My friend showed me this site and I hope to make something really cool for you all to see and hope i can get some feedback that will help me, thanks : )

I try to make this look as nice and professional as possible so I hope i am presenting it well to you all. I have many cards written on paper, I've been mkaing this for a while but with this site I will be able to share and tune it with the help of the community hopefully. I am using the as of now new set Oath of the Gatewatch's card count to help me with setting certain goals with this.

    Aye, a grand endeavour to be sure.

    Good luck and don't hesitate to ask people through the forums or on your cards for assistance. Most of us align on the side of helpful.

    Just added the new mechanics to the post and made some new cards featuring them : )
    So far all the planeswalkers are complete and already have 42 out of 184 !

    Noice! Is there any way I could help?? (Keep in mind, I ask this, and then I will probably contribute one or two cards [Assuming you want help], and then forget. Sorry ;-;)

    If anyone wants to really help i'm pretty bad at making green and black cards. Hard to design for both when the set is a lot about artifacts and it all haha : )

    Any ideas or cycles would be useful too ! Always need more creatures : )

    @RingsOfVyrn Here's a card for you:
    Soul Drain- B
    Sorcery
    Target player loses 1 life and you gain 1 life.
    Grimoire- As you cast this spell, you may reveal your hand. If a Vampire is among the cards revealed this way, that player loses 2 life and you gain 2 life instead.
    Rarity: Uncommon

    I'm really, really sorry that the Flavor Text goes off the box, and sorry that it's not Black/Green. Here's an Artifact for you! I made it Mythic cause That's what it feels like to me, but feel free to change it as you wish. http://mtgcardsmith.com/view/corpse-maker-grimoire

    Also, a question about Impulse? The way I'm looking at it, Impulse can be cast any number of times, as it simply says, "Impulse N (As you cast this spell, you may pay N. If you do, cast this spell again.)". So when you cast it again, can you also pay the Impulse Cost again???

    @RukeyAsylum I would use it but unfortunately vampires are not a race in this set but i can fix it to be a different race if thats OK : )

    @Bobtacos no problem! i like the idea i'll find a place for it somewhere : )
    And yes, Impulse infinitely loops with itself, provided you have the mana for it and or the legal targets. So I've been trying to be careful with things like Prowess and spell triggers haha

    Ah, cool. Thanks for the fast reply! Also, I know that a lot of Mirrodin and Mirrodin Besieged Blocks cards might not fit Flavor-Wise, but have you considered adding some of those??
  • RingsOfVrynRingsOfVryn
    I'm still thinking about ' reprints'. I want the cards to be a take on Vryn, so other than the obvious such as the Shatter and Naturalize cards. But maybe we 'll see : )
  • RingsOfVrynRingsOfVryn
    Update : unfortunately due to a computer issue i lost all my files and design notes on Rings of Vryn along with many of the art pieces used and unused : (

    I do'nt have any backups so I'll be trying to restore the files but if i can't manage i'll be going ahead with my Ravnica Under Siege set instead. hopefully i can get them back : (
  • CorwinnnCorwinnn
    I feel your pain @RingsOfVryn - At the end of December my Hard Drive took a dump and I lost everything too! We most likely would have been done with Forgotten Dragons by now but I'm constantly doing Art Crawls... get a great idea for a card, then I have to go out and find something that fits. Best of luck!

    @RingsOfVryn hopefully this guy will cheer you up http://mtgcardsmith.com/view/tomb-protector?list=user

    1. White Lotus: the name has been used to death their is no way to beat the black lotus.

    2: Some corwinnn cards! maybe up to debate by good squirrel art is annoying!

    3. four color commanders!
