Winner is the Judge #912: Take Two

11 Upvotes

Thanks to u/sumg for running last week's competition!

Recently, an idea that's stuck with me is how often a card design comes from just trying to revisit an older card. People love riffs whether they're colorshifts, new members of a cycle, or just an attempt to fix an old design mistake. For Wizards, that obviously can only come from official cards, but since this community is all about custom cards why not look back at those instead?

Your challenge for this week is to revisit a previous custom card idea you've designed, and try something new with it! This is pretty broad, so I'm willing to allow a lot. I'll give some examples of things that are allowed, but really anything goes if it fits with the prompt. You could:

  • Do a second take on a card that you liked
  • Make a new card using a custom mechanic you've made
  • Try to adapt an idea you previously scrapped
  • Rework a previous submission for a contest like Winner is the Judge
  • Design a card that fits into a custom faction you've come up with

If you don't have anything you want to revisit from your own designs, you can also go for your own take on someone else's card/idea. Just make sure to give proper credit to your inspiration if you do so!

While you don't need to provide the original design you were inspired by for your submission unless you want to, bonus points if you do describe the original idea you adapted. It can be as brief or detailed as you want, I'm just interested to see how these ideas evolved.

Judging will occur on Sunday, October 11. Be sure to let me know if you'd like any feedback on your design or if you have any questions!

EDIT: Congratulations to this week's winner: u/Proteusmutabilis! There were a lot of fun designs this week, so again, be sure to let me know if you'd like to hear my thoughts on yours.

I like ball lightning

EDIT: Had an error in the text, it should say at the beginning of your endstep, and should have an extra line of text to state that you can only bestow your own creature, as people pointed out you can bestow you opponents creatures as weird red removal, which was not my intention.

Potential expansion to the color pie - Counterspells in every color

45 Upvotes

It feels strange to me that blue has an effective monopoly on the "counter target spell" text. Obviously, stack interaction exists in other colors: Red already gets target redirection like Deflecting Swat, and white gets stax like Silence. But I'm not sure there's any other mechanic that is SO single-color, with "One color primary, every color just absolutely out of luck." Except extra turns, which is also blue.

For the record, I do NOT think that every color should get counterspells, this post is more of a thought exercise and conversation starter than "these should be printed 100%" suggestions. I'm curious what people here would think about giving other colors secondary access to counters!

EDIT: As I'm writing a comment, I remembered that handrips like Thoughtseize are monopolized by black.

I know it goes infinite with Timewalk; its Timewalk.

Cipher (Then you may exile this spell card encoded on a creature you control. Whenever that creature deals combat damage to a player, its controller may cast a copy of the encoded card without paying its mana cost.)

Thought it could be a cool one-off/showcase mechanic.

Not particularly powerful, there are better ways to kill a planeswalker, but I find it cool. I'd imagine this would only see lay in a limited format. Critiques welcome.
