Dang this is still going, idk how I came by this site again since I haven't played mtg in a few years but it was funny to go back and see the overpowered bs I made 2 years ago.
hmm maybe I'll try making another entry

Judging... after I post other necessary threads for the night.

[void_nothing]

chetoos - This is nothing if not a clever recontextualization of the Shard type, but the power levels on these are all over the place (I'm looking at Esper in particular as an outlier), and also, the scale doesn't really seem to match flavorwise. Maybe use "Microcosm" or something in the names?

NinjaCaterpie - Just how I like my worlds: Symmetrical, of dubious utility, carrying a drawback(?). Basically this just WORKS as what it is.

Mergatroid_Jones - I appreciate how high-effort this all is but I... think there's a wrong word in that first reminder text, and for a variety of reasons it seems like the world rule shouldn't be player-specific. The first bunch represent events in the storyline pretty well, but don't seem like "worlds" per se. The second group uses a pretty interesting revision of the rule but are still just plain complicated.

Megiddo - Your obsession with straight-out YGO conversions impresses and disgusts me in equal measure. This is actually a great rendition of Toon World, but Toon World also should not exist in Magic. This, bottom line, looks sort of miserable for everybody, its controller included.

Megiddo - With a more serious name and a cost adjustment, The Floor is Lava! is really plausible.

Ulka - Another good encapsulation of the essence of world enchantments: Cumulative upkeep, unclear color pie positioning, not fun for anybody!

JuanCu - "Phase out for a second" made my eyes absolutely glaze over. Is this meant to be black- or silver-bordered. I LOVE this kind of thing - wacky stuff with Aura functionality - but it might not even need the phasing stuff (just split out the Worldify ETB/something else ETB), and if you do use phasing, just go with "everything phases out, then everything phases in" - a little lenticularity never hurt nobody.

spacemonaut - Worlds as game modes is also pretty interesting! While everyone kinda knows how this works based on the name, it sure takes a lot of words to get there in Magicese...

NinjaCaterpie - Another nice entry, but I'm really not sure about the colors: After all, this is kind of/sort of Azor's Elocutors.

IIW: Multicolored drake

Rorix is fun. Meets the challenge with lots of 4/4s! The potential is exciting but the rate is reasonable... I think, though the 6 option may be a bit cracked.
Mourning Siren is OK. Very solid beatstick in limited; not too much else to say.

Maestro Shadower
Creature - Citizen Noble (R)
Flying, haste
Maestro Shadower can't block.
As long as Maestro Shadower is attacking, it's a Vampire Illusion. (It isn't a Citizen Noble.)

Iiw: Streets of New Capenna given the Fate Reforged treatment (Alternate timeline)

Can't say I'm a fan of that kind of mana cost. Card seems really good baseline as a 3 mana 4/4 hasty flier. Doesn't the "end the step" let you completely blank opposing attacks as long as the Shadower is blocking?

Luzerna, Playful Torturer 2BB

IIW: Our 3-color set has too many 4/5 color drafters. Any ideas?

Luzerna is interesting, but being a 4/4 detracts a bit, given you can't attack with it and trigger its ability cleanly. It's probably a bit much that it triggers once for each player for each turn, since eg. triggering extort draws you three cards per turn. The background seems narrow and not worth it, though I guess it's fine for decks that want to kill via commander damage as well.

Keldon Warkite 2
Artifact- Vehicle (U)
Flying, Trample
Crew 2
When Keldon Warkite dies during combat, destroy all creatures that crewed it this turn.
4/4

IIW: Colorshift a mechanic

With no survivors! Flavour is great and card is interesting. Haven't though about the play patterns but it should be OK.

4/4

Iiw: aggro green

Ugh, seek. I guess at a baseline, it's able to fetch you lands? then grows depending on the kinds of counters you've got around. Interesting, though I'm not sure if it's likely to be doing much more than getting you 1 drops (lands almost feel more valuable than that, even). You'd need quite a winning board to start hitting 2 or 3, though I guess ability counters help a lot these days.

Plague Bats 1B
Creature — Bat {R}
Flying
When Plague Bats dies, you lose 1 life, discard a card, sacrifice a creature, then sacrifice a land
4/4

IIW: MVP

Great reference. Not sure how playable, given how absolutely cooked you are if this gets removed (3-for-1 at a minimum, and one's a land lol). Fun to look at if nothing else.

In alchemy right now, with just 2 other creatures, Tenacious Pup and anything with a shield counter, you're grabbing 4 drops.

Krengul, Mob Usurper 3RR
Legendary Creature — Goblin Warrior (R)
When Krengul, Mob Usurper enters the battlefield, create a 1/1 red Goblin creature token.
Whenever Krengul attacks, populate X times, where X is the number of attacking Goblins you control. (To populate, create a token that's a copy of a creature token you control. Do this X times.)
3/3

unsure if that counts since red populate cropped up on one card in Commander 2019, so also:

Conspicuous Witness 2GG
Creature — Human Shaman
When Conspicuous Witness enters the battlefield, surveil 3, then you may return a card from your graveyard to your hand. (To surveil 3, look at the top three cards of your library, then put any number of them into your graveyard and the rest on top of your library in any order.)
2/1


IIW: team fortress

[wonderful]

Ancient Cant 1RW
Sorcery (U)
Create a 3/2 red and white Spirit creature token.
Cipher (Then you may exile this spell card encoded on a creature you control. Whenever that creature deals combat damage to a player, its controller may cast a copy of the encoded card without paying its mana cost.)

IIW: interesting froggos 🐸

[Juancu]

Krengul got deshifted just now spacemounaunt (Determined Iteration, a few hours after your post.)

I've always felt vigilance should be red. Sure, it allows more blocking, but since you are regularly forgoing attacking to leave blockers, it's actually a mechanic that allows more aggression.

Blinding Charger 1WW
Creature - Human Paladin (U)
Attacking creatures you control have hexproof.
3/3

IIW: out three color set has too many four/five color drafters. Any ideas?

[spacemonaut]

😎 Krengul was here before red populate was cool
