Magic Great Designer Search Test #6
This week, Un-cards! Almost no other restrictions, except that they had to be multicolored and rare. You couldn't repeat a color combination. Oh, and now you need names, flavor text and descriptions about the cards.
Desiging Un-cards is great fun.
Day of the Kobolds
2WR
Sorcery
When Day of the Kobolds comes into play, remove all creatures you control from the game. Then put that many 0/1 red Kobold tokens into play.
You can't lose the game as long as you control a Kobold.
You hit the lights and they just scatter. Gotta get them while they're alseep - Urkin, Phyrexian Exterminator
Pick an iconic land art (Diamond Valley? Plateau?) and just overrun it with kobolds that are hiding and running about. Have one hanging off the text box.
"Question Mark" Rosewater
Legendary Creature - Human Trivia-God
GU
2/2
T: Choose a casting cost and card type. Starting with you, each player names a card with that combination. The last player to successfully name a card puts two 1/1 green Squirrel tokens into play. You may not choose a combination with fewer than 2 cards for answers, or one that has been chosen this match.
There are 118 creatures that cost 1G. And did I mention I used to write for Roseanne?
It's Mark Rosewater. If you want to put him into a chicken suit, I'm not going to be the person to stop you. In light text in the gold background, dig out the longest cardname chain and just print it, overlaying the various card pieces.

2: Put a Pro Player card into play blocking target creature. Tear it up it at end of combat.
At last, a use for these things
A balding mage with glasses (base reference: Urza's Legacy Archivist) with bookshelves full of binders rising behind him. He has a binder open on a desk in front of him, and a couple binders are stacked next to him with labels showing ("White FE U3s", "BoK lands")
Phyrexian Arcade
Enchantment
WBB
Bond (As this comes into play, choose a player sitting next to you to be your Teammate)
At the beginning of your upkeep, if your Teammate has an odd number of permanents in play, you draw a card and they lose one life.
A drop of humanity for a sea of high scores
The traditional background of a bunch of heads watching (see Phyrexian Arena), but Gerrard and Urza are, backs to us, standing on something that looks like a non-trademark-infringing DDR machine. Gerard is going strong, while Urza is starting to flag. Text for the Name and Type line should be in an appropriately video-game-y font.
I Got Nothing. You?
1UR
Enchantment
Bond (As this comes into play, choose a player sitting next to you to be your Teammate)
Whenever you're dealt damage, exchange hands with your Teammate. Cards you don't own may be played by paying their converted mana cost. Your Teammate may do the same for cards they don't own.
I know there's a Dwarven Pony in here somewhere
Two mages at lecterns separated by a glowing portal. One mage has an arms through the portal and is groping at the other mage's lectern.
