False Mox
1
Artifact
If an artifact or creature is tapped to produce mana, it is destroyed.
t: Sacrifice False Mox to add 1 to your mana pool.


Just seems like a good way to slow down decks. Also a good way to even things out if you cant afford any power cards. Im just tired of playing against speed decks that rely on Moxen or BOP or other fast mana.

Wow... I don't know if this is strong, weak or insane.

Anyway, there are some issues with the post. At the bottom of the post (or as a separate post), you need a current wording in bold with something to denote that it's the current wording, plus you need to leave the original wording (relatively) untouched so we have something to guide us forward as we 'develop' the card.

That aside, here's one way to word this highly interesting card:

False Mox
1
Artifact
Whenever a non-land permanent produces mana, destroy it.
T: Add 1 to your mana pool.

It doesn't need to be sacrificed because it will die to its own triggered ability anyway.

This is actually nothing like a Mox, but a lot more like Standstill. However, the opponent cannot just walk into this like he can into Standstill, sio I'd say this is actually just better Surprised

Ummm...... i havent made any revisions, and it is in bold sooooo im not really sure what you are talking about.......

Also, I know its nothing like a mox, but it kills them Smile ... The name just seemed like it fit for some reason, I havea picture for this card in mind with all the Mox stones crumbeling... the concept of the name is a ruse..... its liek adding something to a group that doesnt fit, but actually corrupts instead... man i just realized how much i like the (...) thing... see there it goes again ! geez i hope its not annoying...

See any card that I have designed. You are supposed to have an initial wording that is not bold and a current wording that is bold. That way, one can see at a glance where the card came from and where it is now. I use separate posts for my cards, but that isn't strictly necessary. You can simply have the card printed twice in your first post -- first in plaintext and second in bold.

Gorilla Shaman costs three, and takes mana to eat moxen. I think this should be costed at two or three.

Gorilla Shaman costs R.  It can also down a mox at any time, not just when it's tapped for mana.  It'll never kill your own moxen unless you want it to, it gets Will Bendered, or you get Mindslavered.  It's also a creature.  They really can't be compaired.

This card has a similar effect to Damping Matrix, which costs 3.  Sure, it's more restriced, but it's also more powerful with what it does.  Maybe make this cost 2?  Godder's wording is definitely closer to what I think it should be.  If worded like that it would kill enchantments that gave mana though, such as Carpet of Flowers, Wild Growth, Dawn's Reflection, etc.  If that's not intended, it would have to be closer to the initial wording.  I like the idea of it being able to kill itself if you want to end the effect.  It gives it more depth and makes it into more of a thinking card.

Honestly, i kind of like the idea of it only poping creatures and artifacts..... beacuse it could then see new decks built around the enchantment producers. I als olike it at 1 because it restricts you from using moxen or elves or BOPs, therefore the 1 doesnt seem to low because you would have to be careful with it.
