hey /tg/, i need to do a bit of a thought experiment to help me get ready to run a game. i need you to pick three magic cards the rules for the cards you pick must be as follows:
>CMC 3 or less
>all 3 cards must be a single color
>all 3 cards must be the same color
>all 3 cards must be from the same block, they cannot be from a block then a return to block
>nothing from alpha, beta unlimited or revised
thanks for your help guys.
Just say you want us to build you a tiny leaders deck and be done with it.
WIld Mongrel
Basking Rootwalla
Nimble Mongoose
How could this possibly be of use to you?

well, some people asked me to put together a game. they wanted the cards to be used in the game. i've kinda got something together to make the cards interact with the existing system. this thread is more or less to force me to figure out cards beyond those being used by my players.
>>43852149
Champion of the Parish
Thalia, Guardian of Thraben
Silverblade Paladin
The same block restriction rules out some interesting answers.
>>43852304
the idea is that the players will start off being from one plane, knowing only spells from it, as they travel the multi-verse they can pick up new spells and learn them from each other.
>>43852327
The previous one was Innistrad block. Scars block would be
Leonin Arbiter
Blade Splicer
Mirran Crusader
And lastly the Alara Block
Ethersworn Canonist
Knight of the White Orchid
Path to Exile
Put these three together, and you have unlocked White as the Colour of Tyranny.
There is nothing quite as opressive as Thalia, Leonin Arbiter and Ethersworn Canonist in the same team. The other listed cards are just plain old strong beaters and the good old Arbiter + Path combo.
>>43852149
Urza Block
Gilded Drake
Miscalculation
Snap
>>43852149
Scars Red
Kuldotha Rebirth
Galvanic Blast
Ichor Wellspring
>>43852149
Dark Ritual
Contamination
Yawgmoth's Will
Entomb
Tainted Pact
Death Wish
Sounds like this:

I actually read through this in is entirety and then decided I wouldn't use it.
Black Sun's Zenith
Dismember
Praetor's Grasp
Bloodsoaked Champion
Grim Haruspex
Virulent plague
Fog
Giant Growth
Birds of Paradise
>>43852217
>figure out cards beyond those being used by my players.
But this is pointless. You should have specified cards that we'd actually use, or cards that have synergy. Someone could just pick three stupid cards for flavor text reason or nice art.
>>43852149
White, Onslaught Block
Mobilization
Catapult Squad
Words of Worship
>>43852149
Mirrodin, colourless:
Nuisance Engine
Scythe of the Wretched
Loxodon Warhammer
Build your own mini-deathstar
>>43857535
And would there be anything wrong with that? I dont think so. I wouldn't put them at a disadvantage over this. It wouldn't hurt them. Remember this is for an RPG, not a card game
Black, Ravnica block:
Thoughtpicker Witch
Dark Confidant
Shred Memory
serious mindgames
>>43862510
>>43858296
>>43857519
>>43855497
You are the kind of people I would love to have in this game
>>43852149
Elite Inquisitor, Gatstaf Shepherd, Stromkirk Noble. Done and done.
>>43862779
Forgot set; Innistrad
Wild Mongrel
Werebear
Moment's Peace
>>43852149
Im curious about the experiment, tell me moar
>>43863037
It's just a personal test of how I can make the cards interact with the game. I have a rough idea as it stands but it helps to get cards I wouldn't think of tossed out there for me to work on.
>>43863451
You should really put a rarity limit on the choices, OP.
>>43863612
Why is this? At generation they can have whatever they want. After that it might be harder to find rare spells and such.
Onslaught Block
Decree of Annihilation
Aggravated assault
Commando Raid
If this thread gathers enough attention or there are any people in it who want to play I would kinda like to run a test game/campaign...
>>43867678
You have my attention.
Figured I should pick some that might be problematic to work with, testing the system and all.
Kamigawa Block:
White:
Sensei Golden-Tail
Hold the Line
Plow Through Reito
Blue:
Kami of the Crescent Moon
Shape Stealer
Kira, Great Glass-Spinner
Black:
One with Nothing
Pain's Reward
Gnat Miser
Red:
Captive Flame
Zo-Zu the Punisher
Mannichi, the Fevered Dream
Green:
Azusa, Lost but Seeking
Dense Canopy
Heartbeat of Spring
Colorless:
Kusari-Gama
Neko-Te
Umezawa's Jitte
>>43867786
>kamigawa
that shit played so poorly with anything other than itself, but fuck it was cool. keep your eyes in game finder threads, i might post something.
>>43867678
It sounds fun as shit, and I would love to at an elementalist from Lorwyn, but I don't know that I would ever have the time.
Flamekin Harbinger
Smoke Braider
Rage Forger or Incandescent Soulstoke
>>43867955
Well, if you're serious about setting up a campaign with your system, better to put it through its paces before trying to implement it full scale right?
Just be glad you don't have to deal with: Raging River, Smoke, and Mana Flare.
On the other hand, Shadowmoor Block:
Necroskitter
Crumbling Ashes
Blowfly Infestation/Corrosive Mentor
>>43867678
Guy who posted Time Spiral and Mirrodin silliness here. I'd certainly be interested in testing the magic system, though I don't have enough time for a campaign.
Darksteel artifacts:
Skullclamp
Arcbound Ravager
Genesis Chamber
Fifth Dawn artifacts/5 colour:
Engineered Explosives
Doubling Cube
Staff of Dominion
Ice Age:
Baton of Morale
Glacial Chasm
Arcum's Weathervane
This sounds really neat.
How would Wrath spells work in this? Would they destroy the caster? Would such spells destroy the player's allies? What about damage sweepers like Blasphemous Act? Can the player cast Auras that normally say "enchant creature" and not "enchant player" on themselves?
>>43852149
Hmm, this is interesting.
Conspiracy "block"
Marchesa's Infiltrator
Traveler's Cloak
Brainstorm
Vodalian Soldiers
Vodalian War Machine
Merseine
Assuming you can cast the same spell multiple times
Scars Colourless
Myr Galvaniser
Palladium Myr
Myr Propagator
Enjoy your swarm of Myr and infinite mana

Goryo's Vengeance

> it helps to get cards I wouldn't think of tossed out there for me to work on
Except this will help you do nothing, since there are thousands upon thousands of wildly different Magic cards out there. Figuring out how to implement Sunburst in-game won't help you figure out how to implement Madness.
>>43873708
But it will. It helps me establish how this works for different mechanics and helps me get a better gasp of the mechanics.
>>43869767
Wrath of god would likely destroy any none planeswalkers that are below a certain hit points. Most wrath spells haven't been brought up. A VAST majority of spells are ultimately going to need to scale with the level of the player.
Liliana of the Veil
Blood Artist
