I put more effort into the copy token of this creature than I did into the original card's art. interesting. #hellscube #mtg #mtgtoken #mtgtokens

It Bears Repeating (Copy) {1}{G}
Token Enchantment Creature - Bear
As long as this creature isn't a token, you may pay {1}{G} to cast a copy of this card bestowed onto it. (Don't worry about this ability, this creature is a token.)
Enchanted creature gets +2/+2.
2/2

Art description: Zoomed-in art of Behold the Multiverse except that Niko's head has been replaced by that of Grizzly Bear's from Portal, his left hand has been replaced with Wilson, Refined Grizzly's (who you can also see overlaid on top of the shard), and the images in the shards have been replaced with different card art depicting bears. In clockwise order: the aforementioned Wilson, Refined Grizzly, Balduvian Bears, Grizzly Bears (LEA), the bear from Blizzard Brawl, and Grizzly Bears (7th Edition) for the one held atop [formerly Niko's] hand.

"Why don't you guys like playing with this [in 1v1]?" #hellscube #mtg #magicthegathering This card was designed for Hellscube 9, a custom card cube meant to emulate the powerlevel of LSV's Vintage Cube.

Fear of Initiative {1}{R}{W}
Enchantment Creature - Nightmare Saga
Set Symbol: Hellscube 9 Uncommon
(As this Saga enters and after your draw step, add a lore counter. Sacrifice after IV.)
I: Search your library for a basic land, put it into your hand, then shuffle.
II: Put two +1/+1 counters on target creature.
III: Each opponent loses 5 life.
IV: Draw a card.
Vigilance
3/3

Art Credit: Cristi Balanescu, Joseph Weston, Maxime Minard, Piotr Dura, Yigit Koroglu
Art Description: Inside a fungal cave in the Underdark, Norin is frantically running away (and through the card frame) from an Undercity reminder card with bloodstains on the rooms corresponding to this card's saga chapters with the final room, Throne of the Dead Three, ripped off. The nightmare creature thing featured in Fear of Being Hunted is also chasing him, with the head of White Plume Adventurer taking the place of the ghostly faces on its back. The split on the skull "face" of the card now contains a spiked plate from Vicious Battlerager, and the stream of souls coming from its head (in the original art) has been simplified to only have the cojoined face wearing the helmet from Vicious Battlerager.

"I heard we were playing Pauper, so I made something out of the stuff I had around!" #hellscube #magicthegathering #mtg #mtgpauper (This card was made for a custom card cube with a powerlevel around LSV's Vintage Cube.)

Introduction to Pauper
Conspiracy
Set Symbol: HC9 Common (I had to.)
Each player starts the game with a Sneaky Snacker in the graveyard. (It's a {U}{B} 2/1 Faerie Rogue creature with flying and "When you draw your third card in a turn, return this card from your graveyard to the battlefield tapped.")
Art credit: Brian Snoddy, Domenico Cava, Fajareka Setiawan, Greg Staples, Irina Nordsol, Kev Walkers, Matt Stewart, Rob Alexander, and Simon Dominic.

Card art description: The card depicts a whimsical cartoon person wearing a propeller cap and holding a hand of Magic cards. A blue Faerie (the titular Sneaky Snacker) is looking at the person's hand while snacking on a candy cane. To the left of the person lies a pile of bulk with a red arrow pointing from it to the person's hand and a Novice Inspector sitting in the bulk, edited to look like they're looking at the M21 printing of Colossal Dreadmaw. Behind the bulk is a Thraben Inspector and behind that is a Myr Enforcer (the original Mirrodin art). To the right and in front of the Myr Enforcer is a Troll of Khazad-dûm with a "Banned - Legacy" taken from Scryfall posted on top. To the direct right of the whimsical individual is a Writhing Chrysalis, and behind it is the thing being revived in Dread Return with a "Banned - Modern" thing pasted on top.
Finally, the background behind all of this is a Vault of Whispers (original art) with an enlarged "Banned - Modern" sticker and the machine from Urza's Power Plant placed inside of the central opening.

Sensei's Divining Top also ended up modified in the modernization of Kamigawa. #hellscube #magicthegathering #mtg Note: This card was made for a cube with a powerlevel around vintage cube's. Note 2: Thanks to Gametrodon and JuanDM (on the Hellscube Discord server) for making the art edit for me.

Image Description
Sensei's Awesome Fucking Beyblade {3}
Artifact (not a creature... yet)
The card art depcts Sensei's Divining top, except that its body appears larger, more conical, and absent of the engravings the original one had. There are Beyblade components attached to the top (apparently it's Impact Drake?) with the second, larger copy sticking out of the frame.
Set Symbol: Hellscube 9 Rare
First strike
{T}{T}{Q}{T}{T} (the taps are rotated in a way that you may treat this as though it costs {T}): Sensei's Awesome Fucking Beyblade becomes an attacking creature. If it's your declare attackers step, draw a card. Activate only during combat. (It doesn't stop being a creature after no longer attacking.)
*Spin Out* – {1}: Sensei's Awesome Fucking Beyblade stops being a creature. (This effect undoes the above effect of becoming a creature.)
2/1

My first serious Hellscube 9 submission. I swear I came up with the mechanical concept of the effect before using the comic as the main focus of the card. (more info on what Hellscube & purple are in replies) #magicthegathering #mtg #hellscube

Pip Reduction Surgery {P}
Sorcery
Set Symbol: Hellscube 9 Rare
Look at target opponent's hand. Choose [Reveal] a card in your hand and a nonland card in theirs. Note the colored pips in your card's mana cost. Your card becomes generic. (You may spend mana to cast this spell as though it were mana of any color.)
Add the noted mana to the cost of your opponent's card.
Art Credit: @silkentine

Comic (edited, will only note changes from the original comic):
(there is a yellow arrow pointing from "card in your hand" in the rules text to the woman in the yellow-and-red shirt in the first panel and an orange arrow pointing from "nonland card in theirs" to Garfield in the first panel.)
Panel 1: There is are mana pips ({1}{G}) over Garfield. There are two white pips ({W}{W}) over the woman's breasts.
Panel 2: Dialogue edited to "Your pip reduction was a success!". There is a stretched {2} in place of the previous double white pips.
Panel 3: Dialogue edited to "Where is the other card?" / "Who do you think took your pips?"
Panel 4: The big "NOOOOOO" was edited out to fit in the rules text. Garfield now has both the {1}{G} cost and the {W}{W} pips.

I was wondering what kept WoTC from printing a card that had a tower defense-like upgrade tree on a card, seeing as stuff like levels and Class enchantments exist. After making this card (and from how many revisions this card went through to the final ver.), I think I know why.

Sand Soldier TD {R/W}
Creature - Sand Soldier
Set Symbol: Sands of Hell Mythic
You may upgrade as a sorcery or permanently after drafting. (This creature has the characteristics of its furthest upgrade and costs {1} more if it was upgraded.)
1/1
===
(Upgrades are listed with their cost next to them. This is different from the creature's mana cost.)

Tier 1: (you have to get this upgrade before getting any Tier 2 upgrade)
Disciplined {1}
First strike
2/2

Tier 2:
Frontliner {2}{R}
First strike, haste, menace
3/2

Steadfast {2}{W}
First strike, reach, vigilance
2/4

People visiting the subreddit were not understanding the inclusion of draft mana in cards despite the announcement for the current side set explaining that being pinned at the top of the page (expected). Made a sort of "take that!" card which I later decided to refine into this. #hellscube

Emrakul's Information Station {5}
(Has a nickname frame displaying the original name as Enmity of Tourists)
Creature - Eldrazi Advisor
(Set symbol: Sands of Hell common)
*Educator* – Whenever this creature attacks, learn. *(You may reveal a Lesson card you own from outside the game and put it into your hand, or discard a card to draw a card.)*
Flavor: "Your free draft mana can be spent on abilities or spells you can activate or cast while deckbuilding (though some will say "during/after the draft" or "while drafting"). Unspent mana becomes basics of the corresponding color, or in this case, Wastes."
– Backside of the draft mana voucher

Hellscube started a new side project called Sands of Hell, which is a cube where we uh... lost the basic land box. In exchange, cards can give mana during draft to activate abilities or convert into basic lands of the corresponding color at the end of draft. Here's a card I got in.

Bluffed Abrades (original)
Land - Desert
When this land enters, each player secretly chooses bash or mash. Then those choices are revealed. If they were different, this land becomes prepared with what you chose. (This will either be the spell named 'Bash' or the spell named 'Mash'. While it’s prepared, you may cast a copy of the prepared spell. Doing so unprepares it.)
{T}: Add {R} or {W}.
//
Bash {1}{R}
Sorcery
Bash deals 3 damage to target creature.
//
Mash {1}{W}
Sorcery
Destroy target artifact.

Note: Bash and Mash are spells that this land can become prepared with. They cannot be cast if the land isn't on the battlefield or if the land isn't prepared with them.

Bluffed Abrades (edit to allow this to become prepared in multiplayer)
Land - Desert
When this land enters, choose an opponent. You and that player secretly choose bash or mash. Then those choices are revealed. If they were different, this land becomes prepared with what you chose. (This will either be the spell named 'Bash' or the spell named 'Mash'. While it’s prepared, you may cast a copy of the prepared spell. Doing so unprepares it.)
{T}: Add {R} or {W}.
//
Bash {1}{R}
Sorcery
Bash deals 3 damage to target creature.
//
Mash {1}{W}
Sorcery
Destroy target artifact.

Note: Bash and Mash are spells that this land can become prepared with. They cannot be cast if the land isn't on the battlefield or if the land isn't prepared with them.

unfortunately, Hellscube cards are meant to be functional in a Limited environment, and as a result, this card would likely not be voted in due to functionally being a 3 mana do-nothing the vast majority of the time. I will note that there was an submission for a card that stopped drawing 3 cards.

A custom Magic: the Gathering card named Cornflakes, submitted by a user named Mac.

Cornflakes is a colorless artifact card that costs {0} with the Food subtype. Its oracle text says "Players can't draw exactly 3 cards." and "Foodtext", which is shorthand for "{2}, {T}, Sacrifice this artifact: You gain 3 life."

anyone here heard of Hellscube? (fyi, Hellscube is a server dedicated to making cubes containing exclusively custom cards that "WoTC wouldn't design" but are still functional and play well together.)

Depicts a custom card I made that got into Hellscube's Homelands-inspired cube, Hecklands (HKL). The card is as follows:
Knock Off {2}{G} [Common]
Sorcery
Target creature you control fights target creature you don't control. (Each deals damage equal to its power to the other.)
Destroy all enchantments attached to and all counters on the creature you don't control.

Played the alabaster dawn demo. It was quite fun. Kept accidentally pressing the wrong keys for movements due to muscle memory from Crosscode (why can't I bind anything to LMB/RMB?).

This image depicts Juno (main playable character, white hair and center of screen) and Filia (person with red hair) in a room of the Trial of Aether dungeon section of the demo. I have accidentally charged up a Divine Art (special combat skill, marked by green particle effects and white arrows on the ground) named Bramble Quake whilst taking the screenshot.
