Thanks to corncob for the inspiration.

Berserker
RRR
Creature - Human
Haste
Attacking does not cause Berserker to tap.
RR4: Untap all creatures you control. After this phase, there is an additional combat phase followed by an additional main phase. Play this ability only any time you could play a sorcery.
2/2

Frenzied Berserker
RRR
Creature - Human
Haste
When Frenzied Berserker attacks, you may pay 4RR.  If you do, untap all creatures you control at end of combat.  After this phase, there is an additional combat phase.  
2/2

Is there any reason it doesn't tap to attack? Especially since it untaps itself.

Also, maybe you should only get the extra attack when this guy attacks. You shouldn't get a Reckless Assault if you keep this guy back.

You're right about the non-tapping when attacking...edited.

How would we word the stipulation that he too must attack to use the activated ability?

Play this ability only any time you could play a sorcery and only if Berserker attacked this turn.

Like that?  I'll do that for now.

When ~this~ attacks, you may pay (cost). If you do, untap all creatures you control at end of combat. After this phase, there is an additional combat phase followed by an additional main phase.

That would give you two combat phases in a row. If you want a main phase in between, just change it to:

...After your next main phase, there is...

That sounds better.  Also, I like the idea of combat phase after combat phase with no break in between.   More in flavor for the card, I think. Thanks.

You don't need to have the 'followed by an additional main phase' in  the text. Since you use its ability during the combat phase, you're going to get a main phase after it, anyway.

This looks like a playtest name.

RE: "play test name"

Yeah, you're right.  Perhaps the name should reflect some sort of command since he affects all of your creatures...like Barbarian Warlord or Berserker General or something along those lines.

I think it would be more flavourful if it was just for him:

Frenzied Berserker
4RR
Creature - Human Barbarian
3/3
Haste
Frenzied Berserker attacks each combat if able.
Whenever Frenzied Berserker attacks, you may pay 1R. If you do, untap it and after this phase, there is an additional combat phase. During that phase, only Frenzied Berserker may attack.

Ok, cool then.  I think the cc and the cost of the ability are good.  My only concern is the way the ability is worded.  I'm forever stuck in 1994 when it comes to templating, so I can never tell if it's correct.

I'll go on the asumption that the wording is cool and say 24.

I don't see why you need an additional Main Phase.

Wait! Am I wrong or it should just say "After this phase, there is an additional combat phase.". If you add "followed by an additional main phase" you will end up with TWO main phases: the one you normaly get plus the one got from this card. I could be wrong, but...

I think you all may be right.  I removed the "additional main phase" stipulation and cleaned up the text (the ability cost was written incorectly and the card's name was not right).
