make a card whose name is a line from the Depeche Mode song Stripped make a 1cmc hybrid cantrip. cantrip being defined here as a card that draws another card as it resolves (or on a slight delay if you're nasty) and "1cmc" and "hybrid" being defined in the obvious ways.

grades start on friday. (although with Thanksgiving there's a good chance I'll be slow about it this week.) go!

Would Dream Salvage count or not?

I would say that dream salvage is a draw spell, not a cantrip.

What about Visions from Beyond for the cantrip criteria? Like conditional card advantange

hmm. tough call but as a general principle I think it's better to say yes than no on corner cases, so I'll say that's ok because you're still likely to just cycle it in the early game.

Seed of Malice —
Sorcery (C)
Seed of Malice deals 1 damage to each player.

Cycling — Pay 2 life.
What started out as a simple rebellious thought soon grew into a wicked ploy, whose fruits would show that blood can only be repaid with blood.

The next time an instant or sorcery you control would deal damage to a single target this turn, it deals that much damage plus X instead, where X is the number of cards you have drawn this turn.

Richard blinked. The devices now hummed an alien tone, his research papers a daunting task. The clock claimed it is now the 24th. He deduced two days had flew by, his growling stomach concluded it was time to eat.


The previous version is more elegant but I think this tells a story better. Trying to gauge power level, this becomes an Ancestral Recall with Firmament Sage out and daytime.

Surging Rage
Instant
Creaturres you control with trample get +1/+1 until end of turn.

Back to the drawing board I go.

Instant (C)
Create a Food token. Draw a card.
This spell doesn't do much, but then, it doesn't need to.

Foxprints
Instant (U)
Investigate. The next ability you activate this turn that isn't a mana ability costs less to activate.
"I have never seen such beauty before in my life. I hope to experience it again someday."
—Vivien, of Zirda



Activated ability mana reduction doesn't have the firmest color definitions. As far as I can find, there are only 10 such cards with color(s) in their mana costs, and of those, 4 are multicolored. 3 are red, 4 are green, 2 are white (none mono-colored), and 5 are blue. I bring this up mostly to wonder if it's a mechanic that doesn't necessarily have color definitions beyond specific interactions. For example, Bladegraft Aspirant works for equipment, Blossoming Tortoise works for land, Forensic Gadgeteer works for artifacts, etc. Ultimately, I decided to make it as a cute Zirda reference, since I love that companion, but ultimately, I think it makes more sense as a card. Or probably as a artifact with an ETB.

Loaded Luck |
Instant

If you would roll a die or flip a coin this turn, instead perform that action twice and ignore one of those results.
Draw a card.

Perpetuating Gizmo :/:
Artifact (C)
When Perpetuating Gizmo enters, draw a card.
: Add :/:. Spend this mana only to cast spells named Perpetuating Gizmo.
It never stops running until it runs out.

:/: is supposed to be a Hybrid / , but it seems the site will not let me do this?

Bloodvine Seedling
Creature - Plant (U)
When this creature enters, draw a card. Then sacrifice it unless there are six or more creature cards in your graveyard.
The tribes of Ezari do not mark their graves. In time, a bloodvine plant sprouts from the earth, both memorializing the dead and protecting them as they rest.
3/3

Does mine count as a cantrip even if you can choose draw+investigate?
