sided die, then Rolling Lightning deals damage equal to the total of the result distributed among up to X target creatures or planeswalkers you don't control.

Wither (This deals damage to creatures in the form of -1/-1 counters.)

Shockwave Elemental 1RRR Creature — Elemental Trample, haste Whenever Shockwave Elemental deals combat damage to a player, it deals that much damage to each creature that player controls. At the beginning of the end step, sacrifice Shockwave Elemental. Always leaves a good first impression. 5/1 ---...

I desperately want to keep them as creatures, just because then the phrase 'tap target library' is a relevant thing(ish). If it becomes untenable I'll see what workarounds I can come up with that aren't horrifically unwieldy, and if it's still not working I'll either go with the version spacemonaut...

I think there's a piece missing with Grimoire: I don't actually have a good reason to draw from one! Given they're both unknown piles I might as well draw from my library. The only serious difference would be that a creature I control shrinks a bit or doesn't, and I'd rather it doesn't. If I did kno...

The reason I bring those up is that the first two appear in costs — I would absolutely write "R, T" inside a mana tag, so I would absolutely include T (and Q) inside the mana tool. P meanwhile doesn't appear in costs but references mana so it seemed appropriate to bring along for the ride....

Is Mimic a triggered ability or an additional cost? It uses "when" which sounds like a triggered ability; additional costs use "as you cast this spell". (It ought to be additional. That's neatest. If it's triggered then Infectious Curse would work quite surprisingly as written: y...

In case it helps, I think you might be reading it like this — Non-Wall creatures the active player controls attack this turn if able. At the beginning of the next end step, destroy [those non-wall creatures that could have attacked] that didn't attack this turn. Activate this ability only during an ...

The mana tool looks great. However it is missing the following three symbols:

{T} {Q} {P}

(The last one being the nonspecific Phyrexian symbol as seen in the rules text of Rage Extractor.)

How would goad be organized by the Primary, Secondary, Tertiary convention? Seems like it would go under the color pie for forced attack. Its color usage and frequency fits perfectly. Marisi gets to goad on account of being red. Colorless gets to do most things, just usually not at the same rates a...

Looks like I missed the cutoff for Goblins by minutes, but I'll post it anyway. :P Landscape Smuggler 3R Creature — Goblin (R) Whenever Landscape Smuggler deals combat damage to a player, you may exert it. When you do, exchange control of target Mountain you control and target land an opponent contr...

I think skipping the reminder text about card types will be OK. Current reprints of Tarmogoyf don't have a reminder text about the card types, probably because all these new card types got added which people will never see in most variants. We've only seen card types defined in reminder text of card...

Bloodbond Rite is really nice. Black is secondary in "can't be blocked/is unblockable" Fully agree, it just usually doesn't get to do "can't be blocked" on its own unconditionally and without drawback riders—that's blue's domain. I'm not counting "didn't get a tribute" ...

You've run into a classic mistake: you've got a ton of cool effects, and you put them all into one card when they should be on multiple different more focused cards. https://i.imgur.com/jWLrZPI.jpg?1 The rules text with no reminder text doesn't fit into the frame at the game's minimum font size. We'...

It would be on color (in either color) to give Venerable Ghast flying if tribute wasn't paid. Straight up "can't be blocked" isn't really a black effect like you seem to be describing; it's blue. Re: Desolate Anarchist — seeing Arrows of Justice I realise the hybrid design there is fine. T...

Manifested non-creature cards can't be turned face up. If you try then the game acts like it never happened: 701.33f If a manifested permanent that's represented by an instant or sorcery card would turn face up, its controller reveals it and leaves it face down. Abilities that trigger whenever a per...

Memory issues would be managed like this: Whenever you tap ~ for mana, put a serenity counter on it. If you would begin your combat phase while ~ has a serenity counter on it, instead remove a serenity counter from it and skip that combat phase. If you have one of these that you've tapped for mana s...

Enchantment (R)
At the beginning of each end step, for each 1 life you have lost this turn, create a 1/1 black Eye creature token with flying. (Damage causes loss of life.)


IIW: Colored artifacts. (Your card must have a colored mana symbol in its mana cost.)

Subject16 is just lucky we don't have :mob:

If you still want to be able to have Morph in the format, consider this variant on that same emblem: Face-down cards you control with awaken counters on them are lands with " T : Add one mana of any color." You may play cards from your hand face-down with an awaken counter on them as if th...

2/2

So it's a Segovian Elephant then.

That one is shiny, but seems like a break on account of giving burn to mono black. R&D is careful not to do that because red having burn and black not is one of the ways the two colours get differentiated at a point they strongly overlap (creature removal). Given I can't use the activated abilit...
