[Stapler]

Pachydermonium 2RGW
Enchantment (R)
Elephant creatures you control have trample, lifelink and haste.
At the beginning of combat on your turn, you may put a creature card from your hand onto the battlefield. If you do, that creature becomes an Elephant with base power and toughness 3/3. Sacrifice that creature at the beginning of your next end step.

IIW: Yetis.

[void_nothing]

Sure, I'll swing at that pitch too.

Prophetic Agent 1URR
Creature - Elemental Rogue (R)
Trample, haste
Whenever Prophetic Agent deals combat damage to a player, look at that many cards from the top of your library. Put one of those cards into your hand and the rest on the bottom of your library in any order.
At the beginning of the end step, sacrifice Prophetic Agent.

Sky Lightning 1URR
Creature - Elemental
Flying, Trample, Haste
At the beginning of the end step, sacrifice Sky Lightning.
6/1

Figured I'd keep it simple and see if there were any other keywords that could be applied like Spark Trooper. Flying seemed like the only reasonable one, especially if you're not looking to mix Deathtouch and Trample.

IIW: Rabbits

Or if you're going the keyword route:

Impervious Bolide 1RRG
Creature - Elemental Warrior (R)
This spell can't be countered.
Hexproof, trample, indestructible, haste
At the beginning of the end step, sacrifice Impervious Bolide.

IIW: Reflections

[Ulka]

I don't get this card. Is it supposed to be a riff on Fred Jones, from Scooby Doo? Not exactly a superhero thing, but oh well. And the card itself is odd, and doesn't explain to me why I'd want it.

It was a card inspired by the Host of the Video you linked's scarf/ascot.



Thranian Thunder Hooves 1WRR
Creature - Human Knight (M)
Haste, Flanking, Trample
When Thranian Thunder Hooves attacks, you may put a legendary creature card from your hand onto the battlefield tapped and attacking. Thranian Thunder Hooves Bands with it until another legendary creature is put into play this way.

You are fine Chetoos. It was an odd card.

[spacemonaut]

Wondering what a non-red non-hasty ball lightning might look like:

Gust of Inspiration 1WU
Creature — Elemental Knight
First strike, trample
Whenever Gust of Inspiration deals combat damage to an opponent, you gain that much life and draw that many cards, then sacrifice Gust of Inspiration.
Eternalize 4WU (4WU, Exile this card from your graveyard: Create a token that's a copy of it, except it's a 4/4 black Zombie Elemental Knight with no mana cost. Eternalize only as a sorcery.)

At the beginning of the end step, if Sparkster Cavalry dealt combat damage to a player, you may sacrifice it. If you do, choose one-
-Until your next turn, prevent all combat damage dealt by creatures that player controls.
-You may put a historic permanent card from your hand onto the battlefield.

Stallions of the elite Sparkster Cavalry are very particular about their riders, choosing only those composed of pure electricity, even if only for a second.

Here's the card that would have instantly won:

Creature- Human Knight (C)
Trample
4/4

We have here our panel of five judges. Each gets up to two votes for a possible out of ten. Our Judges:

.
Ball Lightning cares only about crushing foes. A total Spike. RR
Spark Trooper judges based on style. An elegant solution to a complex problem.
the animated Thran Temporal Gateway wants to see long term plans come to fruition. Classic Johnny.
The Moorish Cavalry represents the casual crowd. They don't like overly complex cards, and they tend to be Timmies.
the animated Horn of Deafening wants to play fair, and votes for conservatively costed cards.
And it's possible I may award a bonus point.

I'm not gonna tally up the results until the end, so I won't know what the results are.

Blightning Trooper -- 1RRB
Creature - Elemental Soldier
Trample, haste
When Blightning Trooper deals combat damage to a player, that player discards a card.
At the beginning of your end step, sacrifice Blightning Trooper.
6/1


IIW: Auras for Auras

Lightning Skelemental laughs at your well reasoned balance before being summarily sacrificed. I think your card is probably a bit better balanced, but it is pretty conservative, and it would definitely have been a jank rare even in a world without Skelemental.
Judges:

Pachydermonium 2RGW
Enchantment (R)
Elephant creatures you control have trample, lifelink and haste.
At the beginning of combat on your turn, you may put a creature card from your hand onto the battlefield. If you do, that creature becomes an Elephant with base power and toughness 3/3. Sacrifice that creature at the beginning of your next end step.

IIW: Yetis.

Nice. I love that you successfully merged all three. I'll give you a bonus point for that. At 2RGW, this is probably gonna just be jank. If you're dropping Griselbrand, it's doesn't matter that it's a 3/3, or that it will die, but there are much more efficient ways to win with the Griselbrands of the world. Weird card, but cool.

Yep, this is every bit the blue Spark Trooper. There's really nothing to count off for. But Spark Trooper is only one of the judges.
Judges:

Sky Lightning 1URR
Creature - Elemental
Flying, Trample, Haste
At the beginning of the end step, sacrifice Sky Lightning.
6/1

IIW: Rabbits

Again, simple and elegant, but this time well overcosted. I think RRU would suffice, and could still be called a take on both Ball Lightning and Spark Trooper.
Judges:

Impervious Bolide 1RRG
Creature - Elemental Warrior (R)
This spell can't be countered.
Hexproof, trample, indestructible, haste
At the beginning of the end step, sacrifice Impervious Bolide.
6/1

IIW: Reflections

It's amazing, you've managed to make a card for which indestructible does essentially nothing. Not only do you sacrifice it anyway, but hexproof already took care of those pesky targeted removal spells. And mass removal spells are almost always sorcery speed. Take that, Fire Ants! But anyway, this card does REALLY insist on itself. It's unfun and uninteractive, but it's a certain kind of good.
Judges:

Thranian Thunder Hooves 1WRR
Creature - Human Knight (M)
Haste, Flanking, Trample
When Thranian Thunder Hooves attacks, you may put a legendary creature card from your hand onto the battlefield tapped and attacking. Thranian Thunder Hooves Bands with it until another legendary creature is put into play this way.
3/3

IIW:Sneak Attack Inspired cards

Oh wow, you've got it all and flanking to boot. Bands with it until (trigger)? Love it. Definitely getting a bonus point. This is potentially in the danger zone of being too good. Soft casting any legendary creature on attack with haste. Jeepers. The restrictive mana cost does keep it reigned in a bit though.
Judges:

6/1

Iiw: it's 2 o'clock in the morning

Alright, we've got another mash up. This one really blurs the cards together where you can't tell where one begins and another ends. This card is cool, but it's got jank rare written all over it. 5 mana is a lot to pay for a ball lightning effect, and you're not getting a power boost here.
Judges:

Gust of Inspiration 1WU
Creature — Elemental Knight
First strike, trample
Whenever Gust of Inspiration deals combat damage to an opponent, you gain that much life and draw that many cards, then sacrifice Gust of Inspiration.
Eternalize 4WU (4WU, Exile this card from your graveyard: Create a token that's a copy of it, except it's a 4/4 black Zombie Elemental Knight with no mana cost. Eternalize only as a sorcery.)
2/2


IIW: The forge

I really dig it. It's got a different vibe from the rest of the cards. I always thought eternalize was a really unusual mechanic that had some interesting untapped potential.
Judges:

20/1

IIW: Make a card based on the following randoms: Atog, Atogatog, Psychatog, or Atog.

I feel like you're implying that my randoms aren't random. I didn't ask for this wad of Ball Lightnings.

The card has the potential to be kinda cool as a Tidal Wave variant, but it ends up just being a Thud combo card. But I do love the name, and I get that it's a troll entry.

IIW: The profession you hate the most as a card in Ravnica.

By Gideon's ghost, I'd love to love this card, but the treasure ability is just too much on an untapped land. I get that you're thinking of it is filtering with upside, but it's a lot more than that. I love the party ability on a land because it's never really overpowered. There aren't all that many overpowered creatures of those types out there. You get extra R points because Ball Lightning likes broken cards.
