I've decided to make some more MTG political cards. I made one, in response to the countless threads on this forum. This card is:

http://i23.photobucket.com/albums/b383/DrkHelmet/GunBan.jpg

I'm taking suggestions for other political cards. Polititians, bills, stupid ass things people said on TV, everything. Try to include stats and abilities with your suggestions, as it would make it much easier for me. (Don't wank it out with 99/99 cards or anything, though)

Note:

This is NOT a thread in which to debate political ideologies. Just put forth suggestions and such for cards. I am willing to make them for republicans, democrats, fundies, progressives, everyone, if it's funny enough.

Do one called "nuclear option"
Power: Prevents opponent from summoning judicial-based cards while this card is in play. It can only be overriden by playing "House Ethics Change"

Come on lads! I'm not good at ideas. Give me some!

bump.

Comn lads, don't you have any ideas to share?

you could easly do one on vegetarianism
something like: whenever a creature would be put into a graveyard from play shufle it into it's owners library

or on the KKK (ironicaly it should be a black card if it was real) something like: remove all black creatures from the game

or on kapitalism:
at the beginning of your upkeep any player may pay bid any amount of life the player who bid the highest amount of life loses that much life
at the end of your turn double that players life total

so many possibilities

(btw, your wordings are really wrong on those cards)

You know there is a website right?

I know, but I like to make my own.

http://i23.photobucket.com/albums/b383/DrkHelmet/NuclearOption.jpg

Come on lads! I'm not good at ideas. Give me some!
Nuclear option is the senate rules change. That card should be called filibuster (prevent all judicial cards from entering play), and the one that counteracts it should be called the Nuclear Option (destroy filibuster, add a 0/-2 counter to all politician cards on the side of the player casting the card)

I will DEFINATELY be checking in on this thread! My favorite part of MTG is looking at the cards! How about a "protest" card?And if you do one, it would only be fair to do a "party in power" card.

How about:

OPEC/Enron (depending on political leanings): Instant for not much mana; Tap any Oil-type lands in play

Cabinet Reshuffle: Probably a blue and/or green card; Choose a colour and any player. Search through that player's deck for any number of creature cards of that colour and place them in any order on the top of their deck. This card may only be played when you control the greatest number of creatures on the field.

<< First suggestion >> War on Terror: Red enchantment. Comes into play with one counter on it. Ability -
Tap, add a counter to War on Terror: Destroy all Terrorist type creatures on the field. For each creature destroyed in this way, its owner may place an X/X Terrorist creature token on the field, where X is the number of counters currently on War on Terror.

Nuclear holocaust.

Kill all creatures, remove all lands, empty graveyard. All players health are reduced to 5 (does not apply to players with health lower than 5)

Nuclear option is the senate rules change. That card should be called filibuster (prevent all judicial cards from entering play), and the one that counteracts it should be called the Nuclear Option (destroy filibuster, add a 0/-2 counter to all politician cards on the side of the player casting the card)

Of course. Righto, modifying.

you want it NS focused?

"Bush's Fault."

Can be played anytime you have nothing better to play, even if it's a Natrual Disaster or talking about "Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy"

once played, any player with a Mod Card can use their card, even if out of order and won't count as part of their turn.

"Oh God, not this S#!T again."

to be played when yet another thread appears about a Topic similar to at least 2 other threads on the first page of General. Or if it's a topic that was disected, put back together, revived, killed, and re-disected.

"GraveDigging"

this card can be used when a thread over 4 days old is revived with no additon of any useful input.

Cards are going to be slow. This is probably my last one for a few hours, but keep the ideas flowing.

http://i23.photobucket.com/albums/b383/DrkHelmet/filibust.jpg

The Race Card is a stroke of genius...

Might I recommend an instant:
"Media Witchunt" all creatures attack target creature if able.

Moronic Communist Accusations and Attacks on Patriotism: Pick a colour. All creatures of that colour cannot attack and any in your hand must be discarded.

doctored evidence of WMD: all creatures owned by player may attack even if they overwise are unable to do so

Communist Revolution:
Enchantment: Red
Cost: 3R+2

Communist Revolution comes into play with X charge counters, where X equals the total sum of the power and toughness of each creature in play divided by the number creatures in play and then divide again by two(round down).

As long as Communist Revolution is in play, all creatures' power and toughness are equal to the number of charge counters on Communist Revolution.

Communism:
All creatures become red. All creatures become 1/1

Bureaucracy:
Enchantment: Blue
Cost: 3Bl + 32
Each non-blue spell cost 1 more to play.
Non-blue, non-creature spells remain on the stack (do not resolve) until Bureaucracy is removed from play.

We'll get right to it!

(Something to that extent)

oh wow i didnt realize i posted that just after u did, that is funny. U should make one socialism and one communism

Mutual Assured Destruction RR(2) (two red, two colorless)

Enchantment

When Mutual Assured Destruction comes into play, put 3 counters on it. At the beginning of your upkeep, remove a counter. When MAD has no counters, remove it from play.

If any player attacks another, the defending player, on his or her next turn, may untap all his or her creatures after his or her attack phase and use an additional attack phase. All creatures the defending player controls get +3/+0 and gain first strike for the turn.

Communist Revolution:
Enchantment: Red
Cost: 3R+2

Communist Revolution comes into play with X charge counters, where X equals the total sum of the power and toughness of each creature in play divided by the number creatures in play and then divide again by two(round down).

As long as Communist Revolution is in play, all creatures' power and toughness are equal to the number of charge counters on Communist Revolution.

That was interesting. Too crippling though. How about this:

http://i23.photobucket.com/albums/b383/DrkHelmet/Stalin-Mao.jpg

Corporate Democracy:
Red: Sorcery
Cost: 2R

If you control more politicians than target opponent, gain control of his/her creatures until end of turn. They gain haste until end of turn.
At end of turn, sacrifice all creatures you control.

*pauses for reflection*

WWW+2

Each player turns his or her creatures face-down, then shuffles his or her creatures randomly. Whenever a creature becomes the target of a spell or ability, or would be dealt damage, turn that creature face-up. When the damage, spell, or ability, resolves, turn that creature face-down again.

(something to that extent)

So... you have to manaburn yourself? More lands in play sounds like it'd work better than more mana in your mana pool...

I was thinking the mana itslef better represented money, and that you could use that mana to pay for an ability of your new creature. O well, no matter.

Less mana=more production, maybe should be "whenever you tap a land for mana, add another mana to your mana pool"
Creature mana represents production power of each individual, maybe as group, tap two creatures you control, add 1 mana of any color to your mana pool

Like a weird Mirari's Wake

POST AUTHOR: Just a suggestion that maybe you edit your first post and put links to all the cards in it...would make them easier to find.

Well, I don't play M:tG, but maybe someone who does can make something out of this:

9/11
Cancels any UN or Peace treaty card of your choice, allows you one free attack every other turn, but must not kill opponent's last fight-capable card (Enemy leader cards are unaffected by 9/11). Lasts for 10 turns (after that, everyone's forgotten about it).

Patriot Act
Can only be played after 9/11 has been played and forces your opponents to lay their cards open on the table.

Jihad
Can only be played when you have mujahedin on the table, immunizes you against the effects of enemy Patriot Act (i.e. you can pick your cards up again), immunizes your characters against western influence cards and doulbes the single value of all your mujahedin. If you have no more mujahedin, the card is immediately discarded.

Mujahedin (character)
Every Mujahedin has the power of 1 times the number of mujahedin cards you have on the table (i.e. if you have 5 mujahedin on your table, every single one has a power of 5). Can only be played after enemy played 9/11 or Israel.

Karl Rove

Cost, 6 mana

When tapped, your selected opponent must show you his hand, as well as the first three cards in his facedown pile (from which he draws new cards). But, in doing so, the selected opponent MAY NOT see the first three cards in the facedown pile.

After viewing all the cards, the selected opponent may then be forced to immediately discard one to three cards in their hand, drawing one to three from the facedown pile. The player using Karl Rove selects the cards to be discarded from the selected player's hand.

Every Mujahedin has the power of 1 times the number of mujahedin cards you have on the table (i.e. if you have 5 mujahedin on your table, every single one has a power of 5). Can only be played after enemy played 9/11 or Israel.
What are the colours?? I guess 9/11 would bee a red card, but what about the rest??

United Nations

Random cost (1 to 6 mana)

If tapped, each player's hand on the table moves to the player on their right.

This leaves you with the cards in your hand, plus your original supply of new cards, but the cards in play on the table probably don't match your lands or plans.

Repeated applications of United Nations have the same effect.

More ideas!You know, maybe we could start a NationStates Magic Deck...

"Hunting for Osama"

enchantment.

"at the start of opponents upkeep, "Hunting for Osama" can be activated to tap target creature."

Give it a heavy activation cost.

I don't know much about MTG, but i'll give it a shot:

Kyoto Protocol

enchantment?
cost: no idea

This card forces everyone to pay for polution. Every creature produced costs one more *.

This card has no effect on players who have played a 'george bush' card.

Two cards.

Super Bowl
lands affected: US
World Cup
lands affected: all others

Cost: 5 mana

If tapped, all lands affected that are on the table are immediately tapped until the controlling player begins their next turn. Until then, the tapped lands stay tapped.

(the idea is that during a major sports event, everything stops)

World Cup

(the idea is that during a major sports event, everything stops)
In that case, The Olympics would be a better choice. "World Cup" is a bit too generic and any way, there are lots of World Cups and a lot of them go more or less ignored.

If your oppenant has Newt Gingrinch in play at the same time as Bill Clinton is in play, you cannot play any Blue Enchant Creature or Socercy cards and all Blue politicans gain a +2/+1 bonus.
