Hi, due to a horrible lack of free time, I haven't posted anything in a while, but I'll take advantage of some unexpected time to post three cards which I've given some thought to. My english is not good at all (spanish, german and arabic I speak better, so english would be my fourth languaje). Because of that, my card names and flavour text are pretty bad (to the point where I basically give up on trying to come up with any, and just give you a basic idea of what Im looking for, and let you decide). Anyway, heres a card I think would get a lot of play in T1, as well as in other formats.




Mana Recicler (Got a good name?)
{G}
Enchant Creature
When enchanted creature is put into a graveyard from play, add mana equal to that creature's mana cost to your mana pool.
"Insert flavour text here.... (Probably something about the essence of living things continuing to exist and blah blah)




The flavour is something along the lines of a creatures soul, or essence continuing to linger after death, or maybe something like regrowth, but definately green. It started out costing 1G, but seeing that it makes card disadvantage, being a creature enchantment, I decided to cut it down, I really can think of it being broken, because if you have an expensive creature out anyway, you could just win with it, and if your opponent has it youd want to destroy at as well, and using two cards to generate mana isnt that big of a deal, especially since the creature being destroyed would have to cost more than the destroy spell and this.... well Ill let you decide about the card.
Remember it can be slapped on an opponents creature as well. Has potential to be abused, by goblin welder for example (although there are so many better ways to abuse welder) or FCG. This produces coloured mana equal to the creatures cost.
Sorry for not putting in any text.

Isn't this a lot worse than that Legends card?
Edit: stupid Chronicles. I meant Metamorphosis.

Well... its not strictly worse, since you can cast it on an opponents creature, and you can use the mana to play anything you want. Even so, I can see I was too cautious when making the card, so Ill just change it back to the a bit overpowered version I was thinking of originally. I was trying to come up with one mana enchantments that could help abuse enchantress, being my favorite deck in all formats.

After the edit, its quite a bit more powerful, since you can use the mana generated with it to continually recast it. I think its especially nice after a mass removal spell, potentially netting you quite a lot of mana.

The current wording is not bad, I suppose. You need to specify what color the mana is, even if it's colorless. And I think the word you're looking for is "recycler".

Lack of replies for this card can mean 2 things:

1) The card is so bad it should be closed, but in that case it would have tons of flamy replies.
2) The card is completely finished and ready (probably not)
3) Its balanced and good, just no really eye-catching.

Meaning that:



24 hour clock!!!!!


maybe this way it will get some flavour text. if it doesnt, I really dont mind it taken without any.

Read the rules and you'd know:

6. Once the 24h. clock has passed, you must PM myself and Matt. State whether you want us to add it to the master thread or merely close it. Include a link to the card in your PM or it will not be added.
