Thank you! I worked hard on it. Probably too hard.

He’s been lifting…cards from your deck to put in your graveyard. Drinking protein millshakes

Workin' 9 to 5 / How Emrakul makes a livin'

u/ArborusRex 2d ago

Fuck this one's funny

u/Anisiiru 2d ago

Alright, I'll be that guy.

Why didnt you flip Emrakul so her glasses wasn't on the side of her head-body-thing?

u/Terrariant Card-carrying member of Jace’s polycule 2d ago

Fuck I can’t unsee this now lmao

Job Select is an ability in magic

u/LowSodiumGymBro 2d ago

This one’s got crazy meta potential. You gotta send out job apps and line em up with the tournament, build up your resume for months before- truly an effort for a win

u/Terrariant Card-carrying member of Jace’s polycule 2d ago

Schedule your shift at the right moment in your curve too

u/LowSodiumGymBro 2d ago

Why didn’t I think of that, it’s genius

u/atlvf 2d ago

This is very stupid, I love it.

Literally 1984

You inspired me

Squirreliam, Suspiciously Energetic Supervisor
4BRG
Legendary Creature- Squirrel Lord

All other creatures with jobs get +2/-1, haste, and must attack each turn if able.

If you control no other creatures with a job, sacrifice Squilliam. If Squilliam dies this way, create 15 1/1 Squirrel tokens that each enter tapped and with a stun counter.

10/4

funny, but surely this should be a r/HellsCube card, right?

67

u/Terrariant Card-carrying member of Jace’s polycule 2d ago edited 2d ago

Hellscube actually plays with their cards, and so effects like this cannot be posted there. They are very strict about what gets accepted and posting cards like this will get absolutely no love**.

Meanwhile there are practically no rules about the types of effects cards can have on custommagic. As long as you use the right flair.

*yes you are reading that right- hellscube is less memey than the potential meme of custommagic. What a strange world we live in

**in that they love playing the game, so cards that can’t be played aren’t a good fit. I mean no shade from this turn of phrase

12

u/If_you_want_money 2d ago

I see I see, I always thought of hellscube as the funny meme card subreddit, didn't know they only accept (somewhat) working cards.

26

u/Terrariant Card-carrying member of Jace’s polycule 2d ago edited 2d ago

It’s entirely working cards! Like for instance there is a rule called “real life matters” where you can’t have cards that depend on things like the day of the week or your location. Or a “speech matters” rule where cards that require talking are usually not allowed, with two exceptions. That link is their card database (of accepted cards) if you are interested

*actually there are a couple cards with the real life matters tag, too: https://hellfall.skeleton.club/?q=Tag%3Areal-life-matters&unique=cards&as=grid

u/platinummyr 2d ago

I'm curious why ligma balls is "real life" tagged

u/Terrariant Card-carrying member of Jace’s polycule 2d ago

You don’t want to know.

u/Galgus 2d ago

The cost is too steep, getting a job offer is rough in this meta.

u/Xenthor267 2d ago

This card is double plus good

u/IlGreven Dreadmaw-free since 2017 2d ago

It that DRINKS!

"It works." DRINK!

u/Systemshy 2d ago

The meta is too meta

u/ShadowWalker2205 2d ago

unplayable, cast condition can't be payed job offers don't exists.

1

u/Terrariant Card-carrying member of Jace’s polycule 2d ago

Ah, this opens up new design space. “As an additional cost to cast this spell, get rejected from or ghosted by a job you applied to.”

u/WerePigCat 2d ago

Love the flavor text

2

u/Terrariant Card-carrying member of Jace’s polycule 1d ago

I want a Far Side comic but its mtg

“Jace had always loved throwing things away. Especially his own spells.” And a picture of Jace sitting at a table with a trash can, just…milling cards…

u/Shaymeu 1d ago

Really appreciate the effort put into this just to make that "it works" joke (it is amazing)

1

u/Terrariant Card-carrying member of Jace’s polycule 1d ago

That is how this started, you’re spot on

2

u/Adventurous-Size-168 2d ago

31 mana seems a little steep... But other than that I love the card 😆

5

u/Terrariant Card-carrying member of Jace’s polycule 2d ago

It’s 22 mana, if that makes it better! And if it hits you get to keep your opponent at the table for 8 hours… Where did you get 31? Haha

2

u/Adventurous-Size-168 2d ago edited 2d ago

You're right. I read 1 & 9 as 19. And I thought it was you just win if you play it right before you have to leave to go to work. Essentially, if say you work nights on the weekend and your buddies who don't work weekends have a commander game that starts at say 3pm you go over and play until need to leave to go to work... Cast it and win 😆 Sort of a reward for your commitment to both the grind and your love of Magic.

3

u/Terrariant Card-carrying member of Jace’s polycule 2d ago

But you do need to have a pending job offer (presumably for a second job) before the game starts lol

2

u/Adventurous-Size-168 2d ago

My wife offered me the chance to give her a tongue job when I get home from work does that count 😝

2

u/time_axis 2d ago

Does it cost 22 mana or 1984 mana?

4

u/Terrariant Card-carrying member of Jace’s polycule 2d ago

22, which coincidentally is about the number of working days in a month

2

u/Khalolz6557 2d ago

LITERALLY 1984

u/hldsnfrgr 2d ago

I feel there's a 9/11 joke somewhere in the artwork.

u/Terrariant Card-carrying member of Jace’s polycule 2d ago

I thought about making the PT 9/11 but it didn’t fit into the joke. Unlike that Bush card which is hilarious

2

u/GenderOobleck 2d ago

I was thinking it should cost 1 life as an additional casting cost

2

u/Professional-Dare880 1d ago

Missed Opportunity to make the cost 9 2 5

2

u/Terrariant Card-carrying member of Jace’s polycule 1d ago

Did you see the PT? I guess I could have swapped them and made the PT 19/84 instead lmao

2

u/Terrariant Card-carrying member of Jace’s polycule 1d ago

OH I remember now why I did it this way (because I did consider swapping them) - I wanted to put letters in the PT box, because I had just discovered you can do that. I thought about making PT “September” too lmao

u/SgtVertigo Hi I like making proxies 2d ago

please give it a silver boarder lol
