Make some Womps! (Ongoing)

Monty

@SalokinTheAllSeeing lovelovelove the flavor text, adding the rest of the mtg mythos into the set is a nice touch, I won't declare the first "winners" (as it were) until late August/ early September, but I do like your submission.

Morbli. Such a fun word to say. Morbli morbli morbli.

Monty

@Cardshaman, Morbli, hehe, though if I'm reading his right does this mean you could just drop it turn 1 without penalty? Seems akin to black lotus power levels, only on a land with extra utility.

CardShaman

@Monty, maybe it should enter tapped? Tell me and I'll remake it. Or I could make it a mythic.

CardShaman

@Monty, do you think it would be possible to make a womp village? Or are womps wild creatures? I was going to make a card called "Womp Village" but I wanted to get your angle on it.

Now I'm into lands. http://mtgcardsmith.com/view/womp-grove

@Tutlaschk More art! https://s-media-cache-ak0.pinimg.com/236x/c5/11/af/c511afdd8fb3d386e3b723e0f52fbf87.jpg

@Cardshaman, balancing 3 mana lands at rare usually has severe drawbacks, the only existing example is Lotus Vale, and that drawback is massive, though it does make it a balanced card. To balance Morbli you'd have to give it a drawback that either cripples its use or synergizes negatively with the Womp archetype since it gives Womps such a boost, examples would be only being able to play it after you control X Womps, at which point the large amounts of mana would be more arbitrary since Womps are a lower CMC tribe, or removing Womp counters in order to play/ use its abilities.

CardShaman

@Monty I was thinking of doing the womp counters thing, actually. Here's the new version: http://mtgcardsmith.com/view/morbli-womp-sanctuary-1

Monty

@Cardshaman, getting better, at that power level I'd make it a mythic, the free "Raise Dead" ability practically reads 'Draw a Card' on a land without any additional cost, doable, but very, very strong

@Monty: Third edition! http://mtgcardsmith.com/view/morbli-womp-sanctuary-2

CardShaman

@Monty I messed up and forgot to credit the artist. Here it is again. http://mtgcardsmith.com/view/morbli-womp-sanctuary-3

Monty

@Cardshaman, man, it's sooo powerful, but not overly broken, delayed non-variable mana is a nice touch and the conditional value aspect is also a good balance choice, I love it

@Monty check this one out. let me know if you like it!

Monty

@Blackfalcon333 Neat core concept, though it has a handful of issues to sort out first.
- The mana cost and card border are mismatched.
- The Power/ Toughness and color are not specified for the Womp tokens.
- The Common + Legendary tag can make the design space it takes up/ creates very wibbly-wobbly.

Potential fixes:
- Border/ Cost edits
- Text edits
- Possibly type/ subtype rewordings? A common legendary is an interesting idea, though something with an ability that value-focused might want to be rare at least (works better with the legend tag)

I do like that flavor text though, appreciate the submission

Tutlaschk

@CardShaman Its a little bit too small, sorry

@Monty here's another one. http://mtgcardsmith.com/view/cards_ip/1472131049710345.png?t=153070

Monty

@Blackfalcon333 great! Could you send me the URLs for both? I only have the image links atm.

LittleDemon

How do you use the pictures from documents?

LittleDemon

it always says filetype not allowed

Monty

@littledemon, for which process? Uploading to the forum? Copy-pasting the "image address" from the chosen imagee will give you a .png file, which works on the forums.

LittleDemon

for uploading it to make cards

Monty

@littledemon What filetype are you uploading? .jpg? .png?
