General Print this Wizards! (So I can put it in my cube)

safra

Hey folks! I'm going to place another proxy order for my cube soon (fetches and wastelands for Aoret's mana experiment) and I wanted to take the chance to get some nice-enough copies of custom cards. My cube doesn't have any customs in it at present, and only one or two Sharpie "errata", but I checked in with my regular playgroup and they're not opposed to the idea as long as it's done tastefully.

I'm pulling a few from Onderzeeboot's fantastic Khans of Alara cube - visualspoiler here - and elsewhere in this thread.

Here's a few things I'm nebulously looking for, though, so if you have any designs kicking around that sound similar I'd love to see them. I'll have about 15-20 slots for customs if I go with the
land experiment long-term and I think it's the best compromise that doesn't involve finding symmetrical cuts to make (but i'm looking to customs for a reason, so...)


creatures that interact with cards in graveyards
fun equipment (Beast Mask prob. but also other things?)
three-colour spells that feel worth being in three colours for ("Chain Reckoning", check this beautiful wrath)
disenchant effects people will maindeck
artifact and enchantment creatures
spells with Flashback, especially if they have off-colour flashbacks
"target Planeswalker"
spellbombs/baubles
playable regrowth dudes that aren't just Eternal Witness w/ funky stats
hatebears / tax effects
modal counterspells
mana dorks that tap for {R}
literally anything that supports Goblin Welder nonpoisonously

Obviously I've got my own list of options going, and don't go to any trouble on my part, but I'm excited about this opportunity to run cool and good cards Wizards haven't already made. Thanks in advance!

e: two more mechanics that are a lil more out there but if you have fun Cascade or Storm cards hit me with 'em too. i was gonna do some stuff with Cascade into [card type] but all my designs are really obtuse

http://josso.co.uk/anotak/for-safra.zip here safra, several MSE files of either various piles of cards or incomplete cubes or whatever

i recommend starting with "future-cube2015"? probably

i actually drafted "turbo-cube9000" many times, that was a group design with a cool friend of mine. but it has a lot of issues, too complex for ppl to track and stuff. and changing existing cards slightly just makes people confused and unhappy generally.

I like CT's Kami of the Ancient Law that hits artifacts too.

Cards that have been well accepted/successful here.
The Volcanic Hammer with Strive 1.
2/1 Golem artifact critter for 1 and phyrexian red.
The Black Firebolt that makes a tapped Zombie token instead of 2 damage has actually been cool.
I like Brass Cave and Brass Burnwillows

So far this guy has been not picked, except by me. Haven't used it on my own creature yet. Pretty much just a bad fire imp so far. The counter definitely has more play to it. If need be it could lose the second ability and change stats

Glad to hear some of my cards are on the short list :p

If I was to recommend any of my designs to someone without customs currently in their cube, here's the ones I'd suggest:

6Y0TvL9.jpg
S94XAWv.jpg
utbgEx3.jpg
pNKGpiW.jpg
3TGItVf.jpg
f7hVkMC.jpg
UYZOtS7.jpg
U86zOj7.jpg
sBXgKhz.jpg

Most of these are cards that are nice, strong cards that don't ask a lot of your cube that help it in little ways.

Also more people need to be playing with Experiment Two :D

Hah I forgot Brass Cave was yours. I think the Brass Burnwillows was Waddell?

I think Experiment Two would confuse my players...
Oh I love the non-tribal Rage Forger variant, whoever did that. Its super good.

Also I'm a big fan of this card:
Shockwave - 1R
Sorcery
Shockwave deals 2 damage divided as you choose among one or two target creatures and/or players.
Creatures dealt damage this way can’t block this turn.

Oh I also run a Nullstone Monolith. Though I think mine may have been stolen from a guy on MTGS and have a different name? Not sure.

Edit: Some custom cards people should be running:

Yes somebody please fix that card for me!
It is sweet though. I prefer it to the 5th Brainstorm. Helps a bit with reanimator too, which I'm not supporting much right now, but I think I may put it back in to help keep aggro in check.

it took me until today to understand the obvious flavor on thawing glaciers
Receding Glacier
Land
{T}: Add {1} to your mana pool.
{G}, {T}: Look at the top card of your library. You may reveal it. If it was a land card, put it onto the battlefield tapped and return ~ to its owner’s hand.

I thought the flavor was fairly obvious? As the glacier thaws (i.e. retreats, i.e. returns to your hand) it reveals the land that was frozen underneath (i.e. puts a basic land onto the battlefield tapped).

-Revel the top if it's a creature put it in hand if not you may put it in grave.
Threshold - gets +1/1

More garbage for the poor white decks

Pious Interloper {1}{W}
Creature - Human Knight
Flash
When Pious Interloper enters the battlefield gain 1 life
{W}, Pious Interloper from your graveyard: Put a 1/1 white flying spirit token onto the battlefield.
Plains Cycling {2}
2/1

Ecstatic Orb
Meren of Clan Nel Toth is cool and all, but she makes me wish there was decent removal in red for her.

Baste {1}{R}
Sorcery
Baste deals 4 damage to target creature. If that creature would die this turn, exile it instead.

Ire of the Immortals {2}{R}{R}
Ire of the Immortals deals 4 damage to each creature. If a creature dealt damage this way would die this turn, exile it instead.

Too much like Wrath of God?

Ire of the Immortals {2}{R}{R}
Ire of the Immortals deals damage to each creature and each opponent equal to the number of instant and sorcery cards in your graveyard. If a creature dealt damage this way would die this turn, exile it instead.
