Ghurhgs' YMTC 3!

[Ghurhgs]

Ok, so last time was a standard YMTC in its rules and glory. This time I was going to stray from that a bit and turn this around as best I could. Now, there are many more positions to fill as opposed to the other two (when I mean more I mean about 2). Sign up and first come first serve! Need at least 8 contestants; scorers optional. YOU CANNOT ENTER AND SCORE. ONE OR THE OTHER.

Scorers
-Ghurhgs
-Æther Reaper

Contestants
-evilrabbitman
-Maleficent
-Tekkactus
-Mad Mat
-Yawgmoth
-Starcore
-FuDaWg45
-Death_By_Beebles

Oh! Look at those wonderful positions! C'mon people I wanna see them FIIILLLLL....

[Æther Reaper]

I'll score if that is alright.

[evilrabbitman]

Contestant is I

[Maleficent]

I'm in, but of course.

[Tekkactus]

FWEEE!!!

[Mad Mat]

Count me in!

[Yawgmoth]

I could try this once more... The Phyrexian Lord desires to join this contest.

[Ghurhgs]

C'mon, we still need more people. there has to be more interest that just 6 people...

[Starcore]

As I don't know, is this a "Make your own card" contest? I'm totally in if it is.

[lionden_56]

Correct. This is a Y (you) M (make) T (the) C (card) contest.

[Starcore]

Okay. Then, count me in as a contestant, buddy.

(I see anagrams and such too often, and there's too many for me to pick up on, so sorry about that =P)

[Ghurhgs]

I suppose if nobody signs up by tomorrow night i'll have to start this...and with 6 people it's gonna go really fast and really easy.

[FuDaWg45]

I'd like to play, sounds fun.

[Death_By_Beebles]

I'm in! Gotta protect my title :D

[Ghurhgs]

Ok, now we can at least start. Here are everyones objectives (Once again, the names were randomly sorted):

Yawgmoth VS Starcore
~Create a creature that may have/makes you lose control of any of your permanents.

Maleficent VS Tekkactus
~Create a creature that feeds off other cards. (I.E.: hand,. library, etc.)

Vile Demon :3mana: :b: :b:
Creature - Demon
Fear
When Vile Demon comes into play, target player chooses creatures whose converted mana cost is equal to Vile Demon's. That player gains control of those creatures. If you don't have enough creatures for that player to take control of, that player gains control of Vile Demon.
A creature of such darkness and evil, even the most hated of men would rather fight it than fight alongside it.
5/5

[Ghurhgs]

:getdown:

[Ghurhgs]

Just to inform everyone, for this contest, i'm going to wait until all entries are in to begin judging. Since I am accompanied by Reaper, it's easier to jusde instead of constantly doing so. Round 1 entries are due by [b]Monday

[Starcore]

Didn't Yawgmoth say he was leaving the forum for awhile?

I don't really want a bye, I'd rather win or lose fair and square. If he's not going to be around for this, maybe we could replace him?

[Death_By_Beebles]

Wasteland Utopia
Legendary Land

T: Add to your mana pool one mana of any color a land you control could produce.
Sacrifice a non-token creature: Add one mana of that creature’s color to your mana pool.

[Yawgmoth]

Just saying that I will not compete within 'ere. Consider replacing me. *disappears*

[Ghurhgs]

Hmm....I understand our predicament now and here's what i'm gonna do. Starcore, you will join with Maleficent and Tekkactus and have the same objective. Though, two of you will move on where as one will be left behind. That's the best I can do.

[Einsteinmonkey]

I could replace, if you like.

[Yusuke]

so like a basic card for mine would be like

artifact
at the bou, if there is an enchant, crit, and land in play, everybody gets 8000000000 sap tokens.

would it be like that, cept less insane?

[Starcore]

Dammit...and I already had my card done...Ah well.

Devouring Demon :4mana: :b: :b:
Creature - Demon
Discard a card from your hand: Devouring Fiend gets +1/+1 until end of turn.
Put the top card of your library into your graveyard: Devouring Fiend gets +1/+1 until end of turn.
Remove a card in your graveyard from the game: Devouring Fiend gets fear or trample until end of turn.
It's hunger knows no bounds; an unquenchable thirst, a whetless appetite, and an insatiable taste for destruction.
3/3

I've always wanted to see a creature that could do a lot of stuff like this. I figured with the ease of use of his abilities, the 6 mana casting cost would be justified. 5 seemed a little bit too low (And in a proper format, it could be a first-turn card if you had the right stuff...dangerous thing that is).

[Ghurhgs]

Einstein you're welcome to enter...heh...um...i'd have to fix this again though and Starcore has already made two cards. Um.....ok

Starcore VS Einsteinmonkey
~Create a creature that may have/makes you lose control of any of your permanents.~

It's the same objective as last time Star, so your first card is ok.

[Starcore]

*Screams*

You're lucky. =P

[Einsteinmonkey]

Market Trader :3mana::u:
Creature - Merchant
Give control of target permanent you control to target opponent: Draw a card. Any player may play this ability but only any time they could play a sorcery.
2/2

[Starcore]

Einsteinmonkey: The rule was make a creature. *Points to Ghurhg's post*

[Einsteinmonkey]

Changed easily enough :lol:

[Yusuke]

Orb of Wrath - :6mana:
Legendary Artifact - Orb
~ comes into play tapped.
:w:, :tap:, Sacrifice 5 creatures: Destroy all creatures if there are 5 or more creatures on the field. They can't be regenerated.

[Maleficent]

Geezus, Devouring Demon is so horribly broken lol you could just put your whole library in your graveyard to give it +50/+50 and give it fear and trample by removing one card, yeesh. Not to mention putting your graveyard back into your library is not that hard...

[Starcore]

Technically it doesn't meet the new requirements.

Ghurhgs, can I alter?

Maleficent: Yeah, and someone can do something like Swords to Plowshares or Millstone my deck once or...lots of combinations that would kill me if I tried abusing it too hard.

[Einsteinmonkey]

All you really need to remove is about 20 cards. One heck of a deal compared to [card:5ed778a17a]Arc-Slogger[/card:5ed778a17a] (omg card tags!).

[Ghurhgs]

Alright, almost everyone entered. I never got an entry from Mad Mat or reapandplant so I will PM them and give em until tomorrow afternoon. I apologize but it was my fault that they have could've forgotten.

[reapandplant]

yeah, i forgot this thread, im in mafia 5. Sorry :oops:

back to stupidity 3GR

If target opponent controls more enchantments as you, destroy target enchantment and deal damege equal to twice its casting cost to target creature or player.
Then, if you control less creatures as your opponent, add a amount of red and green manaequal to the destroyed enchantment to your mana pool.

Down with the complicated thingys!
rushemdead, gruul guildmage

[Mad Mat]

Bloodstained Temple
Legendary Land
T: Add one mana of any color for each charge counter on ~ to your mana pool.
T, Sacrifice a creature: Put a charge counter on ~.

[Ghurhgs]

Ok, this time around I'm just going to give the scores alongside Reaper. I don't feel like the in-depth explanations and broken cards will probably be scored the same play-wise. When both Reaper and I give our scores, the combined best of the two contestants will be the winner. In the event of a tie, both players will move on instead, but will have a -1 effect to all future scores. Nyws..

Yusuke - 8/10. Good, though the name may seem a bit odd. If this is taking after Wrath Of God, as I imagine it to hence the name, would it be "Orb Of God?" Hmm..
VS
reapandplant - 2/10. Can't even tell if it's a permanent because it has no supertype and the ability makes it seem like an instant or sorcery.


FuDaWg45 - 6/10. Reminds me of Agrus Kos and doesn't seem like the most original ability I have seen. I'm sure Kos has a dual-color effect like this one and that's why your card is marked down.
VS
evilrabbitman - 7/10. I appreciate the way to bring flanking back, but this card is so horribly excellent it's ugly. For two white, any white creature can get HUGE. I'd say limit it to once per turn.


Death_By_Beebles - 8/10. Good land. Feeds off of both lands and creatures....though the second ability is really good; it doesn't even need to be tapped to activate!
VS
Mad Mat - 5/10. It only really feeds off of creatures and the charge counters stay on. It can be good without using other cards.


Maleficent - 9/10. I have to admit that this round was very hard for me to judge partly because both cards were verryy good. I liked yours just a smidgen better because of two things. 1.) the ability worked with any noncreature permanents, creatures, and your library. 2.) "unsatisfactory" is a fun word for a waiter.
VS
Tekkactus - 8/10. The only thing that I didn't like too much was the hybrid mana cost thrown about on this card. It would have been much better off having a blue instead for the cost of the card, and getting rid of the hybrid in activation cost.


Einsteinmonkey - 7/10. Both cards seemed equally good in effect and balance. I couldn't choose a winner so you both score the same.
VS
Starcore - 7/10. Same as above^^.

Remember, Reaper still can score you guys so there's a chance you can pull ahead.

[Æther Reaper]

I'll post scores tomorrow. I have some work to do today.

[Yusuke]

wow i scored high XD hopefully ill do that well next time

[evilrabbitman]

i picked random letters for his name

[FuDaWg45]

Dang it, I've never heard of Agrus Kos. Darn wotc stealing my ideas...

[evilrabbitman]

For two white, any white creature can get HUGE. - Ghurhgs


its when it gets blocked that it gets +2/+1

[Maleficent]

Um.. Ghurhgs.. I think you got Tekk and I mixed up. *curses* so close too :x (btw I added the weird hybrid mana for a couple reasons.. 1. it's different and 2. a bit of red lets the card make more sense, plus it has awesome instants to use with it :D)

[reapandplant]

didn't get the setting good, it confused me.

You've got these mixed up. The Baron was mine.

Holy crap, best score out of all! I didn't think it was that great! :!:

[Ghurhgs]

I apologize, I was trying to look back and forth because I had another tab open with the score entry so it may have confused me. Don't worry, because Reaper still has his scores and you can possibly get ahead.

[Æther Reaper]

Tekkactus - 7/10 Great blaggro card. However, I think it is weak compared to the old ritual - negator. Would have liked a 5/3, 5/4 from this.
vs.
Maleficient - 7/10 Too restrictive. Sure, it is powerful, but it should have removed instant and sorceries or instants straight from your deck. It probably won't last more than a two or three turns.

Death_by_Beebles - 7/10 The sac ability doesn't tap or have something to restrict its use in an aggro deck. Talk about breaking the symmetry of Wrath of God. "Look, I have four creatures. I play Wrath. I sac them all to plop down a creature." Okay... maybe not completely getting rid of the symmetry, especially with the non-token clause.
vs.
Mad Mat - 8/10 Nice job on this. It reminds me of the old storage lands.

FuDaWg45 - 3/10 Too overcosted. Worthless stats. His attack ability is good, but his defending ability got completely shafted. Hate it.
vs.
evilrabbitman - 5/10 For :w::w:, a white creature virtually gains +3/+2 when blocked. Ouch. Also, you worded it wrong, so I took off a bit for that.

Yusuke - 8/10 Decent.
vs.
Reapandplant - 0/10 If you can't play the card or utilize it in anyway, it is worthless.

Starcore - 5/10 Too powerful.
vs.
Einsteinmonkey - 8/10 Excellent card.

[Ghurhgs]

Ok, Reaper's scores have been entered and here are the total scores (bold names move on):

Tekkactus - 8/10
Yusuke - 8/10
Death_By_Beebles - 7.5/10
Einsteinmonkey - 7.5/10
Maleficent - 7.5/10
Mad Mat - 6.5/10
evilrabbitman - 6/10
Starcore - 6/10
FuDaWg45 - 4.5/10
Reapandplant - 1/10

The numbers were added together then divided by 2. I seems cooler liek that. I'll post Round 2 later. It's gonna be a 1v1 and a 1v1v1. There will be 3 winners and they will all compete for top 2, then the final.

[b]Fixed

[Æther Reaper]

Switch Tekk and Mal's names. Tekk has an 8/10 and Mal has a 7.5/10.

[evilrabbitman]

just so i know for the next round , how did i word it wrong

[Æther Reaper]

You worded it like an activated ability when it is triggered ability.

[Yusuke]

YAY i get to go on to the next round! get the things rolling, i want to get on to the next round!!

[Ghurhgs]

Ok ok ok, I made up the objectives. Names were randomly sorted k. The worst score of each grouping will be eliminated, leaving three.

Yusuke VS evilrabbitman
~Create a permanent that feeds off of drawing cards and gets hurt when playing them.

Tekkactus VS Death_By_Beebles VS Einsteinmonkey
~Create an instant or sorcery that works with cards removed from the game.

Grudge, anyone? :lol:

[Maleficent]

Man I suck at this. *waits for YMTC 4*

[Syphon]

*waits with Mal*

[Death_By_Beebles]

Orzhov's Will - :2mana: w/b w/b
Sorcery

Until end of turn, you may play cards removed from the game that you own as though they were in your hand. (Cards played this way go to the graveyard)

Whenever Orzhov's Will would go to the graveyard from anywhere, remove your graveyard from the game.


I think it'd designed correctly so that when you use a card RFGed, then that card goes to your grave so you can only play them once. I added a reminder text for clarification.

[Yawgmoth]

Orzhov's Will + Yawgmoth's Will = great fun (edit: Planar Void is also nice and that leyline thing)

*semi-waits for YMTC4*

[Yusuke]

ok so an exmple would be like (just giving ability)

at the beginning of draw step, draw 2 cards.
whenever you play a card from your hand, you lose 1 life.


like that?

[Ghurhgs]

Yeah, drawing any cards = good. Playing any cards = bad.

[evilrabbitman]

Originally posted by Ghurhgs

[Yusuke]

Cranial Expansion - :3mana::u::b:
Enchantment
At the beginning of each player upkeep, that player sacrifices a creature, then draws X cards, where X is that creature's converted mana cost.
Whenever eacher player plays a spell, that player loses X life, where X is equal to the number of cards in his/her hand.
"You want more knowledge? Here, lemme cram it in their for you."

[Yusuke]

ok.... is this dead?

[Tekkactus]

Seems like it. I was waiting for my competition to post so I had a gauge of what I should have, but neither of them have posted.

[Einsteinmonkey]

Memory Grasp :2mana::u::b:
Instant
If Memory Grasp is removed from the game, it cannot be moved to any other zone.
Until end of turn, if you would draw a card, lose 5 life unless you choose a card you own from outside the game and put it into your hand. Remove Memory Grasp from the game.

[Ghurhgs]

I just got word from evilrabbitman. He's been grounded so I'll just move all three of you to a final objective. I apologize for the long wait but...well...I kinda forgot this but I did PM rabbit a few days ago so...yeah.

EDIT: I totally forgot that Tekkactus was still in the game. This will be the semifinals then because there are 4 people. I'm sorry Tekk.

Semifinal Round
Tekkactus VS Yusuke
~Create a creature that uses monocolored, multicolored, and hybrid costs to activate it.~

Death_By_Beebles VS Einsteinmonkey
~Create a noncreature permanent that uses monocolored, multicolored, and hybrid costs to activate it.~

[Tekkactus]

Excuse me? Did I just get kicked out somehow?

[Einsteinmonkey]

Why don't you just switch Tekk's objective to evilrabbitman's one...

[Tekkactus]

I had a good idea since day one:

Unerring Recollection :4mana::r::r::u:
Sorcery

Choose a instant or sorcery you own that was removed from the game and play it without paying its mana cost. Shuffle that spell into your library. (Ignore Epic for this ability.)
If you have no cards in your removed from game area, you may search your library for up to 5 instants or sorceries and remove them from the game.
Epic

(For the record)

My actual entry:

Dead-Sun Arbiter :w::b::r:
Creature- Bird Mystic

Kicker :r: and/or :w::b::r: and/or :manawb:
If you paid the :r: kicker cost, when this comes into play, destroy target artifact.
If you paid the :w::b::r: kicker cost, when this comes into play, remove all other permanents from the game. At end of turn, return those permanents into play under their owners' control. ~ gains haste until end of turn.
If you paid the :manawb: kicker cost, each player sacrifices an enchantment.

5/3

[Yusuke]

Pardic Beast of Krosan - :r::g:
Creature - Beast
Morph :3mana::r:, :3mana::g:, or :2mana::r::g:
When ~ is flipped face up, if you paid the :3mana::r: morph cost, ~ becomes a 4/1 with first strike. If you paid the :3mana::g: morph cost, ~ becomes a 3/3 with trample. If you paid the :2mana::r::g: morph cost, ~ becomes a 5/3 with first strike and trample.
:manarg::manarg::manarg:: Flip ~ face down.
1/1

[Yusuke]

gah the ugly double post

dont die on us! i wanna know how i did XD

[Ghurhgs]

I'm not gonna die on you, i'm waiting for the other two contestants to enter so I can actually judge the scores.

[Tekkactus]

PM prod them! :evil:

[Death_By_Beebles]

I got prodded :P I've been thinking on this one for a while.

Hidden Webspitter - :1mana::w::g:
Enchantment

:1mana::g: :If ~ is an enchantment, ~ becomes a 3/4 Spider creature that can block as if it had flying until end of turn.
:1mana::w::g: : Put a web counter on target creature.
:2mana: :managw::managw: : Creatures with web counters have defender until end of turn.


EDIT: Changed letters to mana smilies.

[Einsteinmonkey]

Non-creature, Beebles...


Mind Choke :1mana::r::u:
Enchantment - Aura &reg;
Enchant creature
:r:: Gain control of enchanted creature until end of turn. It gains haste until end of turn.
:1mana::manaur:: Change the targets of target spell or ability targetting enchanted creature.
:u::r:, sacrifice Mind Choke: You gain control of enchanted creature. (This effect doesn't end at end of turn.)

we tied XD thats awesome. glad you liked it aether, i always was a fan of morph, so i thought id give it a prod.

would i get an extra point if it were of Krosa? XD

[Ghurhgs]

Hmm...(oh and flipping a coin isn't the safest way to determine this. Unless you'd like to arrange airfare to fly Tekkactus to Yusuke's house just to toss a quarter, call it, bid sayonara, then return home, be my guest.)...I need just 2 people for the final round so...ok I thought of something.

Semi-Final Finals
Tekkactus VS Yusuke
~Create a simple creature that can get big.

This will be judged out of 5 points this time and is kind of an easy task. Whoever does better moves on. Simple as that.

[Æther Reaper]

Not really. If I really wanted to break the tie, I could take off one point because pardic means it is from the Pardic mountains, which isn't possible if it is from the Krosan Forest... I think.

[Yusuke]

ok first... Pardic Beast of Krosan made emphasis on the fact that it was both red and green... emphasizing its two home environments... but whatev.

Unstable Firebird - :3mana::r::r:
Creature - Phoenix
Cumulative Upkeep - Put a +1/+1 counter on ~.

I don't think those are simple. What do you think, Ghurghs?

[Yusuke]

hey, its simpler than my last one XD

[Tekkactus]

You just hate them 'cause they're 5 mana! Racist!

[Yusuke]

XD i agree, even [card:0a466ac87d]Krosan Beast[/card:0a466ac87d] was :3mana::g:!

[Ghurhgs]

Yes, simple was a pretty bad creature, just mana cost and p/t, with effects to make it big. If I may...

Tekkactus
4/5
Good. I see the black and the green. Just, is the blue in the "may block any number" part of it? If so...ya.

Yusuke
[b]4/5
It has an ability requiring age counters, but no way of putting them on it. I don't see how someone playing this card would ever have to sacrifice it.

EDIT:...ah. I see. Well then, you both are tied again. Maybe Reaper can break it.

[Yusuke]

If you know cumulative upkeep, you wouild know that every turn you HAVE to put an age counter on it. that solves your "no way of putting them on it" problem. Cumulative upkeep reads:

Cumulative upkeep [cost] (At the beginning of your upkeep, put an age counter on this permanent, then sacrifice it unless you pay [cost] for each age counter on it.)

and there is NO NEED to sacrifice. it's entire purpose is a different flavorful interpertation of firebirds and phoenixes. Phoenixes grow in power until they burst into flames and become hatchlings again. i put it differently than [card:90d79623b9]Shard Phoenix[/card:90d79623b9] and the new firebird for a different flavorful interpertation. to stop the bird from becoming too powerful, it bursts into flames, starting anew (removing age counters and +1/+1 counters)

The middle of the game is shuffling your decks Urza days.

[Yusuke]

does it have to be the reaper? cuz, well, ive been working on death, in general. i got a pic and everything!

Kreyta, Essence of Death - :3mana::b::b:
Legendary Creature - Vizzerok Lord

First Strike, Haste, Trample
At the beginning of your upkeep, pay :b::b: or sacrifice ~.
:b::b::b:, :tap:: Remove target creature from the game.
5/3

[Maleficent]

I want to make one out of boredom!

Grim Reaper, Death Incarnate :2mana::b::b::b::b:
Legendary Creature - Spirit Horror

Haste, Fear
When Grim Reaper comes into play, remove each other creature from the game.
Whenever a creature comes into play, if Grim Reaper in untapped, remove it from the game.
Remove a creature you control from the game: Regenerate Grim Reaper.
3/1

(hey, it triggers Spiritcraft AND Phyresis :wink:)

How's that? Probably over-powered because of the regeneration.

[Ghurhgs]

Yes, Death as in the grim reaper; the pillager of souls; Billy & Mandy's slave friend.

[Yusuke]

does that mean mine doesnt count?

[Ghurhgs]

Well...artwork isn't necessary, but I need Death. Not a Vizzerok Lord; just Death. If you can change around that card then it would be cool.

[Einsteinmonkey]

Must it be a creature? (You used the word "embodiment"...)

[Yusuke]

ya, you say an embodiement... my guy is an embodiement!! XD well it looks like i'll have to work this around

[Ghurhgs]

Creatures or enchantments are accepted. As long as I see fit that it IS the Grim Reaper and how he can change gameplay.

[Einsteinmonkey]

Death :4mana::b::b:
Enchantment
Death is indestructible.
Whenever a creature comes into play, put X life counters on it, where X is that creature's toughness.
At the beginning of each player's upkeep, that player removes a life counter from each creature he or she controls.
When a creature has no life counters on it, its controller sacrifices it.

Edit:
Basic idea: Death is impartial and inevitable. The only question is, how long do you have?

[Yusuke]

Death - :3mana::b::b:
Legendary Creature - Death
If a creature would be put into a graveyard from play or removed from the game by a source other than Death, it stays in play instead.
At the beginning of your upkeep, pay 2 life or remove Death from the game.
:b::b::b:, :tap:: Remove target creature from the game.
3/3

Basic idea: Death controls what lives and dies, so the only way something can die is if he wills it. Of course, you have to pay for his services XD.

[Einsteinmonkey]

I editted in my basic idea.

Interesting how we've chosen almost opposite aspects, eh?

[Yusuke]

ya, i like how we both represented complete opposite aspects.

Yours is that death is always inevitble, while mine is Death actually killing people... i liked Family Guy's Reaper, so i thought of how he would do it XD.

May the best man win... even tho i still like Kreyta XD

[Ghurhgs]

I don't want to seem like I rushed the scores, but i'm leaving for the weekend and I don't want to keep you guys in any suspense. Æther Reaper, whoever wins you can make them a cool trophy or if there is a tie, make up an objective. You'll rule for the rest of the game because I won't be here.

Death :4mana::b::b:

-Death is indestructible.
-Whenever a creature comes into play, put X life counters on it, where X is that creature's toughness.
-At the beginning of each player's upkeep, that player removes a life counter from each creature he or she controls.
-When a creature has no life counters on it, its controller sacrifices it.

SCORE: 9/10. You know what, I was gonna give you an 8 because Yusuke's appealed more to me but you both deserve a 9 because I can't choose a better card.

[Einsteinmonkey]

:starwars:

[Yusuke]

just a note to all of you reading my card, the pay 2 life or remove negates the "crits cant be removed" thing. i had a hard time wording that XD

[Æther Reaper]

-At the beginning of your upkeep, pay 2 life or remove Death from the game.
-:b::b::b:, :tap:: Remove target creature from the game.
3/3

SCORE: 4/10. Uhh... no. The first ability is ridiculous. How many infinite loops can you make with just black sacrificing cards? Carrion feeder for one mana! Besides that, it just feels like a Shauku, Endbringer without the bigger body and it can attack.
