I meant I don't want you to be able to use the ability to put a double-faced card onto the battlefield. Sorry, I guess that question was pretty badly worded.

These cards are Ball Tightening.
Perfect originality is overrated and often ugly. The best and most beautiful cards I've ever seen were clearly inspired by something else.
Cards are not entirely unlike living organisms in this regard. All the good ones are a result of long evolution; the 'original' ones are either monocellular or mutant aberrations.
Graveborn are strictly better than Zombies. I mean, look at that wicked beard  . You try growing that when your dead. And I know aging fellows who are suffering from Male Pattern Baldness, who would kill for a Mop like Ribsy's over there.
Hey Dudibus, I can't take you seriously until you take your shirt off!

Innovation: Ritual Pit  Enchantment - Aura
Enchant land. Enchanted land loses all abilities and gains " , sacrifice a creature: add to your mana pool". By the way, I'm not on the scoreboard. And do I start with any slices of the pie? Because some people already have 3 of them, and I don't think I can win the contests twice as often as they do.
I don't have an egosig because I'd rather my ideas be judged on their merits than on mine. Catpoints: Spoiler:

What are catpoints?
A way of measuring how much I love you.
How do I get catpoints?
1: participate in my forum games/contests.
2: make awesome posts.
3: destroy Carthage.
What can I do with catpoints?
You can ask favors of me. I may or may not agree to your favor, depending on how big the favor is and how many catpoints you have.
Who has how many catpoints?

711.6. A double-faced permanent always has the status "face up" (see rule 110.6). Double-faced permanents can't be turned face down. If a spell or ability tries to turn a double-faced permanent face down, nothing happens.
basically, if you used it on gatstaff shepherd  , it'd do as much as it could of the instructions, which is but it into play, then fail to put it face-down.
@cato: Rush just hasn't updated the scoreboard yet. and no, no pie to start, but don't worry, the nature of the contest actually makes it fairly easy to catch up if you're good. remember, once someone wins all the pie slices, they still need to come first in the entire round in order to win, which gives you time, and if you pick your categories right you can block them for a bit since their category choices are much more limited than yours. it's not a great position to come in at but it's definitely workable.
120.6. Some effects replace card draws.

When the holidays are over (for me, that's around Jan. 7th), I'll be back to my loveable, always on time self. Also, I'm waiting for Stein so I can do it all at once.  Wait, that wasn't me to begin with, was it?

With silasw doing flavor, I'm going with something else. Elegance: make a land with no mana abilities. it should still feel land-y. Ruin of the EldersLegendary LandAs long as ~ is tapped, spells you cast cost less to cast. It's hard enough finding it, much less tapping into its power.This one is more for johnnies, but I think spikes will be drawn to its power. Essentially giving you for each spell you cast is quite land-y. This mechanic can really only be safely done on lands, as there are too many ways to tap creatures and artifacts. Oh, and the art will totally tie in with something having to do with the other elder dragons ( Chromium  most likely) WIP

Think I'll enter a card I created for KOR: Library of the Apocalypse. I feel the card has a very potent ability hidden behind a serious drawback, making it suitably mythic. This would be a key enabler for legacy and vintage dredge, while being suitably powered down in a format like standard where it's harder to take advantage of the ability. While personally I don't think dredge decks need help, recent tournament reports shows dredge is well under control so throwing them a bone isn't out of the question.

Whenever enchanted land becomes tapped, it's controller sacrifices it. If that player does, he or she may have it deal 3 damage to target creature.
For once, the local goblins knew better than Merovik and his delver mobs.

I'm not sure you're right there.
The instructions aren't a seperate "put it onto the battlefield" and "put it facedown".
It's "put it onto the battlefield face down", which is a single (impossible) action.

a quick investigation of how illusionary mask  works with transform seems to imply that you are correct. god damn it DFCs suck.
