Never been a fan of the tricolor piping. Also, not really seeing a great justification for this being tricolor. You could make it mono-White. Maybe incorporate some -N/-N? Give your creatures some keywords?

Solid design. I like your use of each color of the devotion going a different direction. Very solid.

Straight up about the rare guy, the Commander

if you remove vigilance, keep the other two effects and make this cost just RW, I would be excited as heck for the potential of the card in constructed. As it is now, it is u to the seless.

I think Commander needs to go

>>49710486
I could be wrong, but I think +X/+Y is mostly for triggered effects, where as "* is equal to ___" is more for actual power/toughness.

>>49710537
OK, the problem I'm seeing with what he has though is that it uses */* but the value of each variable is different, when usually, they're the same. And you can use +1/+1 or +X/+X instead of */*, there are some Bestow creatures that use that wording.

>>49710575
>it uses */* but the value of each variable is different,
* is not a variable. It means that the value should be referenced somewhere else.

It works fine. * is not like X. Notice how no card with * says "* is equal to."

It references power/toughness directly instead.

How's the wording / power level on these? Reworked Krampus from the input the other day and tried to give him a third ability.

>>49712766
I'd change Gift of Innocence to
>Choose one--
>:: You gain 2 life.
>:: Target opponent gains 2 life. You gain 4 life.
or
>Target player gains 2 life. If that player isn't you, you gain two life.

>Naughty Verdict
These sorts of mana-checking spells (like the Eventide hybrids) check on resolution, so they have odd and unintuitive targeting requirements. Naughty Verdict as written can't be cast without declaring a two targets (a creature, and a creature with power or toughness 1). Keep this in mind if that isn't intended behavior.

>Lit Chimney
Normally "that player or that creature's controller" (see Chain Lightning). Also, Gift is a subtype, so its capitalized.

>The Gift Within
Again, Gift is capitalized.

>Krampus
We've already gone off the rails with drawing other peoples cards, but this is wacky Cube land, so whatever. This is actually a really cool design, I like it. Technically speaking, Wizards only uses "any number" for dividing quantities greater than four. It's
>Draw up to three cards divided as you choose from among one, two, or three target players' libraries.
God that's a weird sentence, grammar wise. Check me on that, somebody else.

Updated the RW faction leader, who now actually uses the revamped RW faction mechanic.

>>49714597
That seems like a much worse version of the previous mechanic.

>>49714673
Care to elaborate?

>>49714728
It has the incredibly inelegant "if it's your turn" clause. Behaves drastically different depending on whether you're attacking or defending. And can't actually ambush anything when you use it on your turn.

>>49714853
>Behaves drastically different depending on whether you're attacking or defending.
Well, yeah. On offense it allows you to surprise attack, and on defense it allows you to surprise block.
>can't actually ambush anything when you use it on your turn.
It's 100% ambushier than it was, since this version allows you to play and attack with a creature in the same turn, where the previous ability was just time-limited flash.
>It has the incredibly inelegant "if it's your turn" clause.
What makes you say it's inelegant? It's by far the most concise way I've found to word this effect.

Man, I was on my phone and the browser I use doesn't like captcha, so I can't post very often, and wanted to give you feedback when you were mulling it over last time, but it seems you've settled on a new coat for Ambush.

Seems fine, but playtesting will tell you for sure. I had some ideas, but they aren't really relevant now I don't think. If it turns out not to work, and I remember, I'll share.

>Martyr
I would make his P/T more "red"; he's for saccing and suicide anyway, so why make him have a large ass? I think you like big butts and you cannot lie, Timeanon.

>Talir
Fine as it was last time round.

>>49709579
I'd make the indestructible thing cost mono-G, to make it a bit more demanding. GG would be fine. The Other is a bit odd; I'd think making it 5/5 with +1/+1 for each spider counter would be better since he shouldn't be as badass if he's vulnerable. Or maybe other way around? -1/-1 per counter, then he goes crazy when "threatened"? I dunno, he feels kinda plain at the moment. This guy feels less flavorful than Abuse to me, but we've proven time and time again that we have very different taste in cards. I'm also kinda tired, so take this with a grain of salt.

>>49709650
Awesome. Simple, but good stuff. It'd have to show up in a set with plenty of ramp though. I dunno if you could actually make it cheaper since the tokens get the ability too, so they get outta hand FAST.

I had to look this up and well I'll be damned, that's actually the wording. I was surprised; I figured it'd have to be some crazy complex series of nuanced steps or something. That's kinda refreshing to be honest.

>>49715062
These can be a bit more different from each other if you want. The green one especially chafes because it has flying. There are only a few cases where that's okay, and I'd advise you to see if you can make it work in a satisfactory way as a more "green" design first. Same goes for the white one having trample. A samey cycle can be as boring as it can be interesting, so be careful.

>card
I'm concerned about two things:
>Complexity as a common
>power level
It was originally meant to only have target opponent discard then draw, but I decided to go whole-hog and see if people thought it was too much. Can't always be too cautious, I guess. I'll tone it down and do "target" instead of "each" if I went too far.

Also, do you think this kind of thing fits in UB? Because if so, I have an idea. I know discarding into draw is usually red, but in this situation, paired as it is, does it work? Or is the card UR?

>>49715937
This is rather unintuitive with how combat damage works. Because combat damage is dealt at the beginning of the assign damage step (i.e. right after your mana pool normally empties), only the mana that keeps (from this card, from Savage Ventmaw, due to Upwelling, etc.) will actually matter for combat damage.

>>49716180
I was afraid of giving it the ability to prevent red mana from emptying for all sources, though perhaps I could do something weird and have it only retain red mana sources till the beginning of your second main phase/end of combat step? Seems awkward though.

>Kaine
Yeah, it does feel plain. It used Regen before and worked differently mechanically which I think also influenced its flavor. Now it's about as flavorful as Sriracha sauce. But I'm going with what Wizards is doing, and Wizards isn't doing Regen. Which is why I went back and changed this, as well as pic attached (still not entirely sure about the cost for the ability). I like your idea of having the counters modify P/T. Admittedly, for a long time the counters were only important for Kaine and were removed when he transformed, but an anon convinced me to keep the counters for The Other. Also lore: Kaine is a clone of Peter Parker. He has all his powers, and more, due to being chosen by The Other, a mystical being with a strong tie to spiders. Speaking of, that's why The Other has P/T at 8/8, because 8 is important to Spiders. Hmm, might reuse an idea I had of "~ can't be blocked except by eight or more creatures." and "~ can block an additional seven creatures each combat." Probably too OP though.

>8 6 9 9 8
Yeah, might actually name this one. "Simic Slime" maybe. Probably going to add some flavor text that goes something along the lines of "I solved the problem you had, why is it my fault the answer is making new problems?"

>Alfred
Oh, that's a reference to the Injustice comic, right? Yeah, honestly don't read comic tie-ins much. They're usually of poor quality and padded to obscene lengths. That's not even going into how their tenuous connection to continuity is always ignored later on, making reading them almost pointless. Oh, but I would like to see your opinions about Alf as he is now. Or does this mean you think it's fine now?

>Option Route
Not mine, but I don't see what's so funny. Oh wait, I didn't notice that football before. Huh, that's weird.

>Sabelyn
I think I'd like it more if it just held Red mana in forever. Or... oh, this might be evil... Or it could work like Kruphix and keep converting your unspent mana into Red mana.

>>49716225
The weird (but least dangerous) way to do it would be
>Red mana doesn't empty from your mana pool as steps in the combat phase end.
This means you can tap Mountains after Declare Blockers and your guys will still be pumped for Assign Damage. I'd also read it as mana emptying at the end of combat, because while the effect saves it across steps, its also a change of phase, and mana empties at the end of each step AND phase. But that'd require Wizards to clarify, probably.

>>49715937
Hey, SavageAnon!
>Ambush
How do you feel about the new version, both stand-alone and in comparison to the previous version?
>Martyr
I can make him a 3/2. He's 2/3 to make ambushing him in easier, since otherwise he's pretty mana-intensive to use in concert with other creatures all at once.
>I think you like big butts and you cannot lie, Timeanon.
I just tend toward the conservative when it comes to p/t, and toughness is generally the safer option to raise when balancing. I can totally see where you'd get that impression, though.
>Emberheart
It might confuse new players who try to dump red mana into their pool regularly, but I think you have a solid concept on your hands. Moonveil Dragon-style firebreathing might be a better, simpler option.

>>49715937
It's trying to do two things (sac artifacts for permanent anthem, and group firebreathing) which requires a lot more text to function or results in a massive power boost (by not letting any R empty). I suggest pick one and not deal with the mana emptying shenanigans.

>>49716176
The order of discard-draw should be the same for both effects, especially at common.

>>49716269
>Kaine
Huh, had no idea he was metaphysical like that. What is the Other like? Might help flesh out his abilities more.

>slime
Hm. Simic Slime is a bit boring. Maybe... "Inspired Infestastion"? Could do some text like "The rat problem was nearly insurmountable. The Simic solution was simple and elegant. The resulting problem was worse than the rats. The Golgari had mixed emotions." I dunno.

>Alfred
Him granting Absorb 1 to everything might be okay, but it's also pretty strong.

>Jason
Recursion like this doesn't really speak red to me (unless it's a Phoenix or an Instant/Sorcery) so it feels odd. I dunno what the solution is. Could be that it's just mono-B costed? Doesn't have to use both colors since the ping is turbo-red, and haste is shared. The recursion can be the black part.

You and >>49716275

>>49716307
Shh, I'm incognito.

>Ambush
Well, the idea of a surprise attacker/blocker is combat-oriented enough to be RW, and it toes an interesting line between Haste and Flash. I actually kinda like it.
>Emberheart
Took this into consideration; new iteration incoming with everyone's input considered.

>>49716341
>Sabelyn
I think you might like the new version better. Gimme a few to check it against other cards in Gatherer to make sure it's not too crazy.

>Lorebroker
That defeats the purpose of the card though. If everyone does it in the same order, it's not the advantage to the controller that it's supposed to be. Maybe I should rein it in and just go back to one opponent?

Okay, take three. Did some re-jiggering and I think I might have something. It's a bit more plain (read: less snowflake since the mana trick is kinda 'unique') but it shouldn't be as strange to less experienced players and it still does most of what it already did. Made the P/T 2/2 because lord and because I was worried 3/3 was too much with what she can now do. I can change it back if that is not the case.

>>49717059
Got it. Pastebin's changed.

>>49716361
>Kaine
The Other is, in a word, savage. It's basically the distillation of nature into one being. While it grants Kaine a connection to other spiders and an ability to command them (shit, still need to do Aquaman), it also amplified his aggression and violence towards others. It's basically the bad side of Green in a character. Nature is kill or be killed. If you can't kill, then you will die.

Oh shit, maybe Spider token gen for Kaine and they transform him into the Other? Wow, why didn't I think of that before? Thanks.

Well, I really want that effect. I think it fits his character of being the Batfamily medic, basically. Do you have any suggestions? One version had him flicker other creatures.

I guess it's just a reflex of mine to make activated abilities of multicolor cards use all of the colors. I dunno, it feels... lopsided if I don't do it, I guess. Probably just something personal I need to get over though, dunno.

>Athnahr 2
Are you reusing all the same keywords? Just curious.

>tricolor
OK, I'll point out right now that it would probably be best to just use all tri combinations. I mean, tricolor doesn't actually have a huge amount of design space, I think you'll need all the help you can get, especially if you decide to make it into a block. Though if you do, remember that you can always cheat a bit by making the second set 5-color focused.

>TimeSet 1
I'm curious, what do you think needs cleaning up? Jesus, feels like forever ago you made that set too.

>>49717264
Misread, thought it was just +1/+1.
+1/-1 is still too strong for a 1-drop though.

>>49717296
>Are you reusing all the same keywords? Just curious.
Some, but not all. I have some rough ideas mapped out so far. Escalate and Ambush would probably return. I've considered using dash somewhere. Convoke would be the BW faction mechanic, and I'm considering Unearth for BG. Some overarching mechanical things I'm thinking of including are off-color activated abilities on monocolored permanents and hybrid/generic mana (Spectral Procession style).
>Tricolor
I'll keep that in mind. I'm not set on using solely wedge color combinations, but I would like them to be included. 5-color set could be fun.
>I'm curious, what do you think needs cleaning up?
Wording and mechanical stuff, mostly. My grasp of wording and mechanics is certainly stronger than it was then (It's been nearly two years since I finished that set, hasn't it? At least two from the time that I started it. Damn.) I'd also like to add on to it a bit, as it's small for the first set in a block.
>Peter Parker
Web 'em up. Good translation of concept to card, flavorfully evocative and clear in what it does. I like it.

>>49717222
Well, I think going back to your first set is something you should probably do eventually, but I dunno about interrupting your steam on this block to do so. Of course, I also understand needing to walk away from something to take a breath and maybe take an outside look at it with fresh eyes. Personally, I wouldn't tackle Timeset1 till you're clear of any other projects.

>enemy wedge set
Ironically I have had to stifle stupid impulses to start setmaking and wedges was something I was looking at, but it's best if I don't ever do that again, I think. What do you have in mind?

>>49717156
This should probably be BB at least, maybe 2B, then the transfer of ownership should cost the same as that curse that gives enchanted player's creatures -1/-1. That'd work.

>>49717197
This is kinda underwhelming. You could pump up the Spell mastery a bit.

>>49717296
>Pete
I think this is the same version I recall from way back. Seems fine still.

>Kaine
Okay, now I want to see the spider counters give Kaine things that "ramp him up' to The Other. Maybe at one, he gets +1/+0, at two he has to attack every turn and gets double strike, and at three he transforms? Obviously downgrade him to First Strike to make it work. Then the Other stays fairly the same? I kinda want to see your idea too, now. You seem stoked. Glad I helped? I dunno what I did.

>Alfred
Flickerfred sounds more fun than Absorbfred, honestly.

>Sabelyn
Okay, that's good. Glad she's in a good spot. I might make her 3/2 but I'll leave her alone for now.

Okay, so I am getting the feeling people either don't care about this card (>>49716176) or it's just not something they want to go into, but I am genuinely curious. Khans had black discarding into drawing, albeit at a deficiency, but I really think that it's something that, when focused purely in an offensive nature, makes sense in black, and to some degree, in blue too, which is why I presented it in UB. It's kinda gnawing at me at the moment.

Sounds good. I like your ideas of color bending Convoke and Unearth (sorta). Off-color is fun, and that particular kind of hybrid mana is typically referred to as mono-hybrid. Which is also really fun.

Ah, I get it. Yeah, that's what happens when you hang out on the /ccg/ threads. Kinda the point really, so it's good to know that it happens.

>Peter Parker
Cool. Hmm, been a while since I did Marvel. Uh... Billy? Yeah, Billy. Going for "Your spells have Overload" int he most sane, concise way possible. I actually believe I can make a card that can mirror giving your spells Overload exactly, but it would be obscenely long and use wording that's never been seen on a card before. Oh, and I realize I need to find better art.

Hmm, probably should try those Spidey villains again...

Well, you helped me realize a possible design path. Which I'm sure is going to branch out into three or four ideas pretty soon. And yeah, I am kinda stoked. This is what happens to me. Inspiration strikes and the cards start making themselves in my head. Like, remember how we were working on your UBR card (wait, did you ever finish that?) and I needed you to give me limits because I just started coming up with idea after idea? It's like that.

Well, I mean, it is a common, it's likely not going to be mindblowing. That said, I think Dark Deal was Wizards dabbling in colors, as they did with Cast into Darkness and Viper's Kiss. Anyhoo, I think it would be better if it just cut straight to the point. Like maybe
>When ~ enters the battlefield, target opponent discards a card and you draw a card.

And as for a Dark Deal idea, maybe
>Each player discards his or her hand. You draw cards equal to the greatest number of cards a player discarded this way, and each opponent draws cards equal to the least number of cards a player discarded this way.
Dunno if "least" is correct.

Fair enough. Curious to see where it goes from here.

Uhh... I don't recall actually? I think I did, or at least got to another iteration. I set it aside though because ideas.

>Wiccan
Holy balls that's crazy. What about giving him a non-keyworded version of Strive instead?

>Lorebroker
I'm gonna cut to the chase here; UB doesn't get a ton of what I'm proposing, but with Impulse going to red now, and being a better mechanic which actually generates card advantage instead of being a shitty blue mechanic, well... why not give black (the discard color) and blue (the loot color) that mechanic back, but twisted and weaponized instead? TRIGGER WARNING: COLOR PIE TWISTING IN PROGRESS.

I don't want anyone getting all mad at me for proposing this, but the more I think about it, the more it makes sense in my obviously biased and bad at cards head. I'm just musing here.

>>49717807
You might want to make the draw conditional on that keyword so your opponent doesn't just get a free draw if they have no cards in hand. Also, it's pretty beneficial to them since they can choose an irrelevant card and possibly get something really good out of it.

>>49717839
An "if that player does" would suffice, I think. And yeah, it's unpredictable. It's just an idea though. Good point on the adjustment, thanks.

>>49717807
>Wiccan
Aw... And non-keyworded Strive is just "Copy target instant or sorcery spell. You may choose new targets for the copy." Which is good, but I wanted to try something different. Maybe restrict the ability somehow?

>Lapse
Not really sure I like this mechanic. I can just see it resulting in
>"Oh hey, my wincon! I was looking for this, thanks!"
And when you say "that mechanic" are you talking about rummaging? Because reverse impulse I could see in Black.

>>49717865
Maybe have them discard the card at random so that it's truly bad to get hit by? It would reduce some of the mindgames that could come out of weighing the option of looting and letting a creature hit you. In any case, I don't really think that it's keyword-worthy.

Hory shet. I dunno what my reaction to Myth was back in the day, but the idea of "reverse gods" is kinda neat to me.

>>49717882
I suggested Strive mainly because it's easier to balance since you pay for as many copies as you want instead of getting a blanket effect, which can be insane especially since it's one-sided by default.

>Lapse
Yeah gonna remake it with >>49717902's suggestion to make the discard random. I like that; it helps make the mechanic better overall. And yeah, I know it's not gonna be everyone's cuppa but I haven't tried doing anything with it yet either. And really, I was honestly prodding at that UB evergreen quandary again.
>that mechanic
Rummaging, yes. But yeah, black impulsing an opponent's cards is something I can see being a thing too. Just not keywordable, really.

>>49717902
To directly address you, I think it's at least more keyword worthy than Ingest. But again, biased since I made it, I guess. I do want to tinker around with it though. I'll make it random and then add an "if that player does" to prevent empty-hand issues. See where that takes me.

>>49717969
This does look pretty cool. I like it way better. More interesting to me overall. Not sure about the cost (a 3/3 doublestriker at CMC5 with all that utility is a hard sell to me, even as a Legend) but at least it's a cool idea.

>>49718434
>I think it's at least more keyword worthy than Ingest
Well yeah, almost everything is more worthy than that.

>>49718443
Yeah, really ain't saying much. I wonder what I can do with it though. Probably mostly just "on discard" effects and maybe some "on draw" effects too. Ultimately it feels like it might be kinda narrow but if it isn't a combat trick or changing the rules of combat somehow then it's gonna be kinda tactically plain. There are plenty of strong keywords that are plain, they're just good. This probably isn't one of them but eh, I like positing ideas. Good stuff comes from them sometimes, or maybe they inspire someone else.

Oh, right. No, that's just me forgetting to adjust the mana cost of the card after I changed it. Kind of a bad habit. I guess I'll start at 4RG, though if it goes any higher I'll have to rethink the sac clause to activate Indie, and probably give it Haste.

That's really, really weird. I can see the combo potential, but it's mostly outside of its color identity.

>>49718713
There's no point in choosing the 1 option since reducing mana costs by a colored mana also reduce generic mana costs.

>>49718699
Yeah, but I'm thinking equipments with keywords like lifelink and infect. It would probably be broken as shit if it did deal commander damage.

Huh, didn't know, I'll fix that.

>>49718737
>What color would it be then? White?
I mean the combo potential is outside of its color identity. Like deadlocking the game by slapping a Ghostly Possession on it.

>>49718749
Yeah, I would expect it to boil down to a strange artifact voltron thing that usually probably wins by infect or something. Maybe I could add abilities that add keywords for B or G or something like that?

Nah, keep it simple and let it play off of red's ability to mess around with artifacts to make some sort of fucked up combo. I honestly love the card's Johnnyness.

>>49718726
>There's no point in choosing the 1 option since reducing mana costs by a colored mana also reduce generic mana costs.
No, the reminder text of similar cards like edgewalker and ragemonger explicitly tells that the effect reduces only the amount of colored mana you would have pay.

>>49718908
Not that guy, but look it up in the comp rules. Those cards have rules text that explicitly says that they only reduce costs for colored mana. If they didn't have that small clause, they would reduce colored mana, then generic mana after that.

>>49718908
Those are both in rules text, not reminder text. Look at both of them again.

Made something janky that basically gives every instant/sorcery card in your hand splice. Should I keep the X cost or use the revealed card's actual mana cost itself?

>>49718974
I don't see why you would need to do that.
Just
>Remove two +1/+1 counters from ~: Creature spells you cast this turn cost G or U less.

>>49719027
Not him, but the restriction and the 1 make you choose a hard reduction in green or blue or a soft reduction in both.

>>49719045
I know, but it's just so awful. The way it is, it's just a strictly worse Animar.

>>49719066
Animar only lets you reduce generic costs. This design gives you flexibility in reducing colored costs and also generic costs.

>>49719078
It also requires you to pay +1/+1 counters per each instance. Animar just gives you the straight generic reduction which is generally what you need reduced anyways.

>>49719111
But it is not, as you said, "strictly better." Animar is generally better, but not strictly.

>>49719125
I would still consider Animar strictly better, but hey whatever you think is fine.

>>49719066
>>49719078
>>49719111
I know that its worse than Animar, that was sort of the goal, a more balanced (though maybe over nerfed) Animar in a slightly different flavor. I see the card as encouraging weenies and proliferate effects more than ramp and stompy guys the way Animar does. It would probably end up somewhere on the low end of power for the set.

>>49719141
Yeah, it isn't high power but Animar is pushed way to hard. It maybe hits a happy medium, but only testing will show that.

I'm still not feeling the "colors matter" theme. I can see "colored matters" and "colorless matters" since they usually have a running theme of colored being natural and colorless being unnatural (eg. artifacts and Eldrazi). Or "monocolored matters" and "multicolor matters" but only if there's a multicolor thing going on like Ravnica's guilds. I mean, it's just that not all cards in the same color have the same flavor, you know?

Anyway, I think it would be better if there were at least some sort of payment for the ability. Like
>[...] spell, for each of that spell's colors, you may pay one mana of that color. Copy that spell for each one mana paid this way. You may [...]
Maybe, I guess. Or you could have it meet a requirement, like also having a permanent of that color.

Really not liking this Worship keyword. Or the Ritual one. Worship just seems like forced synergy. And that's not even getting into forcing people to play this weird strategy with exactly one legend and no others. What is people want options? Then there's the issue of keeping track of the board state, which I can guarantee you will be a nightmare. And Ritual is just a very clunky version of the spells from the Time Spiral block that cared about being cast at sorcery speed. Speaking of, I don't like how these are designed so most of them cost so much more than the mana cost. They're instants being cast at sorcery speed, that's already a downside, which is why the Time Spiral block cycle has an upside for that.

>>49724141
I like how the white ritual is kind of the opposite of the others, with the cheap ritual cost and high normal cost.
I feel as though Zhog Noggoth's Promise is going to be difficult to fit in to your set.

The keyword as-is is working as intended. It's meant to allow you to surprise drop extra attackers or blockers, but not skip part of combat; your opponent is meant to have the opportunity to block. Attacking ambushers already avoid sorcery speed removal and have pseudo-haste, so allowing them to sneak in unblocked would be, in my opinion, too uninteractive.

Black bonus on Second Summons is very slight, especially considering how much better the bonus on other cards are.

Rotspore Burst needs "up to one target creature you control".

Cleansing Inferno feels too similar to Rotspore since both damage only creatures.

Soilspeaker: "up to one target instant..." Could have 3 power. I like this one the most as both abilities are related, yet still fully within their own color identity.

Concepts for a second set in what would become an Athnahr block. The second set would continue to work with the first set's cost matters and big mana themes and would contain the same factions. Proposed keywords and mechanics have been chosen to work well with both the overarching set (now block) themes and the specific factions and mechanics of the previous set. This set will also be multicolored with an enemy-color focus.

Thoughts?

If it can't work in both color independently, you probably shouldn't use it. Otherwise you just cut corners as Wizards did in Alara (which is preceisely why I mentioned using both shards and wedges in the same set/block).
>Mardu
...What? Yeah, no kidding it wasn't in White, that's because FRF was the middle point in the block, after the set with wedges and before the set with ally colors. It was a transition where each faction was cutting out their enemy color, none of them had their keywords in the enemy color for the FRF set. Not really a strong case for having Dash in Blue.

>Pinnacle
Scourge tried something similar. I think you should see if Wizards mentioned how well it did so you can learn from their mistakes.

>>49727455
The mardu example is just an instance of a faction mechanic not available to every color within the faction, similar to the way I was planning on working with Dash. If not Dash, then I'll have to work on developing a similar yet more blue-leaning mechanic.

>>49726011
Threadly reminder that modal mana spells/abilities check the mana used on resolution, so their targeting requirements are odd. Notably, Rotspore Burst can't be cast without a creature you control, Cleansing Inferno can't be cast without targeting an enchanted/equipped creature, and Soilspeaker's ETB will fail to trigger (lacking a set of valid targets) if there isn't an instant or sorcery in your graveyard.

Too strong. This essentially makes your library your hand if you build your deck zoo enough. The effect is so potent I don't think there is a safe way to balance her without just making her cost a bunch.

That flavortext feels really bad. I'd try:

>>49735405
That active cost looks really gross and makes no sense. Also a commander should be designed to be synergistic with a theme that is found in its colors. Right now she doesn't really do anything special besides get real big and swing good.
If you really want to make her WURG I'd recommend making her having some kind of effect like Banner of Command but instead cares about unique creature types instead of shared.

>>49735444
Why does it feel bad? Do you just not like it personally? Cause that's just like, your opinion man.

Yeah, I guess back to the drawing board with this one.

>>49735452
The flavortext is lankthy and diddles around the subject. The first sentence is very broad and the second tries to follow up but feels awkward to read. The whole theme of the card is just kind of jumbled and unclear.

I don't just want a field of worshipers and no big dudes. I don't want a tribal situation.

>>49735503
Then just make the player really want to play the big dudes. You're basically making some kind of exalted, so just make the payoff big enough. Otherwise, you're just going to slip into parasitic design.

>>49735545
If it hits everything in a cmc bracket I don't see how I can pull that off.

>>49735503
>spread out as you please
Well, I can't think of a more elegant way to do it, sorry Ringanon. I mean, most players are just gonna slap all the bonuses on their largest, best creature anyway, so it'll likely play the way you want it to 85% or more of the time anyway. The best creature to Deify will be what the player Deifies.

>>49735558
The other option I considered is doing it in reverse, where the big creature carries the keyword and gets bonuses for the number of creatures you attach to it, but that's not quite as useful from a design perspective.

>>49722972
I was going to recommend giving it only three toughness so it dies to bolt, but at six mana it should be fine.

I figure it's okay, since the mana you have to spend looting takes away from any potential mana to cast madness spells, so you need a ton of mana to even do anything with it. It honestly doesn't really need blue though.

You realize Storm only works for I/S cards, right? Well, you could do a manual cast trigger for an effect.

>>49743711
I know that actual storm is for instants and sorceries only, but I'm thinking an ETB trigger that checks if you cast it, like: when ~ enters the battlefield, if you cast it from your hand, copy it for each other TRIBE spell that you've cast this turn. This last clause could also be changed to TRIBE card that you've played this turn or something to that effect.

This card doesn't feel green, and it could easily be mono black. Why does it exile from your top with the +1? Why does it have an over costed 2 wipe when it isn't in red?

Nothing about this is blue. This card feels really RBW. Dealing damage to creatures in combat fits RW really well, while the almost vindicate is obviously W or B or WB.

This feels really over costed. Like a good comparison would be Martial coupe. Martial is strictly better in a lot of situations and costs less, and is a lower rarity.
If the tokens got death touch and lost defend this would be okay at mythic, but still feel like a rare. It could also be GB instead of WB.

No. Repeatable stone rain for less then stone rain isn't fair, even if it requires you to have a wide board. I think making it, "When ~ enters the battlefield, destroy target land if you control X or more creatures."

I'm sorry, but I just need to point out how wrong this statement is. Yes, Red ALONE doesn't get hard counters, true. But when it's being used in a card with a color that does get hard counters alone, it's fine. The entire point of multicolor is to combine aspects of two or more colors. OK, that's the point most of the time. Sometimes it's just a justification to make something with a relatively very low CMC.

Counter flux is a fine UR counter spell because there are aspects of that that are both R and U. If C-flux only fits as UR though because it has 2 effects on it that both fit R very well, as well as U (Overload and the "Can't be countered" line.)
If it was lacking either I'd argue it could be mono blue.

Nothing about that card though feels red. All of its effects and keywords are pretty blue. Honestly it feels more UG due to G getting so many "almost-turnaside" effects.

That looks retardly powerful, specially since the second time around is literally card advantage and you can mill your deck and then cast that for a single mana

>>49746747
>omen
I am looking at what it does, and it says you can only cast a card that has been Omened when a creature you control leaves the battlefield. How does that play into Impulse? I assume you mean that since it has Omen it can be cast from exile even if you don't cast it the turn you impulse it? I suppose so, but the keyword still seems more UB to me overall given the "normal" usage of the mechanic.

>>49746647
I see.

>>49746725
Well, I know people that like Reddit. I don't care one way or another about them. Artist credits are nice but I think only really belong on cards going into sets to be used a played with. One-offs are just as likely to be discarded or forgotten as not.

>>49746750
Well, this post is basically all opinion. I mean I can get that having a creature get stuck in stasis can be unfun but at least it has to interact with her in combat; Banisher Priest just straight up gets rid of it for 1WW and you can't do a damn thing unless you get rid of the priest. You get your creature back the next time you block her. Though, that does make me think I might remove her ability to do it on a block. Seems a bit annoying come to think of it.

>>49746787
She cloudshifts so you get the last exiled card back and replace it with the new one. Though as I said, I think it might only make it when she's blocked to make it more interesting overall.

Creatures leaving the battlefield isn't tied to a color. Red's creatures leave the battlefield all of the time; through combat, through removal, from dash-style effects like Glitterfang. When working with it, I'll make sure it has plenty of in-color enablers.

>>49747128
I appreciate your input. I just don't have the option of making it UB. It either works for me in UR, or it's back to the drawing board for me.

>>49747159
Well, hopefully you get more input that confirms or denies your decision. Sometimes it takes a few threads to get enough feedback to make a good judgement call on a set mechanic. They are kind of important to get squared away early, since so much rides on them.

I had a weird idea for Miyuki up there. She is such a weird card, but I like her nonetheless. Hopefully this one makes all the choices that occur surrounding her more meaningful. Or it just made her more convoluted, I dunno.

What should this cost?

Rat Enchantment
Whenever a rat you control deals combat damage to a player, draw a card.
Whenever you draw a card, put a 1/1 black rat creature token with deathtouch onto the battlefield.

>>49747451
Well, usually, you shouldn't make a card that can combo by itself. But anyway, I would make it legendary and make it cost 3BB

why not? wizards does this all the time

Ah, much better. It is weird how it discourages blocking like this though. I feel like there should be some way to do the exile thing without making it broken. I'll try to come up with something. Also, what's her lore?

>>49747185
You're not wrong there. Thanks for the support, man.

>>49746750
That's too good dude.

>>49747573
Well, I felt that instead of making the exile/return cycle automatic, adding a choice might spice it up. I wouldn't say it discourages blocking so much as it makes you decide whether a low-risk block is worth losing the creature you have locked up in exile. Play/counterplay is important to good design (god I sound like MaRo...)

No real lore surrounding her; the mechanic is what popped into my head while debating the finer points of giant atomic lizards with my brother. Her being a samurai was more because I had good art for it and the fact that I was talking about a Japanese film at the time. If someone making a Kamigawa 2.0 wanted to use her, I'd be more than happy.

>Brightest Day
Hm. I get that it being a blanket effect, and therefore "equal" is very white, but it kinda messes with the idea that it's really a "Brightest Day" since your opponent is getting their stuff too. Though, to be fair, white is pretty okay at GY hate, so...

>>49747590
I have to ask: is this you, Timeanon?

Well, it just seems odd that a White card has an upside to attacking and a downside to blocking.

>Brightest Day
Goddamnit. I'm trying to make a pair of cards that mirror each other, along with this guy, Blackest Night. But I have no idea how to get them on the same level as each other.

I never realised there was a thread for this before. I used to think up my own cards all the time and would love some feedback : D. For this guy I really struggled with exiling cards face up or down, and whether "ultimate" should be -x or just a plain cost

>>49747786
Seems really, really weak. No utility or means to deal with your opponents in any way.

>>49747820
What I tried to do was creating a very greedy card, and when trying to test it, I had difficulty balancing it. (also, was tested in a set of my own design, so that may explain why I had so much trouble getting the power right : D)

>>49747876
Stop it with the emoticons. It's also not very greedy, and is in fact pretty conservative and boring.

>>49747884
I may have misstated what I meant. I tried to get a mindset, where you would want to "greed out" on him, essentially generating a card's value each turn, but you would risk not getting the value each time you didn't cash in. I compared him to Jace Beleren, in that he is a 3 mana planeswalker that can draw you a card every turn, but not indefinitely

>>49747736
Well, I was thinking a little about Gustcloak when making it, if that means anything.

Blackest Night makes a lot more sense to me, because I think it's easier to build around losing all your creatures than it is to give your opponent back all of theirs. Just less steps all told. So, Brightest Day might just need to be one-sided, or give your opponent a consolation prize that doesn't make up for all the creatures you're getting. Maybe drawing a card for every creature you get? I dunno. Something that won't save them from getting their faces smashed, but is still "keeping it equal", I'd say.

>>49747786
I looked at this and thought of something really crazy:

0: Create a 0/1 <color> soldier token named Bodyguard. It has "Can only block creatures attacking Nubo, the Greed."

0: Reveal the top card of your library, then exile it and put a number of loyalty counters on Nubo equal to its converted mana cost.

-X: X must be all loyalty counters on Nubo: Until end of turn, you may cast any number of cards exiled with Nubo with total converted mana cost equal to the number of loyalty counters removed from Nubo.

I dunno. I went pretty far off the reservation with this.

>>49747931
>in that he is a 3 mana planeswalker that can draw you a card every turn, but not indefinitely
But he doesn't do that. His method of draw is just setting it aside, instead of actually drawing. If you use his ability every turn it can only get you cards after you pop his ultimate, but if he dies before that they're all gone in a flash. You almost never get your card value, especially if you're going to generate blockers.

>>49747948
Oh god, what was I doing with that ult wording? Should have used X to represent the CMC, not all them damn words.

>>49747786
Please read the op.

>>49747786
This would make more sense as a regular enchantment, as is it's super slow and being vulnerable to attacks or Lightning Bolts makes that a huge liability.

How about making him UB and changing it to something like...


+1: Choose target creature you control. Ff that creature dies before your next turn, exile the top two cards of your library.
-2: Exile any number of creatures you control. For each creature exiled this way, draw a card.
-5: Put all cards exiled by Nubo into your hand.

You can either build up to the ult by nominating bodyguards, or just greedily nuke your dudes for cards.

>>49748030
What are you referring to? The art? Sorry, I just had this one laying around. The art is from the Dominion card game, if that helps

>>49747948
I don't care if Day is "keeping it equal" or not, I just want something that does mass recursion, just as Night does mass removal. God these two cards are such a pain. I'm never going to do a mirrored pair again.

>>49748086
Sorry dude, didn't mean to cause more irritation.

>>49748083
You used cardsmith, which is a big nono.

>>49748048
I actually really like this! The only problem I have is that my cycle is 3-mana mono color planeswalkers. I actually had "You may exile a creature card from your graveyard, if you do" at the bodyguard-ability at one point, but it actually made it worse

No, I'm just pissed because Reddit is the least intuitive or helpful site to ever exist, and my computer is throwing a fit over Chrome having more tgan ten tabs open at once.
