Another one of those threads Double Time   Sorcery Mythic Take an extra turn after this one. Each other player takes an additional turn after their next turn. Turin the Diplomat  Legendary Creature-Merfolk Advisor Rare Haste  : Exhange control of Turin the Dipomat and target creature you don't control. Untap that creature, it gains haste.4/4 Floodwaters  Instant Uncommon Tap all non-blue creatures, untap all blue creatures. Army of Lies Creature-Illusion Soldier Uncommon Army of Lies has power and toughness equal to the number of blue permanents you control. Whenever Army of Lies becomes the target of a spell or ability, sacrifice it. */* Avatar of Thought  Creature-Avatar Rare Avatar of Thought has power and toughness equal to the number of cards in your library. When Avatar of Thought is put into your graveyard from anywhere, you may shuffle your graveyard into your library. */* Mitosis Enchantment-Aura Rare Enchant creature Whenever enchanted creature dies, put two tokens onto the battlefield that are copies of that creature. Open Sewer  Enchantment Rare : Shuffle target permanent you control into your library. Shuffle target permanent you control into its owner's library. GhostformPhantasmal Form Enchantment Common Enchant creature Enchanted creature is unblockable. Whenever enchanted creature becomes the target of a spell or ability, sacrifice it. And my personal favorite of any card I've ever designed: Sewing Circle Sorcery Mythic Starting with you, each player may exile a creature card from their graveyard. If that player does, that player returns a creature card from their graveyard to the battlefield under their control. Repeat this process until a player doesn’t exile a creature card this way.

Double Time - Interesting take on an old concept. Seems pretty fair. A good finisher in the right deck, I suppose. At least that is how I would use it. When I need just one more turn to Delve  face. Turin the Diplomat - Seems like a Legend. I'm a big fan of donate  effects, and this is one I really like. That said, I wish it were Red, only because I feel that Blue gets so much good stuff, and Red is like it's ugly little sibling. Wizards really short-sticks Red a lot of the time. I would only run this with Black or Red anyway, to get those good sacrifice  effects  . If he were Legendary, which I assume he is and you just forgot - and Red and Blue, then he would be an awesome EDH general. In that line of thinking I'd also like him to cost 1 or 2 less and be a 3/3. But now I'm just imagining the deck I'd use him for. Floodwaters - Seems  White  , I mean except for the words "non-blue" and "blue" - Also maybe under-priced based on those white cards. Blinding Light is a sorcery. Flavorful. Army of Lies - Faerie Swarm  Illusion? I think it is too cheap, though I guess you can't really drop it on turn one most of the time. Avatar of Thought - Whoa. This card is crazy. I guess it is too expensive to make a splash in a Standard environment, but sure to be an EDH staple. Unless people don't want to count their libraries all the time. Again another good fling target. Interesting idea by the way. Mitosis - This is a really cool card. You have my admiration. Chronozoa  enchantment. Actually, that would be an ideal card to enchant this with. I love that card. And this one is sweet. Don't change a thing. Open Sewer - Should be own. Or into its owner's library. If it is the second one, then it is OP. Again, interesting and flavorful. I really like the idea of my Abyssal Persecutor  trotting along the street, and falling into an open sewer, thereby allowing me to defeat my opponent. Actually if you want the cost to be that low - I would make it "target permanent you own and control." Sewing Circle - Another good EDH card. Again, seems like your bleeding either Red or Black into Blue - but that is okay. In a duel, this is probably just "exile a creature, and return one." Because you'll likely be playing around it, with some sort of strange Reanimator Deck. But interesting all the same. I know the temptation for me, from across the table would definitely be to succumb and grab some goodies - but since your playing the card, you probably don't mind if I do. Anyway, nice designs Thoctar. You have some really unique ideas.

My Standard deck: Setting SunThink of how Neo couldn't beat the robots, but they kept him around anyways to defeat Agent Smith. Sure, the robots might not like having a Neo running rampant because instead of playing their favorite 4 drop fatty robot, they have to play a bunch of one mana Matrixs to contain him, but at least Neo keeps Agent Smith from reanimating an Iona on turn two.
Are you saying I'm trying to blame my loss on something? I don't care that I lost, I care that he's a sore loser, and a cheater, and a liar.
CKY, are you bad at anything?
I really enjoy imagining this from Kevin's perspective. Because in Kevin's world, Rosewater actually reads everything he types. Mark is sitting there right now, reading this, and thinking "The greatest trick the devil ever pulled. . ." Or some such. He chuckles low, then clicks on "The Best Of KEVINSET" and says "Yes, this'll do just fine. A busty lady with banding who deals direct damage to Zones!? Why this will be the star of my next set, and no one will ever believe you Kevin." Then he closes his Macbook, so his servant may move it out of the way, while another servant puts a Fetal Richard Garfield Clone lathered in Steak Sauce in front of him. Then Mark Feasts.
I mean, In KevinWorld, Mark is reading the very words I'm typing as well. Heck, in KevinWorld maybe I am Mark.
I'm beginning to think CKY may be anime in real life...
Don't go anywhere CKY, I need to crash dramatically through your window and propose marriage and I don't want you throwing off my paradrop.
[In response to a thread about how hard grading is]
Upon reading this, I've found myself completely unable to operate in the world. I tried to decide what to eat for breakfast, and pondered the vast consequences of my choice. How do I balance my dietary needs against my desire to eat good-tasting food? Should I factor in how long it takes to prepare? Cereal is ready in moments, but bacon takes longer to cook.
Then there is the impact on other industries. Do people in the cereal industry deserve to be employed more than people in the bacon industry? Which industry should I support? I don't even have the data regarding HOW MUCH the cereal industry benefits from me eating a bowl of cereal, or how much the bacon industry benefits from me eating a side of bacon. How can I compare two qualities I can't even quantify?
And let's not forget the milk on the cereal. In addition to determining whether or not milk is healthy for me, how much that benefits the milk industry, and how much the people in the milk industry deserve my support, we have to factor in the fact that cows are put under brutal conditions in order to collect thier milk. Of course, the same goes for the pigs, and then they get killed. Of course, I really like bacon. So I need to come up with a scale that compares the value of cow happiness to pig happiness to my happiness. What trade-offs am I willing to make here? Does the fact that the pig gets put out of its misery count as a plus or a minus? Isn't bacon bad for me anyway?
Deciding what to eat for breakfast (or any meal) is impossible. Help me!
I must admit chinkeeyong, you have the most interesting character ideas; and you play them well.
Anyway, you'd be surprised about Time Stop. When I first saw that card as a relatively new player I didn't see its full potential until I read the reminder text. Is it that unintuitive, though? Mine I mean. What is possibility? Is it possible for me to type these words with my tusks? No, because I don't have tusks. Although I am now tempted to go buy some - obviously not from poachers or whatever - and use them as typing apparatus. I could be the best secretary ever. "What's your words per minute sir?" "Well, only six, but I use these tusks to type them." "You're hired!" That was the interview. And is anyone else disappointed that "apparati" is not the plural form of apparatus? I just could strangle a dictionary, because "apparatuses" is a real word. I guess it sounds pretty cool. I'll call them my Apparatusks.

Avatar of Thought is an almost guaranteed one-hit kill. The situations when it's smaller than a 20/20 are few and far between, and sneaking him into play or reanimating him seems way too easy. You could at least make the shuffle-from-graveyard effect mandatory.

Turin the Diplomat - If he were Legendary, which I assume he is and you just forgot
Huh?
*looks*
D'oh!
Army of Lies - Faerie Swarm Illusion? I think it is too cheap, though I guess you can't really drop it on turn one most of the time.
Counts itself.
Open Sewer - Should be own. Or into its owner's library. ... I would make it "target permanent you own and control."
Control and own makes a lot of sense, but I meant for it to be "target permanent you control into it's owner's library", but I can't type. :/
Sewing Circle - Another good EDH card. Again, seems like your bleeding either Red or Black into Blue - but that is okay.
I based the flavor off of Innistrad's skaabs, and the templating off of Hypergenesis  .
I has this idea in mind that a bunch of skaabarens might have an annual 'convention' of sorts to show off their macabre works.

The lack of protection or evasion seems to make it a less worthy target than most of the creatures that see high level play in reanimator decks. I'd probably make the trigger mandatory just for solidarity with other similar creatures, but I almost wouldn't want to to see if it would see play as a competitive reanimator target.

Does Double Time give you two additional turns right away? Because that seems way too strong.

The point is that it is essentially a Phage. I'm willing to bet that most of the time getting hit by it would lead to immediate death, barring abnormally high life totals or really small deck sizes. The idea that it's just a Sneak Attack  or Reanimate  away is very scary.

Oh, okay. I do love Skaabs. I personally think they belong in black or at least black-blue, flavorfully. But if Wizards wants to give more cool stuff to Blue, who am I to nay-say.
Now the name makes a whole lot more sense. That is a pretty great card, from a flavor perspective. I see why you're proud of that one.

No.
The idea is this:
Your turn (the turn you cast Double Time)
Your extra turn
Player B's turn
Player B's extra turn
Player C's turn
Player C's extra turn
and so on.
Each player will have two successive turns.

Oh, I completely missed the word other, making me think this gave you 2 turns and everyone else 1, which seemed absurd.
