>>48118374
Cute. It's always more fun when a card is not only funny but actually works within conventional design philosophies.

>>48118535
Actually it should be
>At any time, you may exile this facedown card. When you do, cast it for its unveil cost or put it into your graveyard.
Also I'm salty.

>>48118570
I recall your Rune thing. Post one of your cards so I can compare it to Unveil; I want to see how similar it is. Could be some very minor difference is what's making people prefer one over the other.

>>48118752
"If an opponent" rather than "whenever"
"Spells you cast can't be countered by spells or abilities."
>Zedruu intensifies

>>48118781
The final draft of it was literally
>You may cast this card face down as a 2/2 creature for 3. At any time, you may exile this facedown card. When you do, cast it for its rune cost or put it into your graveyard.
I deleted all of them, so do what you want with it I guess.

>>48118752
baaaaaad thematically

should be

>@ can't be countered.
>Spells cant be countered.
>Players can't gain control of spells, or permanents they don't own.

Freedom =/= people losing control of their stuff. Even other people

Spells YOU CONTROL can't be countered by spells or abilities.

>>48118860
I am not the Unveil guy, I just wanted to compare them. I dunno what to tell you; they seem pretty much the same. It would be kinda odd if for some reason their cards were well received while yours were not. I wish I could tell you why. /ccg/ is fickle I guess. As a setmaker I know that's the truth more often than is easily explained besides 'lol4chan'.

It seems quite easy to make work/fix, but there's basically no use making a proper response as it is most likely a troll.

>>48118884
I'd replace Pit Fight. A r/g card looks off for themed WRU themed decks.

>Lands
Border Outpost and Rebel Base don't need the "you control" bits, unless you are deathly afraid of Reroute.

Token making on Dragon Den and Mustering Ground is too cheap. Compare Vitu-Ghazi, the City-Tree and other 1/1 token makers.

>Equipment
Equip costs go below the rest of the text. A lot of these are also too powerful. 0 for first strike is huge because you can use it on both attack and defense without tempo loss. The tribal boosts are too large, making the equipment terrible without the tribe but too good in themed decks.

>Dragonhunter Bow

>Whenever equipped creature blocks or becomes blocked by one or more Dragons, it gains deathtouch until end of turn.
Oh, and the Equip costs goes on the bottom.

Wait, WHAT?! You put the equip costs for all of them on the top?! Seriously, man? C'mon, you can do better than that.

>Infantryman's Spear
>[...] +1/+1 and has first strike.

>Phalanx Shielf
I can't even tell what this is supposed to do. Here's my best guess
>[...] it gets +1/+1 until end of turn for each creature it's blocking.

>Furious Resistance
You should probably make reprints somehow so people don't start arguing about them or something.

>Inner Bravery

>Rebel Sandswimmer
Self-bounce isn't very Red.

>Scarred Deserter
Wait, hold on. You have all these cards that talk about Cowards, but this isn't one? "Oh no, the fuzz! Better hide!" Total coward. Especially in Red. Red are like Krogans, they have twice as much balls as everyone else.

>Siege Ox
This is kinda interesting. Nice job. Though I'm not sure on the mana cost.

>Sow Dissent
Not sure how I feel about these counters. Is this a recurring thing? Regardless, it feels awkward on a common.

>Starving Lion
What the fuck? Did I miss something? Why is this a 3/3 with an upside for 2 in Red of all colors?

Isn't this a Civil War Confederacy thing? Also, kinda weird that Blue cares about Rebels.

Claw of Lion I think the legendary check would be worded: "As long as it's(/.equipped creature is) legendary, it has double strike and vigilance." Wording taken from Champion's Helm and Godo's Maul.

Static surge wording should be "to each equipped creature"

Lycean General needs a terminating clause for the bonuses.

>>48119137
Lycean General needs a duration on his buff.
Static Surge should be each equipped creature.
Claw of the Lion doesn't need a capital on legendary or the 'as well'.

>>48119283
Anything I don't respond to here is changed.
>Phalanx Shield
It's supposed to reward double blocking. "Whenever this creature blocks, it gains +1/+1 for each other creature blocking that creature" is suppsoed to mean "For each creature you block with beyond the first, equipped creature gets +1/+1" or something along those lines.
>Starving Lion
Starving Lion was initally supposed to be this, but I couldn't figure out whether that was a good design or not, so I left it woefully incomplete.
>Desert Stormcaller
Maybe it looks interesting because it isn't mine. Functional reprint of Sotrmcaller of Keranos, flavored to fit the setting.
>Rebel Yell
Was initially red, shifted into blue because of the card draw, I'm already leaning on tribal pretty hard in this thing so I figured it'd be fine as is.
>>48119415

Well, given your determination to use only evergreen keywords... Menace is a given, and maybe some kind of temporary Equip feature that tutors an Equipment for a turn to represent his cloak/suit becoming any weapon he can imagine that's not mechanical? Tutor the equipment, attach it, then sac it at EOT? I was gonna suggest Hellbent too but eh, not evergreen. BR obviously.
>Felicia
2/2 UR rogue with Hexproof and "Whenever an opponent would flip a coin, that player loses the flip instead" and "You have protection from spells and abilities with the word 'random' in them".

>Phalanx Shield
You need to have it grant the equipped creature the ability to block extra creatures, or the ability will be flat-out useless. Also, when creature A blocks creatures B and C, B and C are said to be "blocked by" creature A. My confusion was over "blocking" since that implies that creature A was attacking. Look up the wording to Rampage and repurpose it.
>Staving Lion
The ability you're looking for is
>Whenever a creature dealt combat damage by ~ this turn dies, remove a -1/-1 counter from ~.

>Desert Stormcaller
Ah. I was reminded of Keranos. Um... look, don't get discouraged. You have to remember that the guys at Wizards have done this for years and do it for a living. We're just fans dicking around for fun.

>Rebel Yell
Eh, roll with it for now and see how people react to it and how it plays in the archetype.

>>48119540
>Spawn
Oh man, this sounds like the problem I'm going to have with Green Lanterns. Hmm, well, I can try to incorporate Equipment matters, since even without the suit, he loves using modern weapons. Or at least the version in the movie did. Not much of a fan of the comics. Tried to get into them twice (Jim Downing and God is a dog), got burned both times. Probably Menace, yeah, maybe Regen. Trample? I'll have to see how it goes. As for Hellbent, I have no issue mimicking nonevergreen stuff. Oracle here basically gives your cards Transmute UB.

>Felicia
This is part of why I've been holding off on her. There's the cat thing, the thief thing, and the luck thing. I'll try doing something with flips, but I'm not too keen on your ideas, sorry. Really, they seem like something more fitting for Domino.

>>48119602
Oh wow, do you mind if I borrow this concept? It would fit wonderfully in one of my sets.

>>48119626

>>48119439
I also wanted to point out something I'm actually a little split on with Dalus.

Obviously choosing to Manifest at the beginning of combat means he has a better chance of being impactful the turn he enters the board, but it also means you have to make some possibly tough choices about what to spend your mana on pre-combat, since you won't know what you're Manifesting.

Letting it go off at your upkeep means you know what you're getting and can decide how to spend your mana more readily, but of course it leaves him vulnerable a full turn without benefiting you.

There's a tradeoff either way, and I'm uncertain which plays better.

>>48119616
Domino's power isn't as strong as Felicia's though, if I recall. It seems to be she'd be better off lampooning her luck with Regenerate or something.

Glad some Spawn ideas clicked though. I mean I don't really like him as a character that much, but I saw a pic of him while scrounging for art and I thought to ask. I asked about Black Cat because her I do like. Well, before she became a shit-tastic villain.

>>48119610
I think it can be "Whenever ~ is dealt damage," but you're right. "takes damage" isn't proper wording.

>>48119639
Thanks. Altering it slightly and putting it at rare for Limited considerations, but it's a great idea. Appreciate it!

>>48119684

>I mean I don't really like him as a character that much
Oh no. OH NO. Spawn is basically the epitome of shitty 90's comic characters. And it's pretty clear the writers have no idea what to do with the character. It's honestly something I'd really like to see redone in the hands of a better writer (like Prophet and Bloodstrike) because what I remember of the movie actually was actually pretty decent. Goddamn, part of me wonders how the hell Image has stayed in business for so long. Especially when I was going through Cyberforce and Hunter-Killer. They're both 90's super teams, the former being literally just cyborg X-Men, the latter getting their powers from tattoos. Which isn't necessarily a bad thing, I liked the newest Tattooed Man. But a whole team of them?

>shit-tastic villain.
SLOOOOT! Yeah. Though I'm not sure on the power levels of Domino or Black Cat, and let's face it, serious talk of power levels is a joke, I'm really going for "Adaptation Distillation" here, just taking the best aspects of everything and combining them. Plays hell with continuity, but Magic does that already.

But yeah, I'll see what I can do. Might not have anything by tonight though.

>>48119439
Vairn could be a combo piece with Ornithopter or Memnite, but then again we have things like Melira and and any Persist creature, or Saffi and Sun Titan, and he's a lot harder to cast.

How much time would you say you usually spend looking for the perfect art for a card?

>>48119976
For my /co/ cards, it's really easy for obvious reasons. Even the harder ones probably don't take me more than half an hour.

>>48119976
Couple hours at most.

>>48119919
Bow of Nylea is the only really comparable card, but is a legendary 1GG enchantment artifact which offers deathtouch to all your attackers (among other things).
This piece of equipment, while limited in its own regard, is full colorless and an equip cost of 1 lets any creature not only block, but kill just about anything.

>>48120019
That's your average? Fuck, I forgot how hard it is to find art for things that aren't just adaptations of something. Probably explains why so many of my truly original cards are still lacking art.

>>48120027
Felhide petrifier and death baron are three mana tribal deathtouch providers. The equip cost is low I'll give you that.

>>48119976
None, if you start with the perfect art.

>>48120049
That's for perfect art, I usually settle long before that. I also don't look for a single art piece at a time.

>>48120050
They are also creatures, which are typically also easier to remove. Really 4 or some color tilt would probably make it fine; the biggest thing is deathtouch + reach for 1 equip cost.

Next question.

From a vaguely remembered plot synopsis read years ago...

Al Simmons, Hellspawn 2BB
Legendary Creature- Demon
Deathtouch
Whenever another creature dies, exile it instead. Then, if ten or more creatures have been exiled this way, exile ~ and return all creatures exiled with ~ to the battlefield. Transform ~.
3/4
//
Spawn of the New World
(b/r) Legendary Creature- Demon
Flying, Protection from Angels and Demons
Other creatures you control get +1/+1 and have Protection from Angels and Demons.
7/7

Now that I think about it, a spark creature would be moderately interesting. Does a dfc 'remember' stuff its other side did? For example, could I have a spawnwalker reanimate cards the previous side exiled?

>>48120145
I use whatever's for my current set, and used to use a general one for all my one-offs, but stopped because unless you're doing a set or something, your identity is not important in my opinion, since all your one-offs are being judged in a a vacuum anyway. If we ever decided as a thread to always "tag" ourselves with set symbols I'd probably participate because it was the Will of the council, but until that happens, set symbols for sets only.

>>48120241
This reads really awkwardly. "Put target creature with power less than or equal to ~'s power on top of it's owner's library." isn't it?

>>48120298
That's a lot of symbols.

>>48120467
I don't think that final ability is worded correctly. "WU, Shuffle ~ into its owner's library: Put target exiled card on top of its owner's library. Activate this ability only if ~ is in exile, and only at any time you could cast a sorcery." I added the last bit because I think it'd need it. I'm not ever sure about any of this, or even if this card should exist.

>>48120298
Siril is really great. Bloodletting is a neat big black card, and it should clarify that players sac in order. Sorin is too much about tribal and should have one "regular" ability.

>DFC
It depends. Because a DFC is, at the end of the day, a single card, it will "remember" what was exiled with it on either side. Kinda like how one side "knows" that the other side has been on the battlefield long enough to attack without Haste. At least, I think that's how it would work.

At worst, it has a superfluous extra color. There's nothing pie-breaking about it.

Also, blue was the only color that didn't get any convoke cards.

Ah, well then. Yeah, I'd say get rid of the white then.

>>48120808
>shitty version of blue thing
How? It's not always guaranteed, but you can slap your opponent around with their own spells. Imagine just redirecting a Murder at an opponent's thing. That's you up a card net.

>>48120830
that and Redirect is more red than blue. But blue can do whatever it wants with spells and no one will bat an eye so whatever

>>48120830
Blue has one convoke card.

Convoke is available to all colors, but pretty heavily favors WG among existing cards.

>>48120853
Well, yeah, because Blue is the spell color.

>>48120850
It's a much more narrow version of "Counter target spell" it can be better in some cases but the fact that it's situational means that it's usually worse

>>48120864
That doesn't change the fact that it's a dumb line of thinking since EVERYTHING is a fucking spell

Good call on Bloodletting

The way Sorin's set up, he technically does have a normal ability. His +2 can still just act as a buff for creatures regardless. The thing about him as a Tribal card though is that he's not just support, he's an engine. He enables the tribal support. You can have Sorin by himself and no other vampires and eventually his other effects will start working.

>>48120858

so you're saying that the Flectomancer should have been mono-red, because redirecting is already available to red? multicolor cards are allowed to have unnecessary extra colors.

>>48120864

red hasn't gotten a redirect since Zendikar (Ricochet Trap) while blue has Mizzium Meddler and Spellskite. It's very much a blue mechanic as it's a red one.

>>48120933
No, I just said blue has a convoke card. I didn't offer anything about what the card should or shouldn't be.

So... basically a version of Biorhythm that also fucks over the boardstate? And it's even cheaper? I can't see this ending well. Like, at all. No really, this strikes me as a card that would get preemptively banned the day it was spoiled.

>>48120858
>>48120968
To be fair, that blue card doesn't itself have convoke - it gives your artifact spells convoke. If one wanted, you could argue that it's similar to blue ramp in that it only applies for artifacts rather than general use.

>>48120922
>>48120992
Oh wait, it's permanents? Oh, that's not so bad. Still worried about the power though.

>>48120933
Hmm. Well, to be fair, Blue also hasn't had spells that allow you to change the target to whatever. I wonder if Wizards is deliberately not printing that mechanic.

>>48120933
>>48120904
>>48120867
This actually gave me a great idea.

Guild's Mastery WUR
Instant
Choose target instant or sorcery targetting you or a permanent you control, then choose two--
-Exile that spell, and spells with that name cost 1 more to cast for as long as it remains exiled.
-You may change that spell's targets.
-Copy that spell. You may choose new targets for the copy.

>>48121046
This is kinda neat.

>>48120992
>>48121007
Yeah, it's the sort of card that probably won't stay around very long in EDH. Every so often, it's fun to make cards that break EDH, like Worldfire, even knowing they'll be banned before you even get enough mana to cast them.

>>48121046

>>48121393

Thanks, I wasn't really sure how to cost it as it does require a sacrifice, yet distributes counters at instant speed. I know it's strong, but not sure if it borders on breaking.

>>48121519
Could probably be 3GG or 4GG. There are 3 similar cards (creatures that animate multiple lands) to compare with it.
Also just to simplify the tokens, I would just change the search ability into a Treefolk lord ability.

>>48121977
>tokens
What tokens?
>make it a lord ability
+1/+1 for other Treefolk is boring; I'd rather keep what it already does and balance cost accordingly. I'll make it 5G for now though.

-8: Return to the battlefield all creature cards exiled with ~. They gain haste. Exile ~ and return it to the battlefield transformed.

>>48122037
I meant the Treefolk lands. Instead of granting the ability to the animated lands, just host the ability on him instead. "Whenever a Treefolk creature you control deals combat damage to a player..."

>>48122054
Eh, I guess. It actually makes the ability better since it will hit other Treefolk too, which I wasn't sure I wanted for power concerns. But I'll keep it in mind. I'm sure I'll get a few more comments about it; it's a really strong card, I'll admit. If other people feel the same way I'll do so; there's something to be said for player expectations too.

>>48118959
The front side is too strong. A 4 mana 2/4 that puts two (untapped!) forests onto the battlefield is way too good. It should probably grab one basic forest and put it into play tapped. You could maybe get a second forest to hand if you lowered the creature's stats.

I might be wrong here, but isn't equipment a solidly W/R archetype? Double strike definitely is.

>>48126703
Mono-Red deals with Equipment as well. The archetype I have to admit is RW though. It feels kinda weird to make the character without Black, and I wanted to give it Regen. I normally stay away from tri-color, but it might be for the best. What do you think?

>>48126746
I would agree that his current design fits WBR more than BR. I don't want to push you in any direction, but if you want him to stay where he is color-wise, definitely consider changing the card somewhat.

And no, you're not forcing me into anything, I had the feeling that it might have to be BRW as it is now, I just wanted confirmation. If I'm not happy with what I get, I'll change it. I'll probably bring it up a while later to see what others think. This isn't exactly our prime time on /ccg/. Here's a similar one I did for comparison. I bet Doomguy and Spawn would get along OK.

>I'd be glad to get feedback and advice
It's a value thing. When I see your cards, I see cards which aren't for any sort of competitive play, that bothers me. I know that that seems just like grognardness, and some of it is, but there's more to it.
I've played non-competitively in magic and a variety of games. I hate it, and have mild contempt for people who put me through it.
When I play it is mostly for the sake of learning/thinking, some of it can comes from a desire to prove myself better than another, but I'm fine getting my ass handed to me so that can't be the driving force.
When I've played non-competitively I'm generally considered a try-hard if I think too much, despite the fact that the enjoyment I get from playing a game is in the trying. I can respect the use of try-hard as an insult if you think that more relaxed play is a test of skill (both people need to be giving it most of their all for it to count as that) or by sacrificing fun for a better chance at victory (I generally allow takebacks when it's clear someone fucked up because they didn't fully understand the rules). The social gaming use of the term tryhard is distinct from either of those, it is an actual attack on how engaged I am in the game; the game they want to play isn't designed for engagement and they find my actual focus on the game distracting from their desire to not focus on it. Thus, I've learned to not play non-competitively. Social gamersin my experience have also been outwardly nice and then treat any breach of their rules like you acted in defiance of morality itself.
I don't even think that the members of such social play gain anything besides 'connections' either, it's like they just do an activity that requires input from all members so that they can strengthen the social group without actually being useful to each other.
Maybe you're not like that though. In any case if you aren't designing your cards for competitive play then my opinions can't matter.

>>48128150
>invoke
Less abuseable/interesting version of evoke? Fine, but meh.
>overcharge
Specific version of replicate/kicker? Also OK, I find it slightly more interesting, but that might just be because I don't play much limited.
>splice onto instant or sorcery
Fine, the test is OP though, you need to add 1 to each mana cost likely.
>radiate
I dislike these linear synergy mechanics, but I seem to be the only one, instant speed draw spells are dangerously uninteractive for control decks, and brainstorm sucks without heavy shuffle effects.
>emanate
At risk of repetitive gameplay, I'd suggest avoiding using it too much at common. Not sure why the cost reduction part even exists, it's the same card advantage/disadvantage either way.

>>48128164
Yeah, they're not meant to be competitive. Truth be told, I rarely actually play Magic, most of my involvement is from a Melvin and Vorthos perspective. I have a faint idea of what makes cards competitive, but that's it. Like, I can acknowledge that Vendilion is powerful, but I'd never know if I didn't hear about it from others. Same with Siege Rhino. Which is exactly why my few forays into deckbuilding have all been an absolute disaster. Anyone who's played me on Chimera can back that up, just ask Kazy. What I'm doing with the CO cards is to try and make accurate representations of things from conics, while also keeping them interesting. If I ever actually tried making something competitive, I'm sure some part of me would say it's either too good or doesn't do enough, thus resulting in an increased mana cost which would destroy any hope the card ever had of being competitive. Sorry to disappoint you, Spike anon. But if you want me to try my hand at a competitive card or you have a specific request, just let me know. Can't guarantee you'll like the end result, but I can try. Because part of the CO cards to is a design exercise. And my skills will never improve if I just do the same thing I always do, right?

Also, I'm surprised you didn't add something like

All the cards were merely samplesof mechanics, probably some/all of the actual cards were pretty bad.
>invoke
One of Maro's problems with Evoke was "is that new players just look at the mana cost, realize they can't pay it and stop reading the card" for a higher skill level player like yourself it won't be an issue but for newer players it could be an issue.
I do agree is less abuse able but it does make instant/sorcery creatures, which allows a higher asfan of instant/sorceries.
>overcharge
I was originally going to go with copied five times, however design space is narrower for that.

>splice
That example would probably be 2B for each cost and/or uncommon. I'm pretty sure NNWO would put glacial ray at uncommon.

>radiate
Ok and noted.

>>48128569

I wasn't expecting that nice of a reply honestly.
>What I'm doing with the CO cards is to try and make accurate representations of things from conics, while also keeping them interesting
Yeah, I can get that. Knowing that you're not making the cards to actually play with them so much as making them for the art actually makes me respect you a lot more.
>But if you want me to try my hand at a competitive card or you have a specific request, just let me know.
That is painfully sweet but if I've thought of some idea to make something I'm not sure why I wouldn't just make it myself. Noted for if I'm having trouble with something though.
>Because part of the CO cards to is a design exercise. And my skills will never improve if I just do the same thing I always do, right?
That's cool and all, but I feel like you need to keep (mostly) separate the CO designs and whatever competitive stuff you're going to design, because they need to be in separate environments, real or imagined.

Ah, well thank you. I do make cards other than the CO cards, but I do admit, I've done a lot more of the CO cards than anything else. I even tried my hand at a set a few times, but I never got that far into it before I just gave up. Having to make filler just made me want to shoot myself. Hmm, maybe I should take another crack at one.

OK, why not? This is one I started a while ago. It's basically a modern-day setting, but after a zombie apocalypse. Cliche as fuck, I know, but I thought it would be interesting to explore through Magic cards. So, you naturally have the human survivors versus the zombie hordes. I never really fleshed out the whole thing, but the survivors had a strong artifact subtheme, including equipment (pic related). A lot of the artifacts I made for them were one-time use. Survival horror, after all. Oh, and there were -1/-1 counters, since zombie bites are pretty bad. I even had this grandiose plan to make an entire block with three sets (yeah, started it back then), where each set followed more or less the same characters as they survived different disasters. Like, set 2 would be demon invasion, set 3 would be alien invasion. For example, there'd be this guy, Eli, who has a card in each set, as he goes from zombie-killer to demon-slayer to alien-hunter, and gains the relevant Protection abilities along the way.

Yeah, maybe I will try my hand at this again.

>>48129772
Haste seems really weird on a GW card. I mean, I get that it's in Green, but still. Also, why bother with the weird wording on the last ability? Just have it ask for 1GW.

>>48130211
I was actually wondering about that. I wasn't sure if 1GW was correct or not. White for haste and because he's a family guard dog / pet, I guess? So far White has had the most Planeswalker related cards (Call the GW, Deploy the GW) so I included that as well.

>>48130308
White doesn't get haste. Green very rarely gets haste.

Meh. I always thought the "rule" that Red couldn't have bears was weird.

>>48131888
Bell counters are mostly a downside, so you can lose the cast restriction and just put the counters as part of the effect. And unless you are being cautious about flash creatures, you can remove the timing restriction. I'd put a 1 mana cost on the second ability so there's some disincentive to clearing out your yard.

>>48132055
Well, Blue is now the only color without a bear. Maybe that'll be the vanilla mythic everyone's been asking for.

I put in the counters initially because I didn't really want the player to be casting the same creature over and over with no repercussion, but also didn't want the other player to be able to exile the creature before casting.

I only now realized that that part was solved when the counter is placed after casting.

Adding the 1 cost is a good idea.

Fair point. I think it would be both more flavorful and more cost-appropriate for it to be an exile effect. Do you agree?

I Imagine you mean the new Emrakul... Otherwise, there's a fatal flaw in that plan...

>>48137687
You might hit an Emrakul off the Traumatize if that's what you mean, but the Emrakul you're casting in this scenario is in your hand.

>>48137599
Could probably self-mill Tomb Raid lots of broken stuff, like an Omniscience or even just a gigantic Fireball, because Delve and X-spells are a match made in Sultai heaven. But the card disadvantage and having to grind your own library and graveyard away means it's pretty unreliable and risky, at that.

>>48137739

Lands are also permanents.

>>48138253
That's intentional, because it's a throwback to Rakdos the Defiler.

Although you could probably argue that "Sac half your non-Demon permanents" is less dangerous than "lose 1 life for each non-Demon, nonartifact permanent."

Sorry about the wall of cards, once again. Should I break them up into Commons, and U/R/M? Would two collages be easier to go through?

Anyway, green is all prototyped out finally. The set is a little over half "done" now. I guess it's more fair to say it's half prototyped, since I imagine there will be a lot of revision.

Once again, thanks for any and all feedback you have. As far as personal concerns, I'm still looking at Berstuk as being a little too pushed, and some suggestions were made about him upthread so we'll see where that goes. I'm not too sure where Musorgoyf stands; he's 2 more than Tarmo but lacks the +1 T and has trample. I feel like maybe he could be 2G, or I should put the +1 T in. Or maybe +1 P? I dunno. I'm having a tough time finding a good "spot" for Raging Medvyet. I know I want him to rampage, but I don't know how exactly. Been waffling back and forth between +2/+2 and +3/+3 per blocking creature, and also considered giving him full-on Bushido instead, which might be better and more intuitive too.

>>48134880
This one, TOO SYMETRICAL!

>>48138495
Lesovikha is neat.
Gadyuka Wurm is clearly a snake
Obsessive Attentiveness - magnify is marginal without flash.
Whispers is alright
Wanton Might is shamed by Titanic Growth
Engulfing Growth I'd rather see be like Sea's Claim.
Raging Medvedev - +2/+2 is enough. Any more and he simply won't get blocked.
Adaptation - the can't be countered seems tacked on for power rather than flavor. If you want to keep it, just give it both all the time.
Borovoi is neat ramp
Harsh Lessons I don't like. If it was an instant sure, but a permanent shouldn't undo your set mechanics so easily and blatantly. Plus it leads to unnecessary math.
Fecund Hymn - a decent magnify effect, but the base card is too expensive to make much use out of it.
Hallucinatory Vistas - like Hermit Druid, it's too easy to dump your whole library into your graveyard by not playing any basics. And it's harder to deal with.

I really like the Forests-matters theme. It feels natural, not forced. Magnify in comparison is unexciting and looks like it's just there to enable Madness, since their effects are so marginal. It's alright to have crappy discard outlets, but you shouldn't keyword them.

No 3 cmc common creature. With all that ramp you could do with another big haymaker.
No naturalize.
Very limited anti-air. Green will be unable to deal with any flying bombs.

>>48139112
>Gadyuka Wurm
I suppose I could make it a giant snake instead. Subtypes aren't very important in this set. Or I could find new art. Either or.
>Obsessive Attentiveness
The issue is card space. I wish I could make it work better and not be starved for space. It's already wordy for a common. All the Magnify common Auras are.
>Wanton Might
Thoughts on rebalancing it? Just make it cost G? Ramp the P/T bonuses to +3/+3 and +5/+5?
>Engulfing Growth
Hm. I actually heartily agree. I forgot about that card. And it plays nice with the Forest theme. Change made.
>Medvyet
Fair enough. Should I leave it a Rampage effect or go full Bushido with it?
>Adaptation
It's part of a modal cycle. I could replace it but it's a nice choice, I think, so I'm not too sure how to approach a change since I want to keep the mode choice aspect.
>Borovoi
Thanks. I like him too.
>Harsh Lessons
I thought it was clever, but you may be right that it's a better instant or sorcery. Or just removed. I like effects like this, but as an anthem maybe it's just too complex and too much in general.
>Fecund Hymn
Thoughts on the cost then?
>Hallucinatory Vistas
I can limit the number of cards you reveal, or I can make them go onto the bottom of your library in a random order to fix this situation, which is not a good one, I'll admit. I hadn't even considered that problem.

>Magnify
I am not getting a lot of positive feedback on it; mostly "meh"s, but a few people seem to like it, at least in concept, as a themed set Kicker cost. I just apparently don't know how to handle it with Madness floating around. Yes, that's why it's there, but I am not sure what to do to bring them in line. Maybe I should post all my Magnify stuff and pick the thread's collective brains on how to adjust them. I don't really want to get rid of it if I can help it.
>CMC 3 common
Hm. I'll see what I can do. I suppose it's bad form to expect a player to draft WG or RG to get one.
>No naturalize

Made this offline without access to the editor. Too lazy to the bottom line of text, it's meant to say.

"When one of the declared creature types doesn't exist on the battlefield, exile peace treaty."

HODOR, Hold the door!
3w
3/3
HODOR, Hold the door! Can block any number of creatures.

If HODOR, Hold the door! dies, exile it and put a 2/2 zombie token with Regenerate. (Costs 1 black mana)

>>48139393
If it read "whenever a source deals damage to you, you may put..." it would be great

pinging for 1 really isn't that bad, and since they'll probably only hit for 1~2 when it drops, it's definitely not worth the downside

Eh, so it works with goblin electromancer and not Heartless Summoning. I'm sure there's room for it.

I'd stick to instants, and toss in some instant/sorcery matters to make it gel better, though. Consider specifically creature graveyard hate?

>>48135570
Invokers are creatures with huge, 8 mana activated abilities.

I'm in the process of designing a Naya planeswalker. Which of these ultimates do you like best?

>You get an emblem with "Creatures you control get +3/+3 and have first strike, lifelink, and trample."

>You get an emblem with "At the beginning of your end step, put two 5/5 green Beast creature tokens with trample onto the battlefield."

>You get an emblem with "Whenever a source you control adds mana to your mana pool, creatures you control get +1/+1 until end of turn."

>Put an 8/8 Beast creature token that's red, green, and white onto the battlefield. It has trample, lifelink, and haste.

>You get an emblem with "At the beginning of your upkeep, distribute up to five +1/+1 counters among any number of target creatures you control."

>Until end of turn, creatures you control get +5/+5 and gain first strike, lifelink, and trample. (yay Titanic Ultimatum!)

>Choose up to three creature cards you own from outside the game with total converted mana cost 10 or less and put them onto the battlefield.

>For each creature you control, put a 5/5 green Beast creature token with trample onto the battlefield.

Got other ideas for ultimates?

>>48142152
You're going about this the wrobg way, I think. Give us an idea of mana cost and the first two abilities. That said, I think the last one has promise.

>>48142152
>Put an 8/8 Beast creature token that's red, green, and white onto the battlefield. It has trample, lifelink, and haste.

Simple but powerful and awesome. The one where you get creatures from outside the game is also cool.

>>48142202
I have different options for the other abilities. Creature token generation, mana generation, ueot buff, permabuff with counters, etc. Mana cost is probably gonna be 2RGW so I'll make sure the abilities are appropriate for that cost.

The -X ability doesn't work the way you think it does. Once it leaves its zone, it's treated as a separate entity by the game rules (except for certain abilities worded properly in the rules, like flashback) just have it give the card flashback 0
