Well, let's see. I play my already-OP 5/3 for 3 on turn 3. On turn 4, I then tap the creature with X=3 to give the ability "Whenever you control a permanent named "Cursed Scholar", you win the game" to itself. For three rounds. Not that it needs it.
If it has to be an ability that actually exists, I'll just give whatever the highest value Annihilator (I think it's Annihilator 6) to another creature, swing it, and force my opponent to sacrifice 6 permanents. Fair and balanced.
Can I persuade you to put an eye on the balance of my entries?Quote:

They're fine. Maybe they wouldn't be printable, but they're balanced enough.Quote:

That looks neat, from what I can make of it @Draconium.
It's still pun-pun levels of crazy. There's a huge list of keywords, any number of which your card can add or remove essentially at will.Quote:

I did.
I... play a red and white angel deck... I am not compatible with milling. My apologies, Amechra.Quote:

That means you get an effective debuffing card (if I'm looking at this right) that's super squishy.Quote:

That's [Evil], I'm sure of it.Quote:

Artifacts played this way come into play tapped and gain the following properties:
This card does not untap during the untap phase
Pay 2 life: untap this card
The cost might be a bit low but it runs a real risk of milling oneself
Few people are!Quote:

For Red Fel, because too many people skip the scheming part of Hell.
Stained Glass Demon4(U)(B)
Creature - Demon
Flying
When ~ enters the battlefield, exile all other permanents. For each permanent exiled this way, its owner puts a token into play that's a copy of that permanent.
5/5
Iffy on the costing...
No, [Evil] is...Quote:

And yes, the text does go off the end, don't judge me.
Doesn't the -10 ability result in an infinite loop? You gain life, which triggers the emblem, which makes you gain life, triggering the emblem...
No. The "and gain 10 life" is not part of the emblem, which I indicated by not including it under the quotation of the emblem's effects.Quote:

Is it? I actually wasn't aware of that. I'll probably go back and make a new one without the "gain 10 life" later, then.Quote:
