Good call. And good catch.
And I'm also not in the inspiring mood for a rename. But I did rename it fairly quickly.
I think that It that Ceases Infinity's mana increasing abilit is a bit too much for its power and cost. Either tone down the creature's power and toughness or tone down the cost increase.
Haunting of the Slain looks like a really innovative card. In game play when this hits, I feel like it might be a dead play. Though the temptation of it being there in play is real.
Seems like it belongs to green. The summit thing, I mean. Also seems like it belongs to the Abzan.
@Beydin13
I also agree that Summit sounds green, but that would make this really fit into the Abzan. If you switch out the Artwork for something less Skeleton-like, it would totally embody that!
What about having it say control more of a certain land type than just "lands"
For instance "control the most plains/swamps"
That could probably fine, I think. It would sound like:
Summit [landtype] -- If you control the most [landtype], [effect]
Dunno about the balancing parts though.
So, here's an Eldrazi card from me. I choose this because the art is pretty neat. Any suggestion to make it not broken?
(Card changed.)
This is my second card, and I know it needs a lot of improvement. I want to keep the name, and keep the ability somewhat the same. Feedback would be appreciated.
Here's a better wording:
"At the beginning of each player's upkeep, that player chooses one permanent of each type from among the nonland permanents he or she controls, then sacrifices the rest."
The problem with this would be that (unless someone managed to remove it), players would play with only 1 land for the rest of the game, and, as it triggers on upkeeps, you could just let it get rid of all other players stuff and then get rid of it before it does the same to yours. It just doesn't work right now.
Perhaps:
Quality Over Quantity
{3}{w}{u}
When QOQ ETBs, choose one permanent of each type from among the nonland permanents you control, then sacrifices the rest.
At the beginning of each player's upkeep, that player chooses one permanent of each type from among the nonland permanents he or she controls, then sacrifices the rest.
Kind cool, just difficult to balance appropriately.
Here's my newest!

Mainly looking for thoughts on Legacy and other mechanics that you would recommend doubling with it. A pass time of making cards has become an interest in fleshing out a tiny set. Will probably start a thread, but want my stuff more together before I do.

Maybe you could have an extra effect for them casting it without Legacy. Like, they get the birds if they cast it using Legacy, but the birds get vigilance if they use the full mana cost to cast the card, or something like that. Just an idea that could be expanded upon.
I like the concept of the card - though I think it should be 'Human Wizard' instead of 'Human Mage' - but I am confused by the solid gold border. Is this intentional? Or is this a typo?
Thoughts?

Card changed.
Not to mention, if someone has a land card that has an effect when it's sacrificed or when it enters the battlefield, they can use those effects every other turn and every turn (respectively) without penalty. If you have something like Heroic Intervention on hand (http://gatherer.wizards.com/Pages/Card/Details.aspx?multiverseid=423776), you can protect this enchantment for fairly cheap, which is great considering it's a 1 cost.
Nevertheless I love the card and its ability, I'd just suggest reworking either the second or third ability.

The last ability can be insane, or awful. It synergises well with the top ability, which is nice.

This is one of the first cards I made on this site. I'd really like to see some feedback.
Basically, no matter how many cards block this, they will all be destroyed unless they're of really high toughness. He does 3 damage to them all right off the bat, and they do whatever damage they're doing to him to themselves as well. Players can destroy it, but if they do so with damage, they're hurting themselves. That ability is fine, but that means they'll be doing at LEAST 9 damage to themself. I'd recommend lowering the toughness a bit, especially considering its activated ability.
You have the potential to kill all of an opponent's creatures in one go by diverting all damage to Pariosah, which is a pretty strong ability that's hard to counter. I love the card, and the ideas are cool, I'd just recommend lowering the toughness and MAYBE refining the passive a bit. I don't want to neuter the card and make it useless, but as it is it feels pretty strong, as well as its ability to burst damage with Dash.
Just my opinion, I'm sure there are people far more suited to this than me.
I guess I'll throw this in here: https://mtgcardsmith.com/view/summon-the-end-2
I made a few cards with the new type of Ritual, the stipulation being that they cost as much as how many turns you wish to keep them in play, and all creatures that use the effects of the Ritual must be exiled after the Ritual resolves.
Thoughts about my own ritual?

That is kinda the opposite of what black does.
Balance is fine, and I love the concept. I would have made it mono white not mono black. Changing the name and art, of course.
I struggled with balancing is one for a while. I would love to hear your thoughts.
Is the cmc too high for this?
I know the name isn't the best, but I usually struggle with coming up with cool names. But anyway, how's the balancing?
