You Make The Card Contest - November 2008

Okay, I thought I'd start up a YMTC contest (not "you make the comic").

Here's the rules:

1. This contest is open to everyone who is a mtgvault member
2. It will continue until intrest is lost (hopefully never)
3. Don't break any of the mtgvault.com guidelines or rules (if we even have any)
4. About November 20, 2008, I will open a poll allowing you to vote for your favorite card.

Card rules:
1. Can be any color, supertype, subtype, etc.
2. Make card's abilities justifiable by its mana cost
3. Can post the card outline* (like Magic R&D uses), or a picture from a card creation website
4. Failure to follow these rules will exclude your card from voting on Nov. 20th

*here's an example:

George W. Bush 2WW

Legendary Creature-Human Politician

[Tap], Sacrifice a Creature: Destroy target Land

McCain didn't win the election?

1/4

(Cards don't have to be joke cards, like the one above)

Good idea guys, I've created the new forum for you and moved this thread there. I'd suggest that for now we just take card ideas in this thread (for this months cards) and then on the 20th create a new thread with the voting poll for this month's competition. At the end of the month the card with the most votes will win!

After that if this proves successful we can create a new thread where people can post cards for next months competition and so on...

Good luck to all who enter! :)

Woah man, how'd you become a moderator??!?

I want to be one!

Temple of Ages

Land- Temple

Temple of Ages is all colors.

Temple counts as a basic land type.

{T}: Add one mana of any color to your mana pool. You may only use this ability if you control three or more basic land types.

(3),{T}, Sacrifice Temple of Ages: Search your library for a basic land of any type and put it into play tapped. If that card is a mountain, Temple of Ages deals 2 damage to target creature or player. If that card is a plains, you gain 2 life. If that card is a swamp, return target creature from your graveyard to play until end of turn, it gains haste. If that card is an island, draw 2 cards. If that card is a forest, search your library for a forest card and put it into play tapped. If that card is a temple, add (5) to your mana pool.

Want another one?

Liquidize (R)(r/u)(U)
Instant
As an additional cost to play Liquidize, deal 3 damage to target creature you don't control and 3 damage to target creature you do control.

If you used (U)(U) to play liquidize, creatures your opponent controls become Islands and gain, "If this creature becomes tapped, pay (U) or you lose the game" until end of turn, and creatures you control gain islandwalk until end of turn.

If you used (R)(R) to play liquidize, creatures you control get +2/-2 until end of turn, and liquidize deals 2 damage to each creature you don't control.

[QUOTE=MagicMan514]randomryan how did you become a moderator?[/QUOTE]

When I started this contest, I showed the idea to Gary, and I also expressed how a moderator should have control over the entries and polls. He asked if I was up to the job, and I said yes. And the differences between Mods and Members?

1. Mods can remove offensive posts
2. We are cooler

Thats about it. There may be more differences, just not to my knowledge.
