is this what you are trying to get in your sig? use [img] tags.


congrats hordes on your clanship

[Emperor Crusty]

thanks

[stolin]

of course :D

this is the last time i post in your clan thread, but you should start thinking about clan contest #1.

[Emperor Crusty]

waiting on leader to figure out what is our move

[Sir_Zynk]

1st clan contest!


On to the contest:

Your clan must come up with a card mechanic that is completely and totally unique from all magic sets including CELIXIA. Once you have come up with that, you must submit how your mechanic works, and then have 5 cards that use that mechanic.

Contest Deadline: 10/09


Well any good ideas boys? How about something with graveyard meets cycling, :P

Decompose - Play only if this card is in your graveyard
Pay 2, remove ~foo~ from the game and draw a card.

[Emperor Crusty]

well i have an idea but needs work. i should have a couple of cards made in a couple of days.

[Ghurhgs]

I had a whole article on mechanics but there are some sleuths around trying to pilfer ideas (sneaky sneaky) so i'll PM you guyses the message. Oh and Sir_Zynk, may I have permission to post on the CS board?

[Sir_Zynk]

Ghurhgs, you have ideas about clan activities? if so go a head :)

[Ghurhgs]

So what do you guys think of the mechanics? We should get creating soon.

[Emperor Crusty]

ok you three, you have my idea of what i was thinking, so what do you think? they are themed. 8) too complex?
Edit: dang i forgot Dame'on is a 3/4 creat, i hate missing small details like that.

[Ghurhgs]

Alright clan, Crusty and I have been working behind-the-scenes on a mechanic and I think we finalized it. Transcendance. The basis is having a card, pretty decent by itself but use its Transcendance ability and it becomes something new altogether. Here's an example of how its used on a creature (NOTE: not a real card).

Funny Monkey 2G
Creature - Monkey

-Giggle: tap target creature.
-Transcendance: remove this creature from the game. At the end of turn, put a 4/4 green ape token into play with trample and provoke.
2/2

Now, here's an instant/sorcery use:

Funny Spell XG
Instant

-Prevent X damage to target creature this turn.
-Transcendance: as an optional additional cost to play this card, sacrifice two creatures. Then, put X 1/1 green moneky tokens into play where X is the total converted mana cost of the sacrificed creatures.

And, an enchantment noe:

Funny City 2WW
Enchantment

-All creatures you control gain trample.
-Remove a charge counter from Funny City: target creature gets +2/+2 until end of turn.
-Transcendance: discard X cards: put X charge counters on this card where X is equal to the number of cards discarded x 2. This ability can only be used once.

Of course, there are alternate instances to Transcendance, but it's a solid mechanic, one that can alter the game for you and ruin it for your opponent. Imagine them staring down 12 1/1 monkeys. That's bananas! (heh...). I hope you guys go along with this...

[Sir_Zynk]

Transcendance mechanic is ... how should I say it, complex, shouldn't be changing by the card type, thou it's totally unique... but I'd rather not take it to competition.

but I think I found one I'd like to work with...


Ghurhgs:
Chaos X (when this creature comes into play, sacrifice X permanents. If you don't, counter this creature and it deals X damage to each creature and each player.)

It's broken yes, but maybe we can work it out a bit. the "final" version should look like something like this...

Chaos X (when comes into play, sacrifice X permanents. If you don't, sacrifice this ~foo~ and it deals X damage to each creature and each player.)

So this can be creature and enchanment mechanic, but it's ok. there's couple points I'd like to share with ya.
1) Because of the sacrifice we can add additional feature like , when ~foo~ is put in to graveyard from to game.

2) The ruling for the "comes into play" effect only trickers when card is played from hand, so this can't be used in recursion too easily.

3) There should be way we'd determ the X in chaos activation...

4) The stack ruling..... Some abilities, might be able to be used when comes into play.


Here's couple cards that use the mechanic.

--------

1WW
Blessed Legionaire
Creature - Desert legionaire - Rare
Chaos 5
Whenever ~foo~ recieves damage, add that many +1/+1 counters on it instead
When enchanted, can't be target of further spells or effects.
0/6

Berserk Legionaire
Creature - Chaos legionaire - Rare

7/5

--------

1BB

When ~foo~ is put in a graveyard from anywhere sacrifice a permanent.
BB, Regenerate
5/2

Chaotic Pinetree
Enchament - Chaos - Uncommon
Chaos 3
Sacrifice, add GGGGG to your manapool.
1, tap two creatures you control, add GGG to your manapool.
When ~foo~ is put in a graveyard from anywhere two lands.

--------

1U
Library
Enchanment - Chaos - Common
Chaos 1
Sacrifice, counter target spell and draw two cards
When ~foo~ is put in a graveyard from anywhere discard two cards

[Sir_Zynk]

ok ppl. so we can either vote for the

The [DeckMechs]

Flash-Tap, Remove a divinity counter from ~r: Remove target spell from the stack, then return that spell's card to its owner's hand.

Or

Forum [Wizards]

Tremor- (When ~ comes into play, tap all permanents that don't share a color with it)


... so lets discuss..
I'll vote for Flash. thou Tremor ain't really bad either.
but I'd have tons of combos for flash ^^

[Emperor Crusty]

dechmechs - flash ok but don't like spell stack removal seems like playing a lot of a built in boomerang and force of will for free without the loss of discarding a blue card each time.
wizards - good ability, but requires you and opponent to tap all permanents that do not share a color with played permanent that could work in favor of you or opponent, it interesting.
but all in all - my vote will go to dechmechs.

[Ghurhgs]

You guys like Flash? I think it could be worded a lot better and divinity counters make a permanent indestructible, not what they have. I'm going with forum wizards but majority is against me right now.

[stolin]

[b]Please submit your clan votes for the winner of clan contest #1 asap

[Ghurhgs]

You already voted!? What about crystal dragon's vote? He could've tied up our opinion...

[Sir_Zynk]

Ghurhgs... true, but stolin wanted the vote asap....

Please submit your clan votes for the winner of clan contest #1 asap
and the vote was currently 2 to 1 so....

[Ghurhgs]

Did this clan die!?

[stolin]

[b][Clan Contest#2 submissions are due today at 11:59-stolin]

[Ghurhgs]

I'm sorry Zynk, but i'm resigning from the clan. No one is ever on and nobody has even tried to make an effort for Clan Contest #2. Again, i'm sorry but our clan can't win if no one participates.

[stolin]

[b][Please submit your vote for the best clan entry in the Clan Contest #2 thread asap so we can move on to CC#3.thanks-stolin]

[Sir_Zynk]

... so generally speaking Hordes go inactive ^^

[CrystelDragon]

yea kindof :?

[Sir_Zynk]

sniff.. to be "clan leader" and not able to delete posts :P oh well..

well since there's one other undead clan which ain't quite as dead as we are, I think it would be appropriate to gather our stuff and move in with our new "allies". there by meaning phyresians or which ever you want to... any ways

I hereby use the power invested to me and declare Hordes of Lim-Dûl dead.
we lasted some time atleast =)

[Neuromancer]

MWAHAHA! The Hordes were assimilated by the Order of Phyrexia!

Now it's a matter of time before the Order falls and joins the ranks of the Deckmechs!

[stolin]

[b][Yeah right :roll: , thread closed.-stolin]
