Thanks for linking the program, by the way.

Yeah, that's OK. Though I didn't exactly link the progeam, I gave the name. You must have Googled it.

Well since i came up with the idea i suppose i should do a proper version for it.

Since I have done Lewinski and Hillary, I couldn't leave out Bill Clinton:

I guess I did.

I forgot already. Hmm... I'm trying to think of another card to make. Hmm, how about Martha Stewart?

Even we should have some standards.

No, just kidding, go right ahead. If I can make Gordon "even Hitler rolls in his grave" Liddy, Martha Stewart should be ok...

Yup, artefacts are always colourless.

Though you could say "if at any time you control George Bush II, sacrifice USA Constitution", as that would cover both sacrificial conditions (careful that Bush's name must be identical to that on his card otherwise the condition technically never holds).

And very appropriate conditions they are, too.

Cutting my Martha and I'll redo here in a minute.

But the card is called George W Bush II. But good rewording i will post an updated version. Also do you play magic or just satire with it?

You might want to add a 0/1 Power/Toughness meter in the bottom right corner as well as your username in the bottom center (I have forgotten it myself a few times, hence I have sometimes reloaded the images).

Ok, I'll get to that soon enough.

Your nader card is lacking a distinct green mana cost on it. Just felt you should know.

Right you are.

And I mostly satire with MtG, though I have been known to play - very occationally.

DrkHelmet: tapping for five mana is horribly powerful - not that I am in any position to criticize since my cards have thus far mostly been unplayable (due to being ridiculously useless).

I am pondering making them at least marginally useful so people can have a double blast playing them...

It is? I figured since you only have a 50/50 chance of being able to use that again for 5 turns, it kind of balanced it out. If Martha is tapped for the 5 turns, you recieve no mana for those 5 turns (if you lose the flip).

Yeah, possibly so. In any case she costs three mana and you may not have a use for all those mana she generates - so that leads to mana burn...

Nah, leave her as she is. She's fine.

The Kofi Annan one is BRILLIANT. "Untap it. Tap it, again. Untap it. Tap it, again."

These cards ROCK! They almost make me want to start playing again...

Suggestions since you don't have any horde cards.

Fundamentalist Right Wing Conspiracy. two red, 4 colorless, enchantment.

'Tap x colorless: Put x number of counters into play. These counters count as 1/1 red monsters with First Strike.' flavor text: 'Oh god! The Chrisitians are coming! The Christians are coming!'

Vast Left Wing Conspiracy two blue, 4 colorless, enchancement.

'Tap X colorless: Put X number of counters into play. These counters count as 1/1 blue monsters with 1 blue Regeneration.' flavor text: 'Lets git them gawd damn commie pinkos out of the capital!'

If you can't tell, they're loaded with sarcasm.

World Trade Centre

Legendary Artifact

5any

[tap] Gain 2 mana of any colour

Destroy the World Trade Centre to bring any politician into play for free. All of your creatures gain +1/+1 for the next turn.

When World Trade Centre is destroyed, any other players may play a "Terrorist" card for no cost.

Post by **weemadando** » 2005-09-09 09:39pm

Operation Adjective Noun

Enchantment

4red 4any

Target one other player, all of your actions against this player are at +1/+1 until this card is destroyed.

This card can only be destroyed when the target player has been defeated. Nothing else will remove this card from play.

If the target player is not defeated within 3 turns, then all of your politicians in play are destroyed and all of your creatures lose the bonus granted by this card and gain a -1/-1 penalty.
