Posting bad ideas. A bit of interest in this last thread but we'll see where it goes this time.

I will say that I understand these might have to be reworded for one of two reasons: either it's too confusing and would work better by linking it to the creature then letting the creature tap in addition to requiring you pay the exiled card's cost, then you cast a copy from exile. OR, it's too much of a "you'd need new Comp Rules and that's no bueno" issue and that'd necessitate a similar change in wording, I think. But other than that, it seems like it could be fun. I did a demo for every color, even though it started out as a UBr concept.

I'm making a set with -1/-1 counters. There's quite a lot of cool stuff you can do with them.

>>49938039
Repeatable omni-destruction is not okay at five mana. Angel of Despair kills one permanent, once, at seven mana.
Also, if you build your deck right, and it dies, you will almost always win.
Weird to see a living bomb that isn't red.

>>49939277
You know what would be interesting? If it used -1/-1 counters instead of plague counters. Provides a hard limit on a very powerful control effect.

>>49940247
Thing is, even if you overprice these by a shitload, they're still too strong when repeated. Adding a "discard a card" to the glyph cost would go a long way to fixing this.

>>49940327
I tried this; more power to your if you can manage it. I'm not saying the design space is narrow; I'm saying I'm terribly uncreative. I'd love to see someone pull it off, but people tend to like +1/+1 counters better so you might meet a bit of resistance to the notion. I'd personally like to see it. Get yourself a set symbol so we know what cards are associated with your set. Card seems fine; green easily gets 5/5s for 5 at uncommon and it kills itself to not die, so it's diminishing returns. No trample means it can be chumped so that helps keep it fair.

>Repeatable omni-destruction is not okay at five mana.
Yeah, didn't think so. Maybe...
>XWB, T: Destroy target nonland permanent with converted mana cost X or less.
Kinda wanted land destruction, but I can see why it's not the best thing to have.

>Also, if you build your deck right, and it dies, you will almost always win.
Should I just get rid of that aspect entirely? Or limit it somehow?

>Weird to see a living bomb that isn't red.
I thought about it, but that would really restrict what he could destroy. It seems that targeted Red destruction doesn't really hit anything but artifacts and lands, and I want this to at least hit creatures. Though, strangely, Red can boardwipe pretty much everything. Probably going to do an Obliterate reprint with Human Bomb art though.

>Dr. Death
Feels kinda odd for the ability to threaten to kill him as well. Though I will rebalance it somehow. Might just make it a flat effect.

>card
Eh... Not sure about this. I guess it's fine for an uncommon.

>>49940432
Well, my thought was that since you have to have the Glyph card to cast it to get the effect, as long as I cost them similarly to Cipher cards, it's alright because you're paying mana and tapping instead of dealing combat damage. If these abilities were just straight up on a creature, they'd be overpowered, but the fact that you have to have the card, cast it, then get the activated ability I think softens the blow a little. Ain't saying it's perfect, but I think it's worth exploring. Of course, if it balances better, I'm not that opposed to making them turn your creatures into Spellshapers; I love Spellshapers. I'm just seeing about what can be done to keep it as low-drag as possible.

>>49940528
Well thanks man, glad you do. It's not often I come up with something people like, sad to say.

Student seems fine. At first I was going to ask why he doesn't just filter the mana himself, but in the case of sets that care about artifacts, it can matter and the extra step really isn't that big a deal.

>>49940528
Going by Gold tokens, I think it should say
>Sacrifice this artifact

>>49940602
Having to deal combat damage is a much riskier proposition than a tap. They should be much closer to creature abilities than spells.

Well if that's the case, then I suppose I can take the Spellshaper route with them. Shame about the extra wordiness, but I guess it's necessary to make the keyword work. Also, speaking of that, do we like Glyph or Rote better? Rote makes more grammatical sense, if that matters.

Tell me exactly what you're trying to do with this.

>>49950375
She's meant to slow a game down to her pace, with her ability punishing players for being overly aggressive and playing low end cards. Particularly, mono red is meant to have a lot of difficulty dealing with her, though I don't really want her to be too strong against all the other colors.

Thanks, though I changed it to get away from counters. Now it's a +1/+1 pump and your choice of a keyword (haste, vigilance, flying).

>Well, my Idea was
OK, I can see that. Though I guess my problem is that counting lands is way more Green's thing. Actually, a quick query on MagicCards for the string
>each land you control
or
>number of lands you control
found 0 in mW, 2 in mU (one is Terraformer, which affects lands, not count them), 2 in mB (and one of them is Herald of Leshrac, which has its own twist on this), 1 in mR, and 12 in mG. And for the 6 in multicolor, ever single one but Dakkon has G in it.

I guess you could count Plains since it seems like every color can count its land type without issue. Or maybe leave it as-is and just add G. I guess in that case it would be easy to justify by making them Human tokens, since you could then point to Innistrad's Human GW tribe.

>Dr. Death
That, and there's already a legendary enchantment that does -1/-1 for all creatures at 2BB. I guess making him a creature could be used to justify it having the same cost... but yeah, I'd rather play it safe for now.

Need more details. Do they end up still being able to interact with things? Or are they literally made of light and therefore intangible. Because if the latter, you could make them become an Enchantment until end of turn and lose all abilities. Or, you could use phasing.

>>49959488
>details.
Light isn't intangible. How do you think lasers work? Anyway, I'm just going to let Wikipedia explain it for me. The character is Ray Terrill, superhero name... The Ray.
>Ray absorbs, stores and processes light; uses the energy to fly and create destructive bursts of coherent radiation. His energy capacity is virtually limitless. He is capable of manipulating light externally to create illusions and even solid light constructs, as well as render himself and others invisible He can convert his body completely into any wavelength on the EM Spectrum. No physical harm from impact can come to him in this form (as demonstrated when Lobo punched Ray through his skull[9]). This process can also be used to "reset" damage that his physical form has already sustained (seen in the story "Ray Gets Shot In The Head[10]" where a bullet was lodged at the base of his skull; Ray was told by doctors he would be paralyzed from the neck down, but after turning to his energy form the damage was healed instantly). As pure energy, he can travel at the speed of light and cross space unassisted.

>phasing
Pic related. Though I wouldn't oppose using flicker.

>>49959643
Tangibility is touch, /CO/anon. If you can grab light and manipulate it with your hands, you deserve your own Magic card. If he was made of pure light, nobody could touch him, hence he would be intangible. However, if you want to be ultra-pedantic (and why not, I guess) light does have a physical presence, but for all intents and purposes regarding combat in general in MtG, he'd be intangible. Couldn't punch him, could fry him with lightning or other energy transfer attacks.

Anyway.

He reads a bit like Ms. Marvel. Hm. You could do something where when he becomes the target of a spell or ability, he becomes indestructible until end of turn and gains counters based on the CMC of the spell or the cost of the ability. He can then use the counters to do things?

>phasing
It's just misunderstood, man. And also really bad for the rules/gamestate in general.

I don't know why I even did this, but for some reason I felt like making a flavorful drawback. Went through a couple of phrasings until I settled on this one. It's as pared down as I could get it. I thought it might be a fun drawback to strap to red stuff. If I were to keyword it I'd call it Recklessness or something, but keyworded downsides are no-nos usually, so eh.

>>49960383

>>49960403

Have a card with twelve fucking lines of text, plus a slightly better version of that card.

Honestly, here's what I wished I could get on the card:

Ill Fate (or a way better name)
XB Enchantment
~ enters the battlefield with X fate counters.
2: Add or remove a fate counter from ~. Any player may activate this ability, but only any time they could cast a sorcery and only once per turn.
2 (or more?), T, Sacrifice ~:
If ~ had four or more fate counters, each creature gets -2/-2 until end of turn.
If ~ had eight or more fate counters, each creature gets -4/-4 until end of turn and each player discards a card instead.
If ~ had twelve or more fate counters, destroy each creature and each player discards two cards at random instead.

Alternately, instead of 12, it's 13, and the scaling is less orderly- the first ability at, say, 2 counters, then at like 6 or something. Maybe try to take unlucky numbers from many cultures if such a thing is possible.

Honestly this card is too much of a clusterfuck to make work.

>>49961853

Pared down to a managable 10 lines of text. The problem is that these sorts of scaling counter effects are wordy as fuck. Thats why you almost never see effects that don't scale linearly.

>>49962067
I was basing that off of Mimic Vat, which does have you return to a graveyard.

>>49962144
The card returns to the grave because it was there in the first place.

>Whenever a nontoken creature dies, you may exile it
>Whenever a nontoken creature is put into the graveyard from the battlefield, you may exile it

Its not a replacement effect, its a trigger. So, again, you have to use put instead of return.

Anybody else having trouble getting images to expand? Kinda hard to rate cards when you can't read 'em.

Also, I have a strange question: How important do you think color identities are when tied to factions? Would a set/block that focused on "lesser" factions that were bound more to color that worked for greater factions that weren't be interesting to people? Or do you need Guilds/Clans/Shards to feel like the set is a more coherent thing? I have some ideas and I want to know if they are interesting to anyone before I proceed.

What does this mean?

Anyway, the factions should be heavily tied to their colors, at least in lore. For actual mechanics, they're allowed to fudge the rules a bit. Like how Detain and Evolve aren't really mono-Blue.

>>49972665
I'd keep the equip cost the same, drop the cast to 3.

>>49972665
>What does this mean?
It means that different tribal areas/associations/groups might have stronger color ties (this tribe is RG, etc) but the over-arching plot and the greater powers are essentially 5-color

>Anyway, the factions should be heavily tied to their colors, at least in lore. For actual mechanics, they're allowed to fudge the rules a bit. Like how Detain and Evolve aren't really mono-Blue.
This bothers me to a degree I suppose it shouldn't, but eh, I guess the idea isn't worth exploring then. Better to not waste my time on something nobody wants. I don't want to fudge mechanics into colors, I want to make cards with mechanics heavily tied to their colors in a world where the colors mingle more naturally and aren't tied to factions with hard color identities. Oh well.

Original idea for this is that when she died, she's make a token for each permanent attached to her then attach one of those permanents to one of those tokens. Turns out it didn't work as I thought it would, but I plan on going back to the idea. This is basically Kemba on steroids. Also, does 3/3 seem good for DC Amazons? They need to be bigger than 2/2, but I don't want to go crazy with making huge tokens either. For reference, Batman is 3/3, Wondy is 6/6.

>>49972760
>It means that different tribal areas/associations/groups might have stronger color ties (this tribe is RG, etc) but the over-arching plot and the greater powers are essentially 5-color
Isn't that nearly every multicolor focused block ever? I mean, the only real exception I can think of is Lorwyn-Shadowmoor, which had an uneven distribution of the colors throughout the tribes.

>I want to make cards with mechanics heavily tied to their colors in a world where the colors mingle more naturally and aren't tied to factions with hard color identities.
Isn't that how the colors work naturally? I've always told people I'm against colors matter because the mechanics of the colors themselves will naturally play off of the mechanics of the other colors.

>>49973287
I don't think you get what I'm really saying here, but there's no point in browbeating over it. If I can't explain it simply, it's not going to translate well and it's not worth doing.

>Hippolyta
2/2 would be fine for an Amazon. That implies they are, at base level, as strong as a bear. Pretty good. I'm sure Batsy could take a basic bitch Amazon one-on-one, so 2/2 works for me, but eh, you do you.

>>49973345
Seems cool.

>>49973388
Eh, it could just be me. Keep asking other people, see what they think.

Actually, you just give me an idea, making Hippolyta an Amazon lord. Yeah, I think I'll go with that.

>>49973448
Nah, me and sets don't get along. It's best that this ends up not going anywhere probably.

>>49973345
Might be okay. I'd make it 2 life per creature myself, and do away with the X in the cost (replaced by 2 generic) but that's just me.

>>49973498

>>49973644
It'd take a lot of examples to really make it "make sense" I guess, but basically what I am trying to convey is that these two cards could be in the same army, even if there isn't a BW faction. The "unifying" factors would be multicolor generals of varying shades, who all in turn work for kingdoms greater than themselves, which employ/represent all five colors. So you support draft archetypes with some multicolor support, but there aren't any real "factions" like Temur or Orzhov. Does that make sense? It's cult of personality stuff in a set where colors are what they are, and unify into a greater whole through some contrivance or another. They can all play together, depending on the deck you build, but there are no defined lore "factions" as stated above. If this doesn't make sense, I'm aborting the notion. I personally think it's a simple concept but I guess I'm having a hard time explaining it, which I suppose means it really isn't.

>>49973883
That's basically how most non multicolor sets work out

>>49974059
I guess it would probably end up feeling more like a Core set, yeah. I mean you have to support archetypes for draft so having workhorse 2 and 3 color uncommons and rares is necessary, and adds flavor, as would the included Legends, but the core of the set would be monocolor with a smattering of multicolor commons and uncommons. Probably more than a Core set has had, but less than say Ravnica or something. The big change would be that any custom mechanics wouldn't be tied to factions, they'd be tied to color, so you wouldn't end up with anything like Extort or Evolve floating around.

>>49974121
The main reason for factionalism in the heavy multicolor sets is actually down to color fixing. Trying to support every color pair in a set would be a nightmare.

>>49973883
Seems fine. Basically what most sets do now, but with more multicolor. Go for it. Let me know if you want any help.

>>49974157

Yeah, that's my beef with it. It lets you play BW goodstuff and have a dangling threat of "don't tap out or I'll just end the game!" And even if the rest of the table holds up removal, the last chance to do so is (technically, if the ability were worded correctly) is the end of the Second Main. Which means they can play it again for 4.

So the table has to hold up two pieces of removal on each of your turns and fight through protection, when you inevitably Hatred yourself down to 1 life and "Oops, I'm the lowest life!"

It's a dumb wincon that's too slow for competitive and too unfun for regular.

How do you play a single card as two creatures?

Fuck if I know.

>>49980628
For the first ability just put the artifacts into your hand, casting from reveal is possible but is wordier.

You can't nest activated abilities inside each other. Should be "if you do, you may put.."

"You get an emblem with..". I'd cut down on how many effects it tries to do per trigger.

>>49980628
Optional clauses in brackets.
>Exile the top three cards of your library. You may cast artifact cards from among them until end of turn. [Put any nonartifact cards exiled this way on the bottom of your library in any order.]
>You may return an artifact you control to its owner's hand. If you do, you may put an artifact card from your hand onto the battlefield.
>You get an emblem with "Whenever an artifact enters the battlefield under your control, put a +1/+1 counter on each creature you control, then scry 1. Then, this emblem deals 1 damage to target creature or player.

First ability is wordy, but probably fine. Easier to leave things in exile than having to worry about separating them out. Alternatively, something like
>Reveal the top three cards of your library. You may cast an artifact card from among them. Put each card not cast this way onto the bottom of your library in any order.

I like the Master Transmuter effect on the -2.

The emblem adding counters isn't really a UR thing. Also, its a little underwhelming. Maybe
>You can emblem with "Whenever an artifact enters the battlefield under your control, draw a card."
Its simple but powerful.

>>49980628
>>49980674
Aside from mechanics, he very much feels like just an artificer. Maybe add some white in so you can give him some pacify style effects, maybe some permanent exchange? Something to reflect his other natures.

>>49980678
yeah, thought +1/+1 wasn't UR enough. I thought about adding white initially, because he likes to establish inns for planeswalkers as neutral zones. So being a community oriented character, who also enforces a neutral zone rule maybe I could add white and keep the +1/+1s?

The spirit behind the card was to get the emblem, then use his 1st and 2nd abilities to spam artifacts and artifact creatures until you get something huge or burn them out. Should I cut the scry then?

>>49980628
PW type should exactly match their first name for parity with other PW cards.

>+1: Exile the top three cards of your library. Until end of turn, you may cast any artifact cards revealed this way.
I wouldn't allow the bit about putting them back into your library; that's way too good for what you're already getting.

>-2: Return an artifact you control to its owner's hand. If you do,...
Master Transmuter as a -2 is really good, but not sure if too good. Might be okay. Needs the "if you do" to ensure the bounce happens, I think, since in Master Transmuter the bounce is part of the cost.

>-7: You get an emblem with "Whenever an artifact enters the battlefield under your control, put a +1/+1 counter on each creature you control, scry 1, then ~ deals 1 damage to target creature or player."
This... too busy. The damage is awkward because it needs a source and making the emblem the source is strange, so it just comes off as odd when properly done. To me anyway. I'd simplify it, which will help cut down on the verbosity some. Frankly, I'd replace the counters with +1/+0 and haste until end of turn, and make the scry 2, then do away with the damage. Maybe a bit more usable?

>>49980728
I think you can make this cost 0

>>49980753
Storm says probably not.

>>49980761
Storm isn't going to care about it.

>>49980795
Are you sure it doesn't care about free spell count? I dunno. I'm just leery of free things with no strings attached.

>>49980806
As much as storm likes storm count, it likes cards that actually do something more.

>>49980795
>>49980806
Actually, you might be right, it's no worse than Memnite or anything else that's free and sorcery speed.

>>49980806

>>49980827
Whoa, did you design this? It's super solidly thought out. Like a land within an artifact. I could totally see this being printed in the next set.

>>49980740
OH woops forgot to fix his name haha.

His +1 is comparable to Tezzeret Agent of Bolas', only he allows you to cast more of them but doesn't get to dig as deep nor store a card to cast later, so I thought having to exile them or discard them permanently was too much of a downside.

I copied the text for his -2 right off the MT card.

His final I'm tossing up several suggestions, thank you for yours

>>49980856
>+1
I figured you were going for some impulse thing; misread what you were trying to do. I think the wording is still a bit off, but more power to you.

>-2
The issue is exactly what I stated: you copied part of a cost into an ability. The way it resolves is different, so you need to account for that. MT forces you to bounce. The -2 does not, since it's not a cost. Just pointing that out. You even left in the colon from the cost.

Also how is this card representative of his lore? You said he likes to open inns on planes as "neutral ground" for other PWs. I don't really get that from him. He just seems like a generic artificer, as >>49980703 points out.

he likes to collect robots and recipes to use for his various inns. +1 is meant to be him looking for useful artifacts

-2 was him trading an artifact for something better (as a business man)

-7 is still up in the air now

>>49981102
Return an artifact you control to its owner's hand. If you do, put an artifact card from your hand onto the battlefield.

>>49981102
Honestly you can probably just remove the colon. You don't have a "may" in there so as far as I can tell, you don't need the "if you do" clause after all. I'm also tired, so maybe reviewing cards isn't the best idea right now.

Needs an "until end of turn" clause on the ult for the +1/+1 and haste, but other than that, a bit better overall. Don't need the brackets in the +1 ability either. Also, last nitpick: "hand" should have a period after it in the +2, then start a new sentence with "if"

>>49981207
Exile the top three cards of your library. You may cast artifact cards exiled this way until end of turn.

Return an artifact you control to its owner's hand. If you do, you may put an artifact card from your hand onto the battlefield.

You get an emblem with "Whenever an artifact enters the battlefield, creatures you control get +1/+1 and gain haste until end of turn. Scry 2."

Just make each side of the split card create tokens. Every split card printed so far is a sorcery or an instant, and some create tokens which is as close as you're gonna get to a split card that's a creature. Alternative options include making it a regular bear with kicker 1G to create another bear token, which is going to be the exact same thing 90 percent of the time.

>>49981283

Been trying to make essentially a Mindslaver on a stick. Idea is you can gain control of a player it deals combat damage to. Probably requires a cost and sac or exile to prevent abuse. But how do I make it without just making it a worse version of Mndslaver?

>>49984026

No? As Crew doesn't equip squat. They are just tapping to grant the vehicle the ability to be a creature.

>>49984632
Mindslaver is too damn good. I suggest you to use the new template from the new emrakul instead.

>on a stick
As an equip or a something akin to a magus ? In both options I would make it exile itself to use its effect.

>>49983824
>Avatar
Feels odd for White to count creatures you don't control. Unsure of cost though. This P/T effect is pretty pricy by itself, without these three keywords.

>Cal to Arms

>Eraho
I feel like it would be better if you took off Indie. Also unsure about being able to nuke anything.

Surprised he doesn't specifically buff Sokdiers. Unsure of having two anthems around.

>Knight
I guess it's OK, though I'm not a fan of colors matter.

>Monk
Same as before. Though I think the drawback should either be "attacking or blocking" OR "black or red" not both.

>Peacekeeper's Charm
Not a fan. I'd like it more if it could be removed by any player, but either that player gets a downside, or everyone else gets an upside. Like
>When a player attacks with one or more creatures, each other player creates two 1/1 white Soldier creature tokens with horsemanship. Sacrifice ~.
Oh yeah, tokens a created now.

>Retaliation
Seems good.

>Royal Decree
I like the effect. Not sure that I like giving the upside to one opponent and killing another opponent's creature, but I don't think there's a way around that.

>>49986221
Cards are nontoken by definition. Also, if you own it, its going to your graveyard, so you can write it as
>Whenever another permanent card is put into your graveyard from anywhere, create a token that's a copy of that card.
>Whenever an instant or sorcery card is put into your graveyard from anywhere, copy that card. You may cast the copy without paying its mana cost.
Also the amount of value this gives is insane. Sure, you lose black self-mill effects, but it doubles all your permanents when they die (including fetches!), doubles all your instants and sorceries, and lets you cast things for free when you mill or discard them.

Mental Note becomes "You may play the top four cards of your library without paying their mana costs. Draw two." for U.

I did ask how to make this without making it a worse version of Mindslaver. If this is just going to make a functional reprint, I'd rather just not make it at all.

So, how would you price both the mana cost for the card and the mana cost for the combat damage trigger if it uses Emrakul's version?

>I would go with indestructible since Regenerate is dead! Long live Indestructible!
Neither Regen nor Indestructible really work for this guy. Which is why I asked about Hexproof and Pro Creatures.

Good idea.

>I prefer the usage of any number when more two, yet exhaustive writing the number of possibilities still widely common.

In the end, both are protection.

Black only get protection from its enemy colors, or the "iconic" creature type of those colors.

Black only has protection in regenerate or indestructible, if you really do not want them, add blue and/or white.

>So, how would you price both the mana cost for the card and the mana cost for the combat damage trigger if it uses Emrakul's version?

>pure black
For the casting cost I would make it something around 4B, and 2B for the ability.

>W or U
For the casting cost I would make it something around 3(W/U)B, and 1(W/U)B for the ability.
To be honest I would do it completely different. I would make it like a looter-ish type of creature, that instead of drawing cards it gets charge counters, remove 3 counters, sac it and you control target player.
