I mainly posted this to see what ideas I can get from actual Fallout fans. I'm in desperate need of sorcery and instant cards and I was wondering if anyone has any ideas of what I can do. MTG works great with flavor and can capture just about any instance to some degree. For example, take the -1/-1 counters and the Glowing One.
-1/-1 counters represent radiation. While most creatures would die from it, Glowing One is actually healed by them, and that's not all. Creatures you control with -1/-1 counters on them are also healed by them.
I feel like I've gotten just about every race, I even have a Nightkin Commando and the spore plants, so I really don't need that much help with new creatures.
Here are some instant and sorcery cards I've worked on already:
Aggravate: Makes a target creature gain a -1/-1 counter and block this turn if able. I added this for a pretty good common as well as to show how the radiation can make creatures go into a frenzied state.
Frantic Salvage: Put any amount of artifacts in your graveyard on top of the library. I didn't actually design this, it's a reprint of an existing card, but I think the flavor shows the Brotherhood perfectly. The BoS don't make their own technology (artifacts), they just pick it up off the ground and clean it up.
Nuclear Anomaly: Sacrifice a creature, put five -1/-1 counters on target creature. Basically is how it is in the game, except death is the trigger instead of low health since it only makes more sense this way for MTG.
As you can see, it can be flavorful. I'm not asking you to give me the actual design, I'm just looking for suggestions as to what kinds of designs I can make.
