I promised these last night. Sorry, guy who posted and got ignored right before the thread died, that was meant as more of a teaser and I forgot to post these until just now.

For posterity:
WU is based around artifacts
UB is Gonti meets Bane Alley Broker meets Pyxis of Pandemonium
BR is an aggressive demon that won't stay dead
RG is fight club on an elf body
GW is the equivalent of tending to bonsai trees in order to perform arcane rituals
WB is a vaguely Theros-themed sack-for-value engine
UR is a goblin with experience handling dangerous chemicals and magical reagents
BG is an artifact-hating plant zombie with +1/+1 counter interactions
RW is an aggressive body that makes more aggressive bodies
UG is a Frog Boar, and also a biomancer's best friend

Haven't really done Raven much before. She's magic, so her skillset is of course incredibly vague. So she gets a repeatable Recoil, essentially. Thoughts, opinions?

>>51224462
I will give you feedback for all the, but it will be quite a while until I'm able to, sorry. From what I can see right now, some of them are definitely better than others. For example, an ETB trigger for Lieutenant seems ridiculous to me, since it'll pretty much only work if you cast the card after you've already cast your Commander, and I really don't want to hold onto something like Animated Fungus just so I can destroy one more artifact.

Oh fuck, she's disgustingly good. So I play her in Grixis and just make you discard a card for every one mana spell I play? And she can't be targeted? So for the rest of the game you don't get to play, period?

Deadshot. He's very good with guns. Basically his only power. So, I wanted to do something with pinging, specifically, very cheap pinging, since I think that gets across his flavor of putting lots of bullets in people. Of course, I don't want it to be broken, so this version uses aim counters. Since he's a mercenary in the lore, I was thinking of doing some political stuff with him, but I think first I want to make sure the base concept is good.

>>51224709
>Raven
Not quite how she's supposed to work, though I only noticed the problem after I posted it (of course). Discard is really only supposed to trigger if something gets bounced, so I'll have to change that. Actually, now I'm wondering if it should have a nontoken restriction as well. As for Hexproof, I threw that in because I didn't think the card was good enough because I'm shit at balance. Probably just going to remove that entirely. Thanks a bunch for your feedback.

Yes, I am. Thanks again for the feedback, CO-anon senpai. You the real MVP.

>>51224592
Animated Fungus is more or less intended to be a +1/+1 matters conditional card- BG, or at least Green, has been caring a lot about who has counters and who doesn't. As garbage as it is to say "good in the right decks", it's designed to be a low-cost card valuable at any point in the game.

Casting it early can counteract other early artifacts or create deterrence, and casting it after your commander gives you more utility.

Honestly looking at it, it should probably be two +1/+1s on entry and an extra one each upkeep/end as long as the commander is out, though.

>>51225364
Uh, yeah. But I think it's at least a little different from
>T: Destroy target creature.

>>51225416
Aw, thanks. I just try to help any way I can. And I will look through the updated set later, but is there anything in particular you want feedback on?

>>51225464

>>51224462
Fire impression is that there's way too much text.

>WU
"converted mana cost 4 or greater"
Interesting, but there's nothing white about it.

>UB
Just save lines and exile them face up.
MTG doesn't use the singular "their".

>BR
Way too strong/cheap on the creature part. It may be interesting instead if the Lieutenant ability was a way to avoid a downside, rather than an additional bonus.

>RG
Tame. Functional.

>GW
You are trying to jam too much on one card.
"At the beginning of your upkeep, if you control your command"
"The next spell you cast this turn has convoke"

>WB
"Whenever you sacrifice a creature, if you control your commander..."
Flicker and indestructible have some degree of redundancy and just seeks to add more text to the card.

>UR
"instant and sorcery spells you cast cost"
It does some interesting things in a very convoluted way. It might as well be an enchantment because it's creature status is negligible.

>BG
Combine the first two abilities.
If you don't have lieutenant, it's very anemic. And if you do, it's nothing special. Also, nothing black about it.

>RW
"when etb, if commander, effect"
Good without Lieutenant. Extremely efficient with. But in the grand scheme. not that great given the format.

>GU
The Lieutenant ability double depends on having your commander out. This would be a decent regular card, but it's a poor implementation of lieutenant.

>>51226245

Clayface. One of the versions before this one, that I had for a while, exiled creatures instead of killing them, then could become a copy of the exiled creature. This version skips that step entirely, allowing it to copy any creature on the battlefield or any creature card in a graveyard.

>>51232203
>Well its colorless, but yes.
True, I didn't consider that. But in that case, I'd rather it use counters like DR, but it can still only make C.

Quicksilver Gargantuan meets Shapesharer, sure. This certainly seems like a cleaner way to do it than you were (apparently) doing it before. Clones that don't catch ETB effects always feel a little disappointing, but I suppose that's the EDH player in me. There's value in turning yourself into a fat Eldrazi or something at Instant speed, for sure.

To be fair, any strategy that requires devoting resources to a delicate permanent (i.e. 90% of all permanents) is liable to get ruined by well-timed removal. But things like Auras or Freefall are more liable than most.

And speaking of clones, here's this thing, which used to be a clone before. The idea is that he's a ghost, obviously, and he possesses people.

I'm going to attempt to contribute more to the thread, so I'm going to add my criticism on top of and in response to CO-anon's criticism.

>CM02
I am not actually sure this should be a 4/4. Vigilance and Menace is a strong combination. I'm thinking 3/4, but it completely depends on how many things this can kill/bounce off of in your set. I'd say if it can kill more than a third of all other creatures in pure combat it would be fine, but any amount significantly more than that and it should be nerfed just a little bit.

>CM03
Exile at common is really strong, especially if you're using unearth as a faction mechanic. I'd recommend having a way to deal with enchantments with an upside in that faction for flavor purposes myself.

>CM07
The best way to think of this is as an Explosive Vegetation at common for three. It's a little too good at common as is, IMO. Maybe just add a mana at upkeep that doesn't empty until end of turn? Maybe just the precombat main phase?

>CM08
I was the guy who said that Plenitude felt samey with Urban Evolution. What about if you have pinnacle online, you can go get a basic land?

>CM12
What about if it went three deep with the exile and let you put one of those cards into your hand?

>CM15
I also feel like this is a little weak. What if you made it "unless that creature's controller pays X life?"

>CM17
This would be fine at 5cmc on the front end, especially with the life payment. Maybe add 2 or 3 to its butt though.

>CM20
There was a really good discussion in one of these threads as to why deathtouch auras don't exist/are really rare. The interaction with trample and first/doublestrike is just way too fucking strong. There are only 10 cards in existence that even reference First strike and Deathtouch on the same card. There are only 3 that reference Deathtouch and Trample that aren't planewalkers. The price is right, but the buff is too much.

>>51239253
>deathtouch auras
It's not so much that they don't or can't exist, just that the interaction they provide with other mechanics is likely the reason Wizards hasn't made many of them. I specifically brought up pinging in that discussion. But I think it's something like land destruction, in that Wizards will print cards for it, but they try to restrict the cost so it's not cheap and abusable.

Oh fuck I don't know what to do with this. I really need help with this, because this card has been kicking my ass for a while. Colin Wilkes, Abuse. He's a seemingly regular kid who can morph his body into a much, much stronger form. Anyone familiar with Bane? He basically turns into Bane. Now, I was using DFC for a while now to show how he transforms, but I just kept feeling like it was restricting and cumbersome, so I just removed it entirely. But now I still don't know where to go. Obviously he should buff himself, but I can't think of a way to do it that's interesting for a legend. Any and all feedback appreciated. Oh yeah, and sorry about the art. He hasn't really shown up a lot so it's going to be hard to get good art of him.

Maybe just let him flip whenever at the cost of a venom counter, and the reverse side prevents damage with the venom counters? Then balance it around getting the venom counters, I'd say.

Fucking hell, you sound like me at times. Well, I guess in the end, it all comes down to one question: Do you enjoy making cards? If no, then you probably made the right decision, so you can invest your efforts into something you really enjoy. But if the answer is yes, I think you should go back to it, regardless of how the cards actually turn out, if you really enjoy it. Because yeah, like I said, I've had those exact same thoughts. But I realized that making cards is something I love doing, so I'm still here. Sometimes I'm disappointed in how my cards turn out, sometimes I feel like the threads would be better off without me. But making cards is something I really like doing, so I plan to keep doing it, even if it gets to the point I don't even post here.

>>51241406
>But I think it's something like land destruction, in that Wizards will print cards for it, but they try to restrict the cost so it's not cheap and abusable.
But Basilisk Collar, Gorgon Flail, and Gorgon's Head are all fairly cheap and "abusable" (Equipment far more so than any Aura with the same effect), although each has only received one printing.

>>51245882
I think it's more that deathtouch tends to be a one and done sort of effect. It's most often used to trade with a higher value card, so you don't get a lot of long term use out of it.

>>51245882
True, but notice how even the cheapest, in order to cast them and attach them to just one creature, costs three mana, same as the auras (except for color, obviously). And then an extra two mana to move them around.

But I think >>51245909 makes a very good point.

>>51245085

They could still buff like that, but it really comes down to how cheap you want the become counters to be, imo senpai.

>>51246039
Hmm, might as well just use +1/+1 counters then.

>>51245998
Hmm, might be too repeatable, which was a problem with Retrace. Needing to cast another card definitely helps though.

>>51246203
My short experience is that the actual subreddit is slow and/or a crapshoot (quality-wise), and the Discord is heavily, heavily skewed towards full set design, as well as a few other projects like custom constructed and whatnot. While /ccg/s "culture" tends to be fairly scattershot (I post a card, you post a card, we swap feedback once, discussion moves on), the Discord tends to be a bit more workshoppy when a card or mechanic gets posted there.

Nemesis. Last version had FStrike and Hexproof, and it needed you to pay 1UB on combat damage as well as exiling it to get the effect. An anon pointed out if it lost its protection, I could cost it more aggressively. So I guess now I just need to nail the cost. Oh yeah, and it used to be 3UB.

Ugh, I hate magic characters. This stemmed from an expansion of Venser, Shaper Savant's ability. I have to admit that I actually kinda like the ability, but I'm not even sure I'll keep it on this character, or even in the CO set of cards.

>>51249096
The ability is really shoehorned onto a creature, and would feel a lot better as an instant. It's also very flexible and incredibly efficient at 3 mana. Vindicate is a very good card, and this is leagues better than it.

Well, this is the guy I was initially designing for anyway. Again, I hate magical characters because their powers are always vague as fuck. But with this one, I wanted something that could combine White's ability to make spells cost more and Blue's ability to make spells cost less. But this is just the first draft, and I realize I'm definitely going to have to come up with something more interesting.

Wait, is the first set finished? I mean, besides art. I put it into the Pastebin as in progress, tell me if I should move it to complete.

>>51257587

Well, it's about as finished as I can make it right now. There are a few cards that I really want to change, but I don't have an idea as to how at the moment, so I'm moving on to prevent a roadblock in design. Art is going to be ongoing process between both sets, so there's no sense in not continuing on there. Finally, I don't feel comfortable making any more huge sweeping changes until I get a chance to actually test the set a few times.

So, short answer no, it's still WIP, but long answer is ...kinda? Just leave it there for now. It will be a little while still until its fully complete.

Aquaman. Nothing changed from last time. This card is supposed to focus more on his role as king of Atlantis than manipulating marine life. Though I did make a card to represent that, and it's basically just a long list of animals that live in the sea that Magic has types for.

>>51259039
>I'd ditch the ice counters and tack "it doesn't untap during..." to the first ability.
Actually I'm thinking of a new version. Whenever you cast an I/S spell, you can pay UB to tapdown a creature or to destroy a tapped creature.

>Zero is even, so this blows up lands, too. Don't know if that's intentional.
It says "nonland permanents"

>Terra
I decided to change the ability to an activated ability that requires you to return a land you control to its owner's hand. I figured it would help enable the second ability if you had trouble drawing lands. But I would like to keep Flying if possible.

>Chalam of the Dusk
Why Chalam? I Googled it, and all I could find were mentions of a writer and an actor. Anyway, the card works, though I really wish Wizards would find a better replacement for Regen. But I think I'd place it at uncommon.

You don't need to capitalise card types. Effects like Dark Pact are usually worded "You draw a card and you lose 1 life."
Witching Hour is probably the strongest of the bunch, and Blessing of Might is the weakest. Not sure about Inscribe as a mechanic - it's the kind of thing you'd need to play with to judge the power.

I always had the feeling that Merfolk should be Blue, which just bogged down the card. Still kicking myself for not realizing how making a new tribe would fix that until an anon pointed it out.

>Also, I'd kind of like to see the other version. Whale-Crab-Eel tribal sounds fun.
Attached. Please let me know if you have any suggestions about mechanics and/or flavor. Note that I didn't include some aquatic creature types that are present in Magic, like Cephalid, because those refer to things exclusive to Magic, and I just feel like it would be a bit weird if I had a card that is supposed to more or less represent DC comics to have that in it.

>Necrosurge
Seems fine to me.

Oh god, I remember this retarded conversation. Look, you're being really pedantic with this. If those cards didn't have Strive or Escalate, they wouldn't use the "choose any" or "choose one or more" wordings, they would be restricted so they only allowed for one target/mode. The only reason those cards use those wordings is to allow those mechanics to work properly. You're really focusing more on the "letter" than the "spirit" of what drawbacks are.

>>51264097
And any card with echo would cost more if it didn't have echo.

What the fuck is the "spirit" of drawbacks? Echo splits the cost of a card over two turns but the only way to mechanically represent that is for it to be worded like a drawback. Are you saying that echo isn't a drawback mechanic either? Because then you'd be contradicting what the designers of the game consider a drawback.

>>51264163
What the fuck are you on about? This is like saying Defender or Legendary are upsides because they reduce the cost of a creature. No, I'm so not having this conversation. Pull your head out of your ass and post cards, provide feedback, or leave.

>Whenever an opponent attacks with one or more creatures, detain target attacking creature.
This won't stop attacking since the creature has already started, unless there's an extra combat phase for that player, but it will prevent blocking and activating abilities of the creature until your next turn. Honestly doesn't seem very useful.

If it's a Spellshaper, the ability should tap, and follow the effect of a real, printed card. Really shouldn't be a Spellshaper because of how detrimental tapping is to something that so obviously wants to attack. Also, I don't see any reason to mention Regen since the keyword is dead.

>>51274533
Ugh, seems crazy expensive. Paying half your life total seems really steep. Also, it doesn't really feel like something that belongs in those colors either. I mean, I get that it says white or black creature card, but still creature tutor strikes me as being far more Green than WB. Maybe WG? But if you wanted to keep it in WB, I think you should drop the half your life total cost, and change the effect to instead recur a permanent card from your graveyard.

>Honestly, I don't trust Wizards to actually stick with their new "temporary indestructibility".
Why not? They've been talking about how they weren't happy with it for years now. Personally, I hope they come up with a better replacement that gets across the same flavor as Regen. Indie just doesn't have the same flavor, I think.

Well, no offense, but it seems kinda odd to me that you like Spellshapers but didn't know that about them. Anyway, here's a bunch of Spellshapers from the Time Spiral block. I'm pretty sure a few of these actually stray from the "real, printed card" thing, due to things like colorshifting that was used in Planar Chaos. Of course, not that these aren't the only Spellshapers out there, there are a ton more.

Oh yeah, and note how the cycle on the last row reference printed creatures, while the vast majority of Spellshapers reference instant/sorcery cards.

I doubt they're happy with Indestructible, and I know I'm not happy with it, so until they get a good flavor fit with something else, I'm not buying it.

What I meant by permanent/nonpermanent is that if a permanent tried dealing damage to Shiva, Shiva would destroy the permanent, but if a nonpermanent tried dealing damage to Shiva, Shiva would smack its controller.

Ash Barrens would be the best. Early game you can cycle it for what you need, late game comes in untapped. 8/10 would play.

V1 is the next best. The Dual coloured cycling stops it from being a dead draw later. 5/10 would play if I didn't want to buy 20 dollar lands.

>A vampire must protect and sustain (you know, drinking blood, avoiding the sun, etc.) itself so long as it does not violate the First and Second Laws.
It was a New 52 (blerg) relaunch/remake of a much older series titled "I... Vampire". It was about an ancient vampire stopping Mary, who was actually a sire and lover of his but just snapped and decided to wipe out humanity. Never really made sense in a world populated by heroes, because it never seemed like any of the vampires were ever really subtle. I dunno, I guess it's like in DMC where there are demon attacks in broad daylight but actual knowledge of their existence is rare.

>Mary
Hmm, I really like the idea of DStriking tokens. I guess I'll save it for something else. What would you say about the card if I just removed DStrike?

>Triplicate
Effect seems cool, though I'd definitely either raise the cost or restrict it to a creature you control. As for the added ability, it should say "this creature" or "this permanent" and I would recommend only exiling when the original leaves the battlefield. Er, but then you'd have to restrict it to targeting a nontoken creature and then saying "When a nontoken permanent with the same name as this permanent leaves the battlefield, exile this permanent." I dunno, it just feels weird that when one token leaves the battlefield, you lose the other as well.

Not him, but doing a quick Oracle search gets 153 cards with "cycling" in the text, and 99 have "cycling 2" in the text, so I think he has a approximate idea of how to cost them. Also, the first one is a reprint.

Well, technically, I searched "cycling {2}" but I think you get what I meant by that.

I'm working on a third filler mechanic like fabricate that helps with spells.

>>51292085

Artificer could work but they'd need some way of interacting with artifacts as artifacts are a bit limited in my set at common.

Maybe creating artifact tokens or equipment tokens.

See, this is what I mean. You didn't say Transform was in your mechanics. Anyway, Druids could work with DFC, though you don't need to use it. I need more information, what do you plan on doing with them?

>>51296671
Jesus, I can't begin to tell you how much of a headache this mechanic is. Anyway, this really fucks the pie, since, as much as people like to complain about Blue, it really doesn't have much hard removal outside of counterspells. This mechanic, especially if it were on an enchantment and gave it to spells you cast or something, would just brutalize Blue, since it would mean that the other colors would, in effect, have their own versions of counterspells.

>>51296956
Sure, but they would never ever be as versatile as a counterspell, and mostly overpriced. And it wouldn't always " destroy " something. That's just a baseline example with a classic black destroy effect.

Sure, it's annoying, and it can be excessively good in the right situation, but that's more situational than the classical set of counterspells blue has. So yeah, the aim is not beating blue at counterspelling, it's presenting a way for other colors to have way worse "counterspells " but for precise things.

Unattached permanents is a solid 100% of the board in most games.
