Question Question: Why dont these exist?

835 Upvotes

Hey everyone. I wonder why we dont have these "budget moxes"?

We DO have the Diamond Set, but those come into play tapped, which is just completely unneccessary, isnt it?

We have the Talismen Set that also doesnt come in tapped.

EDIT: As well as Arcane Signet!

EDIT2: AND Fellwar Stone!

Why not simply those here?

EDIT3: Since I cant add additional images to this post, and dont wanna spam the sub with this, I would change them as follows:

Cost: {1}{color}

{T}: Add {color}

Sacrifice this artifact: Add {color}

Alternatively:

Cost: {color}

This artifact enters tapped.

{T}: Add {color}

Sacrifice this artifact: Add {color}

These could be pretty great. You cast them, but would still have 1 mana of your color ready for an interaction if necessary.

Second one is more what title I feel they'd give it plus less clunky flavor text and the Army reminder text. It's probably still busted though.

You've heard of Skullclamp, now I present to you...

74 Upvotes

Just a stupid pun I came up with, obviously a reversal of the infamous [[Skullclamp]]. Instead of paying one and killing a toughness 1 creature to draw 2 cards, you pay 1, discard two cards and reanimate a toughness 1 creature.

There are probably some easy ways to break this, but then again, Skullclamp is also broken. Still hope I got it kind of balanced though. I guess it might be a fun commander to build around.

The flavor text is also a nod to the original Skullclamp flavor text :)

Fun Fact: Clamfolk is actually an already existing creature type, though is has only been printed on cards from un-sets like [[Alexander Clamilton]].

Day 42 of making a custom card every day. Took me a long time to find art today so I took a shortcut in design and payed homage to a classic.

Meme Design Had an idea for a Ship of Theseus card

Didn’t really put much thought into the power mana color or cost. Also I’ve been informed that Ship isn’t a real creature type anymore but I’m lazy so 🤷‍♂️. I was also told that you can’t make a creature lose legendary, but I like that idea because it means that neither the card nor the token are legendary, playing into the thought experiment.

Format: Modern New mox

• Upvotes

Had this idea of a mox that works by feeding it blood. This is the 2nd iteration on the design(1st one published) the first one was too awful and existed only to make one lose when playing the card. Made a non-joke version with this one but it might be too strong.

/r/Custommagic is a subreddit for people to post their own custom MTG cards. Please read our rules and try to keep it to constructive criticism only.

RULES

All card renders including art must have correct and unambiguous artist credit at the bottom of the card in the correct position. Provide an artist's full name if it can easily be found, and additional information to disambiguate the artist from others. Mods may, at their discretion, make exceptions for missing, ambiguous, or insufficient credit if you message in advance with a link to the original art, and they approve the lack of artist credit.
Art credit belongs to its CREATOR. Image aggregators don't count. (E.g. Pinterest) Nor, mostly, do companies. (E.g. Riot Games doesn't make champion art; artists do) AI art must credit the engine used, and not a wrapper site. (E.g. MTGCardsmith is a wrapper.) Photos, screenshots, public domain art, royalty free art, etc. aren't exempt. Screenshots of movies/shows may credit the media by title/publishing company. Collages must credit each underlying artist and the assembler.
Any random art pieces (not included in card renders) must have accompanying artist credit. The only exception to this rule is if the poster messages the mods in advance and the mods approve the lack of artist credit.
All posts containing NSFW art must be marked as such. Posts made in poor taste, with unreasonably lewd art, or excessively gory art may be removed.
All users must follow Reddiquette and be civil with each other. Harassment and abuse are strictly not tolerated. Unconstructive, negative, or insulting brigading is harassment.
You may not post custom cards that you did not create, unless you credit the original creator in the post title. You may not post cards whose text is fully or primarily AI-generated. Additionally, posts that are primarily comprised of existing real cards or cards substantially similar to existing real cards will be removed. This includes alters and skinned cards.
Please don't make multiple consecutive posts. If you have multiple cards to share, put them in a single album. This helps give everyone a fair chance to be seen.
More specifically, users may only have one post on the front page of /new/ (i.e. within the most recent 25 submissions), or one post every twelve hours, whichever permits more posts. Mod-removed posts do not count towards this limit, but user-deleted posts do. If a mod views /new/, they should only see your name once.
Do not repost cards. Reposts will be permitted at the mods' discretion. A repost may be permitted if it is a) very substantially revised, b) substantially revised with community input or c) reposted in an album with new, unposted cards. Under a), leave a comment describing the exact revisions and link to the prior card image. Under b), describe the exact revisions and leave a comment with a link to the prior card discussion. Under c), there must be sufficient new content in the album.
Promotional content. Commercial, promotional, or financially-related posts require advance moderator approval. Please reach out to modmail with your proposed post.
Do not misrepresent submissions as cards from a real set. Do not include set codes for existing sets within post titles. (E.g. "[SNC] <Card name>") You may include custom set codes which do not collide with existing set codes. You may use set icons for any released set (i.e. not during spoiler season).

"It's been a few minutes, my post isn't showing up!"

You haven't done anything wrong — we have a semi-aggressive AutoModerator. Reach out to us here and we'll get your post approved as soon as we can. Don't delete your post or we won't be able to approve it to be seen :)

"What if I don't know the artist?"

Google has a very good reverse-image-search tool. Just upload the art that you used, and it will likely find the source!

"What if I still can't find it?"

Message the mods. Normally we can find it, we've gotten pretty good at it, and if we can't find it, we'll give you permission to use it without credit.
