vennythekid's Card Ideas Blog

[vennythekid]

Hey so I just wanted to make a thread here to keep all my random card ideas that I have.
Instead of posting them in various corners of the forums, I'm going to try and keep them all here.

Maybe at some point there's enough to flavor and push out a custom draft set.

Also, feel free to comment on any of these.

I know this is off topic now, but that land gave me an idea:

2
Mind-Trip Stone
Artifact
When ~ enters the battlefield, exile the top card of your library.
T: Add 1 mana of any of the exiled card's colors to your mana pool.
1, T, Sacrifice ~: Add 1 mana of any color to your mana pool. Until end of turn, you may cast cards exiled with ~.

Or his big brother:

5
Guilded Hedron Archives
Artifact
When ~ enters the battlefield, exile the top 3 cards of your library.
T: Add 2 mana in any combination of any of the exiled card's colors to your mana pool.

2, T, Sacrifice ~: Add 2 mana of any color to your mana pool. Until end of turn, you may cast cards exiled with ~.

It would be interesting if we used the old-school "effects affect everyone" design:

Stack Headache:
XXG: Sorcery
As long as Stack Headache is on the stack, spells have cascade.


Sudden Storm:
XXUG: Instant
As long as Sudden Storm is on the stack, spells have flash.
As long as Sudden Storm is on the stack, spells have cascade.

TIL "Sudden Storm" is a shitty common from BNG :'(

OH GOD WHY

I'd be super excited to play this!

Maybe a slightly "more fair" version:
Eldrazi-on-Alara-Oh-My! 3
Creature - Eldrazi
Cascade
4/2

"Oh my" indeed

Here's my first submission:

Just me thinking out loud, with a place to put these thoughts:

After reading through the RUG grid-draft stack thread, I really like the idea.
I've also been looking for something like this for 2-player limited magic for when I'm inevitably bored over winter break. The dragon theme really excites me, that could be a neat theme if done well.
I wonder if this is the perfect place for energy to be amazing. Like, the best energy cards are in RUG, there's a cool counters theme with Thrumming Bird, etc
I think +1/+1 counter aggro is probably the call here. Experiment One, Cloudfin Raptor, Thriving Dudes, Thrumming Bird, etc.
Possibly add Black for unleash?
UR will need a better identity than "spells matter" since most decks will be playing either blue or red spells anyways. Maybe I'll hit up the Izzet thread in Cube Talk.

More ramblings to come...
