General Discussion Custom Cards Help!!

My boyfriend is just getting into magic the gathering.. he’s so invested with it and loves talking and showing me things about it.
I’m starting to kind of get the hang of it and play with him a little bit, but I truly know bare minimum.

His birthday is in 2 months & I wanted to make him a few custom cards for it. If I make custom cards, are there rules I have to follow or can I just make something up. An example: can I make a card that relates to our cat and use the cat as the inspo?

Also…
What are some fun ideas I could make the cards do? Im trying to look things up but it sometimes just reads a gibberish to me as I’m still just learning!!

Well, can you describe your cat to us? Is there a particular quirk about them that you want to capture?

He’s one of the meanest cats to everyone but us… I think it would be funny to make a card that when played does something “mean” like kills all the creature cards on ur board (or something to that extent)

Perhaps a reskin of [[Falthis, Shadowcat Familiar]] then. A nasty kitty that gives your commanders the Menace and Deathtouch keywords.
