September CCL Round 2

The Mechanics that Time will Forget

Welcome to the Card Creation League! Everyone is free to participate in either or both of the first two rounds. Come join us!

Theme


This month's theme is One-off Mechanics.

More one-off mechanics that you'll never see again! for this category, I want to see you all play around with mechanics that technically aren't keywords but are mechanics that the hat sets were built around. Good luck, some of these are kinda rough.



Challenge

Create a Card that cares about Suspects, Committing Crimes, Speed, Beholding or Manifesting Dread.

Important Clarifications

Show

Hide

- Make sure to include a rarity.

- In the case of Beholding specifically, it doesn't have to be "behold a dragon".

Mechanics Reminders

Show

Hide

Suspect: A suspected creature has menace and can't block.

Crime: Targeting opponents, anything they control, and/or cards in their graveyards is a crime.

Speed: Triggered by a card with Start Your Engines! ((If you have no speed, it starts at 1. It increases once on each of your turns when an opponent loses life. Max speed is 4.)

Behold [object]: To behold an [object], choose an [object] you control or reveal an [object] card from your hand.

Manifest Dread: Look at the top two cards of your library. Put one onto the battlefield face down as a 2/2 creature and the other into your graveyard. Turn it face up any time for its mana cost if it's a creature card.

[EsperCormorant]

Legion's Lineup
Enchantment (R)
When this enchantment enters, suspect up to X target creatures.
Sacrifice this enchantment: Choose target suspected creature. All other suspected creatures are no longer suspected.
Finding half a dozen Gruul berserkers turned out to be easy enough: the hard part was getting them to stand still for thirty seconds.

[Alchemist]

Tottson, Slow and Steady 1GU
Legendary Creature - Turtle (M)
Skulk
Start your engines!
T, Reduce your speed by 1: Put a stun counter on each of up to three target permanents. Activate only if you have 2 or more speed.
Max speed - At the beginning of your end step, draw two cards and untap Tottson.
1/5

[JessWill]

Twist the Knife
Enchantment (U)
Whenever you commit a crime against an opponent, that player loses 1 life.
"You have to watch your back in the city of sin or you'll soon find yourself in the garbage bin." - Aeon Wynne

[Flatline]

@Aldrath, you have manifest dread listed as an option in the bold header, but you have behold listed in the mechanic reminders section instead of manifest dread. Are people allowed to use either option?

Reckless Rider 1r
Creature - Goblin Pilot (U)
Menace, haste
Start your engines!
This creature gets +X/+0, where X is your speed.
Whenever this creature deals combat damage to a player, sacrifice it if you have max speed.
"If you go fast enough, you can run over just about anything."
1/1

Edit: Dang it! I forgot there's already a card named Reckless Racer. Had to change the name.

[Aldrath]

@Flatline didn't mean to have that, that was part of an earlier draft, but you know what, screw it, we'll have both. Beholding isn't going to show up later in the contest anyway and round one had like 9 options, what's one more for round 2?

[BatBite]

Omenpath Racing Team
Creature - Horror (R)
Start your engines! (If you have no speed, it starts at 1. It increases once on each of your turns when an opponent loses life. Max speed is 4.)
Max Speed - Whenever you commit a crime, manifest dread.
3/3

[Lord_Xenagos]

Behold the Infallible 1GW
Instant (R)
As an additional cost to cast this spell behold a legendary creature.
Target legendary creature you control gains hexproof, indestructible, and vigilance until the end of your next turn.
Creatures you control get +X/+0 until end of turn where X is the power of the legendary creature you beheld.

[bravelion83]

Azobio, Agony Amplifier 2GU
Legendary Artifact (M)
While manifesting dread, look at the top three cards of your library instead of the top two. (You still choose only one card to manifest. Put all the rest in your graveyard.)
1{G/U}{G/U}, T: Manifest dread. Activate only as a sorcery.
An evershifting statue representing all the different ways you could die, hidden in the most inaccessible room of all of Duskmourn.

[marioguy3]

Menacing Bagbearer
Creature - Human Warrior (Rare)
When this creature enters, suspect each creature you control.
Whenever a creature you control with power 2 or less deals combat damage to a player or Planeswalker, create a Treasure token.
Sacrifice three Treasure tokens: Destroy target non-crreature artifact.
2/3
