    (Some personal reflection below)
    I stumbled upon one of the card-creation tutorials posted on the forums here the other day, and after skimming it, I've had an epiphany of sorts about my card designs. I think I've been starting to slip into the mindset of 'this card is rare/mythic/legendary, so it needs to be powerful, and therefore it needs to not only have a strong effect, but also protect itself and/or enable said effect (or just have a lot of text on it in general). Otherwise it won't be able to keep up with other rare/mythic/legendary cards that Wizards/other cardsmiths are creating, so nobody will look at them.' While this may be okay (if not necessary) occasionally, I think this sort of ideal might be what leads to cards like Korvold/Chulane being printed (i.e. powerful cards, especially in 3+ colors, that are a nigh-complete package by themselves). I find that cards like these generally don't make for very interesting commanders, gameplay-wise or deckbuilding-wise.

    Starting with this pack, I'm going to try to move away from that kind of thinking and toward more simplified, niche or 'build-around-me' cards, in an effort to craft what I hope will become some interesting commanders. It helps that the standard pack has 3 uncommon challenges. :)

    Mini-rant over (please forgive my exceedingly long sentences if you read through it all). :sweat_smile:
    Off to bed; another Legends Pack please! :D

    I originally had planned to use this other card for the mythic prompt, but I didn't realize until I was almost finished tweaking it that neither ability is an activated ability. :sweat:
