Challenge accepted. I stole the zero-cost away from you guys with Jolrael's Charm. Hey, Link! Did you mean a mana cost that hasn't previously been done before? Because we're going to run out of converted mana costs pretty fast. 1, 2, 3, 4 & 5 are technically not options.

Making a hybrid charm with Mirko's Charm.

ETA`: Wait, there have been CMC4 and 5 charms??

Created (((Temporal Charm)))

on 15 Jul 2013 by Link:

Yeah, sorry. I did mean mana cost.

Oh, and 6. I'm counting Austere Command, Cryptic Command and Incendiary Command. They don't say 'Charm' and evolve the mechanic. But they count, in my opinion. They even fit Link's definition in his flavor text.

I made Celestial Charm.
And yes, I would count the Command cycle as charms.

on 15 Jul 2013 by Alex:

I created Spontaneity Charm, filling in the colours that Link's design wasn't.

on 15 Jul 2013 by Alex:

I probably wouldn't count the Commands as charms, because so far "charm" has meant exactly three options, and the Commands have four (well, actually six). But I'm happy to accept a little bit more restriction to inspire creativity.

on 15 Jul 2013 by Alex:

Created Crystal Charm at {1}{u} (because astonishingly there's no printed Magic charm with that cost).

on 16 Jul 2013 by Jack V:

­Zombie Charm, using 1B, and being (duh) zombie themed.

on 16 Jul 2013 by Jack V:

And I made Steel Charm in cards with no home, because it's charm-like and uses the mana cost of {1}, but doesn't meet the terms of the challenge, it being nearly unheard of to have a colourless instant or sorcery.

on 16 Jul 2013 by Circeus:

How about a colorless Eldrazi Charm instead?

on 16 Jul 2013 by Jack V:

And a three-colour-wedge charm Oros Charm

on 16 Jul 2013 by Circeus:

Wanted to try my hand at a wedge one too: Teneb's Charm

on 16 Jul 2013 by Jack V:

­Bane Alley Charm at {u}{b}, using "choose any number"

on 17 Jul 2013 by jmgariepy:

­Magma Charm for the very unexciting {3}{r} slot.

on 17 Jul 2013 by Jack V:

I also want to make a really terse charm. The best I can come up with is to have a blue sorcery with "Choose one - scry N; or proliferate; or end the turn", but they don't really go well together. Are there any better ideas for one and two word effects, or short three word effects?

on 17 Jul 2013 by Vitenka:

Challenge met, lovely terse effects on: Victory Charm somewhat cheatingly, Tim's Charm attempts this direction too.

Alex meanwhile made Omnipotence Charm.

on 18 Jul 2013 by Camruth:

I added (((Gladiator Charm)))

on 18 Jul 2013 by Jack V:

­Hope // Despair costing W//B with six modes :)

I revisited this challenge in combination with Challenge # 114, creating Kyren Charm and Rishadan Charm.
