i like that!

so, why dont i post a card ?

tracker
land (U)
:add one mana to your manapool with the same color as the last added mana.
"always up to date!"

oh and to help out

enchametns could be threads,sorceries could be a post, instants could be a spoilers , but dunno bout artifacts, maybe scripting r parts of the MSE program itself ?

Cool idea Enchantments as thread's are a good idea - there are quite a few big and noticeable ones around here, and they've got their own "feel"

But posts and spoilers? I don't see them producing good cards... I can't even think of any good names How about:

saturate,
Sorcery (C)
Target permanent becomes the color of your choice until end of turn. Draw a card.

or maybe:

Thread locked,
Instant (U)
Choose one: Counter target non-creature spell or destroy target enchantment.
(ok, I know it's not really a red mechanic, but the "Thread Locked" text is always... well... red )

as for artifacts:

Export template,
Artifact
Remove a card from your hand from the game: add to your mana pool.

What do you think? Sorry if the balance or wording is off, but I haven't played MTG in, like, 6 years

Liosan

Ok, I like your ideas. For the art we could just take a screenshot of the place on the site. I'm not very good with wording, so we will have to find someone that is.

I don't really know how to do this, I will just post your cards on the main topic and say these are some possible ideas. We can get further comments on them later. I also will have to agree with Liosan with the card types.

doesn't destroy enchantments.

The Card Clinic
Legendary Enchantment {R or MR}
: Target creature gains all abilities of creature cards in your graveyard until end of turn.

Reasoning: The Card Clinic draws heavily on pre-existing cards to comment.

Twenty Questions
Legendary Enchantment {U}
At the beginning of your upkeep, sacrifice ~ unless you pay 1 life.
At the beginning of each opponent's upkeep, that player names a card. Reveal a nonland card at random from your library, then shuffle your library. If the chosen card was the named card, sacrifice ~.
When ~ is put into graveyard from the battlefield, all opponents draw 2 cards.

Reasoning: You start the game w/ 20 life. Opponents want to win & gain the benefit.

I like this Idea!
But... How about we make Pich and Innuendo into cards, too?

I am Adam1949, and I approve this Thread!

Uh, does the 20Q card have a real point? It provides no advantage to you - you're losing life, and your opponents draw cards when you stop losing life...

Also, are all/most active members going to be represented here? If so, are they legendary creatures? This would result in a legend-heavy set. One thing I have seen in another project like this (don't remember where) are some typical forum stereotypes represented as non-legendary creatures.

I don't know...
...
...
... Oh! I've got it!
The moderators and main threads (Keyword game, 20 Q's, Card Clinic, etc) should be Legendary, while us regulars (Me, Aurora, Lord of 13, copapoc, A Tactical Waffle, etc.) and the other threads are... well, regular.

I like your Idea too!

Now, the real question is: What types of abilities do us regular people have to distinguish us from each other? Since this set is about the actual forums, I assume things like what we would post in the Roleplaying thread don't apply here...

I like this thread, also if we made are selves planeswalkers we could make non legendary creature to go with our walkers

Sliver Chocobo

Plansewalker - Sliver

+1 Chocobo you control get +1/+1 until end of turn
-1 put a 1/1 white Chocobo into play into play
-6 put 3 5/5 white, red and green flying Chocobo into play
loyalty - 4

(i had posted a similar card under a different tpoic)

Yellow Chocobo

Creature - Chocobo
: gains flying until end of turn
Haste
2/2

Ok, the thing I'm having trouble with, is finding the "forum stereotypes" or "distinguishing abilities" of members. Oh well, someone will have to come up with something How about some more ideas:

Forum Rules
land (U)
Forum Rules come into play tapped.
Moderators you control get +1/+0.
: add to you mana pool.

Requesting test for MAC,
Enchantment (R)
Whenever a player plays a white spell, ~ deals 2 damage to him or her unless that player pays .
Ooh, interesting. The problem you're encountering is with experimental new functionality to increase the build speed...

Liosan

@Sliver Chocobo: What we're not sure of is whether we're acting as our actual selves in this set or if we're roleplaying our made-up characters here.

This is my roleplaying form as a planeswalker:

@Liosan: I don't understand the Requesting Test fully. Why is it black/red and hosing white?

I have an idea! Instead of making moderators and the big important members legendary we could make them planeswalkers.

The abilities will be tough, but they would be based on what topics you reply to and make; and the tone of those topics and replies (aka: what you type). Colors would also have to be based on something else because if we only base it on what the type, there would be a ton of blue, white, and green and almost no red and black.

What about if we base it on the colours of the cards we post

Sorry i had ment that the moderators shoud be based on the cards they post in the forms, such as if they have posted more black cards make them black, or they could be all colours

Liosan

@ Silver Chocobo: Not sure if that's a good idea. After all, I make green and black cards nicely, but in reality I am much more Blue/Red.

For abilities, I'm thinkin' we'll just have to be honest about ourselves:

Adam1949

Creature-Human Wizard (What? I'm smart!)
: Draw a card, then discard a card.
, : Adam1949 deals 1 damage to target creature or player.
0/2

See? Not too powerful, but helpful to a certain extent.

If this set is gonna be an Un-Set, i got ZEH card:

@ Nickeyeia: Sorry, I don't think this will become an unset anymore, we seem to be getting a lot more regular cards. Although I like your card idea.
@ Adam: I have great flavor text for that card you made. As seen on TV

I am interested in the forum for a while now, and I finally found an O.K. idea for a card of me. How's this?

DracoMaster
Creature-Human Warrior (U)
Haste
When ~ comes into play, gain control of target Dragon.
3/1
Okay, dragon... Come here, dragon... Don't eat me, dragon...

Well, this is suitable because I can (somewhat) control my sister, who is WAY worse than any dragon.

My card should probably be something like this:

Aurora Illumina
Creature - Human (Elemental?) Wizard
(Lifelink?)
At the beginning of your upkeep, target opponent chooses a card type. Then, reveal the top card of your library. If that card doesn't have the chosen card type, you gain 2 life.
2/2

Somewhat related to the fact that I made the 20Q thread, though it's difficult to make something like that into something concise that could fit on a card. The parts in brackets are "roleplaying" stuff that may or may not be included on the card. I tried to find an overlap between me and my roleplaying character here.

Credit the Artist
Sorcery (C)
Exile target permanent. It's owner may return it to his hand instead of drawing a card during his draw step.
Sorry, but even placeholder art must be credited.

While I'm at it:

Don't necro
Sorcery (U)
Choose one: Target player discards all cards that where returned from his graveyard to his hand during his last turn; or destroy target creature that was returned from graveyard to play during it's controller's last turn.
If you control a card named Forum Rules, you may choose both effects.

What do you think?

EDIT: hm, according to my own proposition from a few posts back, these two should be Instants. Would that change the amount of sense that's in them? Probalby "don't necro" could be simpler as an Instant - some sort of selective counterspell - but I don't know how to do it with keeping it white (which seems atuned to the "rules" thing).

Liosan

Credit the Artist - I like it, but the name implies the opposite of what it should be. I know you intended it to be said as an imperative order, but it could be taken as an actual action rather than an imperative statement. The name should be something along the lines of "Remove uncredited images" or something.

Don't Necro makes perfect sense. Though we don't have a Forum Rules card yet...

(You forgot to have the cards refer to both genders...)

@ A Tactical Waffle: LOL good flavor text for me. Whatever gave you the idea?

Going back onto the main track, I agree with Aurora, especially on Don't Necro (don't =)

But I am noticing a severe lack of cards, and an un(Insert deity here)ly amount of ones. We should probably have a basis on what to work on for what colors, though I can't think of one right now...
...
Oh! I've got it!

=Rules of the threads (Crediting, etc.)

= Modifying posts, etc.

="Killing" Threads (Necroing, etc.)

=Wontonly breaking forum rules (Flaming, etc.)

=Constructive, but unorthodox working

Please rate these ideas I made up in... 10 minutes.

EDIT: I don't suppose anyone has a place where we can down/upload our ideas to, so that we can save these cards we seem to be creating at mach X? (Heh, I made a new keyword...)

@Aurora: yup, all points are valid... let me try again (can't think of a good name... anyone? Ideas?)

Remove uncredited render
Sorcery (C)
Exile target permanent. It's owner may return it to his or her hand instead of drawing a card during his or her draw step.
Sorry, but even placeholder art must be credited.

Don't necro
Sorcery (U)
Choose one: Target player discards all cards that where returned from his or her graveyard to his or her hand during his or her last turn; or destroy target creature that was returned from graveyard to play during it's controller's last turn.
If you control a card named Forum Rules, you may choose both effects.

(okay, that's 3 "his or her" in one sentence... rephrase, anyone? Also, I posted a land "Forum rules" a few posts before. Maybe it should produce ?).

According to Adam1949's color-suggestion (which seems fine to me; though where do we put "normal" forum behaviour?), Credit the Artist could be something along the lines of:
Credit the Artist,
Sorcery (U)
Choose an exiled card you own. If it was exiled with Remove uncredited render, you may put it into play without paying it's mana cost; if it was exiled in any other way, shuffle it into your library.

More cards spring to mind (Forum Troll, Uncredited art, Flamewar), but I haven't any idea what they could do except being red.

Liosan

Uh Oh, Liosan. I think you may be right about me and my lack of "normal" forum ideas. I sort of assumed that we would just stuff normalness into the cracks of the colors... Don't ask what that means, but I'm leaning toward what Me and DracoMaster are looking like in card form.

As in...

Appreciation,
Instant(C)
If target permanent you own would be removed from the battlefield this turn, put it into your hand instead.
I like it.

Critique,
Instant(C)
Destroy target creature unless it's controller pays . It can't be regenerated.
The wording is off.

Double post,
Instant(C)
Target creature gains double strike until end of turn.

Innovative idea,
Instant(C)
As an additional cost to play ~, discard a card from your hand.
Search your library for an instant card of you choice and put it into your hand, then shuffle your library.
Got it!

Fix the post,
Instant(C)
Target sorcery or instant spell that you played may not be countered.
Spoilers - check, artist - check...
(ok, because of the stack mechanic that's just a sort of very weak counterspell... what's the keyword that says it resolves without using the stack? I think it would fit better; "If target sorcery or instant spell that you played would be countered, it gains ...... instead", or something like that...)

A few more loose ideas:

Search-box
Land(C)
: add to your mana pool.
,: add to your mana pool.
, discard 2 cards from your hand,: search your library for an enchantment card of your choice and put it into your hand.
At least try to use the search function?

Templating tutorial
Legendary land (R)
,: add up to 3 mana of any one color to your mana pool. Use this mana only to pay for sorcery spells.
Developers you control gain +0/+1.
(comming soon)

Liosan

Yeah, that's what I'm thinking.

Some Critiques (not the one you posted LOL):

Appriciation: I like it, seems fine to me.
Critique: Ouch. Sounds like more of a shootdown than a hint.
Double Post: Why are we awarding people for disobeying the forum rules?
Innovative Idea: Huh... sounds like you got the flavor text off of me... good effect on the card.
Fix the Post: The Keyword you're looking for is "Split Second"

Can't really grade the others due to lack of knowledge in those areas. Keep up the good work! *Thumbs Up*

BTW: MAGICCARDS.INFO IS BACK UP! WOOT!

Perhaps something along the lines of "what doesn't kill us will make us strong":

Critique,
Instant(C)
Put a +1/+1 token on target creature. It gains -2/-2 until end of turn.
The wording is off

I have no idea what I could do with Double post... what would you expect?

Liosan

The new Critique makes much more sense. I think double post should make you sacrifice the creature you give it to, since Pich destroys the 2nd post almost instantly.

EDIT: We should really be making creature cards, huh? But to do that we would need people to give us info about themselves... O)__(O
