This is never going to get into combat unless it's guaranteed not to die. It has lackeys to do combat for it.

Looks like a staple for red and green Commander decks to me. This turns Pillage into Vindicate! Imagine upgrading Vandalblast with this. Yum!

Ooooh, sorry, CARDNAME gains trample. I apparently suck at reading your card suggestions :oops: Edit: that should be "If you cast ... CARDNAME has trample." I think.

I mean, trample during the end step is useless, but I really like this template, that is so fun! :D

I don't think this works the same way. Spells like Exquisite Firecraft, Demonfire, and Banefire have a separate ability that checks whether the spell can be countered in a sort of on/off way. You'll notice that in each of these instances, whether the spell can be countered is already determined...

I thought you can't write "that creature", since BaB deals damage to "any target", but take a look at Scorching Lava! "Scorching Lava deals 2 damage to any target. If this spell was kicked, that creature can’t be regenerated this turn and if it would die this turn, exile it instead." I'm very...

;)

I think it's a bit crowded with five options, and the last option doesn't work as worded because the spell can target anything, and not just players. I would simply drop the last option, wither plays differently, but also "manages" a big opposing threat. I also wonder if this works, since...

Haha, this is a bit much yeah. If you do want to go for something like this, the first part should read: "Choose one. If you cast this spell during your main phase, choose two instead.". See Inscription of Abundance and Might of Old Krosa for templating.

Word of warning, Beta was atriciously balanced for limited play. I suspect Shandalar is still the best way to enjoy Beta, but I hope you are going to get a lot of fun out of your experiment! At the very least, welcome to these boards! :)

I take back what I said @Velrun, I missed that the tap ability didn't target. That's actually a clever solution!

But those are often rife with better options. This is neither instant speed, nor can it deal with a permanent at mana advantage. You're always trading exactly 1 for 1 at sorcery speed. Might still be worth it though? Funch's Unpowered Fair List is running Council's Judgment, for example which...

Why tap that creature? It's an instant effect, so I don't think that achieves much. Also, we already have... Dromoka's Command Including the fight effect would make this really similar. Plus, that still has the problem of the token not being to able to benefit from one of the modes. You could...

This looks powerful, but not overwhelmingly so. I would think this is slightly worse that Cryptic Command still, but pretty close. It's a shame you can't buff the token with that third ability. You could change it to "put a +1/+1 counter on each creature you control".

Have I mentioned yet that THIS IS A BANGER!?

I don't know about that. I think Watery Grave is better than Skullport, and Watery Grave was really good, but not too good for Standard. Edit: the real problem is WotC doesn't much like printing legendary lands anymore.

I'ld be so down for that!

All of the rectangles are in one file. You can ctrl+F to find your seat and copy the rectangles into your own thread. Pro-tip, don't look at the other rectangles ;)

True, probably because D&D is way more lore-oriented than MtG. I mean, there is a story, but most consumers of Magic the Gathering do so exclusively through the cards, so it helps spelling out the identity of a card in the name on the card. That's why Magic so heavily relies on epithets.

Yes it was! Maybe annoyed is the wrong word, but I'ld argue it's not at all poor writing, if anything it's strong writing. It's not a very important topic for me either, but as an avid D&D player and DM, I do like debating over worldbuilding (which this essentially comes down to) :) I do get...
