I don't know how I feel about a creature that dies if nothing else is on your field.
>>46879813
Probably the same as i feel about a green artifact that makes you pay life.
Ok. A bit of tinkering done. Trying to get Sunrise Dancer to actually be worth a Rare.
That and finally finding even a vaguely white-coloured SFW lamia.
>>46880160
>Trying to get Sunrise Dancer to actually be worth a Rare.
Tell me the bare minimum things you want to have with Sunrise Dancer. Mana cost, P/T, ability, all of it.
>>46880407
>Fat ass (General theme with the lamias)
>Red
>4CMC (Fit with the cycle)
>Good place to just dump mana you've got left over.
That's the theme I've been going with all of them.
>>46880491
Well, I can see why you're having trouble. Big butts in Red isn't the most common occurrence. I'm thinking of some kind of P/T switching or flowstone effect. Maybe something like
>1R: ~ gets +2/-1 until end of turn.
>>46880623
The concern I have with that is that +2/-1 for 1R is worse than just going 'Has firebreathing'.
My usual idea of 'Give it haste' doesn't really work on an expensive firebreather as you have no mana to make it work and red hasn't got too many other evergreens.
>>46878355
>Naga is a very rarely used subtype
Only because it was first used in KTK block.
>>46880491
Maybe make it a fat pinger? Like
XXR: ~ does X damage to target creature (or player)?
Finally finished these, I think.
>>46883083
Draconic Devotee

>>46883083
I feel like Sandsteppe Survivalist is super easy to break.
>>46883278
It, not him, on Dr. Banner, and Hulk should read "when this creature transforms into Hulk, Breaker of Worlds..." as transforming doesn't cause the creature to leave the battlefield.
>>46880491
You know unless you're trying for snake tribal, you could just make them Lamia creatures. It's an official creature type, even though there's only one right now...

Suggestions for fixes? "Activate this ability only once each turn"?
I've seen high-resolution cards on here a number of times. How do you make Magic Set Editor do higher resolutions? It's a different template right? Or do they not even use MSE?
>>46886392
It's a different template, but you'll need someone to give it to you as it's not supported.
>>46884887
The "When" needs to be capitalized, dude.
>>46886186
That's what I was going to suggest.
Sliverbump.
>>46888007
Can I has high res template?
Also, that sliver is awesome. Makes sliver decks able to run stuff other than slivers :D

>>46888167
Thanks :D
>>46888098
You cared enough to open the character map to get Æ, but not enough to fix changeling's reminder text?
>>46883083
While these are nice, and I love the idea of cycle filling, it sucks that only the two real cards feature keywords. Yours are cool, but would be more in line if they were each from seemingly different worlds with an in-set keyword.
I like it, but I dont know if its good.
>>46880623
Where can I see all of your CO cards? Is the set playable in a cube yet?
>>46888167
Sorry to keep bugging you, but how do you zoom out? Is there a setting in MSE somewhere?
>>46890068
Did you even try to look through menus? Christ, how does anybody get anything done anymore?Edit -> Preferences -> Figure it out from there or there's no hope for you
>>46888352
Character map? Oh no, I don't even know how to open it; I just know it's 0198. I also know 0208! :3
It's an old/abandoned card though, and didn't know they updated the reminder, will change it.
>>46889630
Ajor#1 has memory issues, should simplify.
Ajor#2
+2 Good, but too good for a hybrid, 4cmc, easy to transform card.
-3 Ehhh. It's good, but I don't like that kind of permanency.
-10 Underwhelming when compared to the others, but it's this card's best bit. Keep this, rework the rest.
>>46889822
>Ixi
The first bit makes me angry, other abilities are good, but it should be able to swing.
>Cass

>Gordu
I'd make it have equal P/T.
Quite love this card, feels like a card of days past, a la Force of Nature and the like.
Please credit the artists, great choice of artwork on the cards.
>>46890100
The last time I found the setting myself for something in MSE it took me like half an hour and then had to search google and forums and stuff. Figured I'd just ask this time instead of wasting all that time. Thanks for the help BTW.
>>46890520
Thanks for the review, i'll try to rework them.
How broken are these?
>>46890643
That second ability does NOT feel white at all
>>46891080
>Rak Ugar
Whenever a creature dealt damage by ~ this turn dies, exile that creature. Search its controller's graveyard, hand, and library for all cards with the same name as that creature and exile them. Then that player shuffles his or her library.
>Deadlands
You put charge counters, the ability doesn't need to specify creatures on the battlefield and its number of counters not amount
>Genesis Engine
Counters need a name. You should also consider just modeling it after scapeshift.
>>46891104
I'm not normally a fan of Kazy or his cards, but in his defense, it's a balance effect, and it is white. The card itself is busted as fuck though; 4 mana for a fat-bottomed double striker that can wipe out two permanents a turn? I mean I dunno what his kitchen table looks like but he does this kind of shit all the time. At least make it heavy in the white mana dude, fuck's sake.
>>46891267
I do, I do. I find it much easier to tone down, than 'tone up'; and on top of that, I have a history of minmaxing RPG games. It's what I'm used to.
I'll lower it's Alena's T.
Also,especially because you don't usually like my cards,would you like to playtest my set?
I value feedback, even when many times it may not seem like that.
>>46891800
Did you finish making the file for your set?
>>46891080
>If a creature dealt damage by ~ this turn would die, exile it instead. Search its controller's graveyard, hand, and library for any number of cards with the same name as that creature and exile those cards, then that player shuffles his or her library.

>At the beginning of your upkeep, if ~ has ten or more [countername] counters on it, sacrifice it. If you do, search your library for up to ten permanent cards and put them onto the battlefield, then shuffle your library.
You don't "place" counters on things, you "put" them on. Come on senpai.
>>46889822
Shouldn't Gordu, Wandering Golem be, you know, a Golem? Otherwise, I agree with >>46890520. Although I understand why Ixi has no power.
Dinking around with a new mechanic. I really like Auras, and think that they need something to distinguish them more from Equipment, besides being basically worse. Totem Armor was a good step in that direction, and I thought about using it, but I then thought "well this is a custom set, so shouldn't I make a custom mechanic?" So I thought about it for a bit, and then thought how well-received cards tend to be that replace themselves, like Doomed Traveler, and so I thought that maybe that could be what Auras could do; you "get something back" when they go to the yard, so it doesn't feel like you're always getting 2 for 1ed. And since Totem Armor has a lock down on "regen" type effects that save the permanent they are enchanting, I thought a "reshape" effect that gives you a new Aura card could be fun. It means you might actually want to draft Auras, and you can thin your deck with it a little while getting some value out of an enchanted creature getting killed. Thoughts? At first I was going to have it do like Squadron Hawk and look for itself, but that means drafting more than one copy of any Aura, and that it'd suck on higher rarity cards. So I made it more flexible. Sure you can theoretically have a one-mana Aura grab you a six mana Aura but you still gotta be able to cast it or get it onto the field somehow, so at least initially it doesn't seem busted, so I don't think I need to do the Soulshift thing with it, but let me know if you think otherwise.
It also has the benefit of fitting in with the set's theme of "get something for losing something", so that's a nice flavor bonus.
>>46892260
Oops, needs to reveal that Aura, but you get the idea.
Bleh. New Superman because the last design didn't do too well. Trying to go for the idea of Superman is a sort of beacon of hope for others. Probably fucked it up. Ignore the art, it's just placeholder art.
>>46892260
>the graveyard
This needs to be changed to specify any graveyard, or the owner's graveyard. This in turn determines if the controller gets the tutor, or the owner.
>>46892260
>When this {if is_creature(card.super_type) then "creature dies" else "is put into a graveyard from the battlefield"}, you may search your library for an Aura card and reveal it. If you do, put the revealed card into your hand, then shuffle your library.
>>46892451
Not it wouldn't it always goes into its owner's graveyard. That it specifies you, means that the controller of the aura searches.
>>46892525
>When this permanent is put into a graveyard from the battlefield
>When this permanent is put into your graveyard from the battlefield
See the difference?
>>46892451
I noticed it needs to shuffle as well. I think since you can't put things into your library, graveyard, and hand that you don't own, I don't need to specify that, but I do need to specify that the Aura's owner tutors, yeah
>Supes giving an anthem
Hm. Not a bad idea, honestly. I almost want to suggest trying giving him vigilance (i know, i know) and a tap ability that gives another creature you control hexproof UEOT. That way he can "save" people but he can't be everywhere at once (yes I was thinking of Pa Kent dying when I thought of this just now). I dunno. Some of these heroes are just gonna be tough nuts to crack.
>>46892580
Actually hm. If Boon is only ever going to be on beneficial auras, I wouldn't need to specify the controller but, but... that also means I can't use it on detrimental auras. So maybe I should specify owner tutors, and change the name to something that doesn't make it sound like it only belongs on beneficial stuff.
>>46892260
I'd do it like transmute, where you pay 3 mana and exile it from your graveyard to tutor an aura. As is, a lot of the value would be in replacing itself, rather than the aura's abilities.
>>46892383
and shuffle
>>46892451
It's alright, but nothing particularly Superman about it. Or green really.
>>46892563
If the second one was the case, nobody would search if you controlled but didn't own it.
>>46892580
>Aura's owner tutors
I would actually suggest making the controller tutor, instead of the owner. It just feels cleaner to me that way. Actually, allow me to provide you with a template, because your reminder text has a few things wrong.
>When this [permanent/Aura] is put into [a/your] graveyard from the battlefield, you may search your library for an Aura card, reveal it, and put it into your hand. Then shuffle your library.
I think this gets the point across well enough. First, I want you to think about what cards you'll put this on. Will it be cards of all types, or just Auras? Second, the second part where I give you multiple choices is very important. By specifying "a" graveyard, the effect works for the controller. By specifying "your" graveyard, the effect works for the owner.
>>46892640
>transmute
The reason I didn't do this is basically pic related. It'd be a shitty choice sometimes, and while choice is good, something that's supposed to be a benefit turning into a hard choice isn't very enjoyable.
>>46892650
Oh shit, you're right. It would be something like
>its owner's graveyard from the battlefield
My bad.
>>46892580
>Some of these heroes are just gonna be tough nuts to crack.
I've noticed.
>>46892640
>It's alright, but nothing particularly Superman about it. Or green really.
So, more or less like my last idea. Fuck.
>>46892664
>controller tutor
This either limits me to purely beneficial Auras, or makes it feel shitty for the Aura's owner when their opponent gets a free tutor. If I do it that the owner always gets the tutor, as I said, I can do detrimental Auras too, like Dead Weight or Stab Wound. I'd just need to rename it.
also I think I caught all the mistakes in the wording, it just took me three posts to do so.
>>46892757
You still control auras even if you attach them to an opponent's permanents.
>>46892811
Wow. Gimme another beer, I'm not retarded enough yet. You're right, my bad. Whew.
Still might want to rename it though.
>>46892888
Every time I see this picture I think of Biollante. It's an interesting card... isn't there a green one that kinda does this sort of thing too? Something Cocoon?
>>46892904
>Dash on an Aura
Well fuck you too Anon; teach you to be more clever than me.So jellymad I didn't ever think of this; I love Dash too.
>>46892918
This would be a good way to do Licids in the future.
>>46892918
Licids AND Shadow? Well, you're one for throwbacks.
>>46893002
>Well fuck you too Anon
Wow, I really feel sorry for you. That's probably the third or fourth time I've seen that concept.
>>46893071
Well la tee freakin' da Mr. Cleverman.
>ring
Works/10. It seems like something that'd "make" a basic hero at least. Doesn't need to be flashy.
>>46893246
I was just saying that I've seen the concept before. Though now I have to ask you if you're starting to think about using it for your Auras.
>>46893291
Maybe. Part of me wonders if it's a better idea than this whole Boon business, but I want things to go to the yard in this set so maybe not. Still, it's something to think about for future sets, if I remember that is.
Also I renamed Boon to Lore. It fits a bit better with the set flavor and sounds less odd when it's on detrimental Auras. I also locked it to the Aura type so it won't be popping up on any creatures or anything.
>spider-bot
I like this version of it, actually. The fact that you get the peep on attack, not on damage, makes it pretty close to worth the cost, especially since it has evasion.
>>46880160
I'm not 100 percent sure noon dancer's ability works within the rules. In any case, I think it'd be slightly more flavorful in white if it was "prevent all combat damage target unblocked attacking creature would deal this turn"
>>46893355
Unfortunately, this means I must now use this link again.
http://mtgsalvation.gamepedia.com/Substance
Please read that page. But if you don't, the TL;DR is that saccing on end step for Auras is a tricky, confusing business. Make a new keyword for Auras that moves saccing to the cleanup step instead.
>Spider-Bot
Cool, thanks. Oh, and thanks for what you said about the Ring too. Not going for anything flashy with either card, just something that works. Sometimes focusing on simpler things helps when I hit a roadblock like Supes.
>>46891104
Conditional white removal that makes both players equal?
I think it works.
>>46893468
>I'm not 100 percent sure noon dancer's ability works within the rules.
Actually, there is a spell with that very effect. Curtain of Light.
Works fine, though it does absolutely nothing to stop a trampler from wrecking your shit.
>>46893468
He's trying to use this effect. That said, he does have a few things to correct with his wording. (The Oracle text of this card is much more technical and complex than the print seen here.)
>>46893468
>>
>>46893523
OK, not that much more technical. I'm too tired for this. But yes, as >>46893520 points out, Tramplers will ruin your day.
>>46893523
>>46880160
>Noon Dancer
He should use Trap Runner's errata.
[T]: Target unblocked attacking creature becomes blocked. Activate this ability only during combat after blockers are declared. (This ability works on creatures that can't be blocked.)
Making my appearance in the new thread. Changed Dismantle's wording to be more open-ended. Not sure if I'm gonna do Fortifications or not, but this seemed like a good idea to start with. Espionage is an idea, but I don't think I like it. Still would rather have black's mechanic be something to do with Pollution (maybe some sort of land interaction, making fortifications an interesting possibility again). As for the white guys, just a thematic idea I had.
>>46892260
Repeatable tutoring is a little broken - I don't think there's ever been a keyword that let's you search up your stuff, and I think to properly balance it you'd need the boon cards to be more costed than you'd like. I think this card would be better as 1W with boon being draw a card instead of tutoring.
>>46893480
Ah, for if I try to use Dash. So actually making a new keyword would be better, if I intended on doing so, since that would allow any +N/+N Auras to keep the creatures they are attached to alive through SBAs before the cleanup step. Gotcha. So it's either do the new keyword, or confuse a TON of players who might be even worse at the rules than me. I think for now I'll err on the side of "I don't trust myself and the set likes Lore better anyway" and stash AuraDash for a rainy day. Maybe if I ever do an Enchantment set; something like Theros but obviously not a return to such.
>>46892904
I really, really like this idea for dash on an aura. This version of it might be overpowered but tweak the mana on it...
>>46893592
Transmute lets you do what I am doing already, mine's just narrower, and it's only on death instead of at your leisure so I made it cheaper. I dunno if it's any more busted than Squadron Hawks, which was why I mentioned it initially. If it let you tutor for anything I might be inclined to agree with you more.
Since everyone's been talking about Transmute.
>>46893634
Well, lord knows auras have never been OP before, so there might be room for this and I'm just being pessimistic.
I think MaRo might say that it decreases variance too much, though? At least if it's a keyword/theme of a set. Magic is great because every game is partially different beause Of the draw, they don't print a ton of tutors because that's a critical part of the game, even if the tutoring effect itself isn't broken.
I like the effect as a one-off, or a cycle, but as a keyword I'm somewhat skeptical.
>>46893570
I like the black Rigger only "copycatting" other Contraption assemblage; conveys black's "envy" trait pretty well. Same with Espionage, though it doesn't reward you at all for being ahead so that could feel a bit bad at times. Dismantle... I dunno how I feel about it. It could play well in the right set, but it'd be very dependent on the set environment.
>>46893700
On second thought, I guess the most similar mechanic would be rebels, which I think was generally considered successful (or anyway, successful enough to bring back in time spiral). I can't remember any of the designers faulting the mechanic for reducing variance in gameplay, anyway.
>>46893700
I also understand that they don't want a lot of tutoring because it leads to a lot of shuffling, which can delay the game. You did mention cycles, and I think you're on to something, so most likely what will happen is each color getting a common Aura that does it, then each multicolor pair getting one at uncommon most likely, to keep it as something you can draft around but prevent it from being a full-on archetype. I mostly just want to make Auras not feel so crummy all the time. The only other way is to push the hell out of them but all that does is demand removal and lead to other crap. I guess we'll see how it goes.
>>46893666
Making a card that gives any card in your hand Transmute is pretty decent, but it also becomes a 2 for 1, so I almost wonder if it should cantrip? I dunno.
I still need to decide on the final art for this card.
>>46893732
Let me just point out that in - what was the set, Mercadian Masques? - there was a Mercenary vs. Rebel theme, and the two had similar, but different, mechanics. And Maro said that the theme failed because, between the two, the Rebel mechanic was objectively better than the Mercenary mechanic.
>>46893781
Well, you don't have to discard a card, you could use mana.
>>46893833
This feels like a less useful Library of Leng.
>>46893833
I meant cantrip if you discarded. Derp. But still, getting a cheap tutor, even if it costs 2 cards, might very well be worth it.
Of course, this card now makes that idea meh, so...
I know this is a pipe dream, but just fired off this ask to maro on tumblr.
" Have you guys considered harnessing the talent of the amateur magic card design community? I know you can't look at them because of legal issues, but trust me, some of it is quite good.
Not to go all business major on you, but user created content, from twitch to youtube, is here to stay. What I'm thinking is an apprentice-like program that is a little more permissive than mtgo, requiring the user to resolve most of the effects. People could upload entire sets at their leisure, and you could either pay a set fee to unlock all the cards and a limited format, or else even buy individual card packs, with some of the money going to the creators, some of it going to wizards, as in the Twitch model.
I know you're not on the business side, but whaddya think? "
>>46893858
Less useful? You think paying 1 mana is more of a disadvantage than practically skipping your next draw?
>>46893916
Well, keep an eye out for the response. Maro answers so many questions a day and never tags a single damn response that it's hard to find out if he ever answered a question you give him. And honestly, no, I doubt they'd ever do that. I believe they did do something like this before, it was called a Designer Search, or something like that, but I don't think they'd ever do it again. Also, with the amount of issues most custom cards have, I doubt they'd ever take us seriously.
>>46893916
Man he'll probably be very nice but I can about assure you he's rolling his eyes at this. No offense anon, but I don't think they think very highly of us, if they even do consider us at all, because a cursory google image search of custom MtG cards is a horror show, to say the least, so I can't see anyone actually involved with it thinking it could get any better.
>>46894023
>because a cursory google image search of custom MtG cards is a horror show, to say the least
There's an entire Tumblr made for showcasing bad MTGCardsmith creations.

>captain planet
COanon GET ON THIS
>>46894265
UGH, I SHOULD BE IN BED
Well, you could easily split up the characters into Black and non-Black, with Black of course representing the guys who want to pollute the Earth. Though I guess Captain Planet could be five-color, but that is kinda awkward.
But looking at the kidnapped children - I'm sorry, Planeteers - we get
>Kwame: Earth - Green or Red
>Wheeler: Fire - Red
>Linka: Wind - Blue or Green
>Gi: Water - Blue
>Ma-Ti: Heart - White?
Though I have to say, I don't really give much of a fuck about the show anyway. I guess it could be interesting. I'll have to see how I feel about it later.Alternate Planeteer colors:
>Kwame: Earth - Black for being a negro
>Wheeler: Fire - White for being a memeber of the master race
>Linka: Wind - Red for being a commie
>Gi: Water - Multicolor for being yellow
>Ma-Ti: Heart - Colorless for being brown
Oh, and Captain Planet would be all the colors for looking like a fag.
What the fuck is wrong with me?
>>46894554
Clever use of Champion. I'd consider making him cost 0 sense you are esnetially sacing 5 different colors of creatures for a 5/5 flier with pro-noncreatures.
>>46894057
You should add the reminder text for it stil being tapable for U. Other then that, I like the concept but it feels like just a wonky or worse pain land. Sure, it could fix your colors a lot but you'll bleed a lot for it.
>>46893833
I'd make the "keep discarded card" cost a hybrid U/B mana. It turns magnetic insight into draw 2 for 2.
>>46894695
My thoughts were that it might be interesting to generate as much black as you need, on the turn you find the land, but it comes tapped in exchange,
Pic related is something i've been trying to get the feel right on, so any ideas/criticisms are welcome and probably fairthe other picture had old ideas/versions on it, had pasted the wrong ones
>>46894939
Something that requires that much investment should be basically an instawin. Give it some form of evasion - flying or trample. It shouldn't be able to be chump blocked into infinity by 1/1s

I was hoping that being a cycle like that might allow for it, but i did try and make the U and G versions less reliant on other creatures of yours having first strike to work. Maybe it still isn't where it should be though.
>>46895298
>>Red knight gets all his buddies killed in a mutually assured destruction scenario
Correct me if i'm wrong, but if both red and white were out, creatures with first strike would be protected from individual pings, since the attacking player would have priority since its their turn?
Why is alliteration so pleasing to my brain
>>46895389
Triggered abilities go in APNAP order, so opponent's abilities resolve first.
>>46895466
I don't think white needs anymore removal options and this is too similar to black's 'target creature deals damage to itself equal to its power.'
>>46895466
This could cost 2W so its not just a worse Murder.
Auras with cast triggers, yea or nay?
>>46895349
My advice is to cheat. The green one uses the allowable green lopsided fight (like Polukranos) to set up pseudofirststrike, and maybe the blue one avoids getting blocked entirely?
Blue's the puzzle there.

+2: Tap target land. Add one mana of any mana it could produce to your mana pool.
-3: Look at the top three cards of your library. You may reveal a land card among them. If you do, put it onto the battlefield tapped. Put another into your hand, and the rest info your graveyard.
-9: You get an emblem with "Lands you control are 2/2 Snake creatures." and "Snakes you control have Indestructible and 'T: Add one mana of any color to your mana pool.'"

>>46895762
>>46895466
make it "destroy all creatures with power greater than their toughness"
it's still a really specific card tho
>>46895765
I'll have to think of a way to implement the one sided fight without getting too wordy and without it being super first strike for real.
The best idea i can think of for blue at this second would involve p/t flipping on itself/defenders if you want, but again, have to think to avoid textmash.
>>46895914
Just alter the wording and don't use fight, like Polu does.

Oh? You think so? I was basing it on Rockslide Elemental (Which is self only)
>>46896453
I really like the scalability, though my autism wants it to be 1/3/5 or 2/4/6 islands instead. I think there may be some ambiguity with the last ability whether the group draws you a single card or if each creature draws you a card.
>>46896484
Yeah, but yours doesn't have first strike, and adding a colour roughly translates as a 40-70% of a colorless mana, on top of the +1 on the CMC. Basically, adding 'colour weight' gives you more leeway on what you can do. If you're paying four mana for a 2/2, it better be worth it. As is, it's too slow for it to be good.
>>46896714
Right. You think it would work better at 3CMC then?
The original one that I was very unsure about had Trample but I felt that it made it way too 'Yeah, just buff himself' rather than making it much of a choice.
Yay, high res now, thanks for the help in getting the templates for that. Getting close to printing out the cube, thought now would be a good time to transfer everything over to high res.
The gray numbered generic mana symbols seem to have really poor contrast with the backgrounds, like worse than the standard MTG template. Especially on artifacts. But otherwise the new templates look great.
>>46897216
I brightened the background template image. Seems to be working a bit better.
>>46897216
MSE has a shit-tier image compressor built in. If you want the art and not just the template to look nice, you'll need to photoshop the art in manually.
This set is supposed to be for limited play. What do you think of these cards? Hypothetically, as they are worded now, you could just go grab a wad of seven basic lands. Or if you were swamped with land you could grab some stuff from your pool. Mill isn't a thing in this set so the whole slowing down a mill deck doesn't really apply with these cards. Is seven the right number? Should it be four to five? Five or more? Something like that?
>>46897292
I was almost satisfied with the terrible older version. The new high-res version, while still sub-optimal is more than good enough for me. Just look at the improvement here. The artifacting, while just as bad pixel for pixel, is less noticeable on the larger card as it simply has more pixels of the original image (I had all of the card arts re-sampled when I switched over).
>>46897283
Hah, didn't even notice until now, there was a dropdown menu in the style section that lets you make the artifacts lighter.

>>46897328
Neat "colorified" version of parallel thoughts. Not sure about the colorless part of cards, but sure.
>>46896453
If you want the last part to trigger for every creature independently, I'd rephrase it to
>Whenever a creature you control would deal damage to a player this turn, draw a card if you control five or more Islands.
If you want it to trigger just once, regardless of how many creatures hit face
>If a player is dealt damage by creatures you control this turn, you may draw a card.
This has weird timing wording though. I'd look up a card that already does it but I don't know one by heart.
>>46896348
Solido
>>46896341
I have no clue. My heart says fine, but at the same time I want to say "overcosted/underpowered"
>>46896323
Might bump it up to rare
>>46895808
Feels a bit strong, though I like that you can randomly through it in any deck because of the colorless.
>>46894554
I agree with earlier anon's make him cost 0, but I'd also add a bit where it says "<this> is every color"
>>46893666
I -think- that "discard" a card with converted mana cost X or pay (x)" is wrong, or at least feels wrong. I'd reverse the order so it feels like X is "declared" if you discard the card.
>>46898605
Going by Kozilek, the Great Distortion and Knollspine Invocation, it looks like an X cost can be determined by a card's CMC.
Thoughts?
>>46899539
Phyrexian mana costing seems fairly pointless as I'd never want to cast it for health when it has so much more value for casting it with mana. Also the first line is missing a period at the end. Also this is too good for a common.
>>46892260
Was the intention to still allow me to kill your creature in response to this entering the stack, making it fizzle, and thus not allowing you to get the boon?
Is this on color and common worthy fixing?
>>46901310
I'm not sure if they aren't color pie breaks/bends or not, but, well... They actually look pretty good to me.
>>46900904
Sure? I mean how strong do you want it to be? I got people telling me it needs a cost on it as-is (which i am still not convinced is true since auras are so bad in general). I could change it to "graveyard from anywhere" for massive synergy with the spellshapers in the set but then it'd need a cost for sure, i think.
So - if I'm making a set: How many cards should I have? How many of each type? I ask because I have a tendency to make lots and lots of creatures, but really lackluster instants and sorceries. My enchantments and artifacts are usually ok, but I feel like I don't have enough noncreature cards in general. So what's a good rule of thumb to keep in mind as far as amounts?
>>46902441
Even in blue, you're gonna have 50% creatures or more. Off the top of my head blue and black get like 55% creatures or so and green and white more like 65%. I don't have my numbers in front of me but from there blue gets the most instants, black gets sorceries, etc. I used origins and rtr to get my numbers if i recall.
This is more an example than an actual card. I can see why Wizards went the direction they did, though.
>>46892977
This could be somewhat interesting in a Time Spiral-esque set as a throwback, but Soulshift is a really awful mechanic, as is Arcane.

I like Scavenge's wording more. Though I've always had a thing for scaling effects (I know it doesn't scale much for Scavenge, but still).
>>46902693
>>46902441
Khans of tarkir block: 51.4% creatures (across all colors)
Battle for Zendikar: 53.5%
Theros: 57.3%
RTR: 49.2%
Innistraad: 52.5%
SoM: 52.2%
I'm not doing shadows because transformations fuck it up. Also there are a lot of spells which basically act like creatures (token producers, living weapon) which were not taken into account.
>>46901310
Corbaz pickpocket seems a bit weak in comparison to sylvan sentinel, ancient rites feels somewhat pointless (fixing once you've already gotten red and green seems iffy),
Blood money feels pretty bad considering how unplayable culling the weak was, the marginal advantage on mana has gotten greater (and it can be effectively used in resp to removal) but it still feels iffy.

Because parasitism, yo. They don't really function well outside of the block they were published in.
Once again work is taking me from my true passion, but here are some cards showing legendary land ideas, new assemble wording, new unstable wording (featuring a card inspired by anon's Ramshackled Behemoth) And more Espionage, which I'm starting to like more as I go along.

In case you haven't noticed, I really don't know what to do with white. Also, have another fortification because I forgot to add it, and I think I'm gonna just make it cross-color. (Maybe white will have more of them).
>>46904071
>Because parasitism, yo. They don't really function well outside of the block they were published in.
This response makes actively little sense and you know it, the same could be said of all tribes before they're given major support. Nobody complains about the parasitism of mirrodin because they were retroactively made non-parasitic. If you want to make the case that kamigawa's tribes were poor for some other reason than that'd be interesting, but saying they were parasitic is basically saying 'you shouldn't make more of this tribe because there aren't enough cards of this tribe'; it makes some sense, but it is still blatantly self defeating.

>>46904641
The 'artifacts matter' and more specifically, the 'artifact creatures' matter themes in mirrodin were incredibly parasitic at the time, think of how many artifact creatures were playable before mirrodin... Affinity wasn't just terrible because it was extremely dominant in extended and other formats, even in extended it was little more than a block constructed deck, it took nothing from other blocks. Because affinity became dominant in multiple metagames and still present in the memories of players wizards has continuously printed more support for it retroactively making it not parasitic when it had every right to be.
>>46904865
Meant to reply to >>46904615
>>46904865
>The 'artifacts matter'
I couldn't get past this. Yeah, I think you're talking shit. If this is what you think parasitism is, well, you're retarded.
>>46904865
Can you give an example of "artifacts matter" cards that were printed later for the purpose of making mirrodin less parasitic?
>>46904641
Don't have the artist name or source
>>46904909
>If this is what you think parasitism is, well, you're retarded.
Did the definition change on me again? I thought it meant that you couldn't play with other cards from earlier in your collection which is exactly what mirrodin's cards did.
>>46904977
Scars of mirrodin's own artifact theme was incentivised by the persistence of mirrodin's cards, as was the esper shard in alara block (the only reason to make colored artifacts in the first place is so that they can work with the artifact tribe). The devoid tribal isn't exactly the same as it stretches the tribe in the opposite direction but it still effectively extended the cardpool for affinity decks. The thopter tribe of magic origins, steel overseer, hangarback walker and baleful strix.
I find incredibly hard to believe that interacting with artifact tribal wasn't a huge part of most of their designs.
I don't think that they were printed for the purpose of making mirrodin cards less parasitic, it was more like 'people with artifact decks will like/want this card' but the end result is the same; previously arcbound ravager worked well with basically 0 cards outside of mirrodin block and now he's completely surrounded by them.
>>46899539
"When ~ enters the battlefield, if {B} was spent to cast it....

>>46905567
Hey anon, look what I found! *gasp* Wait a minute! This synergizes with artifacts, but it was made before Mirrodin! And Mirrodin, as we all know, is the first block that ever introduced cards that synergize with artifacts, even though it was incredibly parasitic when it first came out. Do you know what this means? It means that Wizards must've travelled back in time to plant this card, as well as many others, in earlier sets all in order for the Mirrodin block to be less parasitic when they actually introduce artifact synergy! My god anon, you're so smart, where would we be without you?
>>46905949
>tolarian academy negates a general pattern
Nice meme! By the way you forgot mishra's workshop, clearly affinity had so much support throughout all of magic's history, people playing standard and extended just forgot about all of those great artifact cards, you know, I heard they didn't have as good deck building tools back then, certainly they couldn't hold a candle to a master such as yourself.
>>46904746
Before I forget, I wanted to tell you that a variant of Ancestry similar to Haunt might be worth thinking about, as you wouldn't have to include a clause about exiling instead of leaving the battlefield, and tge cards wouldn't need to have the enchantment type.

>Mirrodin is parasitic because it was broken.
>>46897891
Yon is great design. It might need the "or tied with..." clause.

The Dragonborn Empire died many years ago and is now reduced to a city-state near the mountains in the north. They are in cold war with the Tiefling city-state in the south, who they hold responsible for the death of both their empires.
>Tiefling Empire
The Tiefling Empire died many years ago and is now reduced to a city-state near the forest in the south. They are in cold war with the Dragonborn city-state in the north, who they hold responsible for the death of both their empires.

Just make cards and don't worry about all factions being equally distributed or represented. Using location or faction titles in names can help group cards together.
>>46923077
>Apparatus (Read but don't ask)
A city coming from another world because of an accident, using cyberpunk technology. It is a isolationist military dictorship. Thanks to the treaty of non-aggression between them and the Tower of the Magus, they can do whatever they want in their region as long as they stay there.
>Free People
Any person that doesn't like the rules of their state can live in exile in the Free Lands, that constitute most of the continent, under the protection of the Tower of Magus. The free people gather in nomadic or sedentary communities, where you can find pretty much any races.
That's it for the main factions.
Here are the "minor" :
>Stronghold of the Fighter
A elit unit mostly independent of the Tower of the Magus, consisting of the best mercenaries of the continent, called in case of continent-scale threats.
>Jusankishi
A gathering of renegades mages that want to bring down the Tower of the Magus for their ideals of freedom. They are prone to inside fight because of their differents ideals.
>The Lost Aspects (The BBEG of my campaign)
An entity divided in 9 bodies and personalities, most of which wants to destroy/conquer/hurt the world. They were sealed away by the founders of the Tower but the sealed was unstable (completely destroyed by my PC)
>>46923176
The cards I made concern directly what happened int the campaign so most of the factions are not/will not be used

Green does it, but it can stop :P
Good ol' rootwalla ;_;
>Supes
Oh it's what we were talking about before. He has too much power, and on top of that is really simple minded :P
>>46915516
I meant the art. >:
>>46916093
Name is terrible, like the card though. I'd make it so that it has two abilities, both which cost BG, Sac. And one does
>each player sacs a permanent with cmc=>to the sac'd one
>return a permanent with with cmc<= to the sac'd one
>>46916218
Hilariously broken. Would play. Make him cost 1RR and;
>You may sacrifice an artifact rather than pay an activation cost for activated abilities of artifacts you control.
>>46916503
>>46916561
Hard to keep track of, and not very good.
>>46916509
Not bad,would probably see play.
>>46918037
This is pretty good. Something about the wording I don't like, but it works.
>>46919312
Agree with >>46919373
Fun card :3 Nice interaction.
>>46921784
What's a Zeta-Beam? I like how explosive it can get.
>>46921943
If you can't write it on the card, don't do it.
>>46923288
2/3 and cost it one less. Too high a cost for a too too situational card.
>>46923301
Countershoal
>notashoal
It's an ok card. Pirate anon has just that card in his set.
>>46923353
Why not just put a +1/+1 counter? It's not an overpowered mechanic.
>>46924590
>Oh it's what we were talking about before. He has too much power, and on top of that is really simple minded :P
Well, that's always been a problem with the character. Though it's not like he's a Mary Sue or anything. And I've personally read quite a few stories about him that were pretty interesting. From what I saw, most of the draw came from the fact that, despite Superman's incredible powers, he couldn't save everyone all the time.
>I meant the art. >:
...So did I?
>Zeta-Beam
It's part of an older sci-fi comic. The story was this guy on Earth would get hit by these zeta-beams, which would transport him to another planet, though he'd get transported back via the same beams. But they were pretty unpredictable too.
Today's dump. Featuring Fortifications, multi color, and just general stuff I like. I'm off to work.
>>46924839
What do you see in fortifications?
>>46928292
At least some of these fortifications make sense since they change the land into a creature. Fortifications are really no better than an enchantment most of the time, but if land destruction in rampant in the format or the fortification animates the land, then fortifications are relevant since they can be moved to another land after the fortified land dies.
>>46928292
An interesting way of incorporating equip mechanics in a way that also makes land play - which I've always loved - more viable. Why?
>>46921943
Ohh, make it a planeswalker that transforms into an emblem :D
>>46928812
While you could do the same with recurring Auras, I do like the idea of Forts animating lands. Seems more elegant that constant re-casting.
>>46928853
More viable? How? You can use more than one Fort on the same land.
Now that I think of it, would a Fort ever fall off it the land stopped being a land? Is the same true for Equips and creatures?
>>46929532
Equipments and Fortifications do indeed fall off if the permanent they're attached to loses the appropriate types.
>>46930070
The transformation reminds me so much of Netrunner.
>>46929803
>>46930412
Schisshift is a Blue/Black card. Otherwise, those are all good, if a little tame.
