Fill in the Reminder Text

[RattingRots]

Not sure if a game like this has been tried, but basically the idea is that the preceding post should have a card design containing a keyword ability with unknown reminder text, so you have to fill in the text with what you think the keyword ability should do to make the card work. Then to continue the cycle, come up with a card with it's own unknown keyword ability.


Scale Up XGG
Instant (U)
Target creature gets +X/+X until end of turn.
Miser (Text goes here)

[void_nothing]

I don't think this exact concept has been done before!

Miser (If X is 1 or less, return this spell card to its owner's hand as it resolves.)

Sea-Dwarf Scoundrels 3R
Creature - Dwarf Pirate
U: Sea-Dwarf Scoundrels gets +1/-1 until end of turn.
Beachhead
2/4

Beachhead (Whenever this creature deals combat damage to an opponent, create a 1/1 black Pirate creature token)


Quick Diversion 2ur
Enchantment (U)
Whenever a non-token creature enters the battlefield under your control, it gains haste and divert (....) until end of turn.

[FoilSquared]

Divert (When this creature enters the battlefield, you may tap this creature to untap another creature you control and give it haste.)

Dire Fleet Construct
Creature - Pirate Construct
When Dire Fleet Construct enters the battlefield, you may fragmentize...
1/1

[RattingRots]

Divert would have some problems with Quick Diversion based on the rules. Since it would gain Divert due to the ETB effect, it would therefore already have passed it's ETB trigger and never trigger the Divert effect.

Fragmentize (Sacrifice an artifact and create two 1/1 colorless Shard artifact creature tokens.)

Chainer's Initiate 1BB
Creature - Human Minion (R)
Legacy 1 (...)

Obstreperous Bandwagon 2
Artifact - Vehicle
Crew 2
Noisy (these words explain noisy)
4/4

[RattingRots]

Noisy (This vehicle may only be crewed by exactly one creature)

Outmaneuver 2U
Instant (C)
Unwind (...)
Return target nonland permanent to its owner's hand.

[dyd]

Unwind (As you cast an instant or sorcery spell, you may exile this card from your graveyard and pay its mana cost. If you do, add its effects to that spell)

( = splice + jump-start )


Daffodil Duo 3g
Creature - Dryad Treefolk
When ~ enters the battlefield, choose one of its creature types. Celebrate all creatures of that type (what does that mean?).
4/4

2GU
Creature - Salamander Wizard
4/4
Metamorph GU (???)

[dyd]

Metamorph GU (You may cast this card face down as a 2/2 creature for 3. When it attacks and it's not blocked, you may pay gu, reveal it and return it to its owner's hand. If you do, put a card from your hand onto the battlefield face down, tapped and attacking)

(TL;DR : morph + inverted ninjutsu)

Gearcranker Daredevil 3b
Creature - Aetherborn Pilot Artificer
Whenever ~ crews a Vehicle, that Vehicle gains reckless until end of turn. (Reminder text for reckless)
