General Custom Cards: The Lab

No one would cube my sweet walker?

Xexamedes, Archveult 1BB
Planeswalker - Xexamedes (M)
[+1]: Xexamedes deals 1 damage to target player and you gain 1 life.
[-3]: Pay X life, target creature gets -X/-X until end of turn.
[3HP]
 
I'm gonna say it should start at 2 devotion, and maybe cost 2B?

Some Guy, the Random Dude 2B
Planeswalker - Some Guy
Some Guy enters the battlefield with X loyalty counters, where X is your devotion to black.
+1: deal 1 damage to target creature, gain 1 life
-X: pay X life: creatures get -X/-X until end of turn.
 
What if you had permanents that were creatures unless your devotion to X is high enough, in which case they are walkers instead..like bizarro gods... the rules are pretty nasty... especially the bit where the creatures kinda have to etb with loyalty counters....

Ooh! or an ability word... like: "Ignite-- Whenever TRIGGER, Transform ~ and put X loyalty counters on it" ... and the back is a Plansewalker

I really like that... it would allow you to mechanically represent the story of how some dude ignited their spark... there are some great, flavorful triggers out there, like, "another creature you control dies" or "~ dies" or "a creature dealt damage this turn by ~ dies"...
Even wackier stuff like "a creature with power 5 or greater enters the battlefield"...
 
'Whenever this creature attacks a planeswalker, it gets +2/+0 until end of turn'

You're welcome, go crazy.

Also yours for free '2 damage to a creature, 3 damage to a planeswalker, or 4 damage to a player'. Uncostable due to its variance in effect and utterly dependent on there being planeswalkers semi-commonly in the environment, but the idea's there.
 
Super Wall-Guy 1W
Planeswalker - Wall-Guy
You can block with Super Wall-Guy as though he is a creature. No damage is dealt to creatures it blocks.
+1: Tap Super Guy and Target Creature.
-8: Destroy all Creatures
Loyalty: 2
 
dude {1}{B}
Creature - Zombie
Whenever you dredge, put a +1/+1 counter on ~.
{1}{G}, {T}: Target card in your graveyard gains “Dredge 4” until end of turn.
2/2
 
Making the flavor fit better:

Chaos Entity 1R
Creature - Shapeshifter
Changeling, Double Strike
Discard a card at random: Creatures you control get +1/+0 and gain all creature types until end of turn.
1/1

Ooh!

Chaos Entity 1R
Creature - Shapeshifter
Changeling, First Strike
R: Creatures you control get +1/+0 and gain first strike and all creature types until end of turn. Target opponent reveals the top card of his or her library. If it's a permanent card, he or she puts it onto the battlefield.
2/1

I don't know if thats even good anymore. Probably.
 
Need art/names for these:

Festering wound for the black one?
I think If the gruul soulbond guy were real, we would all just call him care bear :)

By the way, these are all sweet cards, I particularly like gruulbeast. I actually run 2 of a card sort of like stone quarry, it's

etb tapped,
when it enters the battlefield, scry 2
T: add {1} to your mana pool.
{1}T: add 1 mana of any color to your mana pool. ~ deals one damage to you.

It's been fine, usually a mid pack pick, played in most fastish decks with good mana, and some slow decks with not so great mana :p
 
Ooh you give me an idea!

1/1
 
Bloodlust Berserker RR
Haste, Bloodlust 1

The bloodlust should maybe be something else? First Strike?

Instant
Counter target spell with converted mana cost X.
Flashback—{U}{U}, Exile X blue cards from your graveyard.

Onderzeeboot

Gotta aliterate!

Ajani's Airwalking Amigo
Ajani's Angry Amigo

Black Artifact Destruction - 1B
Instant
Destroy Target Non-land Permanent. You lose life equal to its CMC.
That just seems wrong. Both in the sense that it's breaking the color pie in about a 1000 ways for no good reason other than the fact that you're trying to justify black getting an effect it shouldn't get, and in the sense that it's severely undercosted.
 
Sleepless Seer {1}{B}{B}
Creature — Vampire Shaman
You may look at the top card of your library. (You may do this at any time.)
{T}: Reveal the top card of your library, and put it into your graveyard. If it has flashback, untap Sleepless Seer.
1/5

Moaning Invader {2}{B}
Creature — Zombie
Delve (Each card you exile from your graveyard while casting this spell pays for 1.)
2/3

Wildwalker {3}
Artifact Creature — Golem
Wildwalker enters the battlefield with two +1/+1 counters on it.
{2}{G}{W}, {T}: Put a +1/+1 counter on Wildwalker.
{2}{R}, Remove a +1/+1 counter from Wildwalker: Destroy target artifact.
0/0

Sulian Cogitator {2}{U}
Creature — Merfolk Monk
Protection from instants
Whenever Sulian Cogitator deals combat damage to a player, draw three cards, then put two cards from your hand on top of your library in any order.
1/3
 
I want a cycle of lands with 1 basic land type. And I have basically no idea. I imagine they should either etb tapped or shock you. Maybe give. you the choice.

Ideas:
A cycle of 5 Fetchable Urborg, Tomb of Yawgmoth variants:

Supurborg
Land - Swamp
Other lands you control have T, pay 1 life: add B to your mana pool.
