I just realized that if my Chappaquiddik joke was added to Ted's text, Ted could be used to destroy Monica Lewinski....

you forgot sacrifice intern card or pay (2) mana to tap

Point, though he is already a bit of a burden since you need to pay mana each time you attack.

EDIT: goddamned tags.

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).

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.

Text: Don't be a girlie man!

Lord Zentei · Post by **Lord Zentei** » 2005-09-11 10:07am

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?

Yes; I couldn't find anything appropriate.

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?

What about this for a card.

UN
Global enchantment.
(W)(2)
Soldiers can not attack unless there controller pays 0 for each attacking soldier.

I want some input before i make it>

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.

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. Like your Donald Rumsfeld card that has no possible use.

Good point.

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.

Glimmervoid · Post by **Glimmervoid** » 2005-09-11 11:37am

Hear it is. There was not room for the upkeep bit. If some one can do better by all means try.

Trailer Park
Land

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.

Glimmervoid · Post by **Glimmervoid** » 2005-09-11 02:37pm

The first is my version of your idea the second yours reworded a little.

He was calling all the democrats in the California legislature "Girlie Men".

I am soooo saving these to the Hard Drive.

Where's the Colin Powell card?
"When George Bush II is in play, Colin Powell cannot block and deals 0 damage when blocked."

Note that they are still not in their final versions; so headsup.

Rouse the Rabble

All token creatures get +1 to attack when attacking but deal one damage to you.

Vicious · Post by **Vicious** » 2005-09-13 08:02am

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!"

I am in the process of doing some troops for Rumsfeld to make less effective. I just need some pics to complete them.

This is the best funny/stupid one's that I could find. I will add some proper one's latter.

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?
