It's too bad there aren't quite enough elevators to make a cycle   There's the Student Council elevator, the Arena elevator, the Tower elevator, and the Black Rose elevator.  Maybe I'm forgetting one?  Anyone?

Anyway, I will definitely post cards later   I like both of yours, Gio.  Seduction is an unusual flavor for blue, but I think you made it fit.

Aw Magic, I used to play it. Here there's the program to create card on your computer.

I've correct the link with the proper program, sorry

...okay, perhaps this is uselessly pedantic, but here's my own attempt to actually make these fit the 8th edition rules (I'm not sure about 9th edition)

Sweet Seduction
1UU
Enchant Creature
~This~ comes into play with 3 flame counters on it.  At the beginning of your upkeep, remove one flame counter from ~this~.  If no flame counters remain on ~this~ you gain control of enchanted creature.

Saionji Kiyouichi
3RR
Creature - Human Duelist
Haste
If ~this~ would be destroyed, you may pay R.  If you do, shuffle ~this~ into your library.  If you do not, remove ~this~ from play instead.
8/1
Reason for change:  The game doesn't remember the state of cards that have been removed from the play area.

Self Confession
?  (Probably should be BB or 1B)
Sorcery
Kicker BB
Search your deck for a card named "Mikage Souji" and put it in your hand, then lose 5 life.  If the Kicker cost was paid, put the card into play instead.

Not So Different
2WWBB
Enchantment
4 Life:  Destroy two target creatures an opponent controls.  Only your opponents may play this ability.
Sacrifice two creatures:  Gain 4 life

Professor Nemuro
?  (Should be 2UU, minimum)
Legendary Creature - Human Professor
T:  Target opponent draws one card, then discards one card.
1, T:  Put a 1/1 Cat creature token into play under your control
BB, Sacrifice ~this~ plus two other creatures:  Search your deck for a card named "Mikage Souji", put it directly into play, then shuffle your library.
1/2

And, because I wanna play too, although I don't have a good pic on hand....

Duel of Revolution
WWUUBBRRGG
Sorcery
Select one creature under the control of each player, and one other creature.  Destroy all other creatures.  All creatures gain trample for this turn.
Epic (For the rest of the game, you can't play spells.  At the beginning of each of your upkeeps, copy this spell except for the Epic ability.  You may choose new targets for the copies.)

It's only gone to 9th edition? I stopped playing when 5th was new and that was years ago. I assumed they'd be in the teens by now.

Touga via the website:



Saionji and Anthy via Dante's program which Sey beat me to linking:



I like Gio's better but I still wanted to share. (It's also interesting I took part of the same quote used by the card posted by Frosty.)



This was just me messing around with gold cards. I'll do a better one later.

Excelllent card decisions, I'll put them on cards, as well as I can, (now I need to find a pic of a soul sword.. hmm)

Rose Signet
2
Artifact - Equipment
Equip 2
Equipped creature gains "T, deal damage to target creature equal to equipped creature's power and tap it.  Equipped creature takes damage equal to targeted creature's power.  Play this ability only during combat before attackers are declared."

Sword of the Dark Prince
8
Legendary Artifact - Equipment
Equip 8
Equipped creature gains "If this creature is blocked, you may destroy all non-white blockers at end of combat.  If you do, remove Sword of the Dark Prince from the game."

Dueling Arena
Legendary Land
T: Add one mana of any color to your mana pool.
WR: Two target creatures deal damage to each other equal to their power.

Akio's Observatory
Legendary Land
T:  Add U or B to your mana pool.
UB, T:  Remove target attacking creature from combat.  Play this ability only before blockers have been declared.


Edit:  Made Sword of the Dark Prince significantly less nuts by including sacrifice.

Very nice reworkings!    Sweet Seduction should sacrifice itself when it's empty.  Saionji's "remove this from play" should read "discard this" or "remove this from the game," depending on which is meant.  On Not So Different, "your opponents" should read "any opponent."  But these are incredibly minor nits.

And a small mess of equipment and related cards.

Anthy's ability cracks me up, and so does the fact that your note on her looks like flavor text   The effect is a good fit for the color, though I'm not sure Anthy is.

Ability is supposed to represent her ability to call up pretty much all the various bits of magical gear in the show.  I'm looking for something a little less flavorful for the second, though.

Sword of Dios is a f***ing powerful card even without the second ability.  I can kill one creature every turn starting about turn 8 (earlier if I'm playing green or red), and all I have to do is play white?

Good point.  Should definitely be more expensive....either require an untap cost, or perhaps reshuffle Sword of Dios back into the deck.

I don't understand what Soul-Sword does without knowing Black Rose Signet exists.  Should read "If a creature is imprinted on Soul-Sword, ..."  The combo is a very cool idea.

Re "Draw Soul Sword:" Why not just "search your library for a card named Soul-Sword and put it into play equipping target creature?"  I'm not sure there's a purpose to forcing you to play multiples.  You can't even use it to get rid of an opponent's creature, because you can't sacrifice other players' creatures.

Note that Soul-Sword HAS no imprint method on its' own, making it largely useless except with a few creatures from other sets that get a benefit for being equipped on their own.  "Draw Soul Sword" represents the Akio arc duels.  Imprint requres the imprinted card be removed from the game.  In effect, by playing this you end up with a critter that's twice as strong, and you can keep half that strength and put it on something else if you lose the critter.  Granted, if the sword gets destroyed you have sacked something for no gain, but that's the risk you run.

Also, the cost is Hybrid mana (Ravnica block)  Either White or Red can be used to pay for it.

Very interesting! 

Thank you.

I'm having a bit more trouble then I thought finding straight pictures of the Sword of Dios or Akio's Sword... if only I knew how to save (or even take!) images from DVD's... oh well... anyway, here are the few I've made on CMK's as well as one of my own.



Sorry in the card creator I use there isn't any double color like things.




Sorry about the last picture it's a bit grainy.

And some common critters.  I couldn't figure out a name for the green one but...introducing the Boys of the Black Rose!

Hopeful Duelist
1WW
Creature - Human Duelist
First Strike
2/1

Raging Duelist
1R
Creature - Human Duelist
Haste
2/2

Calculating Duelist
1U
Creature - Human Duelist
1/2

Vengeful Duelist
BB
Creature - Human Duelist
B: ~This~ gets +1/-1 till end of turn.
2/2

???? Duelist
2G
Creature - Human Duelist
1G:  ~This~ gets +1/+1 until end of turn.
1/1

CMK: I like the Black Rose duelists!  Calculating Duelist needs a hook, though; as it is he's inferior to Grizzly Bears, which are themselves increasingly inferior to modern 1G 2/2s.  (In Time Spiral alone, see Ashcoat Bear and Spinneret Sliver.)  Granted, he's blue, but still.  Green: "Instinctive Duelist?"

Anyway, my contribution:





Mostly uncommon.  The fit of effect to color is a little strained in a couple, but I'm happy with the flavor of the results.

I was strongly considering making him either Flying or Shadow (and in the latter case, upping the cost).  Or possibly allowing him to gain one or the other as an activated ability? 

Also, I like "Instinctive Duelist" a bit better, but thanks, I needed the root word.

...okay, last two for tonight, I promise

Sacrifice of 100 Duelists (Uncommon)
2RB
Sorcery
Deal three damage to all creatures, then place a Black Rose counter on all creatures in play.  Their creature type changes to Black Rose Duelist.

The Black Rose Blooms (Uncommon)
RBBU
Enchantment
All Black Rose Duelists gain +0/+2
