Got a little bored this morning and tried to see what I could do with the challenge. I'm not normally very good at imagining new cards. I wanted this guy to be ALMOST a lord for the other Chimeras, but not quite. I settled for strictly better and more expensive, with his abilities nice, but not too overpowered IMO. He could PROBABLY be bumped (and perhaps should be) to 6 mana, so it may need playtesting :)

Let me know what you guys think about Acid-Claw Chimera!

Very nice, and I think the card is quite balanced. Well done :p

Do I get a gold star? :D

Working on another one at the moment as well, this can be quite addicting :P

Create a card's are my favourite type of competitions on here, aside from the old evil challenge Sure had put up, so I'll definitely by thinking on this one Ded.
This should be interesting.

Here's my second pass at a create-a-chimera. It took me a while to figure this guy out (and his picture doesn't match the name obviously) but I feel it's a pretty decent card with good mechanics and playability with other Chimeras without being too broken or overpowered. Also adds a bit of interesting mechanic as well. Let me know what you guys think of this one!

here it is

This would keep your play on althought there are very few other chimeras, plus it will make chimeras be very agresive

That image needs to be a bit bigger. I got a migraine trying to read it :P

It also needs to be a bit clearer in its wording. I think I understood what you wanted from it, something along the lines of "When Uproar Chimera enters the battlefield, put a +1/+1 counter on it for each Chimera creature you control." Right? Seems like that's what you meant.

Also the tap ability should specify more clearly what exactly it means. Is it if the Chimera went to the graveyard from anywhere? Including discard? Or should it be something like "2T: Return to your hand target Chimera creature card that was put into a graveyard from play this turn" sort of deal?

Either way, looks pretty solid. Haste is an interesting idea and giving all Chimeras haste might be a little fun to play around with. Hard to playtest ideas though :(

I have failed. I basically made the pontiac aztek when I tried.

The only time anyone truly fails is when they give up. Do you give up?

Well, I wanted to make a Chimera with the old effect of sacrificing it to make another chimera better, but I wound up making a 2/1 version of Tin-Wing Chimera for :mana2:. Thus, the Pontiac Aztek.
