Here we go (again).

I'm resurrecting one of my favorite games from the Wizards boards. We take turns making cards, going through the colors and the rarities. For each color, we will make (in order) a common, uncommon, rare and mythic rare. Then we'll move onto the next color, and cycle back to the beginning when we're through.

It would also be appreciated for the posters to add their card's rarity in the post, just to keep things organized and easy to follow.

In order:


To start us off:

Town Guard

Creature -- Human Soldier (C)
First strike, defender
"Guard duty is one percent stopping crime, nine percent telling people to move along, and ninety percent standing around doing nothing."
2/2

Guard Commissioner
Creature — Human Soldier (U)
First strike, defender
Whenever a creature you control blocks an attacking creature, the blocking creature gets +1/+1 for each other creature blocking that attacking creature.
2/2

Mask of Vanity |
Enchantment - Aura [R]
Enchant Player
Spells or abilities that target a player target enchanted player if able.

I hope this works

"While choosing targets as part of casting a spell or activating an ability, players must choose enchanted player if able."

Taken and slightly modified from the "Flagbearer" mechanic.

Aura Dominance
Enchantment [M]
: Gain control of target Aura that's attached to a permanent. Attach it to another permanent it can enchant.
Enchanted creatures have "This creature gets +1/+1 for each Aura attached to it."

Also, it's a lot easier to follow if you add your card's rarity.

Avatar of Self

Creature -- Avatar (M)
Avatar of Self's power and toughness are equal to your life total.
If damage would be dealt to Avatar of Self, instead that damage is dealt to you.
*/*

Gene Splice

Sorcery (C)
Put a +1/+1 counter on target creature. It gains the creature type of your choice permanently.

Austerity of Sphinxes
Instant (U)
Counter target nonblue spell. If that spell is white, its controller gains 3 life. If that spell is black, you lose 3 life.
All sphinxes can be reasoned with, but just throwing yourself into its jaws is sometimes preferable.

False Tutor |
Creature - Human Wizard [R]
When False Tutor enters the battlefield, search your library for a nonland card, reveal it, and put it into your hand. Then shuffle your library.
Cards with the same name as the revealed card can’t be cast.
1/1

Indoctrinate
Enchantment (M)
At the beginning of your upkeep, gain control of target creature with the least power. If two or more creatures are tied for least power, you choose one of them.
You can't lose control of creatures you control.
You have to get them as babies if you really want blind devotion.

COTW.


Rotting Hulk —
Creature — Giant Zombie (C)
Intimidate
Rotting Hulk enters the battlefield tapped.
6/7

Thoughtslayer
Creature - Demon (U)
Flying
Whenever an opponent discards a card put a +1/+1 counter on Thoughtslayer.
2/2

Rakdos' Will |
Sorcery [R]
Until end of turn, you may cast target card in your graveyard. If a card would be put into your graveyard from play this turn, exile it instead
Hellbent — If you have no cards in your hand, you may cast cards from your graveyard until end of turn.

Deathless Draugr

Creature -- Zombie Warrior (M)
Whenever Deathless Draugr dies, return it to the battlefield at the beginning of the next end step with X +1/+1 counters on it, where X is one plus the number of +1/+1 counters it had on it when it died.
The war he first fell in is known only to historians, but in the haze of undeath he still believes himself to be fighting it.
1/1

Absolution of Dragons
Sorcery (U)
Absolution of Dragons deals 5 damage to target nonred creature. If that creature is green or black, its controller puts a 1/1 red Elemental creature token onto the battlefield.
Dragons are the freest of all creatures, without desire or need, only instinct and pride. Its flame is the crucible of that freedom and in it, all things may taste the dragon's flight.

Since we missed a red common:

Volatile Bolts -
Instant (C)
Volatile Bolts deals 2 damage to target creature and 1 damage to each player.
"I have finally perfected the art of casting lightning from my palms! Next on up on my agenda, utilizing lightning to treat burn wounds..."
- Tratikk, goblin sparkmage

NO WE DID NOT MISS A COMMON. The person who posted it deleted their post as I posted mine, so no, we are not going to pretend it didn't exist. Ogre's card must be a rare then, to follow the pattern. That's not very rare-ish, Ogre.

Nataraja
Sorcery (M)
Exile all hands, graveyards, and permanents. Then, restart the game except all cards exiled this way remain in exile and each player's starting life total is 10.
Shiva begins his dance.

How could you say that! I will always remember Volatile Bolts as the best rare

Nature's Whim -
Instant (C)
Each player untaps a land.
Draw a card.
"I could have sworn I've passed this tree before..."

Homestead Elephant
Creature - Elephant (U)
Vigilance
At the beginning of each player's end step, gain 1 life unless Homestead Elephant attacked or blocked this turn.
2/3

Wildform |
Enchantment - Aura [R]
Enchant Creature you control
If X is 0, enchanted creature is a 2/2 green Bear.
If X is 4, enchanted creature is a 4/4 green Beast with Trample.
If X is 7, Enchanted creature is a 6/6 green Wurm with Trample and Shroud.

What if it's 5?

Arachnohydra |
Creature - Spider Hydra {M}
Reach, Deathtouch, Intimidate
Whenever a creature with flying attacks you, you may untap Arachnohydra.
At the beginning of each end step, put X +1/+1 counters on Arachnohydra, where X is the amount of damage dealt to it this turn.
You don't know what terror is.
6/6
