Legendary Creature - Zombie Artificer
Vigilance, Menace, Shroud
When Urza, Grand Artifice Overlord enters the battlefield, each player may detain all their creatures. If they do, create three treasure and gain cotnrol of target land they control. If they don't, destroy up to 3 lands they control and create six 2/2 Zombie soldier tokens.

3/7

IIW: Draft Matters Cards

AH URZA, SHOWING YOUR TRUE COLORS. PLAYING THE LONG GAME BY HAVING YOUR HEAD CUT OFF SO YOU CAN ATTACH IT TO CYBERNETIC SPIDER LEGS. CLASSIC MOVE. I SEE SOMEONE HAS BEEN WATCHING TOY STORY. THEY SAY SUCCESS IS THE BEST REVENGE. BUT WHOEVER SAID THAT HAS CLEARLY NEVER MET ZOMBIES. ZOMBIES ARE THE BEST REVENGE.

[Juancu]

Quantum Sai 1W
Sorcery (C)
Put a Quantum [ Lifelink \ +1/+1 ] counter on a creature you control. Draw a card. (A counter with two states has no effect. As a creature would become blocked or unblocked, its controller chooses a state for its counters until end of turn.)

I use "would" because a Quantum flying (or menace) counter could cause a block to become invalid (this card could as well, if a creature couldn't block creatures with power 3+ or something like that.) Since blocks were already declared, a creature that became unable to block this way can't go towards another block.

[Flatline]

Edit: As a bizarre coincidence, I just noticed that this is my 445th post on MTGN. I based my card on a character(?) from the movie Neo Tokyo, which I had never heard of before posting this. I guess it would have been even more bizarre if this was my 443rd post, since 444-1 is 443, but still.

444-1 4
Artifact Creature — Assembly Worker (R)
444-1 attacks each turn if able.
444-1 can't be blocked.
Whenever 444-1 deals damage to an opponent, it deals that much damage to you.
"Our automated workers are designed to finish the task at hand, no matter the cost."
4/4

IIW: Band names as black-bordered card names. (No local bands. Your band should at least have a Wikipedia page.)

[Juancu]

151 kamikomon UGR
Sorcery (Alchemy)
Shuffle random creature cards with color identity within blue, green and red, into your library, until there's at least 151 creature cards.
You get an emblem with "At the beginning of your upkeep, exile a random common creature card from your library. You may cast cards exiled this way this turn. If you have cast three or more creatures of a certain rarity this way, also exile a card of the next higher rarity."


Edit: in an even bizarrer coincidence not trying to one-up Flatline, I based this card on the song "Hyakugojyuuichi" (151 in Japanese), the original ending theme of the Pokemon anime.

[lookingupanddown]

The Ghost 3
Legendary Artifact
Creatures you control can't block.
You can't cast spells on other players' turns.
At the beginning of combat on your turn, you may pay 1W. If you do, you choose which creatures block this combat and how those creatures block.
(2/u): Look at target player's hand.

IIW: a moment of desperation

[Cythare]

Pupil of Ken-Sama 2W
Creature — Human Samurai Clown (R)
When Pupil of Ken-Sama enters the battlefield, study the blade. (Search your library for an Equipment or Vehicle card, reveal it, put it into your hand, then shuffle.)
Whenever Pupil of Ken-Sama becomes blocked, if it's modified, it gets +2/+2 until end of turn.
2/2

Encoded Firewall 1

Hypersonic Train 3
Artifact- Vehicle (U)
Dash 2
Crew 1
When Hypersonic Train enters the battlefield, it becomes a creature and gains haste until end of turn.
3/3

IIW: What if they decided to return to Ulgrotha instead of ever going to Innistrad? (https://mtg.fandom.com/wiki/Ulgrotha)

Hey, that's pretty cool. Like Fleetwheel Cruiser but with Dash potential if you can't crew it. I like the play patterns, though it probably should have had haste like Cruiser (since it always grants it to itself, no?)

Tetsuo, giant monster 3GBB
(Consuming Kami)
Creature - Spirit Mutant Horror
When this creature enters the battlefield, each other creature gets -2/-2
Whenever another creature dies, put a +1/+1 counter on this creature.
Menace
6/6

Note: I have not seen Akira, but it has Neo tokyo in it.

IIW: Draft a card from this card's spellbook.

I also haven't seen Akira, haha... This guy reminds me of Massacre Wurm, but less of a finisher. Doesn't particularly excite.

Information Expert 1UU
Creature - Human Wizard (U)
When Information Expert enters the battlefield, download three cards (draw those cards, but place them on the table with a Virtual counter on them. A card with Virtual stays revealed and can't be played.)
1U, Discard a card: Information Expert can't be blocked this turn.
2/2

IIW: Channel

So virtual cards are basically there for hand size and to be discarded? Seems kind of... narrow. Not sure I like it.

Hotwire (Uncommon)
R
Sorcery
Gain control of target Vehicle until end of turn. Untap that Vehicle. It becomes an artifact creature and gains haste until end of turn.
Draw a card.

IIW: a monocolored card with two abilities never before seen together on a monocolored card

Flavourful but hella narrow. Might play better as a generic artifact steal that activates Vehicles?

AKIRA 7
Legendary Creature [no type] {MR}
When you cast AKIRA, destroy all creatures.
Whenever AKIRA would die, exile it instead. If five or more artifacts were put into graveyards from the battlefield this turn, you may cast AKIRA from exile.
You may mutate human creatures you control.
5/3

IIW: A mechanic that creates a new game piece, like Venture or Daybound.

Those are... some lines of text. I see some links between the abilities and Akira, but not much between the abilities themselves... I guess I can treat the second two abilities as flavour text, but that seems wrong.

Nano-Virus 5UU
Artifact Enchantment Creature- Germ (R)
You may cast Nano-Virus as an aura with enchant artifact for 2UU
When Nano-Virus dies or becomes unattached from an artifact, you may attach it to target artifact.
You control enchanted artifact.
5/8

IIW: The biggest common you can design

That's cute! I love how well it takes the flavour, but I feel like it's going to cause some serious rules hassles... That and it seems... very recurrable. Is the intention that it perpetually keeps something stolen? And if there are no artifacts, it's supposed to go to grave (and not become a creature, since it's not a Bestow card)?

Cybernetic Arms 1WW
Artifact — Equipment (U)
When Cybernetic Arms enters the battlefield, attach it to up to one target creature you control.
Equipped creature is a Cyborg in addition to its other types. It gets +2/+2 and can block an additional creature each combat.
As long as Cybernetic Arms isn't attached to a creature, it has equip .


IIW: The Adventures of She-Ra and/or He-Man

Solid card, clean representation of mechanical abilities. The inability to move it is chef's kiss in terms of flavour.

Quantum Sai 1W
Sorcery (C)
Put a Quantum [ Lifelink \ +1/+1 ] counter on a creature you control. Draw a card. (A counter with two states has no effect. As a creature would become blocked or unblocked, its controller chooses a state for its counters until end of turn.)

I use "would" because a Quantum flying (or menace) counter could cause a block to become invalid (this card could as well, if a creature couldn't block creatures with power 3+ or something like that.) Since blocks were already declared, a creature that became unable to block this way can't go towards another block.

brain nightmare. I think this is versatile enough that you don't want it to grant even more freedom to the user as per your extra comment.

Edit: As a bizarre coincidence, I just noticed that this is my 445th post on MTGN. I based my card on a character(?) from the movie Neo Tokyo, which I had never heard of before posting this. I guess it would have been even more bizarre if this was my 443rd post, since 444-1 is 443, but still.

444-1 4

4/4

IIW: Band names as black-bordered card names. (No local bands. Your band should at least have a Wikipedia page.)

I have also never heard of this film. Interesting card, kinda like a creature-based Sulfuric Vortex. I feel like the play patterns may be a bit too linear here.

151 kamikomon UGR
Sorcery (Alchemy)
Shuffle random creature cards with color identity within blue, green and red, into your library, until there's at least 151 creature cards.
You get an emblem with "At the beginning of your upkeep, exile a random common creature card from your library. You may cast cards exiled this way this turn. If you have cast three or more creatures of a certain rarity this way, also exile a card of the next higher rarity."

That's a lot of words. Nobody will ever cast this card, but it seems like a good 4fun game mode in MTGA akin to Omniscience draft or Momir Basic.

The Ghost 3
Legendary Artifact
Creatures you control can't block.
You can't cast spells on other players' turns.
At the beginning of combat on your turn, you may pay 1W. If you do, you choose which creatures block this combat and how those creatures block.
(2/u): Look at target player's hand.

IIW: a moment of desperation

There are a lot of lines here, some of which work together. I feel like all the abilities together make the game a little too... empty. Completely invalidate blocks (so you either blow out your opponent instantly, or they're basically forced to alpha every turn to not lose their weaker creatures), and stop casting spells on your opponent's turns. Feels like it would just turn into tapping out every turn and turning everyone sideways.

Pupil of Ken-Sama 2W
Creature — Human Samurai Clown (R)
When Pupil of Ken-Sama enters the battlefield, study the blade. (Search your library for an Equipment or Vehicle card, reveal it, put it into your hand, then shuffle.)
Whenever Pupil of Ken-Sama becomes blocked, if it's modified, it gets +2/+2 until end of turn.
2/2

IIW: Modifications

But your waifu, she calls him Pupil of Dad-Sama. Clown made me laugh. Study the blade made me laugh. Solid meme. Honestly a reasoanble card, too.

Encoded Firewall 1
Artifact - Fortification
Fortified artifact or land has hexproof.
Fortify artifact or land 1 (Attach to target artifact or land you control. Fortify only as a sorcery. This card enters the battlefield unattached and stays on the battlefield if the artifact or land leaves.)

Next: Fortifications

Ah, interesting, extending Fortify to artifacts. Makes sense, interesting twist on the mechanic. Unfortunately, even with that functionality, the mechanic still has no design space. I feel like this card + Darksteel is approximately 2/3s of all the cards you could make with this mechanic.
