Recent updates to Multiverse Design Challenge: (Generated at 2025-05-21 03:36:45)
For Challenge # 038. I think all the effects are fairly-costed, but they could certainly be tweaked.
Yow, yep, this is an even quicker kill with Hive Mind than four Pact of the Titan would be.
Time Machine plus DFCs is absurd and I may have to build that deck.
Well, you can always directly resign, but yes, if there's other players, you could play this so at least the shaharazad player hopefully loses in time :)
Another good use of it is with Hive Mind out, either yours, or against someone else's, when (if I read the rules right) you instantly win :)
Time machine + DFCs...
Good question. Is the "Turn X" referring to the mana cost of the permanent (0) or the card (whatever the real cost is)? Since it says "creature" not "card" I think it must be referring to the permanent, in which case it will put it into play on turn 0...wait while I hurriedly check the FAQ..."Since the game doesn't start until turn 1 ... the Ornithopter is merely already in play when the first turn starts."
Thought of another one - taking out the guy who starts a new game; or a shaharazad. I mean; frankly, it's worth conceding to get out of the never ending loop.
And, crud, yes, in a time limited tournament a timely concession from a (slowly) losing position could be worth it.
Also: Ouchie. Time machine + DFCs...
ROFL. Yeah, that's funny. It's so ridiculous (and probably a bit too narrow to be printed in a normal expansion) but it probably IS fairly costed, and DOES have uses:
Possibly too aggresively costed (!) since you can be immune to losing the game, or on a team... Black likes to sacrifice things :)
For Challenge # 038 : ((((See Cost)))) Mainly for the pun in the casting cost; it's intended to be almost a hard counter - when the game ends (hopefully in your victory) they get it back. Which might just be in time, maybe.
Wording probably doesn't work to do that; but for that casting cost, who cares?

Heh, d'oh, memory failure :P
Nice. Sadly it looks like Tarmogoyf put sorceries as one of the last two.
LOL. Yeah, so far in non-phyrexian blue we've had

If I'm right,

are available, plus all 6CMC, plus all-U mana costs at everything above 2 :)
ROFL, that's great.
Yeah, a card is definitely a cost, so zero-cost cards are definitely valid. Zero-cost instants are risky because you never know when you can be safe from them, but are ok sometimes (phyrexian mana went a bit far, but was fine in theory). And I'm happy with nerfing planeswalkers, although I don't know if wizards would be or not; I think this would be playable in many standard decks if there were many plansewalkers in the metagame, because they're just so good. (Though I'm not sure.)
Iona's Judgment looks like the closest white has to pure "Exile target creature, no giving its owner life or anything, even if it isn't attacking right now" Though Path to Exile seems pretty damn hot.
Seems like something they're probably avoiding, so as not to force "All other exile effects with a downside have to be cheaper than this", though
seems pretty cheap, really.
Very nice. Reminiscent of Last Stand. Good balancing of power levels: I think these effects cost
, 
, 
, 
, and about 
. It's interesting that mono-white hasn't had "Exile target creature" yet (although Bant Charm comes close), only hybrid in Unmake. The green effect seems to be the cheapest based on Stonewood Invocation as comparison, but it's still a very strong effect to pull out at instant speed.
I wanted
, but Vitenka got there first. Eventually I found a cost that's not yet been taken: Reject the Obscure at 
.
Created for Challenge # 038. Although it's got a silly flavour, I think the point is perhaps valid: if a counterspell's targets are sufficiently restricted, perhaps it could be feasible to have a cost of
?
@Alex - not quite. Odds // Ends copies the spell and you may choose new targets. My idea is that your opponent gets either 0 spells or 2 of the same spell.
Also, the potential for this to turn Giant Growth into Overrun somewhat scares me. But it's of course not reliable unless you've got Krark's Thumb, so I'm sure it's fine.
I think cmeister's version in the comments is Odds // Ends, isn't it?
I'm liking this. Though I'm still not surer whether I should use it to defend my stuff, or to try to copy my giant growth.
Which is probably the sign of a good red random.
added instant/sorc
I kinda wanted to make this effect as an instant for
- I couldn't figure out how to word it. I really wanted "Target target spell. Flip a coin. If you win, counter that spell. If you lose, that spell's controller copies it and may choose new targets"
