why in the hell would france turn all creatures into DEFENDERS!?!??! It should "pacifism" all creatures until end of turn, and as an additional cost you have to laugh in a french accent like a douche.

More cards:

Salt // Pepper
2W (Salt) Sorcery - Destroy target nonbasic land.
2B (Pepper) Sorcery - Destroy target creature with flying.

Splish // Splash
U (Splish) Instant - Change the text of target spell or permanent by replacing all instances of one basic land type with another.
7U (Splash) Insant - Put all lands on top of their owners' libraries.

Card changes:

I'm changing Port Authority. It will be weaker but is now an Island. So I think I will make a cycle of Legendary Basics. And so far both of them are "fixed" versions of Mercadian Masques cards. I wouldn't mind keeping that theme for the other 3.

I thought about what Fanboy said and I kinda want to step back on the references. Red Alert/Yuri's Revenge will now be Red Alert/Code Blue. But I will keep Sonic/Shadow and London/France.

Too many people don't like Shoot // Ask Questions so I'm changing it completely. (I liked it at first, but I guess I can do away with it since it used too many keywords) The card used to do this:

1R (Shoot) Sorcery - Shoot deals 3 damage to target player. Fateseal 3.
4U (Ask Questions) Sorcery - Scry 3, then draw 3 cards.

The new card will be:

Shoot // Ask Questions
R (Shoot) Instant - Shoot deals 2 damage to target creature. If it's a land creature, Shoot deals 4 damage to it instead.
4U (Ask Questions) Instant - Draw 3 cards.

Because of it, I am changing Punch // Pie. It used to do this:

(Punch) - R - Instant - Destroy target creature land or face-down creature.
(Pie) - G - Instant - Until end of turn, target creature gets +2/+2 and all creatures must block it if able.

The new card will be:

Punch // Pie
1R (Punch) Instant - Turn target face-down creature face up.
1G (Pie) Instant - Until end of turn, target creature gets +2/+2 and all creatures must block it if able.

I'm changing Lions, Tigers // Bears. The card used to be 3W for three 2/1's or 2G for two 2/2's. But the new card will be:

Lions, Tigers // Bears
5W (Lions, Tigers) Sorcery - Put four 2/1 white Cat creature tokens into play.
1G (Bears) Sorcery - Put a 2/2 green Bear creature token into play.

Upcoming cards:

I was thinking of making a card named: All Work // No Play. However, I don't really have any ideas. :P

I also want to make a card called Nickel // Dime. Again, no real ideas.

I want to put the card Encroach (Urza's Destiny uncommon) on a split card. In fact, it could be on All Work // No Play.

Totem Gallery still too broken, cannot be killed when it's a creature, turn one 2/2 + 1 mana

I hope you someday realize how absurd your card naming is. Either that, or I hope you're working on an Un-set.

Here is what some of my split cards could look like.

As some of you may have noticed, I like to come up with lands.

Steam Whirlpool
Land
T: Add U or R to your mana pool.
When Steam Whirlpool becomes tapped, put your hand on the bottom of your library, then draw cards equal to one less than the number of cards put on the bottom of your library this way.

Stolen Territory
Land
T: Add R to your mana pool.
Players can't play lands.
At the beginning of your upkeep, sacrifice Stolen Territory.

Attunement Land
Attunement Land comes into play tapped.
T: Add U to your mana pool.
UU, T, Return Attunement Land to its owner's hand: Draw three cards, then discard four cards from your hand.

Trade Route
Land - Island
1: Return Trade Route to its owner's hand.
Cycling 1

Suncrop Circle
Land
T: Add W to your mana pool.
At the end of your turn, if you didn't play a land this turn, you may reveal the top card of your library. If that card is a land card, put it into play.

Cornered Market Place
Legendary Land
Players can't play spells or nonbasic lands with the same name as a nontoken permanent unless that card's name is Cornered Market Place.
T: Add W to your mana pool.

X // Zero
X (X) Sorcery - X deals X damage to target creature or player and X damage to you. X is blue.
0 (Zero) Sorcery - Destroy target land. That land's controller chooses a land you control. Sacrifice that land. Zero is red.

I changed Sonic/Shadow to make Sonic a bounce spell.

I decided on a new split card, but this time I don't have a name for it.

One side would be a reprint of Encroach.
The other side would be W, instant, deal 3 damage to target attacking or blocking creature.

I'm not going to make a split card for Quote, Buy // Print, but I would make one for Hook, Line // Sinker. No real ideas, though.

Old Snake, 1G
Creature - Snake Shaman
When Old Snake comes into play, put a Forest token into play.

Oh I just thought of another split card name. Dungeon // Dice.

Make some cards out of these names:

Fiddle // Faddle
Bicycle // Tricycle
CD // DVD
Snow White // Seven Dwarfs
1 // 2

None of those names will work. Except MAYBE Fiddle/Faddle.

Thanks for all the comments so far, everyone.

More of my babies!

Spick // Span
W (Spick) Instant - You can't be the target of spells or abilities this turn.
1WU (Span) Insant - Look at the top five cards of your library. You may reveal a land card from among them and put it into your hand. Put the rest on the bottom of your library in any order. Draw a card.

Dungeon // Dice
B (Dungeon) Sorcery - Target player reveals his or her hand. Choose a nonbasic land card from it. That player discards that card.
BR (Dice) Sorcery - Roll a six-sided die. Dice deals damage equal to the die roll to target creature or player.

Originally, Dice was going to be "deal damage to target attacking/blocking creature", I was thinking one white mana for 3 damage. But then I thought if I could work an actual die roll into the card for effect. And then I realized that I had to start over because I forgot that both sides had to be the same type. (damaging attacking/blocking creature would have to be instant, and I wanted to keep Dungeon a sorcery)

Hook, Line // Sinker
U (Hook, Line) Instant - Creatures target player controls block this turn if able.
1B (Sinker) Instant - Creatures target player controls attack this turn if able.

NEW PORT AUTHORITY. Originally my Port Authority was basically a reprint of Rishadan Port, but I realized that, not that it is broken, but that it is disruptive and cheap. Afterwards I increased its activation cost or even made it so the card only affects land creatures. (which is narrow and boring) But while trying to design a new card, I thought of what I think is the perfect solution for Port Authority:

Port Authority
Land - Spellshaper
T: Add U to your mana pool.
U, T, Discard a card: Counter target spell unless its controller pays 1.

Correal Piers
Land - Cornerstone
You may begin the game with one Cornerstone in play. If you do, skip your first turn.
Correal Piers comes into play tapped if you played it from your hand.
T: Add W or U to your mana pool.

^ (You play the card from your deck before you draw your hand. This is a cycle of five lands, one for each friendly color pair.)

Lock, Stock // Barrel
1W, Enchantment - Aura (Lock, Stock) Enchant creature. Enchanted creature can't attack or block.
2G, Sorcery (Barrel) Destroy target artifact, enchantment, or land. That permanent's controller puts a 2/2 Ape creature token into play.

Hook, Line // Sinker
U (Hook, Line) Sorcery - Creatures target player controls block this turn if able.
UB, Creature - Horror (Sinker) When Sinker comes into play, exchange control of Sinker and target creature an opponent controls. If you can't make an exchange, sacrifice Sinker. 4/4

Boo // Hiss
B (Boo) Instant - Destroy target face-up nonblack, nonartifact, nonland creature. It can't be regenerated.
W (Hiss) Instant - Hiss deals 3 damage to target attacking or blocking creature.

Rage of the Lion Gods, 4WW
Creature - Griffin
When Rage of the Lion Gods comes into play or is turned face up, if it's your turn, you may destroy all creatures. If you do, they can't be regenerated.
Morph 2WW
4/4

Congress, 2U
Gratuitous Sorcery
Draw two cards.
Kicker 2U
If you paid the kicker cost, draw two cards.

Oblivion Bond, B
Sorcery
As an additional cost to play Oblivion Bond, discard a card.
Target opponent discards two cards.
Kicker 4
If you paid the kicker cost, each player discards their hand.

Coarse Moon, 1U or 1B (hybrid card)
Sorcery
Destroy target token.
Kicker 2
If you paid the kicker costs, destroy all tokens.

Vanilla Heath
Land
T: Add W to your mana pool.
T, Sacrifice Vanilla Heath: Put a Forest token into play.

^ (a cycle of cards, one for each color, that can each sac to make a Forest token. Like a new version of Onslaught fetch lands with no life loss and no searching required.)

Some cards I made over a year ago that I found and really liked:

Cheap Charlie, 4W
Creature - Human Spellshaper
W, T, Discard a card: Target player can't play spells this turn.
WW, T, Discard a card: Target player can't play spells this turn. Creatures can't attack this turn.
2/2

Hack, B
Sorcery
Target opponent names a card other than a basic land. You may search your library for a card with that name, reveal it, put it into your hand, then shuffle your library. If you don't, you may reveal your library. If your library does not have the named card, put a card from your library into your hand without revealing it, then shuffle your library.

Jumpdjinn, 3B
Creature - Djinn
If time has been called in the round, each player is disqualified.
Morph 5
5/5
