Inspired by the works of H. P. Lovecraft.

I'm reading the collected works of H. P. Lovecraft right now, and a lot of the ideas trigger card ideas in my head. I'm going to put all of them here. There will probably be a lot of death triggers, sacrifice effects, and hand and library manipulation.

Destroy target non-Lizard creature.
Put a +1/+1 counter on each Lizard creature you control.

In the fiendish clawing of the swirling currents there seemed to abide a vindictive rage.
Enchant land an opponent controls
Whenever enchanted land becomes tapped, create a black Rat creature token with "This creature's power and toughness are each equal to the number of Rats on the battlefield."

For each creature that died this turn, create a 2/2 green Cat creature token.
He had at twilight seen all the cats of Ulthar in that accursed yard under the trees, pacing very slowly and solemnly in a circle around the cottage.
At the beginning of each combat step, you may create a 1/1 blue Human Pirate creature token. Exile that token at end of combat.
They say that the Terrible Old Man talks to these bottles, and that whenever he speaks to a bottle the little lead pendulum within makes certain definite vibrations as if in answer.
Search your library for a creature card and put it onto the battlefield, then shuffle. Sacrifice X creatures, where X is the mana value of the creature put onto the battlefield this way.
But the fact remained that on a summer night a bolt had come out of the heavens and left a dead village whose corpses were horribly mangled, chewed, and clawed.

Yeah, this is a stupid card. But it's a design from 9 years ago, so shrug
That's not exactly how X works :S

I think I would generally play with an empty board and pull out some absurdly high costed creature with an immensely powerful ETB and/or death trigger. Like hmmm, Hypnox stacking the order which results the opponent losing their hand permanently. Ashen Rider would be a double exile-vindicate which is nice. Prolly breaks Protean Hulk the way Flash did, no? There are prolly countless abusive stuff like that.
I'm just doing an errata pass, but sure :)
This seems to exhibit the main reason players don't get cheap instant speed discard - it locks down your draw. And this costs them life while you do it. Needs upcosting a bit.
Not sure what this was referencing anymore. Turn Aside seems like it would be an acceptable white counterspell. (Note this originally only protected spells, not permanents.)
As would something trinket text like:
: ~ cannot be blocked UEOT.
I feel like "can't block" would really be appropriate here.
Should probably have cycling or some modal aspect due to its narrow nature unless the set has a ton of counter-magic.
Narrow cards should be tailored to their limited environments. Most limited decks will play few instants, however if a set has a lot of good instant speed removal or instant speed token generation, Dispel is a slightly less narrow card.
Annul showed up in Theros and Saga which were both enchantment heavy sets and in Mirrodin which was very artifact heavy, meaning they would frequently have targets. In other sets, it would have been far worse.
Narrow cards should have a payoff as an insensitive to playing them.
Ancient Grudge is extremely efficient despite only destroying artifacts. Cards like Bant Charm, Dimir Charm], and Urgent Exorcism are narrow but still playable due to their versatile nature. One of their modes are likely to find a target. Appetite for the Unnatural and Artisan's Sorrow are wider but provide a lesser payoff, gaining life and scrying respectively. They were also both in sets with a lot of artifacts and enchantments respectively, making them good in limited.
Yeah, this needs to be costed like Zombify.
This card is broken. Putting creatures into your graveyard is easy as is exiling them (Delve). In practise this a just a one mana reanimation spell.
