>>54304269
I have no real impetus to post because even when I give 4-5 blurbs of feedback per post, my shit gets ignored more often than not. Why bother putting in effort to be "the change" when most of the constructive, active and interactive posters are gone and what we mostly have now are single card spammers that post no feedback, and posters who only respond to feedback on their cards but give none in return. I'll post again when these threads aren't shit. Which I leave up to you all because I'm done trying to improve them. I have better things to do with my time than headbutt a wall.

Also that OP primer is old as fuck.

>>54304340
This.

Also a lot of the last few threads have been full of people that either have no clue what they're talking about when they critique cards, or people that are just there to spout nonsense and try to derail, which is really what's happening here.

MTG on /tg/ has generally been lukewarm in those regards over the last few months.

>>54307476
Iike the idea but I didnt think it was that great. It had a cute thing to care about but it doesnt feel like an uncard to me. I cant quite put my finger on why. But i posted it anyway.

>>54307885
I thought of a card that lets you play yu gi oh cards as though they are magic cards. But this didnt feel good to me as I made them

>>54307998
Its a little boring, but maybe you could just play them face down and trwat them as 2/2 creatures. Basically word it like manifest + draft matters cards or cards you own from outside the game wording. Then cards can care about yugioh cards you control. Rules list off the attributes face down cards dont have I think and being a yugioh card isnt one of them so I think that can still work.

Dealer's Table
2
Artifact
1, Tap: Deal each player a poker card. A player with poker cards with a CMC of more than 21 sacrifices all of their permanents. (Poker cards dealt this way are considered artifacts with a CMC equal to their value, or 10 for face cards.)

Poker cards would fit nicely in an un-set. You could have Gambler tribal, card knights a la Alice in Wonderland, cycling, cards that are more effective in pairs/trios, and etc, and so on. My example might be a little extreme, though.

So I don't have the ability yet to physically make card images, but I have some ideas for cards if you guys wouldn't mind giving feedback.

The first card I've been considering is a red instant. It costs R+two Phyrexian mana, and it deals three damage to target creature or player. The idea of course is that you lose more life than you deal damage if you want it to be a Bolt but most red decks wont mind. If it's too good I've considered it also saying "Then, that target player or target permanent's controller may scry 1."

>>54308246
I really like the tech of using manifest/morph text to use cards from other games. I didnt even think about giving the other cards their own qualities since they are identifiably not magic cards so theres no mix up with morphs.

>>54308246
Had similar idea today. Card is still WIP, so the name and image are just placeholders.

>>54308332
Its not too good. At the moment, red is almost useless because there are no burn cards or good spells. Your idea is okay, but i dislike pjyrexian mana. You could do something like. Deal X damage to target creature. You lose X-1 life.

>>54308332
Another card I've been thinking about is a blue instant. It costs U+one generic. It says "Discard any number of cards from your hand, then scry X, where X is twice the number of cards you discarded this way. Then, draw a card."
I can't tell if it's too good or shitty yet. If it's shitty then maybe it could have instantcycling for UU as well. If it's too good then it could be changed to make you exile from your hand instead of discard, or it could cost UU or U2. Alternatively, it could cost U and be a sorcery which would definitely weaken it imo. But what do you guys think? I like the idea of instantcycling being an ability but it would have to be high costed for obvious reasons.

>>54308465
I do like phyrexian mana but I agree that "~ deals 3 damage to target creature or player and 4 damage to you" feels better to me and more obviously get across what youre going for.

I do think the card would be too good though.

>>54308520
Same anon, now that I think about it UU is way to cheap to tutor for an instant without being counterable. scratch that idea completely

>>54308522
It woudnt, since they nerfed lightning bolt to hell. Red needs these spells to even compete with B at the moment. (If your cards are meant to be standard)
But I'd like to see some new effects for red, instead of plain damage in hundreds of variants.

>>54308465
>>54308522
thanks a lot for the input. I'm gonna go get food, when I come back I'll be sure to give feedback to the rest of the thread's ideas but I have to hit up the Chinese place near my dorm before it closes

>>54308603
What I mean is, eternal burn decks really shouldnt get more and imo better lava spikes. The card is fine in a vacuum I think if bolt is fine.

>>54308520
I now thought of a blue/red spell myself, maybe you like the idea.

The theme of these cards are elementals, so this spell creates a 2/2 elemental with haste. It gives you a counter, amd for every counter it creates an additional elemental with +1/+1. So the third time you cast this spell, you get a 2/2, a 3/3 and a 4/4. You may combo this with a copy card or chandra to make it even more powerful. Or instead of haste, they have prowess for more lategame and control. It should cost something like RB2 i think.

>>54308339
All you need is a bare minimum of rules text to dictate how mtg cards can interact with non-mtg cards and you can do what you want

>>54308414
I like it but the idea of losing hidden information to confirm and prevent cheating is worrisome

>>54308722
I like the idea. I don't have much input besides that desu. Haste is pretty good for making lots of tokens but I don't think it's too good. I'd imagine it's a sorcery?

>>54308414
It's a nice idea but I don't know how often the 21 cmc would actually come into effect
Maybe instead of the counters, you could have it say something like "whenever you are dealt damage by a source an opponent controls, draw a card" and have the flavor text "Hit me!"

>>54307773
>>54307027
I approve

>>54306983
I greatly approve

>>54306888
I like the first two, though blind billy might be worded better. The third need to be more fleshed out but might have potential.

>>54306511
I love it, nothing to add except that I think it would be good in red.

>>54306200
I like, especially the flavor text idea

>>54304715
Good attempt at a playable Necropotence. I don't think It's playable as is though.

>>54301398
I fucking love this. The second rules text sentence doesn't need clarification because it doesn't mean anything, and I find that hilarious.

>>54301146
Kinda boring. Give it something funny or have it make sense. Why does the tank have reach? Why isn't it a vehicle?

>>54300556
Flavor text saves a not funny card. It goves me an idea though:
Knight of Chivalry
Last Strike
Flavor text: "Ladies first"

I'm back from my Chinese food and fulfilling my promise. Gonna post more ideas in a bit.

>>54309425
Another idea:

Last Laugh
UUBB
Instant
When you cast Last Laugh, counter any number of target spells, activated abilities, and triggered abilities, copy any number of target spells and abilities, and gain control of any number of target spells.
You lose ten life.

>>54309860
And another:

Reflect on Actions
UU
Instant
Return any number of target spells to their owners hands. Each player skies X, where X is the number of spells returned to his or her hand this way.

Anyone else want to contribute?

>>54309860
Can you copy abilities?

Either way it should be worded:

>Counter an number of target spells, activated abilities, and triggered abilities. Copy any number of target spells, activated abilities, or triggered abilities on the stack. You may choose new targets for the copies.

I'm not sure what the purpose of also gaining contron of a spell is.

>>54310560
>skies
Scrys?

>>54311100
Pretty good.

>>54300556
Maro's actually been wanting to do Last Strike for quite some time. I'm honestly curious to see if he ever gets it done, especially so we can see Triple Strike (Double Strike plus Last Strike).

>>54311377
You can control a spell and copy it

>>54311100
This is cool, if I hadn't seen the spoilers I'd believe it was from HoD

>>54311858

Decided to just focus on copying creatures already on the battlefield this turn. And yeah, no, I'm not really into Un-cards, sorry.

>>54304715
I'm with the other guy, this just seems too steep to be of any real use. Maybe if it were a passive thing that maybe drained you some life on upkeep to draw some cards.

>>54308414
Hmm, I think it might be better if it looked at the total CMC of permanents you control. I'm also having a hard time understanding what the last ability has to do with blackjack.

>>54311100
Should say
>instant and/or sorcery
But beyond that, I just don't really see the recursion here. I dunno, it just feels a bit off to me. I also feel like the land discard might make it too easy to trigger the condition here. Could just be me though.

>>54311858
Interesting. I might actually steal the counter idea for BB here. Also, I think the last ability would be better as
>~ becomes a copy of a creature card an opponent owns in exile.
or
>~ becomes a copy of an exiled creature card an opponent owns.
No clear precedence either way though, sorry.

>>54312254
Maybe it should be target non-human creature? Just to add some flavor to it?

>>54312254
This first ability is literally Changeling. Why not just use that?

>>54312466
Maybe he's trying to avoid keyword bloat in his set.

>>54312499

>>54312466
The only non-evergreen keyword he's allowing himself to use is transform.

File: Detective Chimp.jpg (61KB, 375x523px) Image search: [Google]

61KB, 375x523px

The counter ability doesn't really make sense from a flavor aspect, this was definitely more bottom-up than top-down. I think I might recycle the abilities for another card and just skip the middleman and use Investigate, but come up with something else for Detective Chimp. I still like the idea of Clue tokens though. Maybe he can let you tap Clues instead of sac them to draw? Is that broken at all?

Backstory: Chimp who's a detective. I forget his origin, but it's not that improtant anyway. He's actually pretty good at what he does, around the same level as Batman and Elongated Man. He hung out with Shadowpact for a while, which was cool.

>>54312398
I was thinking about that before. Sounds like a good idea to include now, non-Human shouldn't be too limiting.

>>54312466
Because I want to avoid non-evergreen keywords as much as possible. The furthest I've gone in that direction is DFC and Transform. And I don't count it when I use something functionally identical to a non-evergreen mechanic without actually using that mechanic. I realize this might make me sound anal or something, but it's just something I want to keep for these CO cards.

Lands can't have CMC so I skipped it.

Does anyone have any experience with getting custom MTG cards printed so they look and feel real. It doesn't have to be perfect, I'd just be using them to have some fun with my friends. I've been looking around for some company that will make them, but a lot of places won't mess with MTG cards because of copyright.

So far, I think makeplayingcards.com might, but I'm not confident that they will. They seem like my best bet so far.

I also know that there are custom Chinese cards on alibaba, but I don't know how good those are, and the minimum order on the smallest size is around 1000 cards.

>>54314479
Seems fine. She's pretty similar to a 2/1 with haste and menace for 3.

>>54313842
Usually for lands, people use CMC and color to tell them what an activated ability should cost. Really unsure about the untap stuff and I'm pretty certain the token is too good, both with that P/T and evasion. Also, why doesn't it tap to make the token?

>>54314415
I don't know anything about getting cards printed, but if it were me, I'd do something like change the back or something else really obvious so it's clear I'm not trying to counterfeit cards. Then just put them in sleeves so they wouldn't be obvious when playing.

54KB, 375x523px

Changed the ability a bit. The reason for the odd wording is that I wanted the tap/untap targets to scale with the number of speed counters on him. Unfortunately, the way targeting works means that it doesn't really count the speed counter that goes on it as it attacks. So this is why the first part of the ability is separate from the scaling bit, and why the counter goes on last.

>>54317206
Seems OK. Scaling with power like this reminds me a lot of one-sided Fight, but it's probably fine.

Eh, don't really like this much. I guess because it's a P/T modifier on top of a P/T modifier. Not entirely sure what to do with it though... OK, here's the first thing that came to mind
>2U: Draw a card, then discard a card. If the discarded card was a creature card, create a 1/1 blue Spirit creature token with flying.

>>54328939
He does everything - ramp quickly, makes tokens, and pumps your board. Should only make 0/1 Plants and he should be 1/1 if not 0/1 to start.

Looks like you're taking replacing an interesting uncommon with a unique combination of abilities, and replacing it with card advantage and self synergy.

If you want it to truly affect everything, you will need wording similar to Conspiracy or Painter's Servant.

>Each card of a chosen type that isn’t on the battlefield, spell of a chosen type, and permanent of a chosen type is both chosen types in addition to its other types.

>>54314479
On the play, it kills your opponent's 2 drop, and every other 2 toughness creature until they can play something bigger. It also represents 4 hasty power for 3 that doesn't die at end of turn.

It is much more than 2/1 haste menace.

Why? Last strike not first strike.

Just noticed that this does not work. Should say until opponents next end phase

>>54332562
That does not work. If you copy it, you copy the ability, right? So whenever a copy dies, another two come in play.

>>54332384
>>54333644
Make it only +3/+0, because 4 is a bit too much and otherwise the huge increase in toughness pretty much completely offsets the whole "Last Strike" thing anyway.

The "Up to one" condition on the second ability means you never have to actually buff an opponent's creature, unless you're going for some weird political nonsense.

>>54333668
If an opponent creates a copy of it, it'll only create another copy when that copy dies.

>>54333811
>Oh right, but does the copy of the copy creste another copy?

It will when it dies. So if you're playing 1v1, you and your opponent will keep ping-ponging copies back at each other whenever one dies.

Am I the only one thinking, that this is shit? If you play 2v2, they are pingponging this to hell. Should have a restriction or something

Eh... part of me thinks it's kinda weak, but I can't pinpoint it exactly. I guess it's that in order for it to be really good, a bunch of creatures need to die, plus there's the additional downside of losing life.

Decided to pump this up a bit more. No more tapping or saccing, but you do have to untap the Ring if you want to tutor for an aura or equipment.

Lore: Barry Allen, the Flash, made a small ring that could hold his entire costume inside. Costumes don't really exist in Magic, so this just fetches Auras and Equipment that could be put onto the equipped creature.

>>54349320

>Using other franchises is just gay.
And you say this in a thread devoted to imaginary Magic cards that will never get printed?

>>54347218
I think this card, but I'm not sure how usable it would be. You're giving up a lot of card advantage to have a chance at going even with an opponent.

Maybe change it to
>At the beginning of your upkeep, sacrifice ~ unless you discard a card or pay 3 life.

Or something similar. If you're going to leave it the same, you could probably get away with lowering the mana cost to B.

>>54347224
This seems really situational to be at common, as there will have to be two spells on the stack for it to do anything.

>>54347232
I like this one a lot. Maybe add a "prevent all damage that would be dealt to that planeswalker this turn" or something in there somewhere, as even with indestructible, the planeswalker can still lose loyalty counters from damage.

>>54348820
Don't see tapping enchantments often.

These all seem pretty pushed, but I'm guessing that's the intention?

>>54347218
Huh, I just realized that there are barely any auras that give the Specter ability. Wonder why. Anyway, card seems OK, but the upkeep cost seems kinda steep. Maybe just discard when it ETB?

>>54347224
I feel like it should just use the "Choose one or both" wording.

>>54347232
Pretty cool. This is something I think I could get behind. Hmm, just wish there were obvious things the others could do. Well, maybe you could make a R one that had a planeswalker ping something equal to the number of loyalty counters on it? Anyway, I think this should also prevent damage that would be dealt to it for the turn, as Gideon does. Oh! And it should definitely continue being a planeswalker. Otherwise you could run into the incredibly awkward situation of the planeswalker getting attacked and then it turns into a creature. What happens then? Wait, but Sarkhan's mR card doesn't stay a planeswalker. So what happens when you use that ability plus the Teferi emblem for instant speed? I'll have to look that up.

Basic idea is that you can choose to get an extra card, or you can chuck the card for extra damage. Still refining this though.

Wait, what about a twist on Firemind? Similar triggered ability, but it triggers per draw instance instead of per card drawn. I might look into that.

>>54359371
I think that's a bit overly conservative. I can understand your fears, but I think there's a difference between, say, Red tutoring for Dragons, and Red tutoring for Auras. It makes sense for Red to tutor for the iconic creature type of Red, despite Red not being able to get the universal creature tutors that Green has access to, but it doesn't make sense at all for Red to care about Auras.

>>54361901
I'm just going to go through the concepts and mechanics here rather than the wording.

>Ravask
Yeah, this is pretty much exactly why I think 2 CMC walkers can't be a thing. This thing is just so weak it hurts. Though I have to admit, the emblem idea could be kinda interesting. Everything else on this I think should be scrapped.

>Videntix
Another incredibly weak planeswalker. This card does literally nothing by itself. If it doesn't already have cards in play to work with, it can't do anything.

>Anaekar
First part of the first ability seems fine, but gaining Vigilance and Reach seems really off. Also, is this supposed to be permanent or until end of turn? Second ability seems weak, Wildspeaker could untap two lands of any type as his +1 and he costs 2GG. Last ability seems like it could be OK, but I think the card then should be BG and focus a lot more on creatures. Maybe some token creation too.

>Vicidius
Really not feeling... anything positive about any of this. Sorry. But I especially hate that ult. Just seeing it cost 0 but have a 20 loyalty requirement made me completely flip out. Why not just make it -20?

Of all of these, the one I like most is easily Anaekar, this is closest to being a legit planeswalker. And I'm sorry to say this, but that's just mostly because it's not a gimmickwalker. As you might be able to tell, I'm not really a fan of these alternative loyalty counter abilities.

Give us some background lore so we can help you with these things. We don't need the entire life story of each of these guys, just a brief summary about things pertaining to what powers they have and what they want to do with them.

Might as well post my planeswalker too though. Main change is to the middle ability. It's now more flexible, but no longer allows you to effectively cast the card with generic mana, so I decreased the loyalty cost by 1.

>>54362116
>>Ravask
>This thing is just so weak it hurts.
Could you be clearer on why he's weak? I thought he was actually on the strong side, since you could drop him on turn two and sac something with a big ass and get a lot of tokens on him quickly to use his other two abilities freely.

>>Videntix
Yeah, I figured this guy was underpowered, but I had a lot of trouble making him similar to the character.

>>Anaekar
>First part of the first ability seems fine, but gaining Vigilance and Reach seems really off. Also, is this supposed to be permanent or until end of turn?
The flavor is that she empowers you, but slowly turns you more spider like, hence the creature gaining "spider" abilities like reach. Vigilance is on there because you'll want to attack with the creature due to the counters on it, but still want it around to protect her afterwards. The vigilance/reach is supposed to be permanent.

> Wildspeaker could untap two lands of any type as his +1 and he costs 2GG.
I'll have to look into the other green planeswalkers again, thanks.

>Last ability seems like it could be OK, but I think the card then should be BG and focus a lot more on creatures. Maybe some token creation too.
Why Black? Green can tutor creatures on its own. Having her more focused on tokens is a good idea though.

>>Vicidius
>I especially hate that ult. Just seeing it cost 0 but have a 20 loyalty requirement made me completely flip out. Why not just make it -20?
It's just supposed to be a flavor thing. He's a knight that's loyal to a fault, so nothing outside of lethal damage will force him to leave your side. I wanted to make his ult unique in that he doesn't leave after it goes off. Once you get to 20 you can keep using it.


I'll give some lore background in my next post since I've capped this one.

I'm not sure I can comment on your planeswalker since I'm obvious not the greatest at making them, but his -2 seems too strong. He can exile another player's lands and let you play them.

>>54361901
Why are the ults on the first three terrible? even tibalt had an ult that won the game if you managed to get it off

>>54362594
There's no ult on Ravask. What you have as an ult would be better suited as a normal ass minus ability since the emblem doesn't hurt at all and is the only emblem in the game that can be turned off to my knowledge

>>54362594
>Could you be clearer on why he's weak? I thought he was actually on the strong side, since you could drop him on turn two and sac something with a big ass and get a lot of tokens on him quickly to use his other two abilities freely.
If you do so, you are at basically no board presence and down two cards. Your opponent can then just roll over your face or his face. And if he doesn't live long enough to -2 twice, you got card disadvantage.

>>54362594
>Ravask
He only really works IF you have a creature with reasonable toughness to sac, and IF you can afford to lose that defense to put counters on the card, which then can't use any of his abilities during that turn. And even if he did use any of his abilities, none of them make up for taking away some of your defense. And even if you did use a bunch of small tokens, you can only sac once each turn. Even if they're bears, you're going to be saccing guys about as often as using his other abilities, and that's a best-case scenario.

>Anaekar
>The vigilance/reach is supposed to be permanent.
Ugh, I was afraid of that. It just screams memory issues. Well, if the point was to make you more spider-like, maybe change the ult to an emblem that does stuff to carry across that flavor? Like, creatures you control are Spiders and get Reach maybe.
>Why Black?
I suggested that because it's basically the Spider colors now, BG, but you can keep it mG if you wish.

>Vicidius
>He's a knight that's loyal to a fault, so nothing outside of lethal damage will force him to leave your side.
In that case, I'd rather the card focus on damage prevention.
>I wanted to make his ult unique in that he doesn't leave after it goes off.
What do you mean "he doesn't leave"? Just give him one more loyalty counter and he'll stay behind.
>Once you get to 20 you can keep using it.
And that doesn't strike you as being oppressive?

>I'm not sure I can comment on your planeswalker since I'm obvious not the greatest at making them, but his -2 seems too strong. He can exile another player's lands and let you play them.
Thanks for the feedback. Sounds like a good idea then to turn the ability back to costing -3.

>>54362651
>the only emblem in the game that can be turned off to my knowledge
The Amonkhet Gideon has an emblem like his. It's basically a Platinum Angel as long as you control a Gideon.

>>54362116
+1 and -2 are fine, though they are just value abilities. The deck that wants Hamza doesn't want that ult.

>>54362752
Thanks for the feedback. I'm pretty shit when it comes to archetypes unfortunately. What deck would you say wants the card, or at least the first two abilities, as it is now?

>>54362785
You really need to play more magic, even if it's just the Duels games.

Control wants card advantage and discard. Midrange also, but it's not in the typical midrange colors.

>>54362116
>>54362594
>Give us some background lore so we can help you with these things. We don't need the entire life story of each of these guys, just a brief summary about things pertaining to what powers they have and what they want to do with them.

Ravask's occupation is someone who goes out an ensures that various people hold up their ends of the pacts they make with demons, which are prevalent across the plane. He also stores these hearts for those demons until they're needed.

His card is a bit of a gimmick, as you sac a creature to give him its heart, giving him loyalty. His -2 is Lay Bare the Heart, and his -3 is Curse of the Pierced Heart, which were spells he used frequently.


Videntix manipulates fate and feeds off of spells that are cast around him. He's an old walker that kept his bizarro energy form after the mending.


Anaekar uses magic that gives strength, but slowly gives you spider-like quality. She was also a Marchioness in the setting, meaning that she "owned" a ton of land, all of which was completely overrun with spiders and spider-hybrids, hence her spider tutor. She could be green/black based on her personality, but she really didn't use any black magic.


Vicidius, is cursed to unquestioningly serve whoever uses his hunting horn, which would wake him from death. He was basically the primary antagonist, as the villain, who was much weaker than the PCs, used the horn to repeatedly resurrect him.

Each time Vicidus fulfills a task for his master his curse makes him a stronger servant, until he reached a point where he could effortlessly banish the opposition. Killing him was the only way to temporarily get rid of him. He was intended to be a Gabranth/Pyramid Head/Nemesis type of antagonist. Showing up several times over the campaign.

>>54362664
>>54362717
This is good feedback thanks.

>And that doesn't strike you as being oppressive?
Originally it was "-20:You win the game" So I'm not really sure if the new ability is much different.

>>54362915
That second ability is RG
Red's the only color that discards before drawing. Mainly cause they hate red

>>54362866
>You really need to play more magic, even if it's just the Duels games.
I know, but the Duels games are boring and I'm shit at fighting humans.

>Control wants card advantage and discard. Midrange also, but it's not in the typical midrange colors.
Well, I was thinking control. I'm guessing the ult should be less expensive and more... incremental(?) in helping you maintain control.

>>54362930
Whenever a player searches for an object with a characteristic, the player doesn't have to find that object. You'd have to do something like
>Reveal your library. Target opponent chooses a creature card revealed this way. Put that card into your hand, then shuffle your library.
Or something.

>>54363014
>I know, but the Duels games are boring and I'm shit at fighting humans.
You should do it anyways, it will give you perspective and make you a better designer.

>>54319226
It would be simpler to just add the creature types to the creatures of the other type, and vice versa.

>>54361901
>>54362879
I liked Ravask's 0 ability, so here's my take on his abilities.
+1: Target player loses 3 life. That player may draw a card. If they do, they discard a card.
-3: Target player sacrifices a creature. Put a number of loyalty counters on ~ equal to that creature's toughness.
-4: Target player gains an emblem with "Whenever you cast a spell, lose half of your life, rounded down."

So, his +1 is the opponent making a pact, his -3 is him collecting hearts, and his -4 (maybe it should be a -5 or -6?) is a curse.
Any feedback welcome, obviously. It's certainly not perfect.

>>54362879
>Ravask
I see where you're going with it, I just don't think the sac ability is a good idea at all. Maybe change the heart-taking to a different ability and do something besides loyalty counters. Gaining life, drawing cards, getting +1/+1 counters, that sorta stuff.

>Videntix
Well, I can see why you're having trouble with him. Obvious answer is to focus on spellcasting, like giving stuff Flash, putting an emphasis on noncreature spells or instant and sorcery spells, making spells cost less, copying spells you cast, etc.

>Anaekar
Again, I think this one is pretty close to a good walker.

>Vicidius
This sounds like a terrible backstory for a planeswalker. He could be in Ravnica or Alara, but if someone blows his horn he has to warp back to whatever plane it's on? Is that it?

I might have pulled off this effect finally but I'm sure the wording is wrong, can I get the correct text?

It's meant to be a sort of all around Green protection against instants an activated ability, so your creatures aren't getting pathed, murdered or countered on your turn (though still leaving everything open to green spells). It used to be an instant but was really clunky, making it an enchantment made is much simpler. Maybe its to cheap for that much protection?

Also, it still falls to colorless.

>>54367026
Yeah it does doesn't it. No pesky blue mages but that disk is still ready to go. Would making it so artifacts can't be activated be going to far to make it G/W or could it stay mono green?

>During your turn, your opponents can't activate abilities of permanents they control

Is that better or much worse? I don't want any kind of Time Walk effect for Green, just the peace of mind protection to play spells (most of the time) like Gaea's Herald offers.

Repost. Guy controls darkness/shadows, uses that to make clones of stuff. Obvious combo with the Shade pump.

>>54367132
>During your turn, your opponents can't cast spells or activate abilities that aren't mana abilities.
Though I'm not sure if this can even be Green, I feel like it should be GW or mW.

My only other idea would be giving all your creatures Indestructible and/or Hexproof, but Avacyn covers the former and Asceticism covers the latter.

I've updated three of the planeswalkers to try and make them more playable with all the feedback you guys gave. I haven't really had any ideas for the fourth.

>>54366622
>This sounds like a terrible backstory for a planeswalker. He could be in Ravnica or Alara, but if someone blows his horn he has to warp back to whatever plane it's on? Is that it?
It's a pact that high ranking knights in the setting agree to, because it guarantees that their families will be safe from harm and well provided for by the demonic Princes that rule the plane.

The servitude lasts until one of the Princes breaks the horn. Vicidius sparked long after he already made the pact and became cursed, and because he's a planeswalker, no Prince has ever wanted to end his service. He's very old and battle-weary, with his family having died long ago, so despite his tenacity and power, he really only wants to rest in solitude as he has no ambition or sense of purpose anymore.

>>54367002
>Whenver an opponent taps a permanent for mana during your turn, that permanent adds that much green mana to their mana pool instead.
I think that's it. I used Eyes of the Wisent's wording as a base if you're curious.

>>54367132
>>54367306
Green can't prevent players from casting spells, but it can punish spell casts. Again, see Eyes of the Wisent.

New ult.

>>54367847
>Green can't prevent players from casting spells, but it can punish spell casts. Again, see Eyes of the Wisent.
Uh, yeah, that's why I said it should be Green-White or mono-White.

>Planeswalkers
I still don't think CMC 2 walkers are a good idea. They often tend to be too weak to be of any actual use.

>Ravask
>+2
This is precisely the kinda stuff I'm talking about. Elspeth, Knight-Errant has a +1 to make a 1/1, and she costs 2WW. And the two cards that have a +2 to make a 1/1 cost 5 CMC. Granted, there's an additional upside there, but still. I think you can get away with making a token for +1 only if the card is at least 1BR.
>-3
I'm glad to see this brought back. I dunno, I guess I just kinda like the idea here. And stacking the emblems makes sense. Not entirely sure of the cost here though.I say just keep it where it's at for now. But I think the wording should be changed to
>At the beginning of your upkeep, if an opponent controls a Ravask planeswalker, you lose 1 life.
>-7
Eh, I'm not too keen on a planeswalker handing out two different emblems. Not entirely sure what to replace it with though.

>Videntix
>+2
I'd recommend changing it to
>Until your next turn, you may cast a card from your hand as though it had flash.
Not really feeling it though. Again, I just feel like 2 CMC walkers never really work.
>-5
Where are you casting it from?
>-10
Just tutor three cards. Otherwise anyone you play with will want to strangle you. "Hold on, give me ten minutes to decide the order of my deck."

>Anaekar
>+1
Too good. You can use it as a +1 to make a 2/2 with Reach, but it's even better than that, really. I I think it should just make the Spider. Oh, and probably make it 1/2 as well. That seems to be more or less the standard.
>0
Huh? This is Red, but why is she taking over a land anyway?
>-4
Huh? This is Blue or Red.
>-7
Huh? Why does she care about lands now?

Anyway, don't get discouraged, designing planeswalkers is very difficult.

Stayin' alive, /ccg/?

Do you guys think Wizards would ever use landfall in an expert non-Zendikar set? I have a setting for a set Im brainstorming thats top down and landfall is a perfect flavor hit for one aspect of it (if we assume landfall = going to a new place flavorfully even if the name doesnt quite convey that). But to me Landfall feels too tied to Zendikar. It wouldnt be the main mechanic in my set I dont think, but I dont know how Wizards treats these kinds of things. Im not so sure because they made Explore for Ixalan to flavorfully represent a similar thing and I know its close in proximity to BFZ relatively speaking but them not just using Landfall makes me think they didnt really want to use it because of its relation to Zendikar.

>>54369833
I feel like all this really needs is UB. W fits too, but I don't see how G does at all.

>>54370292
Well, this snowballs out of control very quickly. Don't think I'm a fan. Maybe if it were something like
>Whenever a creature deals combat damage, put a +1/+1 counter on ~.
Which is still kinda crazy.

>>54370612
Green via the progenitor mimic effect. Also deathtouch. It's 4-color so I'm reaching a bit, but I don't think too much.

>>54370292
Decidedly not red
