You now have my complete, utter, and full attention.

Well don't I feel special.  Well, I'm an Orc, so I guess my type, keeping in 
line with the Admin one, would be "Creature -- Legendary Orc B Nomic 
Player".  And by the way, the cards did go back to that format, rather than 
the Summon Blah Blah, and under the current rules, "B" and "Nomic", as they 
are seperate words, are seperate subtypes.  Anyway..

Lesse.  Orcs are cheap, and cost red.  I've got a spacesuit, and so high 
toughness is good, as well as, perhaps "(R): Orc In A Spacesuit gains Flying 
until end of turn.  Orc In A Spacesuit deals himself 1 damage."  And my big 
rule changes...
[[
(2): Roll a 6-sided die.  The following happens based on the roll:
1: All players may search their deck, choosing a creature card in it and 
putting it into play.
2: All players may search their deck, choosing an enchantment card in it and 
putting it into play.
3: For each player, a random creature is chosen, and all chosen creatures 
gain a random one of these abilities:  Flying, Shadow, Phasing, Flanking" or 
"2, Sacrifice this creature: Search your deck for a creature card and put it 
into play." until this ability is used again.
4: All Players may vote Yes or No.  If at least half of all players vote 
Yes, all cards in all zones, including any removed from game, are shuffled 
into their owner's libraries, each player's life is set to their original 
life totals, each player draws cards equal to their hand size, and all 
actions on the stack are removed from it.
5: Tap Orc in a Spacesuit (darn computer!)
6: Tap any creature named Glotmorf that has done leathal damage to any 
player, and Orc In A Spacesuit.
This ability may be played by any player, but only once per turn.

I'd want to do more card-specific interactions, rather than this long stuff, 
but don't know enough about the other new cards.

Flavor text.  That should not be my decision, but it's needed.  For all 
these cards.  Perhaps some of our quotes?

Finally, I gotta do uin.  I wasn't here when he was around, but I've seen 
enough of the archives.

Uniquely Identifying Names         4
Creature -- Legendary B Nomic Player
3: Choose any ability on any permanant.  All permanants with that ability 
lose it as long as UIN remains in play.  Another random player may do the 
same, but may not choose this ability.  Any player may pay 3 life to counter 
this ability.

I'm guessing you don't want a 1600x1200 24-bit color depth jpeg... guess 
I'll have to keep looking.  For gnomes, you gotta get some stuff from 
Invader Zim.
