The Berzerker
RRR
Creature -- (Legendary?) Barbarian
2/2
All of your phases during your Turn are combat phases instead of normal phases.


I think this would be a totally cool card, I dont really know how powerfull it would actually be though, well Rate please and Help with the wording on that. And if anyone could think of some cool flavor text it would be nice.

I don't think this card works at all. Sure, you'd get five combat phases each turn, but because you no longer have a beginning phase, none of your permanents would ever untap, so that would hinder things. Because you'd never have a main phase, you couldn't ever cast new creatures or cast sorceries. Without an end phase, things that last "until the end of turn" would last until the end of your opponent's turn. This includes damage dealt to creatures during your turn.

I don't think any of the above effects is good and the problems this card generates certainly outweigh the "cool" factor of getting five attack phases each turn.

Did you know that Red is the color or art and music and passion? Combine that with Green, the color of nature, spiritualism, and community and you get a hippie commune of drum circles, dreamcatchers, and recreational drug use. Let's see that win a Pro Tour.

This tells it all.  The only way this could be made into a usable card is if it did the same for your opponents.  That way it is a lockdown unless they have a bigger creature than your barbarian.

What about a creature that attacks without tapping and has an activated (but expensive) Relentles Assult ability?

Creature Name
RRR
Creature - Whatever
Attacking does not cause ~this~ to tap.
RR4: You recieve an additional combat phase this turn.
2/2

...or however such effects are worded these days.

:shock:

This card does not work on so many levels.

That would work best as "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."

You could leave the Untap bit out though.

I think that might make for a pretty cool card...

Berzerker
RRR
Creature - Human
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

If the thread  starter does not want the above idea, I may make a new thread with it.  

Thanks for the proper wording, by the way.
