>Rise from Your Grave Edition!
Gladly.

Is it too good to have it recur untapped?

>>50111084
I'd restrict it to sorcery speed, so it's not impossible to attack into.

>>50111091
You want it sorcery speed so it can't be a surprise blocker, is that what you're saying?

>>50111091
Agreed on this. Has a bit of a Vraska feel with the assassin tokens. It's oddly defensive for a black card though, all told. I don't see much merit in swinging with it pretty much at all, but I suppose there are two types of deathtouch creatures: ones that use it as punishment for trying to stop their "real" effect, or simply defensive removal.

>>50111113
Basically. Because it makes tokens, entering tapped wouldn't make a huge amount of difference.

>>50111119
>>50111121
Hmm. I'll probably have it and the tokens ETB tapped then, and remove Haste.

>>50111140
Should at least be
>Dragon permanent card in a graveyard
thanks to Tribal. Or just be direct and specify creature.

>>50111158
I think the last line could just be
>Then, return the Aura or Equipment card to the battlefield attached to that token.

Anything trying to do something illegal would just result in the Aura or Equipment staying in the graveyard.

>>50111224
I"ll need some precedence or rules text on the Equipment side, since I'm under the impression that if it tried to attach to the token but couldn't, it would return as en unattached Equipment.

But for now, I'm going to bed. Good night everyone.

>>50111233
I don't think that'd be a big issue as I can't think of many situations where an equipment wouldn't be able to legally attach to the token.

>>50111140
Yeah, "Dragon creature card" would work as a safer wording here. I like it though; never considered that combination of creature types. I think the cost is fine, though the base creature being on-curve already might be a bit much. I get that you want it to be usable otherwise, but maybe 4/3 or 3/4 or something?

>>50111113
I don't know if you need the then here since anthems are always "checking". Unless it's because you don't want an opponent to be able to respond to it?

>>50111158
does this need the "if it could be attached" thing? I mean there are Curses and whatnot that can't attach to them obviously, but I am not sure a card can cause an illegal operation. I guess it's alright for clarity/newbie sake. It's not like the card is super wordy. 3/3 vigilance tokens are pretty strong. This will likely trigger off Auras way more often than it will Equipment, but that's the nature of Auras I guess. Pretty funny with Totem Armor. I think the costing is okay.

Fug, forgot to post my cards.

Black commons up for critique/mockery/tearing apart.

>>50111259
It's not an anthem, it's part of the triggered ability

>>50111276
Yeah I missed that "until end of turn" thing, though it could also just be "Attacking creatures you control get +1/+1 for each +1/+1 counter on ~." Or not, I dunno, kinda tired.

>>50111267
Mixing mono-hybrid and regular mana costs like that looks really messy and doesn't seem interesting to play with.

>>50111267
>CB02
When target creature dies this turn..

>CB05
Not sure about this at common, too many and you can get them all recurring off each other.

>CB09
I'd prefer card advantage in black, rather than looting.

>CB13
This mostly ends up as a worse contaminated
bond

>CB14
I'd be very wary of granting elusive alongside a p/t boost.

You also have a fair chunk of removal at common, although that's not necessarily a bad thing.

>>50111306
Everything I've seen that puts a counter and then has an effect that counts them uses 'Then'

>>50111340
How so? Set's going to be about 20% gold cards if that matters to you, with shard support. What sort of monohybrid costing do you prefer to see?

>>50111389
>CB02
I should have caught this. Derp. Thanks.

>CB05
That's a lot of mana to be dropping on a bunch of 1/1s, but I see your point as well. I'll consider dumping it to uncommon.

>CB09
That's also fair. I like the idea of the spell, but it needs work. Part of the reason I tossed it up as-is. I really need to post something about my thoughts on the cards when I toss them up; I did it for white and blue, why did I drop the ball here?

>CB13
I was loathe to cost it at B. Thoughts on fixing it up?

>CB14
I had worried about that, but doing a card for UB that fits with the other Auras in the cycle has been kind of a bitch. The blue one grants flying and nobody protested, but I guess under the right circumstances Elusive is better than flying because it doesn't have a Reach, so to speak.

>removal
Black always seems heavier on removal and a bit lighter on creatures to me, but I could be missing some modern design cues. I should probably do some more reading just in case.

>>50111393
Hokay.

>>50111419
Ojutai indestructible? Sure, why not.

>>50111541
Kaladesh has three removal at common and one of those is fairly minor. It's not a problem, just something I'd thought I'd mention.

>>50111584
Hm, well my set is a touch smaller (230 cards opposed to 260+) so I'll try to keep that in mind when I'm doing stuff at higher rarities. I might just pluck something and redo it at uncommon if I need to. Thanks though; if I could do all this myself I wouldn't bother posting. I appreciate it.

>>50111654
This is a really weird and somewhat confusing card for such a simple effect.

>>50111675
I'm not particularly please with it either, but I like the ashling effect so I tend to throw it on things if I think I can get away with it.

>>50111654
I feel like this wants to be WB. Also, you need to decide if it's charge counters or soul counters.

>>50111707
Black can get indestructible just fine if that was the issue. Thanks for the counter catch though.

>>50111711
Intimidate is dead in favor of Menace, if that matters to you.

The card plays oddly. I'm not sure it can die unless you deal 6+ damage to it, so for the cost, it's extremely powerful.

>>50111719
I know it can. It was more of a "feel" thing. It's your card though. I just look at it and expect a WB card.

>>50111711
Whenever ~ deals or is dealt damage, put a <name> counter on it. You may transform ~.

Lifelink, intimidate
Whenever ~ deals damage, remove a <name> counter from it. Then if ~ has no <name> counters on it, transform ~.

>>50111726
It's a trigger, it dies before it can transform.

>>50113187
Left. Didn't you ask this question in the last thread? Eh, I'm not really one to talk, I like making sure a card gets positive feedback several times before I finalize it.

So, are you making a set or something? I feel like it's been a while since I've seen you around.

>>50111752
Transformation can work at any speed, it just depends on the ability it's attached to.

>Occultist
First, you're not using the new card frame, which isn't bad, but considering that you also didn't have the DFC frame, it looks like you need to upgrade your version of MSE. I'll help you, but before I can, quick question, did you install MSE in one of your Program Files folders?

Second, I feel like this needs a second subtype, like Wizard.

Third, you need a comma between mana symbols and tap symbols in activated abilities. For future reference, the order and templating for activated abilities it
>[mana cost], T, [others costs]: [ability]
Of course if it's just one of those things, you don't use commas.

Fuck, who are you again? The anon formerly known as Savage anon?

>CB01
Kinda weird to see a Spider without reach, but it's up to you in the end, and it's not a dealbreaker.

>CB02
Should it be something like
>Choose target creature. When that creature dies this turn, its controller loses 1 life.
Also, feels awkward and clunky. I feel like it might as well just have
>Target player loses 1 life.

>CB03
Uh... huh, no idea about this one. Probably fine though.

>CB04
Cool.

>CB05
Because I'm a fan of Black Exalted, I immediately recognized the art. Duty-Bound Dead. I'm not really feeling the ability here, I guess I just don't like how it comes back attacking. Huh, and now that I'm actually looking up cards, it seems like Wizards really doesn't like things going from the graveyard to the battlefield at common. This'll probably have to be uncommon material at least.

>CB06
Eh... man, I do hate seeing 3/2's for 2B, and then this also has a downside. Though having it for BB seems nice. Although... well, looks like precedent has stepped in again. It looks like in mono-color, only G gets to be this efficient with creatures. Again, it's up to you what to do. Maybe not being able to block can justify the cost, I dunno.

>CB07
Huh. Eh, seems fine I think.

>CB06
Eh... not really sure how to feel about this one. Feels kinda complex I guess. Maybe just Bolt a creature and get 2 life, and if the creature dies this turn, maybe then get a counter? I dunno, that might be too complex too.

>CB09
Weird. What made you come up with this?

>CB10
Seems odd for B to be reactive like this, that's usually more W's thing.

>CB11
Dunno. If it feel like I'm not being very useful when it comes to your hybrid cards, it's just because I'm not a big fan of strictly better cards, I like them to be at least a bit different, but that's my preference, you do whatever.

1/2

Flavor text seems off. As for the card itself, I think this might deserve to be the 5-cost B common creature removal card of this set.

>CB13
You didn't template this properly. Pic related. That said, I think it would be easier to just say
>Whenever enchanted creature attacks or blocks, its controller loses 3 life unless he or she discards a card at random.
Unsure about cost though. Something tells me it should be more expensive. Could be wrong though.

>CB14
Why discard? I think paying the U should at least net the creature one-turn Curiosity. At this point, you might as well make it a cantrip if U was spent.

>CB15
Huh. Well... Eh, I dunno.

2/2

Red instant that gives all creatures under your control double strike until end of turn.

How would you cost it?

Probably just R more than a sorcery that does the same thing.

>>50113761
Thanks

Are there any rules for how such a thing is madness costed?

>>50113826
Not really, at least as far as I know. Though speaking generally, the Madness cost and mana cost will be different, and the Madness cost will be lower than the mana cost. But again, that's only generally, there are plenty of exceptions.

>>50113409
>>50113372
Yeah I asked this in the last thread but I only got one reply so I wanted some more feedback. I've decided to go with the flash one.
Yeah I'm making a set but progress is very slow since I don't have much downtime.

>>50113927
Give us details. What's the set about? Return to Battle for Shadows over Alara?

>>50112690
You're right about odd. I don't even really know how to judge this. Personally, I think I would've tied the flavor to the Vamps turning what they kill into thralls or something. Like, take the classic Vamp ability, but tweaked so you get tokens instead of counters.

>>50114675
I like the idea, though making it mono-Green is kinda weird.

New version. Better body, no Haste, and it only makes one token and only on your upkeep. I actually never thought about using it defensively, but I actually kinda like the idea. Ra's definitely seems like the kind of guy who would just let his minions do all the work.

>>50118103
Pointing out your problems doesn't make them go away. This would create a land with the subtype Wastes with no abilities, other than being able to be turned face up through Terramorph.

Regardless, this doesn't seem to me like some huge leap from Morph. What's even the point of this really?

I'm a little worried about this. Am I putting too much power on one card? I may need to drop it to a 1/2.

>>50121894
it's fine. If you wanted to make it more aligned with modern power level it would be a 3/2.
Are you tryin to have this reflect the power level of older sets or simply the themes?

>>50121979
Ah, you probably didn't notice. It has islandwalk. That means that if an opponent has an island, they can't actually block it. Obviously, raising the power up to 3 would necessitate 1 or even 2 more mana in its cost.

I'm not trying to design a bomb here, just a nice mid-range card.

>>50121894
This wasn't funny the last time you posted this. Or the previous fifteen times.

>>50122038
I've posted it once before, months ago.

But if someone is actually reposting it, I feel a lot better about this joke.

>>50122010
Land walk is weaker then flying, so if a 2/2 for 3 with flying is fine a 3/2 for 4 with island should be fine.

>>50122109
It's not weaker than Flying, it's just far less predictable. Which is why Wizards killed it.

What color is this ?
White ?

>>50122418
I guess WB, since it uses a W requirement for a B effect. Remember, W kills things with high power, B kills things with low power.

>>50122418
W or B. It can B if it is a "wide board matters" set, or if it's a "Tap your shit bro" matters set. otherwise generally white.

>>50113706
>who are you?
Ellllllllllvis, mama. No but really, you got it. I finally got a symbol for the set, even if it's shit.

>CB01
I wanted something that made sense to be around people and castles, given the nature of the set, so I went with a Spider. I figured black getting a tiny one was fine if green gets a bigger one with Reach and all that.

>CB02
Fixed based on feedback.

>CB03
It's more of a flavor card than anything, I'll admit, but it also hates on white a little.

>CB04
Thanks.

>CB05
Ah, will swap it. Also will probably toss it into the Uncommon bin, since you're not the only one to point that out. Given the flavor of the set, I wanted to experiment with alternate "regen" substitutes, and figured a military-themed thing might ETB tapped and attacking to make it a bit riskier and limit when the trigger can happen to limit abuse. Missed the mark, I guess.

>CB06
I figured if red could have Boggart Brute, I could get away with this.

>CB09
Yeah I dunno what I did here. I was trying to make an alternate Sign in Blood that's easier to cast, but I made a shit sandwich instead. I'll scrap it and do something else.

>CB10
Well, it already gets -2/-2 for B at instant speed, so I figured slowing it down but making it potentially beefier would be okay, and again, a bit of thematics crept in.

>CB11
This is meant to fall solidly between Assassinate and Death Stroke. I figured that making it hybrid would be a cool way to do that.

>CB12
Yeah not happy with it. I could bump it to 4B. Sound good?

>CB13
Okay, I can do that. It's basically a different Contaminated Bond, as was mentioned. A bit worse, but I didn't want it at B, that's for sure.

>CB14
I'm getting mixed reactions on this, but I can redo the U bit and see where it stands when I post them again later on.

>CB15
It's good, but I don't think it's too good. Though, maybe I'm wrong. Nobody seems to have claimed it was glaringly overtuned or anything. I'll go back and look to be sure.

Thanks man.

>>50122418
Mostly white. A little black for the sole reason that it is able to kill tiny guys. But then again, Whaler's Shot told us that 3 power is big enough for white to kill.

>>50122452
Hm. I kinda like this. I feel like the drawback is at once not enough and just about right. Maybe if you also lost 1 life when it died? I dunno, I kinda don't want to ruin the simplicity of the card.

>>50122418
I'd make it black, personally (assuming monocolor). Black gets Convoke now, which this sort of is, and the potential for it to kill things under 3 power makes me think black is better for it if it has to be monocolored, but if you can do gold cards, WB is ideal. Neat card, by the way. Has a very "the Senate kills Julius Caesar" feel to it.

>>50119752
Considering you can get anything AND a 2/1 to boot with Eternal Witness, this seems expensive. However, I am not privy to the weird shit that you could do by forcing an opponent to reclaim a card, so maybe the cost is justified? It's also instant speed, which is another thing.

>>50119203
This feels a bit better, yeah. Ra's himself is a very able fighter, but would only ever meet someone in combat he sees as an equal. So sending lackeys to do his bidding seems pretty spot-on.

>>50117588
Seems pretty good. Decent combat trick, and with things like Totem Armor Auras, could potentially save a creature too.

>>50117575
Huh. Actually this is a pretty neat way to do this. Using that image makes me feel like it's a joke card, but really it could be quite good in draft or even Standard depending.

This may be one of my personal favorite designs I've ever made

>>50125422
Pretty cool. Spellweaver Volute but for creatures. Probably fine in G, though the copying kinda makes me knee-jerk for GU.

>>50125436
Hard to beat Sol Ring for ramp value, but the draw adds a nice capstone mechanic.

I got nothing to post because commons. Lots of commons. And the next batch ain't done yet.

>>50122452
This is probably too good for the cost and downside. For the most part, it's a Serendib Efreet with less downside. Black also has more than enough ways to kick it out of your graveyard once it's done its thing.

>>50125422
Wizards doesn't do this because it causes memory issues.

An easier way to do it is to exile the chosen creature card, then refer to that. And then it exiles the next and returns the first one like Mimic Vat. It just makes it much easier to track. Also, that is a blue ability.

>>50125436
Not really sure how I feel about this. I don't really understand the flavor, so it just kinda falls into "just value" card.

Still wouldn't be a common. A almost always 5/4 with trample for 4 seems really good. Even if it was a 3/4 with trample it would be an okay 4 drop at common.

Intimidate isn't really a thing anymore. I'd go with menace, instead. I also don't think that you should have to pay mana of the appropriate color - it should just shut down abilities in monowhite. Obviously, you'd have to rework the costing completely.

>>50132115
This is a cool idea. I'd put a "then" between "...exile it." and "Return target creature card..." Also, change "put" to "return", I think. Excellent execution.

I like this use of 2brid mana over what others have done recently. You can play it in a nonwhite deck, but white decks can use it at a discount. Mixing 2brid and regular mana is just an uninteresting design exercise in trying to reduce CMCs.

I disagree. Sometimes I have an idea and want to throw it out for debate and don't want to take the time to go dig for art. Or its an odd concept and so finding working art would take ages.

>Billy
OK, 2UR it is.

>slime
Yeah, that was the first thing I thought of as well. Permeating Mass? Anyway, I just said that because just casting spells is a lot easier than having it survive combat each turn. I mean, I am afraid that it could get rather degenerate. Like, there'd just be a point where anything that isn't a copy of it becomes one very quickly. I mean, if you have weaker creatures or tokens, you could willingly slime them just to get extra triggers. Not entirely sure how to go about limiting it though. Maybe something like "Cast an i/s with CMC greater than the number of +1/+1 counters on ~, it gets a counter and target creature becomes a copy of ~."

Eh, just brainstorming.

>card
Seems a lot cooler now. Though I think >>50136537 has a point. Hmm, maybe mythic too. Which isn't something I normally suggest, mind you. I don't like using mythic rarity as a sort of justification for how powerful a card is, but in this case...

>>50136596
Honestly, I would give it reminder text for DTouch, just to make sure people know what the combo does. Though the odds that Wizards would ever print something like this are pretty low. Maybe... maybe if it were modal and had Escalate, I dunno.

>>50136177
A vanilla 4/4 at turn one is still crazy good. Turn one options are much more limited in Sol Ring formats than turn two, and often don't require anything on turn one except for a Sol Ring.

How does it feel if it doesn't propagate? Sure, your opponents can't turn it back against you if they happen to have instants and sorceries, but you also can't get exponentially more triggers.

Specifying "non-Ooze" forces you to either run an Ooze deck or not cast I/S when you have other creatures out, or you might have to slime them too.

>>50136790
Amonkhet is looking really, really solid. I think this is going to be one of the most fun blocks as far as tournaments go. Tons of fun mechanics and some twists on older mechanics. Team matches are going to be really fun. Think Archenemy styles of games as well.

Welcome back? I honestly didn't notice you were missing. Though, I doubt anyone would notice if I went MIA either. Though /CO/anon did once, even though I was actually posting in that very thread. It was touching.

>>50137581
>>50137646
Also welcome back. Liking Evoke as your UR mechanic so far if CU01 is any indication of how you'll use it. Fade from View seems new? Basic combat trick cantrip; seems fine. Aside from the change to your hybrid costs (well-advised by the way) everything seems fairly similar to what I saw before in blue.

You know, as a setmaker (again, ugh), maybe we should post changelogs when we put up walls of cards so people know what we did? It can be hard to keep track of what's changed unless you have a really good memory or save collages and compare them on reposts, but who would actually do that? Just a thought. I suggested it to /CO/anon too, for his cards, since he goes through so many iterations I can't remember what numbers he's on per character.

For white, for Ambush, I am on the fence about cards like Tribal Iconoclast. I guess a 3/3 for 4 is pretty standard, but only getting anything out of it when you Ambush it feels... meh. I mean, maybe it's just me. I think maaaybe CW06 can be cheaper, now that it doesn't enable double strike so easily. I'd take Vigilance off the camels for simplicity and space's sake, but it's honestly fine this way too. I'd crop the flavor text if you keep it as such though.

>>50138708
Collars? Anyway you could also go Wolfir but I get that Werewolf is part of the joke and makes more sense overall. Card seems fine to me; would be great in certain draft environments. Feels a bit like a guildmage, and I like those AND spellshapers a lot.

>>50138389
This made me chuckle. It's hard to say how balanced it is because untap costs are inherently abusable, but as this is, I can't say I see much wrong with it. From what I know of the game, it's a great translation.

>>50139294
>no "Lesbians you control get +1/+1."
The funky goad/cower ability is... well, funky. It's a pure red ability though and so she could be monored if you wanted. U can also provoke/goad as well, if you still want a gold card out of her. Cost and body seems fine, I think. Sometimes it's hard to tell what the threshold is for additional "oomph" Legends are allowed compared to non-Legendary cards.

>>50139251
I like this, but since blue cares about debuffs based on power (-N/-0 effects), you could do it the other way too. And especially since 2/3s are becoming all the rage with WotC, it might not be a bad idea.

>>50138353
Gotta comment on this one too. Nice use of a Flashback card on a body as a guildmage Spellshaper. Along with that other guy's submission, these are my favorite cards I've seen today, though my one tiny quibble is that I didn't like Zombies in blue in Innistrad, but that doesn't stop me from recognizing a clever card.

>Though /CO/anon did once, even though I was actually posting in that very thread. It was touching.
Well I'm glad you liked it. But it was kinda hard to tell who you were then, especially as you didn't have a set symbol then. And I'm garbage at telling people apart here. If I just saw text from all the regulars, I'd only be able to tell which belonged to Kazy by the use of emotes. Hey, where has that guy gone anyway?

Yes. Should I change the flavor text?

>How do you cost colorless removal?
Check the Eldrazi-flavored colorless cards? I think they did some. An artifact could cost about the same.

>hard to tell who you were
I only use a set symbol on my cards when it's relevant because I believe they should stand on their own merits if they are one-offs, and it's useful to tell that they belong together if they are for a set. I have little interest in any kind of notoriety. Though I guess there's some modicum of "accountability" to symbol/name/tripgfagging because as an anon you don't have to be as careful about how or what you post, and that's not necessarily a bad thing. though it doesn't matter with me because I usually post with cards attached if I have anything to post in that regard and I own up to my fuckups 8/10 times anyway.

>collars
Implication is funnier.

>Batwoman
That's fair; I'll admit I didn't even parse it in Gatherer before I responded. I usually assume Legends can be as strong as rares, but only deserve to be Legends if they're the type of card you just can't allow a player to have two of.

>>50139552

Hmm. Usually Blue's Defenders that can still attack are bigger, but I guess it's OK.

Eh, I don't really like how the card's being Blue is pretty much arbitrary here. Maybe do something like in Ravnica, where it's mono-Blue with a Blue ETB effect but Green static or activated abilities, and it dies on entry unless you pay Green. Like Patagia Viper or something.

Neat Fatespinner take on types instead of phases/steps.

Hey, thanks for the feedback! Sandsweeper Spirit is completely new, replacing Exor's Bookkeeper. Mirage Weaver now has evoke. Winds of Passivity picked up the vacant Pinnacle slot left by Exor's Bookkeeper. Touch of the Duat had its cost altered and lost a cantrip; Fade from View had its cost altered and gained a cantrip. Monohybrid mana became 2/X across the board. Other than that, they're largely the same, and will stay that way as long as I feel they're in a good place design-wise and no one else has any strenuous objections.
>>50137941
And it's such good art too, what a shame. Fixed.
>>50140042
>Does it really need to be 4U? Not 3U?
In a vacuum, the evoke cost definitely doesn't need to be 4U and could be lowered. I costed it at 4U specifically to enable set mechanics.
>No flying?
Not all of the djinn/efreet have flying in the block, mainly because I worry either about giving specific designs evasion or about inundating the set with too many fliers. This was a decision made based on the latter worry, but I can revisit it once the other blue commons are finalized.
>Eh, I don't really like how the card's being Blue is pretty much arbitrary here.
I designed it similarly to Embodiment of Spring, which has a similarly "arbitrary" blue cost but only properly and fully functions with green mana. I don't like the Patagia Viper method because I feel that it penalizes players for not drafting a very particular way, and I want to push multicolor drafting without making it the mandatory decision (and therefore no decision at all).
>Mono-U hard counter with only one U in the cost?
I can make it conditional.
>Wait, why is it so expensive? Shouldn't this be, like 1U without hybrid?
Voidwalk has it at 3U with cipher. I took it down a rarity and nixed the extra ability, but moved it from sorcery to instant speed. 2UU seemed like a good place for it, comparatively.
>Does repeatable recursion like this exist at common?
Midnight Recovery, Necromantic Thirst

Cont.

>>50142263
>>50140042
>Jesus that seems like an enormous cost. Not even something like Lifelink?
It's huge, and can be convoked out in colors with token support. Convoke commons are generally overcosted from what I've seen.
>CW05
The idea is that, in order to get the full effect of the card, one needs to draft or build along its multicolored faction lines. However, not doing so will not preclude one from using the card (a pretty standard body for a white common), but rather limit its full potential. I want to encourage multicolor drafting without necessitating it.
>Really? No restriction, no drawback other than being expensive?
Nope. Why would it need one?
>Carol Danvers, Ms. Marvel
Clean design, I like it. Although the soldier subtype is a bit confusing, probably because I'm unfamiliar with the character.

Thanks for all of the feedback, /CO/anon.
>>50141850
It could, which is why I kept the total cost including the triggered ability under five mana. The threshold for the "mana you spent" effects in the block is generally at five, so hopefully keeping this below that line will prevent confusion even in players who confuse the casting cost with paying for the triggered ability.
>>50141878
>mixing convoke, 2brid mana and regular mana
>I'm not a fan
Could you elaborate?
>Also, the 2/4 deathtoucher is too bad even for a trash common.
It's comparable to other white commons of similar cost. What would you suggest?

>>50136937
Monastery Mentor already gets way out of control on its own. I don't think the color that pretty much only plays noncreature spells should get something like this.

>>50142778
OK, so, what do you think? Something like 3WU? Maybe throw G in there?

>>50142355
>Nope. Why would it need one?
Because that's how Wizards is doing W creature destruction now, more or less.

So, it can only hit creatures with three time counters on them already? No, I know what you're doing, but this is why I always recommend saying
>Exile target creature. Put three time counters on the exiled card. If it [...]
Or something similar. But yeah, also not sure on cost, sorry. It's really just a longer flicker though, and you don't want to use it on your stuff much, so it's less flexible.

I figured "Exile ____ with three time counters on it." was sufficient due to Delay and Epochrasite's wording, but they also don't feature a technical targeting clause, so I can understand the confusion. Fixed it to be more clear though.

Tomb got bumped up to 4.

Swamp Thing. I'm really sorry about this, but I honestly can't remember if I've ever gotten feedback for this design. If it's good, I'll chuck it into the finished folder and you guys will never see it again. Still have to design his daughter though.

>>50151472

Fuck. Well, one more for the bin.

>Gravebound
This seems like it could cause issues if people aren't super familiar with how exactly Persist works. It took me a while to remember that there's an Aura that gives out Undying which makes me thinks this works.

>>50150876
I think tomb is narrow enough to be 3. I think it could probably even be 2, going by grafdigger's cage. (Even if I think such a strong hate card is hilariously undercosted)
The card is basically about the same scope as containment priest.

>>50154732
Seems cool. Though it's really begging for another card for a pair, maybe an Elf, that deals with doubling +1/+1 counters.

>>50154760
Pretty sure it's a riff on Steamflogger Boss.

>>50155420

Hmm. I guess you couldn't just say "Destroy target nonvanilla creature."

>>50155535
"Destroy target creature with one or more abilities"?

>>50155670
This would probably be a keyword rather than an ability word, as I assume "reanimate" is always going to bring a creature from the graveyard to battlefield tapped no matter what the individual card is.

>>50152276
Something tells me you could just
>Sacrifice a land creature:
Leaves it open to other interactions that I don't think would be too super broken.

Pretty much what >>50158262 and >>50158272 said, they're just covering their asses. Imagine if some prick came along and tried to sue Wizards or get royalties or something because there's a Magic card Wizards made that's similar to this guy's card. Wizards would point out how they don't look at custom cards, so there's obviously no merit to any if it. And if it did turn out one guy did happen to get the idea by looking at /ccg/ or something, Wizards would say that one guy was acting independently and drop his ass on the spot. It would be kinda interesting to know what would happen if they did print a stolen design though and people knew about it. I imagine Wizards would sinply never print the card again.

Here are some quick card I made to break the ice and get my noodle going. Thoughts and critiques always welcomed.

>>50163282

First off, it's difficult to tell from your set symbol if some of those cards are common or uncommon. Have at least a couple wider lines for readability.

>Sanctify Armor
Decent, if aggressively costed. I probably can't get that value for 1WW in two cards, and I'd need to waste an extra card.

>Flashback Prodigy
Blue's pretty much always going to have cards ready for this. Make it +1/+1 and this is very competitive.

>Twisted Transformation
Nothing wrong with this, but... I feel like something else should happen to the creature.

>Flare Adept
Too much utility at that cost. Either make him 1R or make the ability cost RX.

>Wild Hunt
No problems here. Since Overgrowth isn't a keyword ability, you don't need the 4, you can just say Overgrowth -- effect text.

>Leyline Crystalith
No issues here. Nice art.

>>50164257
thanks for the feedback! Im glad none of these are glaringly terrible.

>Since Overgrowth isn't a keyword ability, you don't need the 4, you can just say Overgrowth -- effect text.
Thank you, im still learning the nuances of keywords so ill make this change.

>>Flare Adept
>Too much utility at that cost. Either make him 1R or make the ability cost RX.
First draft was actually changed to 1R, I suppose I'll change it back.

>>Twisted Transformation
>Nothing wrong with this, but... I feel like something else should happen to the creature.
Hm, maybe it can change type or get a counter. I'll think about it.

>>50163282
Let's talk wording and templating.

>Twisted Transmutation
Either
>As an additional cost to cast ~, sacrifice a land.
or
>You may sacrifice a land. If you do...
and then either
>Return target creature card from your graveyard to the battlefield tapped.
or
>Put target creature card from a graveyard onto the battlefield tapped.
You can only "return" things from your graveyard. Weird quirk of templating these effects.

>Flare Adept
>X, T, Reveal an instant or sorcery card from your hand with converted mana cost X: Flare Adept deals X damage to target creature or player.
The reveal should be part of the cost, because otherwise you could fail to reveal (because your hand is a hidden zone and you can fail to find a card with CMC X) and the rest of the effect would do its best to resolve.

>Wild Hunt
>Overgrowth -- If you control four or more lands, that creature gets an additional +1/+1 and gains reach until end of turn.
I assume you want the total effect to be +3/+3 and not +5/+5. Either way, you gain abilities temporarily. "Has"/"Have" is reserved for continuous effects.

>Leyline Crystalith
>T: Add X mana in any combination of colors to your mana pool, where X is the number of charge counters on ~.
Is how I'd do it, but there are many equivalent results here.

Don't know if it's ability to be hard removal if they don't have a lesser creature is to much.

>>50166114
Considering you can just straight stick a creature card on top of its owner's library for 3U as an instant, or 2U at sorcery speed with an upside at uncommon, I'd say it's fine as it is.

>>50148895
>Whenever ~ attacks and isn't blocked, you may have it assign no combat damage this turn. If you do, defending player sacrifices a land at random.
Read some fucking oracle text jesus christ

>>50166242
It does shuffle regardless if they search or not, so you think I should get rid of that?

>>50166262
Hm. Well you're not going to get someone who doesn't search unless you cast it on a CMC1 creature for some reason, so they'll always at least get something out of the deal, and they will opt for the search given the mandatory shuffle. So you can probably keep it. It can backfire hardcore on you too, depending. You might let them grab something they want more instead.

>>50166355
That was basically my only concern, whether the potential for them to end up with nothing was an acceptable break.

>>50166114
This is essentially a better polymorph as they don't have the chance of hitting something better. Though it is controlled in a way that they get something slightly worse than what they had on the field.
Should still be a sorcery, however.

>>50167525
Polymorph does have its uses for yourself as well, but sorcery is a fair call.

Blightmoth is essentially an Armored Transport as a vehicle and a safe place for your creatures.
Watcher in the Spire brings back an artifact when it dies.
Spire Titan for taking advantage of a ton of artifacts, especially in combat.
Spire Runner, similar to Ishkanah.
Stack Overflow to shrink a nonland permanent.
Serra's Gift is lifelink for artifacts when they block.
Low Gravity to force an opponent to skip their combat phase.

Utility seems a touch high since you can also untap things that didn't attack. Also, untapping creatures straight up with no tap utility is probably more green than white these days, though I suppose white and blue could do it too.

I'm not sure you can create copies of cards referencing other than themselves with an ability that's written in that way. At the very least, it's a bit clumsy or awkward if Border Wall gets destroyed while the ability is on the stack.

>Non-wall creatures you control have: "1W, T: Create a 0/2 Wall creature token with defender (named Border Wall.)

You don't need the name.


>>50169687
Also, a cumulative upkeep is a bit too much.

If you want the cost upped, you could make it

>Non-wall creatures you control have: "T: Create a 0/2 Wall creature token with defender (named Border Wall.) This ability costs [W] more to activate for each Wall you control.
