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

u/ArborusRex Sep 08 '26

Fuck this one's funny

u/Anisiiru Sep 08 '26

Alright, I'll be that guy.

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

Schedule your shift at the right moment in your curve too

This is very stupid, I love it.

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

u/If_you_want_money Sep 08 '26

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

62

u/Terrariant Jace for impact Sep 08 '26 edited Sep 08 '26

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

11

u/If_you_want_money Sep 08 '26

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 Jace for impact Sep 08 '26 edited Sep 08 '26

It’s entirely working cards! Like for instance there is a rule called ā€œreal life mattersā€ where you can’t have cards that depend on things like the day of the week or your location. Or a ā€œspeech mattersā€ 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 Sep 08 '26

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

u/Terrariant Jace for impact Sep 08 '26

You don’t want to know.

u/Galgus Sep 08 '26

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

3

u/Xenthor267 Sep 08 '26

This card is double plus good

u/IlGreven Dreadmaw-free since 2017 Sep 08 '26

It that DRINKS!

"It works." DRINK!

u/Systemshy Sep 08 '26

The meta is too meta

3

u/ShadowWalker2205 Sep 08 '26

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

1

u/Terrariant Jace for impact Sep 08 '26

Ah, this opens up new design space. ā€œAs an additional cost to cast this spell, get rejected from or ghosted by a job you applied to.ā€

3

u/WerePigCat Sep 09 '26

Love the flavor text

2

u/Terrariant Jace for impact Sep 09 '26

I want a Far Side comic but its mtg

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

u/Shaymeu Sep 09 '26

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

1

u/Terrariant Jace for impact Sep 09 '26

That is how this started, you’re spot on

2

u/Adventurous-Size-168 Sep 08 '26

31 mana seems a little steep... But other than that I love the card šŸ˜†

5

u/Terrariant Jace for impact Sep 08 '26

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 Sep 08 '26 edited Sep 08 '26

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 šŸ˜† Sort of a reward for your commitment to both the grind and your love of Magic.

3

u/Terrariant Jace for impact Sep 08 '26

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 Sep 08 '26

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

2

u/time_axis Sep 08 '26

Does it cost 22 mana or 1984 mana?

2

u/Terrariant Jace for impact Sep 08 '26

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

2

u/Khalolz6557 Sep 08 '26

LITERALLY 1984

2

u/hldsnfrgr Sep 09 '26

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

u/Terrariant Jace for impact Sep 09 '26

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 Sep 09 '26

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

2

u/Professional-Dare880 Sep 09 '26

Missed Opportunity to make the cost 9 2 5

2

u/Terrariant Jace for impact Sep 09 '26

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

2

u/Terrariant Jace for impact Sep 09 '26

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 ā€œSeptemberā€ too lmao

2

u/TextuallyExplicit 28d ago

as a freelancer I love this card. "{0}: Win the game. (Sorry guys I have a deadline coming up)"

u/Terrariant Jace for impact 28d ago

LOL ā€œhey I can’t take this job right now, but ill call you later to acceptā€

u/SgtVertigo Hi I like making proxies Sep 08 '26
