Point, though he is already a bit of a burden since you need to pay mana each time you attack.The Yosemite Bear wrote:you forgot sacrifice intern card or pay (2) mana to tapLord Zentei wrote:One more for the road:

Something different:
Not sure if the special rule is entirely appropriate (except that A-stan obviously is a glorified "mountain" type land)... still, those local tribes produce a helluva bunch of militiamen....
EDIT: BTW, the pic is from the Tora Bora region.
EDIT 2: In the spirit of this series, I made the advantage a tad disadvantageous.

I am not happy with it but it was the best i could do. Dose anyone have a better pic or a better idea for an ability. Also I don’t like the fact that he is good.
If there was room I might have added a flavour text like. “People really hate him that much” or something.

http://images.search.yahoo.com/ is a good source of images.
As for a disadvantage, how about modifying his ability: "place a hate counter on target creature and one creature you control. Creatures with hate counters attack each turn if able."
Or add: when Fred Phelps comes into play place a hate counter on three creatures you control.
BTW: which card editor program are you using?

Good idea. I like the attack each other if able bit because it shows him as a manipulator. I am just using photoimpact on pictures i get from anycraze.com. I doing it this way so I can get the new card backgrounds (I like them better).Lord Zentei wrote:http://images.search.yahoo.com/ is a good source of images.

Since I had done A-stan:
EDIT: perhaps a bit too valuable. Maybe I should nerf it down to two black mana...
EDIT 2: Nerfing complete.

Girlie Man!
Red Enchantment.
Cost 2R.
Must have Governator in play to cast.
Place on any other player with Blue cards in play. They may not spend more than 2Any mana on non-creature cards each turn.

Voila.
3 mana since it is pretty potent...
EDIT: not entirely happy with the image though. If anyone has anything better, by all means link it.

Wouldn't a shot of him actually saying "girlie man" be more appropriate?
Or maybe a picture of the guys he was calling girlie men?

I'm not sure that a talkie bubble would look good on a MtG card, though. As for the other option, who was it who he called "girlie man", and do you know of an appropriate shot?

Unless their controlling player pays 1 for each attacking Soldier (otherwise there isn't any effect). Possbly "for each attacking Creature" instead, since Soldier cards are not really very common.Glimmervoid wrote:What about this for a card.

Global enchantment.

Soldiers can not attack unless there controller pays 0 for each attacking soldier.

Also you can add "If more than half the players in the game vote to permit an attack, this cost is waived" and "This does not affect Terrorists".

The point was to show how any one can just ignore the UN so that why the 0 cost. You said your self these cards are not suppose to be useful.

Though of course this way, the UN is counterproductive.
...
Nah, as satire, you are right. Perhaps you could drive it home by having a vote requirement, but then players may attack anyway, or in any turn that players do not pay an upkeep cost UN gets tapped, and the vote procedure only takes place if UN is not tapped.

Trailer Park

tap trailer park to produce one red mana
(3) tap trailer park to produce one Redneck token, counts as a 1/1 creature.
Trailer park is destroyed any time a spell is cast that effects more then one card.

We need some generic creatures for these to effect!
U.S. Marines: R2
Summon Soldier
Whenever U.S. Marines attacks, if you have Donald Rumsfeld in play, flip a coin. If heads, sacrifice U.S. Marines and deal 2 damage to defending player. If tails, U.S. Marines deal no damage.
"In the Marines, they teach us not to piss on our hands!"
2/2
"Stars & Stripes" RU
Instant
Terrorists gain -1/-1 until end of turn and can't attack. Soldiers gain +1/+1 until end of turn and are tapped.
"Oh, say can you see...!"
U.S. Navy: U4
Summon Soldier(s)
Tap: Destroy target creature opponent controls. Opponent chooses a second creature to destroy and puts 3 1/1 Angry Civilian tokens into play.
3/3
"In the Navy, they teach us to wash our hands!"

Also doing some and looking at these cards has inspired me. Would anyone like to work together and make a starwars or general sci fi set or something?
